First embodiment
Fig. 1 is the starting-up method process flow diagram according to the computer system shown in the first embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, at first, start computer system (step S105), just, when the user presses the power key of computer system, computer system will be activated.Next, computer system will be carried out a hardware initialization program (step S110), come the hardware in the computer system is carried out initialization.With present computer system is example, and behind computer system starting, Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (Basic InputOutput System is hereinafter to be referred as BIOS) begins each hardware in the computer system is carried out initialization and test.
At this moment, if the user is the setting of wanting to change some hardware in the computing machine, will be by the hot key on the lower keyboard (hot key), for example: Delete button or F8 button or the like, and to enter the setting interface of BIOS.Therefore, after step S110, computer system starts one and sets interface (step S115) according to a trigger pip (hot key that the user pressed just).
Enter set the interface after, the value of a plurality of setting options of user in just can the change setting interface.Setting option for example is system time, user's password, supvr's password, startup disk order or the like.Afterwards, the user leaves selection and sets the interface.And present embodiment leave set the interface after, when the value of the arbitrary specific settings option in a plurality of setting options is changed, computer system will judge whether the specific settings option that is changed belongs to a particular options group (step S120).In the present embodiment, particular options group is not for example for needing the setting option of the machine of reopening in a plurality of setting options, and these do not need the setting option of the machine of reopening and the completed start-up course of computing machine to have nothing to do, that is to say, after the user changes these setting options that do not need the machine of reopening, computer system can the load operation system, and does not need to restart computing machine again.
Therefore, in step S120, if judging specific (all have changed) setting option all belongs to particular options group, then computer system is with load operation system (step S125).Afterwards, computer system just enters general normal operator scheme.For instance, if the user is a change user password setting the specific settings option that changes at the interface, this sets option and start process is irrelevant, therefore, the user leave set the interface after, with direct load operation system, and need not restart computing machine.In addition, in above-mentioned step S125, supposed computer system before entering the setting interface, the initialization of each hardware is finished with test, therefore can directly load operation system.But, before entering the setting interface, have only the hardware initialization of part and test to finish as if computer system, in step S125, computer system reloads operating system then continue to carry out the hardware that is not initialised as yet and tests before entering the setting interface after.
On the contrary, in step S120, set option and do not belong to particular options group if judge specific (arbitrary change), then computer system will be restarted (step S130), and re-executes above-mentioned hardware initialization program.For instance, if the user is setting the frequency that the specific settings option that changes at the interface is the change central processing unit, this specific settings option is relevant with the initialization of when start central processing unit, therefore, after the user leaves the setting interface, computer system will be restarted, with initialization central processing unit once more.In addition, in the present embodiment, restarting computer system can be the warm start mode of present computer system.
In the above-described embodiment, particular options group is not for example for needing the setting option of the machine of reopening in a plurality of setting options.Yet those skilled in the art should know by inference, and particular options group comprises the setting option that need start shooting again.Therefore, in step S120, if when judging specific (arbitrary) and setting option and belong to particular options group, then computer system will be restarted; Otherwise if when judging specific (all change) and setting option and do not belong to particular options group, then computer system is with the load operation system.
In sum, present embodiment is in setting the interface behind the change setting option, utilize and judge whether the setting option that is changed belongs to particular options group, decides computer system whether to need to restart, thereby can reduce the time that the user waits for that computer system restarts.In order to be illustrated more clearly in spirit of the present invention, illustrate with second embodiment again with next.
Second embodiment
Fig. 2 is the starting-up method process flow diagram according to the computer system shown in the second embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 2, at first, start computer system (step S205), just, when the user presses the power key of computer system, computer system will be activated.Next, computer system will be carried out a hardware initialization program (step S210), come the hardware in the computer system is carried out initialization.With present computer system is example, and behind computer system starting, whole computer system will be transferred to BIOS and control.And each hardware that BIOS will begin in the computer system carries out initialization and test.
Next, the user will be if the setting of wanting to change some hardware in the computing machine will enter the setting interface of BIOS by the hot key on the lower keyboard (hot key), and the computer system of feasible this moment receives the trigger pip (step S215) that is transmitted by hot key.Then, computer system one specified sign (step S220) is set, and BIOS will check whether specified sign is provided with (step S225) after finishing above-mentioned hardware initialization program just according to this trigger pip.After BIOS finishes hardware initialization program, central processing unit in the computer system, north and south bridge chip group, storer, display device (for example display chip or display card) all have been initialised with input/output device (for example keyboard) and have finished, and can be operated normally.This moment, BIOS just can go to check above-mentioned specified sign, allowed the user after entering the setting interface of BIOS, can change the setting option of BIOS by input/output device and display device.
In step S225, if BIOS judges specified sign and is provided with, the expression user wants to enter the setting interface hardware is changed, and therefore, BIOS will enter and set interface (step S230).Otherwise if BIOS judges specified sign setting, BIOS will carry out peripheral assembly initialize routine (step S232), not have initialized hardware in the just above-mentioned hardware initialization program.Then, BIOS will reload operating system (step S235), so that operating system begins the control computer system.
After BIOS enters the setting interface, set the value of a plurality of setting options in the interface and can adjust (step S240) by the user.After the user has adjusted the setting option, the setting interface is left in selection, and this moment, a window will appear in BIOS, whether will store the value (step S245) of adjusted setting option with the prompting user.If the user selects not store the value of adjusted setting option, BIOS will leave and set interface (step S250), and carry out peripheral assembly initialize routine (step S232), reload operating system (step S235), so that operating system begins the control computer system.
On the contrary, if the user selects to store the value of adjusted setting option, BIOS will judge whether the setting option that is changed is recorded in the particular options group table (step S260).In the present embodiment, particular options group table can be a defined in advance form among the BIOS, for example is shown in Figure 3.Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram according to the table of the particular options group shown in the second embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 3, comprise a plurality of fields in the particular options group table, in order to write down inessential reopening machine option respectively, for example the option of initialization system time, set the option of user's password or set option of supvr's password or the like, do not influence the setting option of start process.At this, the particular options group among above-mentioned first embodiment can be the set of the inessential reopening machine option among Fig. 3.
In step S260, if it is the option that is recorded in the particular options group table that BIOS judges the setting option of change, the setting option of promptly representing this user and being changed can not have influence on boot program, therefore, BIOS is stored in a storage unit (step S265) with the value of adjusted setting option.This storage unit can be complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) (CMOS) storer in the computer system or flash memory (flash memory) or the like.Afterwards, BIOS will leave and set interface (step S250), and continue to carry out peripheral assembly initialize routine (step S232), reload operating system (step S235), so that operating system begins the control computer system.For instance, if the user is a change user password setting the specific settings option that changes at the interface, the setting option of this change is second option that field write down in the particular options group table among Fig. 3, therefore, it is irrelevant that BIOS will judge setting option and start process that this user changes, thereby, continue to carry out the peripheral assembly initialize routine, and beginning load operation system.
On the contrary, in step S260, if the setting option that BIOS judges change is not recorded in the option in the particular options group table, represent that the setting option that this user changes will have influence on boot program, therefore, BIOS will store the value of adjusted setting option in storage unit (step S270), and leave and set interface (step S275), restart computer system (step S280) again.
In the above-described embodiments, each field in the particular options group of Fig. 3 table for example is in order to write down inessential reopening machine option.Yet, those skilled in the art can be known by inference by the above embodiments, each field in the particular options group table of Fig. 3 also can be to store necessary palpus to reopen the machine option, therefore make in above-mentioned steps S260, when the setting option that changes is judged is to be recorded in the particular options group table, and BIOS will restart computer system.Otherwise, when being judged, the setting option that changes is not to be recorded in the particular options group table, and BIOS will continue to carry out the peripheral assembly initialize routine, reload operating system.
In the above-described embodiments, peripheral assembly initialize routine among hardware initialization program among the step S210 and the step S232 is not accurately defined, but its main be respectively BIOS enter set before the interface with afterwards to test and initialization that hardware carried out in the computer system.With present BIOS is example, BIOS carried out initialization and test to the central processing unit in the computer system, random access memory, north and south bridge chip group, display unit and keyboard controller or the like before BIOS enters the setting interface, above-mentioned nextport hardware component NextPort can normally be operated.Afterwards, BIOS just can check specified sign, determines whether entering setting the interface, that is to say, above-mentioned hardware initialization program can be the hardware unit that only comprises a part in the initializing computer system.In addition, BIOS after all hardware in computer system all has been initialised and tests, just checks specify labels, determines whether entering setting the interface.That is to say that above-mentioned hardware initialization program will comprise hardware all in the initializing computer system.
The present invention mainly is exactly can not need to restart computing machine judging after setting option that the user changes has nothing to do with start process again, saves the time that BIOS re-executes hardware initialization program.And after leaving the setting interface, BIOS only need carry out peripheral assembly initialize routine (hardware that is not initialised as yet in hardware initialization program just), just can the load operation system.In addition, if in hardware initialization program, BIOS is all hardware in the initializing computer system, and BIOS will not carry out the peripheral assembly initialize routine, and carry out the load operation system.
In the above-described embodiments, step S265 and step S270 are the value that stores adjusted setting option.Those skilled in the art can know by inference via the above embodiments, and step S265 and step S270 should merge into a same step, and after judging the value that needs the adjusted setting option of storage, execution in step S265 (or step 270).Afterwards, execution in step S260 judges whether the setting option of change is recorded in particular options group table again.
In sum, whether the starting-up method of computer system proposed by the invention belongs to particular options group by the setting option of judging change, whether or whether the setting option of judging change is recorded in the particular options group table, decide computer system will restart.Thereby the present invention can avoid allowing the user after each change is set, and all must waste wait and start shooting again and carry out again hardware testing and initialized time.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to qualification the present invention, those skilled in the art, under the premise without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can do some changes and modification, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the application's claim.
