Abstract
Provided is a system and method for providing a remote device driver. The system includes a first device configured to request device information from a terminal connected through a universal serial bus (USB) interface and transmit device information provided from the terminal in response to the request via a network, and a second device connected with the first device via the network and configured to load a driver for driving the terminal on the basis of the device information on the mobile terminal received from the first device. Accordingly, it is possible to drive and control a mobile terminal at a remote location without installing a function driver directly on a computer that is physically connected with the mobile terminal.
Claims6
A system, comprising:
- a first device configured to request device information from a terminal connected through a universal serial bus (USB) interface, and transmit device information provided from the terminal in response to the request via a network;
- and
- a second device connected with the first device via the network, and configured to install a driver for driving the terminal on the basis of the device information on the terminal received from the first device,
- wherein a USB filter driver installed on the first device is configured to check whether or not the terminal is connected, and when the terminal is connected, establish a communication channel with the terminal, request the device information from the terminal, and receive the device information from the terminal, and
- wherein a virtual hub driver installed on the second device is configured to include a logical communication channel established to exchange data with the USB filter driver, and
- wherein a function driver installed on the second device is configured to perform communication limited to the terminal and manage communication of the virtual hub driver.
A method, comprising:
- when a terminal is connected to a first device through universal serial bus (USB),
- requesting, by a USB filter driver installed on the first device, device information from the terminal;
- transmitting, by the USB filter driver installed on the first device, device information received from the terminal to a second device;
- and
- installing, on the second device, a function driver of the terminal on the basis of the device information received from the USB filter driver installed on the first device,
- wherein the second device includes an installed virtual hub driver whose logical communication channel with the USB filter driver is established to exchange data with the USB filter driver, and
- wherein the function driver installed on the second device is configured to perform communication limited to the terminal and manage communication of the installed virtual hub driver.
