Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a driver search matching installation method, and in particular to a driver search matching installation method and system under a Linux system. Background Art

[0002] At present, the development of domestically-produced, independent and controllable trusted OS is booming, the application ecological environment is gradually maturing, and the rich desktop applications greatly meet customers' needs for office and entertainment.

[0003] At present, some device management software for Linux desktop operating systems at home and abroad can only identify and display some hardware information, but cannot automatically search for available drivers and install drivers based on the corresponding device information. As a result, users still need to install hardware drivers themselves, making management difficult.

[0004] The main disadvantages of the prior art are as follows: Limited hardware information display: Existing device management software is mainly limited to displaying basic hardware information, and often cannot provide detailed information for complex device combinations or advanced hardware functions. This limits users' comprehensive understanding of the system hardware status and may result in the inability to discover and solve potential hardware problems in a timely manner.

[0005] Lack of automated driver management: These software usually cannot intelligently search, identify and install the latest drivers automatically based on device information. Users still need to manually find and install the appropriate drivers, which increases the complexity and technical threshold of system configuration. If an automated driver management system is introduced, the user experience can be significantly improved and hardware compatibility issues can be reduced.

[0006] Users need to install drivers manually: Current device management software does not provide a convenient user interface that enables users to easily install, update, and manage hardware drivers. Users are forced to rely on terminal commands or manually download installation files, which is a tedious task for non-technical professionals.

[0007] Lack of intelligent hardware optimization: Most of the current device management software fails to provide intelligent hardware optimization functions, and cannot automatically adjust system settings according to hardware performance and configuration to provide the best performance and stability. This means that users miss the opportunity to improve system performance and cannot maximize the use of hardware resources.

[0008] Compatibility issues: Some device management software may have compatibility issues with specific hardware or driver versions, resulting in the inability to correctly identify, manage or update hardware in some cases. This instability may affect the reliability and stability of the system.

[0009] Existing patents such as CN115904400 A mention a driver matching method, and CN106126256A mentions a driver management method. However, for the driver management under the Kylin desktop operating system, the implementation of the adapter driver does not provide a complete solution. Neither of these two patents mentions the detailed interaction process and data feedback mechanism of the driver server. According to common knowledge in this field, if the complexity of the driver is not taken into account, the stability of the driver cannot be guaranteed only by improving the file system and information processing. Summary of the invention

[0010] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a driver search, matching and installation method and system under Linux system, which can install peripheral drivers under Linux, is simple and convenient to use, reduces users' repeated operations, improves work efficiency and increases system friendliness.

If it has been installed, no processing is performed; if it has not been installed, install it and perform different types of operations according to different types of drivers. Step S400: After the installation is completed, the information collected during the installation process is recorded and the information is sent to the data collection module at a regular interval; Step S500: If it is necessary to restart the system or display peripheral information after the installation is completed, prompt the user to perform the corresponding operation; Step S600: Analyze the usage of hardware peripherals according to the information obtained by the data collection module, and timely update the driver information in the driver server according to the driver usage.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: By automatically detecting connected hardware peripherals, intelligently identifying manufacturer model information, and realizing intelligent search and matching of peripheral drivers in the source server, the system simplifies the driver installation process and overcomes the cumbersome problem of peripheral driver installation in the Linux desktop operating system. In addition, in the present invention, the accuracy of driver matching is improved through comprehensive data collection and statistics, and by optimizing source server data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] This embodiment provides a driver search, matching and installation system under a Linux system, including a hardware peripheral automatic detection module, a manufacturer model information identification module, a driver package search and matching module, a data collection module and a data analysis module.

[0021] Among them, the hardware peripheral automatic detection module is used to detect the connected hardware peripherals. If it is an existing hardware peripheral, it will be automatically skipped. If it is a newly inserted hardware peripheral, the hardware peripheral automatic detection module automatically obtains the new hardware peripheral insertion information and sends the information to the manufacturer model information identification module. It can be seen that this embodiment uses the hardware peripheral automatic detection module to realize the intelligent identification of peripherals under the Linux desktop operating system, which makes it unnecessary for users to manually search and confirm the device, greatly simplifying the preliminary preparation steps for driver installation.

[0022] The manufacturer model information identification module is electrically connected to the hardware peripheral automatic detection module. When the manufacturer model information identification module receives the new hardware peripheral insertion information sent by the hardware peripheral automatic detection module, the manufacturer model information identification module will automatically identify the manufacturer model information of the hardware peripheral and send the manufacturer model information to the driver package search and matching module. The system can more accurately locate the required driver through the manufacturer model information identification module, thereby providing users with a more accurate and convenient driver installation experience.

[0023] The driver package search and matching module automatically searches and obtains the corresponding driver installation package according to the manufacturer model information, and the obtained driver installation package is automatically installed. In this embodiment, the driver package search and matching module first searches for the corresponding driver installation package in the local computer. When the corresponding driver installation package is not found in the local computer, it searches for the driver installation package in the online by querying the operator. In this way, the driver package search and matching module avoids the tedious process of manual search and downloading by the user, thereby improving the overall convenience of use.

[0024] In this embodiment, the data collection module is used to collect data of the driver installation package during the installation process. The data collection module sends the relevant data of the installation failure to the data analysis module, analyzes the cause of the installation failure through the data analysis module, and feeds back to the operator. At the same time, the data analysis module analyzes the use of hardware peripherals and updates the driver system of the hardware peripherals in a timely manner. In this way, the data collection module conducts comprehensive data collection and statistics on the driver installation process, and the data analysis module summarizes the reasons for successful and failed installations. The system can continuously optimize the data in the source server, improve the accuracy and success rate of driver matching, and provide users with more reliable driver support.
