Abstract

The present invention provides a method for establishing a virtual operating system (VOS). The method comprises: obtaining an instruction message for loading a VOS, wherein the instruction message comprises identification information of application programs corresponding to the VOS to be loaded; obtaining configuration information of a VOS plug-in required for executing each application program corresponding to the identification information from a virtual environment database; and establishing a link between the VOS plug-ins required for executing an application program and a VOS core part according to the configuration information, and loading the VOS plug-ins into user-mode memory space. The present invention decompose a VOS into one core and many plug-ins, for code sharing, which is a great flexibility because independent functions can be combined on demand. The present invention facilitates followed-up dynamic updating and upgrading of the VOS, enables every application program to have fittest VOS and dynamically adjusts the functionality of the VOS according to requirements so as to fulfill the current situation.

Claims

1. A method for establishing a virtual operating system (VOS), comprising:

obtaining an instruction message for loading a VOS, wherein the instruction message comprises identification information of application programs corresponding to the VOS to be loaded;

obtaining configuration information of a VOS plug-ins required for executing the application program corresponding to the identification information from a virtual environment database; and

establishing a link between the VOS plug-ins required for executing the application program and a VOS core part according to the configuration information, and loading the VOS plug-ins into user-mode memory space.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of establishing a link between the VOS plug-ins required for executing the application program and a VOS core part according to the configuration information, and loading the VOS plug-ins into use-mode memory space comprises:

combining VOS plug-ins which have the same kind of interfaces and are required for executing the application program into a plug-in string according to the configuration information;

establishing the link between the plug-in string and the VOS core part; and

loading the VOS core part and all the required plug-in strings finishing the link into user-mode memory space.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step of combining VOS plug-ins which have the same kind of interfaces and are required for executing the application program into a plug-in string according to the configuration information comprises:

combining VOS plug-ins which have the same kind of interface and are required for executing the application program into a plug-in string in a preset order according to the configuration information.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-ins linked to the VOS core part according to instruction messages for changing the plug-ins.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the step of the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-in linked to the VOS core part according to an instruction message for changing the plug-in comprises:

the VOS core part modifying parameters of the VOS plug-ins according to instruction messages for setting plug-in parameters;

or

the VOS core part dynamically loading and hanging the VOS plug-ins to be loaded in corresponding positions in the corresponding plug-in strings according to instruction messages for loading plug-ins;

or

the VOS core part dynamically removing the VOS plug-in to be unloaded in the corresponding plug-in strings according to instruction messages for unloading plug-ins;

or

the VOS core part dynamically adjusting the order of the VOS plug-ins in the corresponding plug-in string based on requirements for adjusting plug-in order according to instruction messages for adjusting plug-in order.

6. The method according to claim 5, before the step of the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-ins linked to the VOS core part according to instruction messages for changing the plug-ins, further comprising:

the VOS core part receiving the instruction messages and resolving the instruction messages to learn changing requirement of the VOS plug-ins.

7. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-ins linked to the VOS core part according to instruction messages for changing the plug-ins.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the step of the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-in linked to the VOS core part according to an instruction message for changing the plug-in comprises:

the VOS core part modifying parameters of the VOS plug-ins according to instruction messages for setting plug-in parameters;

or

the VOS core part dynamically loading and hanging the VOS plug-ins to be loaded in corresponding positions in the corresponding plug-in strings according to instruction messages for loading plug-ins;

or

the VOS core part dynamically removing the VOS plug-in to be unloaded in the corresponding plug-in strings according to instruction messages for unloading plug-ins;

or

the VOS core part dynamically adjusting the order of the VOS plug-ins in the corresponding plug-in string based on requirements for adjusting plug-in order according to instruction messages for adjusting plug-in order.

9. The method according to claim 8, before the step of the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-ins linked to the VOS core part according to instruction messages for changing the plug-ins, further comprising:

the VOS core part receiving the instruction messages and resolving the instruction messages to learn changing requirement of the VOS plug-ins.

10. The method according to claim 3, further comprising:

the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-ins linked to the VOS core part according to instruction messages for changing the plug-ins.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the step of the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-in linked to the VOS core part according to an instruction message for changing the plug-in comprises:

the VOS core part modifying parameters of the VOS plug-ins according to instruction messages for setting plug-in parameters;

or

the VOS core part dynamically loading and hanging the VOS plug-ins to be loaded in corresponding positions in the corresponding plug-in strings according to instruction messages for loading plug-ins;

or

the VOS core part dynamically removing the VOS plug-in to be unloaded in the corresponding plug-in strings according to instruction messages for unloading plug-ins;

or

the VOS core part dynamically adjusting the order of the VOS plug-ins in the corresponding plug-in string based on requirements for adjusting plug-in order according to instruction messages for adjusting plug-in order.

12. The method according to claim 11, before the step of the VOS core part dynamically changing the VOS plug-ins linked to the VOS core part according to instruction messages for changing the plug-ins, further comprising:
