Error reporting and correcting method for peripheral
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, if executed, result in:
- in response to detecting an error associated with a peripheral, generating an error record in a host communicatively coupled to the peripheral;
in response to a comparison of a portion of said error record with a message table, uploading an error record communication to a network; and
in response to the uploading, automatically downloading a correcting program associated with the error record to the host via the network.

Abstract
An error reporting and correcting method applied to a peripheral. The peripheral can be connected to the user terminal via the network. In the error reporting and correcting method, an error record file is generated immediately after an error operation occurs to the peripheral. The error record file is uploaded via the network by the user host, and a correction program corresponding to the error file is downloaded to the user host via the network. After being downloaded, the correction program for automatically performing error correction is automatically installed in the user host.

10. An computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, if executed, result in:
-
in response to a detection of a software error associated with a peripheral, generating an error code; generating an error record based at least in part on the error code; providing an error record communication to a network in response to a comparison of a portion of the error record with a message table; in response to the providing, automatically downloading a correcting program associated with the error record from the network; and utilizing the correcting program to at least partially correct the detected software error. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus, comprising:
-
means for generating an error record in a host communicatively coupled to a peripheral in response to an error operation occurring in a computer system including the host and the peripheral; means for uploading the error record communication to a network in response to a comparison of a portion of said error record with a message table; and means for automatically downloading a correcting program associated with the error record from the network in response to the uploading. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29)

30. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a computing device communicatively coupled to a peripheral, said computing device adapted to; generate an error code at least in part in response to a detection of an error associated with the peripheral; obtain a correcting message associated with the error code from a message table stored on the computing device in response to a comparison of a portion of the error record file with the message table; if the message table has an entry associated with the error code, display the correcting message on a display coupled to the computing device; and if the message table does not have an entry associated with the error code, process the error as a software error. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)
