| Abstract: | A method for securely running industry software. Industry software and data are stored in an internal storage medium of a wireless communication terminal. A user interface (UI) of the wireless communication terminal includes a UI-customized Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) instruction processing module, and the wireless communication terminal includes a customized SCSI instruction processing module in the wireless communication terminal. The UI sends a customized SCSI instruction from the UI-customized SCSI instruction processing module to interact with the customized SCSI processing module in the wireless communication terminal, so as to load the industry software and the data into a memory of a Personal Computer (PC) to run the industry software and the data in the memory of the PC. After the data are updated, the UI sends a customized SCSI instruction to write updated software or the updated data back into the storage medium of the wireless communication terminal. |

| Claim: | 1. A method for securely running industry software, comprising: storing industry software and data in an internal storage medium of a wireless communication terminal, wherein a User Interface (UI) port of the wireless communication terminal comprises a UI-customized Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) instruction processor, and the wireless communication terminal comprises a customized SCSI instruction processor in the wireless communication terminal; sending, by the UI port, a customized SCSI instruction from the UI-customized SCSI instruction processor to interact with the customized SCSI processor in the wireless communication terminal, so as to load the industry software and the data into a memory of a Personal Computer (PC) to run the industry software and the data in the memory of the PC; and after the data are updated, sending, by the UI port, a customized SCSI instruction to write updated software and the updated data back into the internal storage medium of the wireless communication terminal, wherein the industry software and the data stored in the internal storage medium of the wireless communication terminal are loaded from the internal storage medium of the wireless communication terminal into the PC to be run only when there is a need to run the industry software, the running industry software calls and interacts with a network server so that the data needing to be updated are written into a hidden partition of a card through a customized SCSI instruction. |
| Claim: | 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the internal storage medium of the wireless communication terminal is a flash memory or a T card. |
| Claim: | 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication terminal is a data card. |
| Claim: | 4. A wireless communication terminal, comprising: a storage medium, a User Interface (UI) port, and a customized Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) instruction processor; wherein the storage medium is configured to store industry software and data; and the UI port comprises a UI-customized SCSI instruction processor, and is configured to: send a customized SCSI instruction from the UI-customized SCSI instruction processor to interact with the customized SCSI instruction processor in the wireless communication terminal, so as to load the industry software and the data into a memory of a Personal Computer (PC) to run the industry software and the data in the memory of the PC; and after the data are updated, send a customized SCSI instruction to write updated software and the updated data back into the storage medium of the wireless communication terminal, wherein the industry software and the data stored in the internal storage medium of the wireless communication terminal are loaded from the internal storage medium of the wireless communication terminal into the PC to be run only when there is a need to run the industry software, the running industry software calls and interacts with a network server so that the data needing to be updated are written into a hidden partition of a card through a customized SCSI instruction. |
| Claim: | 5. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the storage medium of the wireless communication terminal is a flash memory or a T card. |
| Claim: | 6. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the wireless communication terminal is a data card. |
