METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BINDING A NON-VOLATILE STORAGE DEVICE WITH A CONSUMER PRODUCT

摘要

A method is disclosed for binding a non- volatile storage device (110) with a consumer product (100) suitable for a mass production environment. The non- volatile storage device is provided with a predetermined identifier (105). The predetermined identifier indicates that the non- volatile storage device is to be bound to the consumer product. The consumer product detects insertion of the non- volatile storage device and reads the predetermined identifier. The consumer product then writes predetermined information regarding the consumer product (125) on the storage device, such that the non-volatile storage device and the consumer product are bound. The predetermined identifier may be a file with a predetermined name, or a file comprising a predetermined data sequence. The predetermined information may be detailed information about the consumer product, such as consumer product type or model number or installed software version.
