An external device connection management system compatible with a variety of hardware interface specifications and hardware communication protocols

Abstract

The invention discloses an external device connection management system compatible with multiple hardware interface specifications and hardware communication protocols, comprising a device registration module and a device connection management module; Register, define aliases and generate device descriptors for each external device, associate aliases and device descriptors, where the device descriptor contains the communication protocol and access address of the external device; the device connection management module encapsulates a protocol library for based on The connection request of the external device obtains the device descriptor corresponding to the alias of the external device from the device registration module, and uses the encapsulated protocol library to create a connection session between the host computer and the external device according to the information obtained by parsing the device descriptor. By providing a unified management and control interface for external devices, the compatibility and applicability of the host computer to external devices are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of communication, in particular to an external device connection management system compatible with multiple hardware interface specifications and hardware communication protocols. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of computer and information technology, there are more and more types and functions of external devices that need to be connected to computers. The control of external devices and the collection of data all need to implement a software protocol on the hardware interface for transmission, so a variety of protocols and interfaces have gradually evolved. [0003] In industrial development and academic research, various instruments and equipment are often integrated into a complex network, which requires remote control and data acquisition of various instruments and equipment in the complex network through a computer. So far, in this environment, independent software drivers are used for each i...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the wide variety of hardware interfaces, device drivers developed based on various hardware interfaces emerge in endlessly, but when you actually use them, you will find that the management of driver interfaces for various instruments and equipment is chaotic.

When implementing software control, code redundancy is wasted, and it is difficult to achieve compatibility and applicability
