First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating a virtual machine template image as a virtual machine, the method comprising the steps of:
- mapping a virtual machine template image to a host operating system to adaptively converting the virtual machine template image to a virtual machine image, andbooting an operating system of the virtual machine with operating system level virtualization using the adaptively converted virtual machine image.

10. A method for distributing software, wherein at least a server is provided for distributing software, the server being able to communicate with at least one client through computer network, the method executed by the server comprising:
-
receiving a request for distributing a software to the client, generating a virtual machine template image for operating system level virtualization, the requested software being installed in the virtual machine template image, and transmitting the created virtual machine template image to the client, wherein the transmitted virtual machine template image is capable of being mapped to a host operating system of the client to generate an adaptively converted virtual machine image in the client, whereby the requested software is distributed to the client. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 16)

14. A method for transmitting a virtual machine template image, wherein at least a server is provided for transmitting the virtual machine template image, the server being able to communicate with at least one client through a computer network, the method executed by the server comprising:
-
receiving configuration of computer environment requested by the client, the configuration including a list of software and/or configuration of an operating system, generating a virtual machine template image for operating system level virtualization according to the received configuration of computer environment, and transmitting the created virtual machine template image to the client, wherein the transmitted virtual machine template image is capable of being mapped to a host operating system of the client to generate an adaptively converted virtual machine image in the client, whereby the adaptively converted virtual machine image in the client has the computer environment requested by the client. - View Dependent Claims (17)
