摘要

A method and a device for managing application of a USB device in a Linux desktop are provided to inform a user of connection/disconnection information of the USB device if a USB event occurs in the Linux desktop, and output directory content to the user in real-time when a file system according to connection of the USB device is mounted to the Linux desktop. A USB event analyzer(120) recognizes and analyzes a USB event of the USB device received from a Linux kernel. An informer(140) informs the user(10) of a USB event analysis result in real-time through a user interface(150). A USB device information processor(130) obtains USB device information according to the USB event and updates an entry for the USB device information in a device information list. The informer informs the user of entry information updated in the device information list. The USB device information processor adds the entry for the USB device to the device information list when the USB device is connected and removes the USB device entry from the device information list when the USB device is disconnected.
