Abstract: A communication process by connecting a server end in series with a system under verification (SUV) in a network. The process initializes a communication port connected to server end and SUV and associated parameters through a computer in server end and SUV. Then creates a required thread and an associated interrupt program in server end and SUV respectively. When data has been received, the received data package is stored in an embedded buffer in server end or SUV until a complete data package is stored in the buffer. Next, data is transmitted through a predetermined data transmission module. By continuing this process, it is possible to transmit data by connecting server end in series with SUV through the connected communication port rather than network adapter. It is simple in operation and cost effective.

Abstract: A method of obtaining the BIOS version date in the windows operating system using dynamic virtual device drivers (VxDs). First, input and output parameter buffers are defined and the initial address and area size of search memory are obtained. The physical address is mapped to a linear address. After initializing the address shift, the system makes sure the shift is smaller than the memory size minus 8. The system then checks that the address pointed by the initial address plus the shift contains a number. The address of the number is taken as the base address. The values in the zeroth through the ninth bytes of the base address are preserved and returned to the application routine, giving the BIOS version date.

Abstract: This specification discloses a method for automatic testing PCMCIA cards. The method first loads in the main library of the control panel, then checks and displays the PCMCIA module using the application interface of the control panel library. A SetwindowsHook then loads in dynamic link library (DLL) and checks the TextOut function address from the ModuleList in PCMCIA module for interception and data storage. The peripheral description values are stored in a list and compared with the data intercepted and stored in the ModuleList to complete a test report on correctness or error.

Abstract: A method for managing and using a test system is proposed, which is applied to the test system comprising a test server and a test workstation, and allows a user to perform a test and obtain a test report according to the user's right for accessing the test server and an actual operating state of the test workstation. The users are assigned to different test groups set up in the test server. The test workstation activates a start-up window for the user to input data thereto and transmits the data to the test server. The test server then processes the transmitted data and produces the corresponding test report according to the right of the user and the right of the test group which the user belongs to for accessing the test server.

Abstract: A disk-cloning method and system is provided for cloning computer data from a source disk to a target disk. This disk-cloning method and system can be utilized, for example, in the computer assembly line to clone a preselected set of software programs to the main hard disk of each computer unit, or as a backup to a hard disk. This disk-cloning method and system is characterized in that the source data are read from the source disk and written onto the target disk in a sector-by-sector manner rather than in a file-by-file manner as the prior art. This feature allows the cloning procedure to be more efficiently carried out than the prior art. Moreover, it allows the disk-cloning procedure to be performed without having to make modifications to the existing FDT (File Directory Table) and FAT (File Allocation Table) on the target disk, thus ensuring the system security of the target disk. This disk-cloning method and system is therefore more reliable and efficient to use than the prior art.

Abstract: A method of forming a collateral alliance between Windows 9X system and Windows NT 4.0 system suitable for writing the image data of a seed hard drive to a target hard drive. The method includes writing image data into the target hard drive and then finding a boot file that registers the hard drive parameters in the target hard drive. An error signal is issued and the transaction is terminated when the boot file is not found. If the boot file is found, hard drive parameters of the hard drive is retrieved and written into the boot file.

Abstract: A method for automatic obtaining the ID number of items of a volume control program is disclosed. The method comprises three main steps: turning on a volume control program, detecting items and calculating an ID number of each item. The first step is turning on a volume control program, for example, turning on the volume control program from a start catalog of Microsoft Windows. The second step is detecting items, which is searching a desired item whether present in a control plane of the volume control program. If the item is present in the control plane of the volume control program, an ID number of the item can be obtained. The third step is calculating the ID number of the item, which is calculating the ID number of each item such as volume, left-right sound track and muteness by using the obtained ID number of the item.

Abstract: A method for automatic controlling the display of the object on the display panel comprises two steps, establishing a pattern and regulating an object on the display panel. The first step is to establish the pattern, which is based on the need of expected protocol for users or soft/hardware constituent, so that the items on the display panel of control program can be made out. The second step is to control the display of the object on the display panel, which automatically finds whether the relative items are on the display panel of the control program. If no items exist in it, the volume regulating on the display panel is controlled using the establishing pattern in the first step.
