[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the remote analysis system for a pluggable storage device provided in this application. The remote analysis system 1 for the pluggable storage device includes a first terminal 11, a second terminal 12, and a server 13. The first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are connected through the server 13, and the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are remote devices to each other. It is understood that both the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are communicatively connected to the server 13, and the server 13 can relay data transmission between the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the remote analysis method for a pluggable storage device provided in this application. The remote analysis method is applied to a first terminal 11 and includes the following steps.

[0031] In step S101, in response to the insertion operation of at least one pluggable storage device, the corresponding storage device driver is installed, and the inserted pluggable storage device is added to the shared device list displayed to the second terminal.

[0032] In response to the insertion of at least one pluggable storage device 14, the first terminal 11 installs a corresponding storage device driver for each of the at least one pluggable storage device 14. The first terminal 11 adds the inserted pluggable storage device 14 to a shared device list, which is used to display the currently inserted pluggable storage device 14 to the second terminal 12. The first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are connected via a server 13, and are remote devices to each other. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the first terminal 11 and the shared device list. The pluggable storage devices 14 include, but are not limited to, USB devices, Secure Digital Cards (SD cards), Solid State Drives (SSDs), and Portable Solid State Drives (PSSDs). When the pluggable storage device 14 is a USB device, the first terminal 11 can be an electronic device with USB HOST functionality, such as a computer or embedded device.

[0033] In some embodiments, after the first terminal 11 installs the storage device driver for each pluggable storage device 14, it mounts the storage device driver.

[0034] In step S102, in response to receiving a connection request, the corresponding storage device driver for the target storage device corresponding to the connection request is disconnected, and the connection feedback is returned to the second terminal so that the second terminal can create a virtual target storage device driver.

[0035] The first terminal 11 receives a connection request, which is a request from the second terminal 12 to select a target storage device based on the shared device list and apply to establish a connection with the target storage device. It is understood that the second terminal 12 can filter the pluggable storage device 14 through the shared device list, and the selected pluggable storage device 14 is the target storage device.

[0036] In response to receiving a connection request, the first terminal 11 disconnects the corresponding storage device driver for the target storage device and returns the connection feedback for the target storage device to the second terminal 12, so that the second terminal 12 can create a virtual target storage device driver corresponding to the target storage device. The connection feedback includes whether the target storage device's storage device driver has been disconnected. If the target storage device's storage device driver has been disconnected, it means that the second terminal 12 can exclusively access the target storage device; if the target storage device's storage device driver is still mounted on the first terminal 11, it means that the second terminal 12 does not have access.

[0037] Step S103: In response to receiving an access request, read the corresponding data from the target storage device based on the access request, and return the read data to the second terminal.

[0038] First terminal 11 receives an access request, which is generated by second terminal 12 based on operations on the virtual target storage device driver. In response to receiving the access request, first terminal 11 reads the corresponding data from the target storage device based on the access request and returns the read data to second terminal 12.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first terminal 11 reading the corresponding data of the target storage device based on the access request can be as follows: the first terminal 11 forwards the access request to the target storage device, and the target storage device sends the corresponding data back to the first terminal 11 based on the access request.

[0040] This application installs a corresponding storage device driver for each pluggable storage device 14 in a first terminal 11 where at least one pluggable storage device 14 is inserted, and adds the inserted pluggable storage device 14 to a shared device list. This shared device list is displayed to a second terminal 12, allowing the second terminal 12 to select the target storage device for which it wishes to connect and generate a connection request. Based on the connection request, the first terminal 11 disconnects the storage device driver of the target storage device and sends a connection feedback to the second terminal 12, enabling the second terminal 12 to create a virtual target storage device driver corresponding to the target storage device and generate an access request based on operations on the virtual target storage device driver. Based on the access request, the first terminal 11 reads the corresponding data from the target storage device and sends the data to the second terminal 12. Through this method, the first terminal 11 can remotely share the pluggable storage device 14 with the second terminal 12, allowing the second terminal 12 to obtain and analyze the corresponding data from the pluggable storage device 14, thereby troubleshooting for potential faults in the pluggable storage device 14 and achieving remote analysis of the pluggable storage device 14, thus improving analysis and maintenance efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments, step S101, which adds the inserted pluggable storage device to the shared device list displayed to the second terminal, includes: sending a new storage device registration request to the server so that the server adds the information of the newly inserted pluggable storage device to the shared device list and displays it to the second terminal.

[0042] The first terminal 11 obtains information about the newly inserted pluggable storage device 14 and sends a new storage device registration application to the server 13, so that the server 13 adds the corresponding information to the shared device list and displays the shared device list to the second terminal 12. The new storage device registration application includes information about the newly inserted pluggable storage device 14.

[0043] In some embodiments, the remote analysis method further includes: sending a registration request to the server; and receiving a server identification code returned by the server based on the registration request.

[0044] Upon startup, the first terminal 11 sends a registration request to the server 13. The server 13 generates a server identification code corresponding to the first terminal 11 based on the registration request and sends the server identification code to the first terminal 11. Each server identification code corresponds one-to-one with the first terminal 11. The first terminal 11 receives the returned server identification code. The user of the first terminal 11 can send the server identification code to the second terminal 12 via email, message, or other means, enabling the second terminal 12 to establish a connection with the first terminal 11 through the server 13 based on the server identification code. For example, the second terminal 12 sends the server identification code to the server 13, and the server 13 matches the second terminal 12 with the corresponding first terminal 11 based on the server identification code, thus establishing a connection between the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12. The connection established between the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 can be a virtual network connection.

[0045] In some embodiments, the remote analysis method further includes: in response to detecting a sharing end state, releasing control of the target storage device and attempting to reinstall the storage device driver corresponding to the target storage device.

[0046] During data transmission between the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 via the server 13, the first terminal 11 can detect whether a sharing end state exists. Sharing end states include unplugging the target storage device, receiving a sharing stop command, and / or a connection disconnect command. Unplugging the target storage device means the target storage device is removed from the first terminal 11; the sharing stop command can be a command generated on the first terminal 11 based on user actions; the connection disconnect command can be generated by the second terminal 12 and sent to the server 13, which then sends it to the first terminal 11.

[0047] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the receipt of a sharing abort command and / or a connection disconnect command, the first terminal 11 may remount the storage device driver of the target storage device to release control over the target storage device.

[0048] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the removal of the target storage device, the first terminal 11 may delete the storage device driver corresponding to the target storage device and attempt to reinstall the storage device driver corresponding to the target storage device.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the remote analysis method for a pluggable storage device provided in this application. The remote analysis method is applied to a second terminal 12 and includes the following steps.

[0050] Step S201: Receive the list of shared devices.

[0051] The second terminal 12 receives the shared device list. The shared device list includes information about at least one pluggable storage device 14 inserted into the first terminal 11. The first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are connected via a server 13, and are remote devices to each other. The information of the pluggable storage device 14 includes, but is not limited to, product information, manufacturer information, device description, vendor ID (VID) / product ID (PID), etc. To distinguish pluggable storage devices 14 that may have the same information, the information of the pluggable storage device 14 may also include the location information of the pluggable storage device 14, such as which interface the pluggable storage device 14 is inserted into on the first terminal 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, after the second terminal 12 establishes a connection with the first terminal 11 through the server 13, the server 13 sends the list of sharing devices corresponding to the first terminal 11 to the second terminal 12. Alternatively, the second terminal 12 sends a retrieval command to the server 13, and the server 13 sends the list of sharing devices corresponding to the first terminal 11 to the second terminal 12 based on the retrieval command.

[0053] Step S202: Select the target storage device based on the shared device list and generate a connection request to establish a connection with the target storage device. Send the connection request to the first terminal and create a virtual target storage device driver based on the returned connection feedback.

[0054] The second terminal 12 can learn about the pluggable storage devices 14 on the first terminal 11 through the shared device list. Based on the shared device list, the second terminal 12 selects at least one pluggable storage device 14 as the target storage device, generates a connection request to establish a connection with the target storage device, and sends the connection request to the first terminal 11 through the server 13. The connection request includes information about the target storage device.

[0055] The second terminal 12 receives the returned connection feedback and obtains the disconnected target storage device from the connection feedback. Based on the information of the disconnected target storage device, it creates a virtual target storage device driver. The virtual target storage device driver is a virtual driver corresponding to the target storage device. The virtual target storage device driver is automatically installed by the second terminal 12, eliminating the need to handle the underlying communication protocol and improving creation efficiency.

[0056] Step S203: Generate an access request based on the operation of the virtual target storage device driver, send the access request to the first terminal, and receive the corresponding data read by the first terminal from the target storage device based on the access request.

[0057] The user of the second terminal 12 can operate the virtual target storage device driver. Based on the operation of the virtual target storage device driver, the second terminal 12 generates an access request and sends the access request to the first terminal 11 via the server 13. Each access request corresponds one-to-one with a target storage device and includes at least one URB (USB request block). The second terminal 12 receives the corresponding data, which is then read from the target storage device by the first terminal 11 based on the access request.

[0058] This application obtains information about the pluggable storage device 14 inserted on the first terminal 11 by sharing a device list. Based on the shared device list, a target storage device to be connected to can be selected to generate a connection request. The second terminal 12 sends the connection request to the first terminal 11, obtains the connection feedback from the target storage device, and creates a target storage device driver based on the connection feedback. When the user of the second terminal 12 operates the virtual target storage device driver, the second terminal 12 generates an access request and sends it to the first terminal 11 to remotely access the pluggable storage device 14 on the first terminal 11 and obtain the corresponding data from the target storage device. The second terminal 12 can analyze the target storage device based on the corresponding data to troubleshoot whether the target storage device has any faults, thereby realizing remote analysis of the pluggable storage device 14 and improving analysis and maintenance efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, the remote analysis method further includes: sending the corresponding data back to the corresponding virtual target storage driver of the corresponding target storage device.

[0060] The second terminal 12 sends the received data back to the virtual target storage driver corresponding to the target storage device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the remote analysis method further includes: deleting the corresponding virtual target storage driver for the target storage device in response to detecting a sharing end state.

[0062] During data transmission between the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 via the server 13, the second terminal 12 can detect whether a sharing termination state exists. Sharing termination states include unplugging the target storage device, receiving a sharing abort command, and / or a connection disconnect command. Unplugging the target storage device means the target storage device is removed from the first terminal 11, and the first terminal 11 can notify the second terminal 12 via connection feedback. The sharing abort command can be generated by the first terminal 11 and sent to the server 13, which then sends it to the second terminal 12. The connection disconnect command can be generated by the second terminal 12 based on a failed access request, or it can be generated by the second terminal 12 based on user actions.

[0063] In response to detecting the end-of-share status, the second terminal 12 deletes the corresponding virtual target storage driver for the target storage device. Unless the virtual target storage driver for the target storage device is recreated, the second terminal 12 can no longer remotely access the target storage device.

[0064] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the remote analysis method for a pluggable storage device provided in this application. The remote analysis method is applied to server 13 and includes the following steps.

[0065] Step S301: Send the list of shared devices to the second terminal.

[0066] Server 13 sends a list of shared devices to the second terminal 12. The list of shared devices includes information on at least one pluggable storage device 14 inserted on the first terminal 11. The first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are connected through server 13, and the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12 are remote devices to each other.

[0067] In some embodiments, in response to a new storage device registration request sent by the first terminal 11, the server 13 adds the corresponding information to the shared device list to update the shared device list.

[0068] Step S302: Receive the connection request sent by the second terminal and send it to the first terminal, and send the connection feedback returned by the first terminal to the second terminal, so that the second terminal can create a virtual target storage device driver based on the connection feedback.

[0069] Server 13 receives a connection request from second terminal 12 and forwards the request to first terminal 11. The connection request is a request from second terminal 12 to select a target storage device based on the shared device list and to establish a connection with the target storage device.

[0070] Server 13 receives connection feedback returned by first terminal 11 and sends the connection feedback to second terminal 12, so that second terminal 12 creates a virtual target storage device driver based on the connection feedback.

[0071] Step S303: Receive the access request sent by the second terminal and send it to the first terminal, and send the corresponding data returned by the first terminal to the second terminal.

[0072] Server 13 receives an access request from second terminal 12 and forwards the access request to first terminal 11. The access request is generated by second terminal 12 based on its operation of the virtual target storage device driver.

[0073] Server 13 receives the corresponding data returned by first terminal 11 and sends the corresponding data to second terminal 12. The corresponding data is obtained by first terminal 11 from the target storage device based on the access request.

[0074] This application establishes a network connection between a first terminal 11 and a second terminal 12 through a server 13. The server 13 maintains the pluggable storage device 14 of the first terminal 11 in a shared device list. When the second terminal 12 establishes a connection with the first terminal 11 through the server 13, the server 13 can send the corresponding shared device list to the second terminal 12. The server 13 relays various requests and data between the first terminal 11 and the second terminal 12, enabling remote access between them.

[0075] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 A timing diagram illustrating an embodiment of the remote analysis method for a pluggable storage device provided in this application.

[0076] The first terminal 11 is used to install the corresponding storage device driver in response to the insertion operation of at least one pluggable storage device 14, and add the inserted pluggable storage device 14 to the shared device list displayed to the second terminal 12.

[0077] Server 13 is used to send a list of shared devices to the second terminal 12.

[0078] The second terminal 12 is used to select the target storage device based on the shared device list and generate a connection request to establish a connection with the target storage device, and then send the connection request to the server 13.

[0079] Server 13 is used to send connection requests to the first terminal 11.

[0080] The first terminal 11 is used to disconnect the corresponding storage device driver of the target storage device corresponding to the connection request, and return the connection feedback to the server 13.

[0081] Server 13 is used to send connection feedback to the second terminal 12.

[0082] The second terminal 12 is used to create a virtual target storage device driver based on connection feedback, generate an access request based on the operation of the virtual target storage device driver, and send the access request to the server 13. The virtual target storage device driver is a virtual driver corresponding to the target storage device.

[0083] Server 13 is used to send access requests to the first terminal 11.

[0084] The first terminal 11 is used to read the corresponding data from the target storage device based on the access request and return the read data to the server 13.

[0085] Server 13 is used to send corresponding data to the second terminal 12.

[0086] The specific interaction process of the first terminal 11, the second terminal 12 and the server 13 in the remote analysis system 1 is basically the same as the interaction process of the first terminal 11, the second terminal 12 and the server 13 in the remote analysis method of any of the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0087] In some embodiments, the second terminal 12 generates an access request based on operations on the virtual target storage device driver and sends the access request to the server 13. The server 13 sends the access request to the first terminal 11. The first terminal 11 reads the corresponding data from the target storage device based on the access request and returns the read data to the server 13.
