A data storage device is disclosed. The data storage device comprises a controller and a data storage unit. The controller comprises a firmware. The data storage unit comprises a first system storage sector and a second system storage sector. A state of the first system storage sector is preset as a display state by the firmware, and a state of the second system storage sector is preset as a hidden state by the firmware. The first system storage sector stores an original operating system, and the second system storage sector stores a backup operating system. When the original operating system damages, the firmware will recover the original operating system in the first system storage sector via the backup operating system in the second system storage sector; afterwards, a boot operation can be executed via the original operating system recovered, again.

Data storage device and method for maintaining normal boot operation of data storage device

The invention provides a system capable of remotely maintaining the operation of electronic apparatus. The system comprises a cloud management platform and at least one electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus comprises a data storage device and an operating system maintenance device. The data storage device comprises a plurality of flash memories and a controller. The operating system maintenance device comprises a microprocessor and a network communication component. An operating system is installed in the flash memories of the data storage device. When the operating system of the electronic device is abnormal, the operating system maintenance device receives an operating system repairing instruction from the cloud management platform via the network communication component. The microprocessor of the cloud management platform repairs the operating system of the electronic apparatus according to the operating system repairing instruction, so that the operating system of the electronic apparatus can resume normal operation.

Electronic apparatus, system and method capable of remotely maintaining the operation of electronic apparatus

The invention provides a data storage device comprising a controller and a data storage unit. The data storage unit comprises a first system storage area and a second system storage area. The first system storage area stores an original operating system, and comprises a first initial sector address. The second system storage area stores a backup operating system, and comprises a second initial sector address. The controller comprises a firmware. A boot pointer offset procedure is defined in the firmware. A boot pointer is preset by the firmware to point to the first initial sector address of the first system storage area, and therefore a boot operation is executed by the original operating system. When the original operating system damages, the firmware executes the boot pointer offset procedure to offset the boot pointer to the second initial sector address, and executes the boot operation by the backup operating system.

The invention provides a system capable of remotely controlling electronic apparatus to execute program. The system comprises a cloud management platform and at least one electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus comprises a data storage device and a program execution management device. The data storage device comprises a plurality of flash memories and a controller. The program execution management device comprises a microprocessor having a network communication function. When the cloud management platform wants the electronic device to execute a specific operation or collect a specific information, it will send a specific operation instruction to the program execution management device. The microprocessor of the program execution management device wants that the controller of the data storage device executes a corresponding operation program according to the specific operation instruction to generate an execution message related to the specific operation, and then transmits the execution message to the cloud management platform.

System and method capable of remotely controlling electronic apparatus to execute program

The invention provides a system capable of remotely controlling electronic apparatus, which includes a cloud management platform and at least one electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes at least one operation element, and a data storage device having a network communication function. The data storage device includes a first transmission interface, a second transmission interface, a data storage unit, and an operation management unit. Via the first transmission interface, data stored in the data storage unit can be read or data can be written into the data storage unit. The operation management unit of the data storage device transmits a specific operation instruction to the operation element via the second transmission interface after receiving the specific operation instruction sent from the cloud management platform, such that the operation element can execute a corresponding operation according to the specific operation instruction.

Data storage device, electronic apparatus, and system capable of remotely controlling electronic apparatus

The invention provides a system capable of remotely controlling electronic apparatus. The system comprises a cloud management platform and an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus comprises a motherboard and a data storage device. The motherboard comprises a standby power circuit. A standby power is supplied to the data storage device via the standby power circuit. The data storage device comprises a data storage unit and a program management unit. The program management unit comprises a microprocessor and a network communication component. Whether the electronic apparatus is in a power-on state or a power-off state, the data storage device can always maintain in a normal operation via the standby power. When the microprocessor of the program management unit receives a specific operation instruction from the cloud control platform, it will execute a corresponding operation program according to the specific operation instruction.

System and method capable of remotely controlling electronic apparatus

A multimedia control method, which includes following parts. A first program preview request for a specified program channel is received from a set-top box. Multiple video clips are acquired according to the first program preview request and the multiple video clips are divided into at least a first video clip group and a second video clip group with sequence number. A first multicast channel is set for the first video clip group, and a second multicast channel is set for the second video clip group. The first video clip group is sent to the set-top box using the first multicast channel, and the second video clip group is sent to the set-top box using the second multicast channel.
