Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for a host end fixedly naming a common serial port device that connects a common serial port device to a host end and calls a driver program installed in the host end to carry out a naming process and store a name, and the host end writes the name into a memory of the common serial port device, such that after the common serial port device is connected to the host end, the common serial port device with the name is connected to the host or listed by the driver program. The naming method not only complies with the current technological procedure and user's operating habits, but also achieves the easy-to-install and convenient-to-use effects.
Claims18
A method for a host end fixedly naming a common serial port device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) coupling a common serial port device to a host end;
- (b) calling a driver program in the host end for a user to carry out a naming and save a name;
- (c) writing the name into a memory of the common serial port device from the host end;
- and
- (d) coupling the host end to the name of the common serial port device.
A method for a host end fixedly naming a common serial port device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) coupling a common serial port device to a host end;
- (b) issuing an inquiry command by a driver program in a host end to check whether or not a previously name record exists in the common serial port device;
- (c) responding the record to the host end, if the record exists, and completing a naming process according to the record by the host end;
- if the record does not exist, the host end completes a naming process according to an original naming rule (a serial number naming method);
- (d) if a user does not need a user-defined name, then the serial number name will be a default name for later naming, and the name will be recorded into a memory of the common serial port device;
- (e) if a user changes the name of the common serial port device, then the changed name will be a default name for later naming, and the name will be recorded in the memory of the common serial port device.
