Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of duplicators, and more particularly to a duplicator capable of implementing computer synchronous control and a control method thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] With the rapid development of modern society, more and more people have started to use computers, the generation of computers is changing very fast, and the storage capacity of hard drives is becoming larger and larger. In the office, two computers need to share documents and data. In this case, people will send documents and data to another computer through U disk or software on the computer, but this method is not suitable for large memory files, and the operation is cumbersome and slow, so the duplicator was invented.

[0003] A conventional duplicator is also called a hard drive duplicator. Such a hard drive duplicator physically copies and duplicates all data on a hard drive, and then transfers the copied data to another hard drive. Since it is a physical copying method, it can complete a storage record that retains data, and can perform operations such as data restoration. At the same time, such a copying method can be used away from a computer and can automatically adjust the copying speed according to the user's needs. However, such a duplicator requires the user to operate two computers at the same time, which is very inconvenient, and it is very troublesome when the user needs to call up two computers and their materials and data at the same time.

However, such a duplicator only has a single type of interface, which cannot complete data transfer between different types of devices, and cannot realize the function of allowing users to access two computers and their documents and data simultaneously, resulting in a lack of functionality.

In addition, such a control method facilitates the calling of documents and data when it is necessary to use two computers at the same time to work, and realizes the use operation and mutual communication of various data between the two computers, integrating data matching, calling and mutual communication.
