Abstract

A management method for an intelligent terminal system includes: starting the management function of the intelligent terminal system, acquiring an extension software package, verifying the acquired extension software package, executing functions of the extension software package if the verification is passed. An intelligent terminal is further disclosed in the present invention.

Claims

1. A method for managing an intelligent terminal system, comprising:

starting a management function of the intelligent terminal system;

acquiring an extension software package;

verifying the acquired extension software package; and

executing functions of the extension software package that has passed the verification.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the extension software package is acquired from an extension storage medium of the intelligent terminal.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the extension storage medium is one of a multiple media card (MMC), a security digital card (SD), a mini security digital card (Mini SD), and a micro security card (Micro SD).

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the starting the management function of the intelligent terminal system comprises:

activating the management function of the intelligent terminal system; and

loading a device driver in the extension storage medium.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the verifying the acquired extension software package comprises performing an integrity verification and a validity verification for the acquired extension software package.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the performing integrity verification and validity verification for the acquired extension software package comprises performing the integrity verification and the validity verification with one of Message-Digest Algorithm version.5 (MD5) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA).

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

managing the extension software package in the extension storage medium.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the extension software package carries a system upgrade submodule;

and

the step of executing functions of the extension software package comprises;

running functions of the system upgrade submodule carried in the extension software package;

acquiring a system upgrade data packet; and

upgrading the intelligent terminal system with the system upgrade data packet.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises:

authenticating a user before acquiring the system upgrade data packet;

verifying the system upgrade data packet before upgrading the intelligent terminal system with the system upgrade data packet; and

exiting the current upgrading if the authentication or the verification is not passed.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the extension software package carries at least one of a system backup submodule, a system recovery submodule, a system detection submodule, a user information backup submodule, a user information recovery submodule, an application program extension submodule, and an anti-virus submodule.

11. An intelligent terminal, comprising:

a management function starting unit adapted to start the management function of an intelligent terminal system;

an extension software package acquiring unit adapted to acquire an extension software package after the management function starting unit starts the management function of the intelligent terminal system;

an extension software package verifying unit adapted to verify the extension software package acquired by the extension software package acquiring unit; and

a management function executing unit adapted to execute functions of the extension software package after the verification for the extension software package by the extension software package verifying unit is passed.

15. The intelligent terminal of claim 11, wherein the extension software package carries at least one of a system upgrade submodule, a system backup submodule, a system recovery submodule, a system detection submodule, a user information backup submodule, a user information recovery submodule, an application program extension submodule, and an anti-virus submodule.

12. The intelligent terminal of claim 12, wherein the extension software package verifying unit comprises:

an integrity verifying unit adapted to perform an integrity verification for the extension software package acquired by the extension software package acquiring unit; and

a validity verifying unit adapted to perform a validity verification for the extension software package acquired by the extension software package acquiring unit.

13. The intelligent terminal of claim 12, further comprising:

an extension storage medium adapted to store the extension software package;

wherein the extension software package acquiring unit acquires the extension software package from the extension storage medium.

14. The intelligent terminal of claim 14, wherein the extension storage medium is one of a multiple media card (MMC), a security digital card (SD), a mini security digital card (Mini SD) and a micro security card (Micro SD).
