Autorun functionality is incorporated into an integrated circuit memory device such as any USB peripheral, which has a memory component interfaced to a USB microcontroller. This provides autorun of one or more executables or application installers from a memory component with a USB interface without an intermediate hardware-based autorun feature. USB peripheral devices internally include a USB microcontroller that performs the functionality associated with identifying the device to a host computing device, such as a personal computer. Autorun firmware is embedded into the USB microcontroller.The autorun firmware enables autorun of an installable or executable application stored on the memory component of the USB device. The firmware acts as bridge component translating all commands and interactions between a host PC and the memory component. 自动运行功能被并入诸如任何USB外围设备之类的集成电路存储设备中，所述集成电路存储设备具有与USB微控制器相接的存储器组件。这在没有基于中间硬件的自动运行特征的情况下，提供了从具有USB接口的存储器组件自动运行个或多个可执行程序或应用程序安装程序。USB外围设备在内部包括USB微控制器，所述USB微控制器执行与用于向主机计算设备(诸如个人
