Method and apparatus for monitoring hot-plug situation of mobile hard disk

Abstract

The invention relates to a computer technology, in particular to a method and an apparatus for monitoring a hot-plug situation of a mobile hard disk. The method and the apparatus are used for improving the protection degree of data integrity and security. The method comprises the steps of detecting whether an application is started or not when a terminal detects that the mobile hard disk is plugged or unplugged, and if yes, locking or unlocking the mobile hard disk electronically by the terminal and then performing locking or unlocking mechanically; or otherwise, locking or unlocking the mobile hard disk mechanically by the terminal. Therefore, data in the mobile hard disk can be subjected to encryption protection; the data in the mobile hard disk is prevented from being subjected to accidental destruction such as virus invasion and the like; the security and secrecy of the data in the mobile hard disk are ensured; the security and integrity of data written in or/and read out from themobile hard disk by the terminal are ensured; the mobile hard disk can be prevented from being loose and dropping out during use; and the false plugging and unplugging situation of the mobile hard disk is effectively prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to a method and device for monitoring the hot swapping of a mobile hard disk. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of technology, various documents are usually stored in the form of electronic documents. Correspondingly, mobile hard disks are widely used as a simple and portable data storage device. [0003] Under the current technology, when the user hot-plugs the mobile hard disk on the terminal, the terminal will prompt the user through the indicator light whether it can be hot-swapped. However, if the user does not pay attention to the prompt of the indicator light, it may be unplugged by mistake, or, During the movement of the terminal, the mobile terminal may also loosen and fall out. In these two cases, if data is being written or / and read in the mobile terminal, data errors will occur. [0004] It can be seen that under the current technology, although the in...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Under the current technology, when the user hot-plugs the mobile hard disk on the terminal, the terminal will prompt the user through the indicator light whether it can be hot-swapped. However, if the user does not pay attention to the prompt of the indicator light, it may be unplugged by mistake, or, During the movement of the terminal, the mobile terminal may also loosen and fall out. In these two cases, if data is being written or / and read out in the mobile terminal, data errors will occur.

[0004] It can be seen that under the current technology, although the indicator light can be used to prompt whether the mobile hard disk can be hot-swapped, it is still impossible to avoid data security problems caused by user misuse.
