[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a system configuration method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where electronic devices are restored to factory settings. The method can be executed by a system configuration device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured within the electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0030] S110, Get information on newly added system partitions.

[0031] S120. Based on the newly added partition information of the system, create a target system partition in the system virtual partition.

[0032] S130. After the target system partition is created, obtain system recovery information, and restore the electronic device to the factory default state based on the system recovery information, wherein the system recovery information includes recovery information of the system virtual partition.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the electronic device includes a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The memory may include pre-created system virtual partitions and non-system virtual partitions. A system virtual partition refers to a virtual disk partition within the system partition, without a set disk space size. In contrast, a non-system virtual partition is a real disk partition with a set disk space size. The system partition refers to the partition where an operating system is installed, such as a Windows operating system partition.

[0034] The system's newly added partition information refers to the request information for creating a new partition within the system partition. This may include, but is not limited to, the partition's identifier, name, and disk space size. System recovery information refers to the request information for restoring the electronic device to its factory default state. This system recovery information may include recovery information for the system virtual partition; in other words, it allows the electronic device's storage to be restored to a state before any new partitions were created. The target system partition refers to the newly created partition within the system virtual partition. It's important to note that the system virtual partition is a virtual disk partition created within the system partition, without any allocated disk space. In other words, the target system partition occupies the space of the system virtual partition and is essentially a newly created partition within the system partition.

[0035] For example, the system can add partition information as "Create DISK Partitions". After receiving "Create DISK Partitions", the electronic device can automatically create a new DISK partition in the system virtual partition. Once the DISK partition is created, the electronic device responds to the user-inputted Recoververy command, retrieves system recovery information from a preset path, and restores the electronic device to its factory default state based on the system recovery information. It can be understood that by automatically creating a new DISK partition in the system virtual partition, i.e., occupying the space of the system virtual partition, the location of the partition storing system recovery information remains unchanged. Therefore, once the DISK partition is created, system recovery information can be effectively retrieved from the original partition location, and the electronic device can be restored to its factory default state based on the system recovery information.

[0036] The technical solution of this invention obtains information about newly added system partitions and creates a new target system partition in the system virtual partition based on the information about newly added system partitions. This allows for the creation of a new system partition while keeping the location of the partition storing system recovery information unchanged. As a result, once the target system partition is created, system recovery information can be effectively obtained from the original partition location, and the electronic device can be restored to its factory default state based on the system recovery information.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a system configuration method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment adds new technical features based on the above embodiments. Optionally, before obtaining the newly added system partition information, the method further includes: obtaining a system configuration file, wherein the system configuration file includes virtual partition information; and creating a system virtual partition in the memory based on the virtual partition information.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0040] S210. Obtain the system configuration file, wherein the system configuration file includes virtual partition information.

[0041] S220. Create a system virtual partition in the memory based on the virtual partition information.

[0042] S230, Obtain information on newly added system partitions.

[0043] S240. Based on the newly added partition information of the system, create a target system partition in the system virtual partition.

[0044] S250. After the target system partition is created, obtain system recovery information, and restore the electronic device to the factory default state based on the system recovery information, wherein the system recovery information includes recovery information of the system virtual partition.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the system configuration file refers to the configuration file required for system installation on an electronic device. For example, the system configuration file can be an HDI configuration file. The system configuration file may include, but is not limited to, virtual partition information, MSR partition, ESP partition, WinRE partition, and Reset partition. Virtual partition information refers to the virtual partition configuration information pre-configured in the system configuration file.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, the step of obtaining the system configuration file includes: receiving a system configuration file sent by a server, wherein the server is communicatively connected to the electronic device.

[0047] The server can be a server that stores information such as system configuration files.

[0048] Specifically, the server can transmit the system configuration file to one or more electronic devices via wired or wireless means, and each electronic device can receive the system configuration file simultaneously.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, the memory includes a system partition and a non-system partition, and the step of creating a system virtual partition in the memory based on the virtual partition information includes: creating a system virtual partition in the system partition based on the virtual partition information.

[0050] The system partition refers to the partition where the operating system is installed, such as the Windows operating system partition. Non-system partitions refer to partitions other than the system partition, such as MSR partitions, ESP partitions, WinRE partitions, and Reset partitions.

[0051] For example, the virtual partition information can be "rem == Virtual partition; rem == a. Create the Virtual partition; sel partition 3; create virtual partitions"; where Virtual partition represents a virtual partition, and partition 3 can be a Windows partition, that is, the system virtual partition can be created in the Windows partition.

[0052] Understandably, if users want to create a new partition in the Windows partition later, they can use the system virtual partition to create it. This way, the location of the partition storing system recovery information will not change. Thus, once the target system partition is created, the system recovery information can be effectively obtained, and the electronic device can be restored to its factory default state based on the system recovery information.

[0053] The technical solution of this invention obtains a system configuration file containing virtual partition information and creates a system virtual partition in the memory based on the virtual partition information. This provides security for subsequent addition of system partitions and acquisition of system recovery information, enabling electronic devices to effectively acquire system recovery information when adding system partitions, thereby improving system stability and security.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a system configuration device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0056] Partition information acquisition module 310 is used to acquire information about newly added partitions in the system;

[0057] The system partition creation module 320 is used to create a target system partition in the system virtual partition based on the newly added partition information of the system.

[0058] The factory state recovery module 330 is used to obtain system recovery information after the target system partition is created, and restore the electronic device to the factory preset state based on the system recovery information, wherein the system recovery information includes recovery information of the system virtual partition.

[0059] The technical solution of this invention obtains information about newly added system partitions and creates a new target system partition in the system virtual partition based on the information about newly added system partitions. This allows for the creation of a new system partition while keeping the location of the partition storing system recovery information unchanged. As a result, once the target system partition is created, system recovery information can be effectively obtained from the original partition location, and the electronic device can be restored to its factory default state based on the system recovery information.

[0060] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus further includes:

[0061] The configuration file acquisition module is used to acquire the system configuration file, wherein the system configuration file includes virtual partition information;

[0062] A virtual partition creation module is used to create a system virtual partition in the memory based on the virtual partition information.

[0063] In some optional implementations of this invention, the configuration file acquisition module is further configured to:

[0065] In some optional implementations of this invention, the memory further includes a system partition and a non-system partition, and the virtual partition creation module is further configured to:
