Multi-hardware-system data processing device and information input method thereof

An information input method of multi-hardware-system applied to a data processing device comprising a first hardware system, a second hardware system, a switcher and a shared device, one of the first hardware system and the second hardware system is switched to be connected to the shared device via the switcher, when the first hardware system occupies the shared device via the switcher and the second hardware system is not connected to the shared device via the switcher, the method comprising:

• sending a message to the first hardware system when the second hardware system requires a user to input the information to be inputted;
• the first hardware system generating an input interface for the second hardware system according to the message received from the second hardware system, the input interface to be used by the user to enter the information to be inputted required by the second hardware system, displaying the input interface on a display screen of the shared device, and the user inputting the information to be inputted by using the input interface;
• the first hardware system obtaining the information inputted by the user in the generated input interface, and sending the inputted information to the second hardware system;
• and
• the second hardware system receiving and processing the inputted information, wherein a second communication module of the second hardware system sending the message to a first communication module of the first hardware system via a direct data transmission path between the second communication module and the first communication module.

A multi-hardware-system data processing system including a first hardware system, a second hardware system, a switcher and a shared device, one of the first hardware system and the second hardware, system is switched to be connected to the shared device via the switcher, comprising:

• the second hardware system including:
• a second control module for generating a message when the second hardware system requires a user to input the information to be inputted, and
• a second communication module for sending the message to the first hardware system;
• the first hardware system is connected to the shared device via the switcher and comprises:
• a first communication module for receiving the message, a first user interaction module for generating an input interface for the second hardware system according to the message received from the second hardware system, the input interface to be used by the user to enter the information to be inputted required by the second hardware system, obtaining the information inputted by the user in the input interface, and sending the inputted information to the second hardware system via the first communication module;
• wherein when the first hardware system occupies the shared device via the switcher exclusively and the second hardware system is not connected to the shared device via the switcher, the second hardware system receives the inputted information via the second communication module and the second control module processes the inputted information,
• wherein the second communication module sending the message to the first communication module via a direct data transmission path between the second communication module and the first communication module.
