In actual use, the terminal system needs to be frequently switched according to business needs (such as switching between office systems and production systems, system version upgrade).

[0003] In the prior art, fat terminal system switching relies on traditional filling methods: each time the system is switched, the operator needs to log in to the terminal one by one to modify the BIOS startup item and set it to network startup mode, and then download the target system image from the server through the PXE protocol to complete the system installation and restart the terminal. This method has obvious defects: first, the operation is repetitive and tedious, and manual intervention is required for BIOS settings and PXE startup process each time the system is switched; second, the efficiency is low, and in large-scale deployment scenarios (such as hundreds of terminals), manual operation is time-consuming and prone to errors; third, the labor cost is high, and a large number of manpower is required to complete the one-by-one configuration of the terminal, which is difficult to adapt to the rapid system iteration demand.

[0004] The problem of repeated manual operation and low efficiency in system switching in the prior art is a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0008] Switching instruction issuing: the desktop cloud management platform synchronously issues a system switching instruction to multiple target terminals, and the system switching instruction includes the download address, system identifier and identity verification information of the target system;

[0009] Instruction execution: after the target terminal receives the system switching instruction, the pre-prepared Windows small system is woken up, and a bat script with preset logic is executed to automatically complete the downloading of the target operating system, set the terminal startup item, restart the terminal, and complete the entire switching process.

[0010] As preferred, the Windows small system is a light-weight customized version, which only integrates a network communication module, a file downloading module, a startup item configuration module, and a script running environment.

[0011] As preferred, the preset logic in the bat script includes startup item modification, system image verification, and restart triggering.

[0012] As preferred, after the Windows small system is started, the built-in bat script is run to connect to the server through the download address in the system switching instruction, automatically download the target system image, and verify the integrity of the image.

[0013] As preferred, the bat script automatically modifies the startup configuration item of the terminal according to the preset logic, and sets the storage partition where the target system is located as the priority startup.

[0014] As preferred, the bat script triggers the terminal to automatically restart, and the terminal starts the target system according to the modified startup item.

[0015] As preferred, the bat script contains a command parsing submodule, an image processing submodule, a startup configuration submodule, and a restart control submodule.

[0016] The command parsing submodule is used to extract the target system download address, verification parameters, and identity authentication information in the switching instruction.

[0017] The image processing submodule is used to realize the breakpoint resume downloading of the target system image based on the download address, and complete the integrity verification of the image through the verification parameters.

[0018] The startup configuration submodule realizes the adjustment of the startup item by calling the BIOS underlying interface or modifying the startup boot file.

[0019] The restart control submodule is used to trigger the terminal to forcibly restart or restart at a fixed time after the startup item configuration is completed.

[0020] In the second aspect, the present application provides an automatic switching of a fat terminal system, which comprises a desktop cloud management platform and a plurality of fat systems.

[0021] The desktop cloud fat terminal system switching automation method and the automatic switching of the fat terminal system have the following advantages:

[0022] 1. High degree of automation: Secondary and subsequent system switching does not require manual modification of BIOS or manual triggering of PXE startup. The terminal automatically completes the entire process after receiving the instruction, achieving one-key switching.

[0023] 2. Efficiency is greatly improved: In large-scale scenarios, hundreds of terminals can receive instructions synchronously and perform switching in parallel, avoiding the time-consuming manual operation one by one.

[0024] 3. Reduce labor costs: Only need to manually configure once during initial deployment, no need to continuously invest manpower afterwards, reducing the rate of operational errors.

[0025] 4. Strong compatibility: The pre-made Windows small system is lightweight and has wide compatibility, suitable for mainstream brand fat terminal hardware, without the need for separate customization for different terminal models. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] The present application provides a desktop cloud fat terminal system switching automation method, which includes pre-installation deployment, switching instruction issuing and instruction execution.

[0033] Step S100 pre-deployment: manually configure the terminal BIOS startup item as a network startup item, and the terminal downloads the initial system from the desktop cloud management platform through the PXE protocol and completes installation, while storing the pre-prepared Windows small system and functional bat script locally.

[0034] The Windows small system is a lightweight customized version, and only integrates a network communication module, a file download module, a startup item configuration module and a script running environment. The preset logic in the bat script includes startup item modification, system image verification and restart triggering.

[0035] The bat script includes an instruction parsing submodule, an image processing submodule, a startup configuration submodule and a restart control submodule. The instruction parsing submodule is used to extract the target system download address, verification parameters and identity authentication information in the switching instruction; the image processing submodule is used to realize breakpoint resume download of the target system image based on the download address, and complete image integrity verification through the verification parameters; the startup configuration submodule realizes startup item adjustment by calling a BIOS underlying interface or modifying a startup boot file; and the restart control submodule is used to trigger terminal forced restart or timed restart after completing startup item configuration.

[0036] Step S200 switching instruction issuing: the desktop cloud management platform synchronously issues a system switching instruction to a plurality of target terminals, and the system switching instruction includes a target system download address, a system identifier and identity authentication information.

[0037] In the subsequent automatic system switching process of the embodiment, the desktop cloud management platform sends a system switching instruction to a target fat terminal according to business requirements, and the instruction includes a target system download address, a system identifier and identity authentication information. The desktop cloud management platform can synchronously send the system switching instruction to a plurality of fat terminals, and support parallel automatic switching of batch terminals.

[0038] Step S300 instruction execution: after the target terminal receives the system switching instruction, the pre-prepared Windows small system is woken up, and the bat script of the preset logic is executed to automatically complete target operating system download, set the terminal startup item, restart the terminal and complete the entire switching process.

[0039] As the specific implementation of the instruction execution, the fat terminal automatically wakes up the pre-built Windows mini-system upon receiving the instruction, without requiring manual intervention in BIOS settings. After the Windows mini-system starts, it runs a built-in batch script, connects to the server via the download address in the instruction, automatically downloads the target system image, and verifies the image's integrity. The batch script automatically modifies the terminal's boot configuration items according to preset logic, setting the storage partition containing the target system as the first boot device. The batch script triggers an automatic terminal restart, and the terminal boots the target system according to the modified boot options, completing the entire switching process without any manual intervention.

[0040] The method in this embodiment achieves one-click automated switching of the desktop cloud fat terminal operating system by pre-installing a Windows mini-system and batch script in the desktop cloud fat terminal, thereby improving the automation and efficiency of system deployment and upgrade.
