Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method and a device capable of automatically identifying host operating system. For the conventionally-used USB devices or USB bridge interfaces cannot effectively identify all kinds of Operation Systems (OS) from an electronic device, the present invention proposes a novel USB device consisting of: a USB physical interface, a central processing unit, and at least one peripheral interface controller; wherein the central processing unit is particularly embedded with an OS identifying library. Moreover, the present invention simultaneously proposes an automatic OS identifying method, which particularly consists of a plurality of OS identifying steps designed based on conventional USB enumeration procedures. Thus, when a specific OS of a host device treats this novel USB device with a USB enumeration, the OS identifying library is able to detect the kind of the specific OS installed in the host device, according to the plurality of OS identifying steps.
