The features and embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, which are sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical means to which the present invention solves the technical problems, and The achievable effects of the present invention.

The invention can provide a software operating environment on the server, and the software running on the server executes the corresponding function according to the operation instruction transmitted by the client, and transmits the execution result back to the client display.

As shown in the "figure 1", the operating system in the server stores the registration file and the target file required for the software to be stored in the registration buffer 112 and the file buffer 116 of the storage medium of the server. When the software is executed, the registration file and the target file are respectively mapped into the registry system 120 and the file system 130, so that other programs running in the server or the operating system can access the registration materials in the registration file, or Access the target file.

The target file proposed by the present invention may be a software main program file, a dynamic link library (DLL), a software system configuration file or a system data file, a user data file established by the software, a temporary archive, Or any combination of the above files, but not limited to the above, any file that needs to be written or read during the execution of the software can be the target file proposed by the present invention.

In general, the registration buffer 112 and the archive buffer 116 are generally included in the cloud cache 110, but the invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the registration buffer 112 and the file buffer 116 are generally defined in non-system storage partitions, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The system operation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the system architecture diagram of the access mapping file proposed by the present invention in "2A" and "2B". As shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, the system of the present invention includes a cache area definition module 210, a storage module 220, a data mapping module 230, a registration access module 250, and a file access module. 260.

The cache area definition module 210 is responsible for defining the registration buffer area 112 and the file buffer area 116 in the storage medium 400 of the server (not shown), that is, defining the storage areas that the registration buffer area 112 and the file buffer area 116 can use. The scope of the address.

The storage module 220 is responsible for separating the registration file of the software and the target file when the software is installed in the server, so as to store the registration file of the software separately from the target file of the software, wherein the registration file is stored in the storage module 220. The registration area defined by the cache area definition module 210 is stored in the file cache area 116 defined by the cache area definition module 210 by the storage module 220.

In the present invention, there may be only one registration buffer 112 and one file buffer 116 in the storage medium 400, and there may be a plurality of registration buffers and file buffers of the same number. If there is only one registration buffer 112 and one file buffer 116 in the storage medium 400, the registered files/target files of different softwares are stored in the same registration buffer 112/file buffer 116 by the storage module 220. The storage medium 400 includes a plurality of registration buffers and a plurality of file caches. In each of the registration buffers/each file cache area, only the storage module 220 stores the registration file/target file of the software. And the registration file/target file of each software is only stored by the storage module 220 in a registration buffer/file buffer.

The data mapping module 230 is responsible for mapping the registration files in the registration buffer 112 to the registry system 120 of the server operating system (not shown) when the software is executed, so as to generate corresponding differences in the registry system 120. The virtual registration data corresponding to the registration data in each registration file, that is, the registration data does not actually exist in the registry system 120, but exists in the registration buffer 112. Therefore, the virtual registration data does not occupy the servo. The memory space of the device, the registration file will not occupy the memory space of the server. In general, the data mapping module 230 maps the storage address of the registration file in the storage medium 400 to the registry system 120, but the data mapping module 230 maps the registration file to the registry system 120. Limited to the above.

The data mapping module 230 also maps each target file in the file buffer 116 to the file system 130 of the server operating system when the software is executed, so as to generate a corresponding file directory in the file system 130. The virtual archive data corresponding to each target file, that is, the target file does not actually exist in the specific file directory generated by the mapping, but is stored in the file buffer 116. In general, the data mapping module 230 maps the storage addresses of the respective target files in the storage medium 400 to the file system 130. However, the data mapping module 230 does not map the target files to the file system 130. The above is limited.

The registration access module 250 is responsible for when the virtual registration data in the registry system 120 is accessed by other programs running in the server or server operating system, that is, the virtual registration data is written, read or deleted. When the access operation is performed, the registration access module 250 performs an access operation according to the virtual registration data, and the registration file stored in the registration buffer 112 is the same as the registration data corresponding to the accessed virtual registration data. The access operation, for example, when the virtual registration data is read/added/modified/deleted, the registration data corresponding to the virtual registration data is read/added/modified/deleted by the registration access module 250.

In some embodiments, when the virtual registration data in the registry system 120 is accessed, the registry system 120 calls the registration access module 250, as shown in FIG. 2A. The module 25 will access the registration data corresponding to the accessed virtual registration data in the registration file according to the storage address of the registration file of the registration data corresponding to the virtual registration data, instead of accessing the registration data. Virtual registration material in registry system 120.

In another embodiment, the registration access module 250 can also hook up the registry system 120 instead of running in the registry system 120. At this time, the registration access module 250 will listen to the pair. The access operation performed by the registry system 120, as shown in "Block 2B", when the access operation to the registry system 120 is to access the virtual registration data, the registration access module 250 intercepts the virtual registration. The data access operation is performed, and according to the intercepted access operation, the registration buffer 112 accesses the registration data corresponding to the accessed virtual registration data in the registration file.

The file access module 260 is responsible for the access operation when the virtual file data in the file system 130 is accessed by other programs running in the server or the operating system, that is, the virtual file data is written, read or deleted. At this time, the file access module 260 performs an access operation according to the virtual file data, and goes to the file buffer area 116 to perform the same access operation on the target file corresponding to the accessed virtual file data.

In some embodiments, when the virtual file data in the file system 130 is accessed, the file system 130 calls the file access module 260, as shown in "Figure 2A". At this time, the file access mode The group 260 accesses the target file corresponding to the accessed virtual file data to the file cache area 116 according to the storage address of the target file corresponding to the virtual file data, instead of being read by the file directory where the virtual file data is located. Access to virtual archives.

In another embodiment, the file access module 260 can also be hooked to the file system 130 instead of the file system 130. At this time, the file access module 260 monitors the file system 130. The access operation, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the access operation to the file system 130 is to access the virtual file data, the file access module 260 intercepts the access operation to the virtual file data. And according to the intercepted access operation, the file cache area 116 is accessed to access the target file corresponding to the accessed virtual file data.

In addition, the present invention may further include an additional path setting module 240. The path setting module 240 is responsible for setting the storage directory of the registration buffer 112 and the file buffer 116 in the file system 130. Thus, when the storage directory of the registration buffer 112 and the file buffer 116 needs to be changed, or when the system of the present invention is reinstalled, the storage module 220 can register according to the storage directory set by the path setting module 240. The file and target files are stored in the correct directory, and the registration access module 250/file access module 260 can also access the registration file/target file in the correct directory, so that the system of the present invention can access the previously established file. Register file/target file.

Next, an operational system and method of the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3A, a flowchart of a method for accessing a split mapping file according to the present invention is provided. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the present invention is applied by the interpretation software on the server, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Before applying the interpretation software of the present invention to the server, the cache area definition module 210 in the definition lookup software may first define the registration buffer 112 and the file buffer 116 in the storage medium 400 (step 310). In this embodiment, that is, the registration buffer area 112 and the file buffer area 116 are defined in the storage medium 400, and the storage module 220 can access the storage address range.

After the cache area definition module 210 in the definition lookup software defines the registration buffer area 112 and the file cache area 116 in the storage medium 400 (step 310), the storage module 220 in the definition lookup software can be installed in the definition lookup software. In the server, the registration file and the target file that the definition search software may use during execution are respectively stored in the registration buffer 112 and the file buffer 116 (step 330).

If the path definition module 240 is included in the definition lookup software in this embodiment, the cache area definition module 210 in the definition lookup software defines the registration buffer area 112 and the file buffer area 116 in the storage medium 400 (step 310). Afterwards, the path setting module 240 may first provide a server or a server operating system administrator to input the registration buffer 112 and the file cache area 116 in the file system 130, and register the buffer area 112 and the file buffer area. 116 is set as the storage directory input by the administrator (step 320), and then the storage module 220 in the definition search software stores the registration file and the target file required for the execution of the definition search software to the registration buffer 112 respectively. And file cache area 116 (step 330). In this way, applying the definition of the present invention to find the software can be normally operated, and the provision of the definition lookup service is started.

When the user operates the client to connect to the server to use the definition lookup service, the definition lookup software is executed by the server's operating system. Thus, the data mapping module 230 in the definition lookup software can map the registration data in the registration file. The registry system 120 of the operating system of the server causes the registry system 120 to generate virtual registration data corresponding to the registration data, and maps the target file to the file system 130 of the operating system of the server, so that the file system 130 is A virtual profile corresponding to the target profile is generated (step 350). In this embodiment, if the registration file contains the registration data of "HKEY_.../SOFTWARE/INV/.../DEMO=0", the file name of the target file is "InvDemo", and the data mapping module 230 is assumed to be The registration data "HKEY_.../SOFTWARE/INV/.../DEMO=0" is mapped to the registry system 120 to generate corresponding virtual registration data, and the target file "InvDemo" is mapped to the file system 130. In the file directory of "D:\SW/Data/Inv/", the corresponding virtual file data is generated.

After that, in the process of using the definition search service by the user, if there are other programs running on the server or the server operating system, the registration data of the interpretation software is to be accessed, that is, in the registry system 120 of the operating system. When the virtual registration data is accessed, the registration access module 250 can go to the registration buffer 112 to access the registration data corresponding to the accessed virtual registration data in the registration file (step 360). Assuming that the invention to which the definition finding software of the present embodiment is applied is the system architecture shown in FIG. 2A, when the virtual registration data in the registry system 120 is accessed, the registry system 120 can call the definition search software. In the registration access module 250, the registration access module 250, after being evoked, can obtain the storage address of the registration file containing the corresponding registration data according to the registration data corresponding to the accessed virtual registration data, and According to the storage address of the obtained registration file, to the registration buffer 112, the registration data "HKEY_.../SOFTWARE/INV/.../DEMO=0" in the registration file is accessed and virtualized. The registration data has the same access operation. Thus, after the registration access module 250 completes the access to the registration data, the result of the access can be returned to the registry system 120, so that the registry system 120 provides the access result to the registry system 120. Other programs that access virtual registration materials.

If the other program running in the server or server operating system wants to access the target file required for the execution of the definition software, that is, the virtual file data in the file system 130 is accessed, the file system 130 can call. The file access module 260 in the definition software, the file access module 260 can access and access the virtual file according to the storage address of the target file corresponding to the accessed virtual file data. The target file "InvDemo" corresponding to the file data (step 380), so that after the file access module 260 completes the access of the target file, the target file can be returned to the file system 130, so that the file system 130 will access the result. Other programs provided for accessing virtual archives.

If the invention to which the definition software of the present embodiment is applied is the system architecture shown in FIG. 2B, the registration access module 250/file access module 260 can be executed when the interpretation software is started. The registry system 120/archive system 130 of the server's operating system continuously listens for access to the registry system 120/file system 130 by other programs running on the server or server operating system. When there are other programs to access the virtual registration data in the registry system 120, the registration access module 250 can intercept the access operation of the virtual registration data by other programs as shown in the flow of "FIG. 3B" (step 361). And performing the same access operation as the intercepted access operation on the registration data corresponding to the accessed virtual registration data in the registration file (step 365). When there are other programs to access the virtual file data in the file system 130, the file access module 260 can intercept the access operation of the virtual file data by other programs (step 381), and access the virtual file data. The corresponding target file performs the same access operation as the intercepted access operation (step 385).

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the present invention can install and run the software to which the present invention is applied without modifying the registry system of the server and without changing the directory structure of the file system, thereby reducing the software update and increase and decrease of the servo. The impact of the operating system of the device, at the same time, since the registration file and the target file of the software to which the present invention is applied are actually stored in the registration buffer area and the file buffer area, the server operating system will not be caused when reinstalling or updating. Damage to the registry and files of the software to which the present invention is applied. Therefore, after the operating system is reinstalled or updated, there is no need to reinstall the software, and only the storage directory where the registration buffer and the file cache are located is re-designated. That is, you can reply to the normal use of the software.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that when the software is installed, the registration file and the target file of the storage software are separated into the registration buffer area and the file buffer area, and when the software is executed, the registration file is respectively registered. Mapping with the target file to the registry system and the file system, when the virtual registration data/virtual file data in the registry system/file system is accessed, accessing the registration file/target file to the registration buffer/file buffer area The technical means can solve the problem that the registration data and the file of the operating system and the software in the prior art may mutually influence each other to be unable to operate normally, thereby achieving the technical effect of keeping the operating system stable and the software portable.

Furthermore, the method for accessing the mapping file of the present invention can be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of hardware and software, or can be implemented in a centralized manner in a computer system or distributed in a plurality of interconnected computers with different components. The decentralized way of the system is implemented.
