Problems solved by technology

First, because DSM searches specific directories of the operating system to discover drivers, drivers containing data sources must always reside in specific directories, increasing the storage requirements of the system
Also, if the host computer is unstable and the driver is moved or changed, it is impossible to drive an image pickup device such as a scanner

Abstract

A method of controlling an image acquisition device using a virtual driver and controlling a driver of the image acquisition device that is attachable to a host includes storing a virtual driver corresponding to a real driver for the image acquisition device in the image acquisition device, storing the real driver in an external storage device, activating the virtual driver to control the real driver stored in the external storage device if the image acquisition device and the external storage device are connected to the host, recognizing the image acquisition device and the external storage device connected to the host, and copying the virtual driver to the host if the image acquisition device is recognized. Accordingly, a user does not need to install drivers, and can perform image scanning even when the host is unstable and the real driver is removed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 2004-40325 filed on Jun. 3, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present general concept relates to a method of driving an image capturing device, and more particularly, to a method for controlling an image capturing device by storing a driver program in an external storage device and linking the driver program to the A corresponding image acquisition device, a method and a system for driving an image acquisition device such as a scanner, a printer, or a digital camera. Background technique [0004] In order to scan an image with an image processing apparatus such as a scanner, a driver that controls the scanner resident in a host computer (for example, a host computer) is required. A Technology Without An Important Name (TWAIN) driver is typically used to control a scanner. An image s...
