Problems solved by technology

In a more extreme situation, if the user uses the wrong driver to overwrite the original driver, it will cause the computer operating system to run abnormally or even crash.
Users can't tell which driver needs to be installed
There are many manifestations of an abnormal driver. Sometimes it will appear that it is normal and other drivers are abnormal. At this time, simply installing the abnormal hardware driver cannot solve the problem at all.

Embodiment Construction

[0011] In today's computer structure design, hardware devices such as display cards, audio cards, etc., all need drivers as a communication bridge between the operating system and hardware devices. Drivers match the hardware device and operating system for the hardware device to function properly. The complexity of the driver and related data increases the difficulty of driver installation.

[0012] In the installation method design of driver program of the present invention, comprise following data package:

[0013] Driver collection, which concentrates the drivers of various hardware devices;

[0014] The driver installation program is used to automatically install the driver program to the computer. This technology is a known technology and will not be repeated here;

[0015] Driver installation information, record the matching hardware device ID, hardware device manufacturer ID, operating system type, language environment, post-installation actions and driver storage pat...

Abstract

The drive program installing process includes the following steps: reading out the state and characteristic information of hardware equipment; judging whether the hardware equipment is abnormal or has drive program un-installed; if so, obtaining the drive installation information and drive program set matching the characteristic information of the hardware equipment; judging the type of the operation system; selecting all the matched drive programs from the drive program set based on the type of the operation system; and driving the installation program to install selected drive program according to the installation order the drive installation information defines.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a driver installation method. Background technique [0002] There are many kinds of hardware devices in the personal computer, and these hardware devices need to install corresponding driver data in the operating system in order to run normally. Usually these driver data are stored in multiple different paths of a certain storage device, and the user needs to find out these driver data according to the hardware device type and operating system type of the current personal computer, and install them into the operating system respectively. [0003] Users often do not know the type of hardware device installed in the personal computer, nor can they distinguish the type of operating system. Therefore, even if the driver data location of the personal computer is known, the driver data cannot be installed correctly. Users often don't know whether they need to install drivers, corresponding to many different operating systems, somet...
