Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
In view of the problems existing at present, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies and finally provide a control scheme. The scheme of the present application is described by the following examples.
First, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, please refer to fig. 1, which shows a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device, and the electronic device at least includes: an input device 101 and a control device 102.
The input device 101 may be a device for receiving data and information input by a user, such as a keyboard. The input device 101 may comprise a processing unit 1011 and at least one input unit 1012, and if the input device 101 is a keyboard, the processing unit 1011 may be keyboard firmware and one input unit may be a key.
The processing unit 1011 can interact with the bios and the input device 101, can obtain information of the bios, can control the input device (the input device may not be limited to the input device 101 in the present application), and can manage a power supply of the electronic apparatus. In the present embodiment, the processing unit 1011 is configured to control at least one input unit 1012 (here, "at least one input unit" refers to at least one of all input units included in the input apparatus 101), and enable or disable the function of the at least one input unit 1012 (here, "at least one input unit" refers to at least one of all input units controllable by the processing unit 1011).
The BIOS is a System that directly controls each item of hardware of the electronic device.
The control device 102 is connected to the processing unit 1011 of the input device 101, and the control device 102 and the processing unit 1011 can communicate based on the bidirectional two-wire system synchronous serial bus I2C protocol, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the control device 102 and the processing unit 1011 can also communicate based on other protocols, and it is within the scope of the present application as long as both communication can be achieved.
The control device 102 is configured to obtain a control instruction sent by the bios, and send the control instruction to the processing unit 1011, so that the processing unit 1011 enables or disables the function of at least one input unit according to the control instruction. It should be noted that, for an input unit, when the input unit is disabled, it no longer receives the input of the user, whereas when the input unit is enabled, it can normally receive the input of the user.
Optionally, the control device 102 may be an Embedded Controller (EC), and the Embedded Controller may keep running all the time, and no matter the electronic device is in a power-on state or a relation state, the EC may wait for power-on information of a user, and after the electronic device is powered on, the EC may further control an input device such as a keyboard, may further control an indicator light such as a charging indicator light, a fan, and may further control states of the electronic device such as standby, sleep, and the like.
In one possible implementation, the bios obtains the control instruction sent by the operating system through a specific interface (such as an os management interface), that is, the control instruction sent by the operating system is forwarded to the control device 102 by the bios. The bios may send the control command to the control device 102 by writing the control command into a designated memory area of the control device 102, monitoring the designated memory area of the control device 102, and sending the control command to the processing unit 1011 when the control device monitors that the control command is written into the designated memory area of the control device.
The Operating System refers to an Operating System, that is, an OS, which is a System for managing hardware and software resources of the electronic device, and may be various Operating systems appearing later, such as Windows7, Windows8, Windows10, and the like.
In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device can run a first application and a second application, the second application can monitor the running state of the first application in real time, and the operating system monitors the running state of the first application through the second application to obtain the control instruction when the running state of the first application meets the condition.
The control instruction in the present embodiment may include a disable instruction and an enable instruction. Wherein the disable instruction is for disabling a function of the at least one input unit and the enable instruction is for enabling a function of the at least one unit. In one possible implementation, the operating system obtains the disable instruction when the first application is running and obtains the enable instruction when the first application is not running.
In addition, in order to know the state of at least one input unit controlled by the processing unit 1011 (for example, whether the control unit is disabled or enabled), after the processing unit 1011 executes the control instruction, the execution result of the control instruction may be fed back to the control device 102, the control device 102 feeds back the execution result of the control instruction to the basic input/output system, and the basic input/output system may also feed back the execution result of the control instruction to the operating system.
The following describes a process of enabling or disabling the function of at least one input unit through interaction among an operating system, a basic input/output system, a control device, and a processing unit, taking an electronic device as a notebook computer as an example:
step S201: the operating system 201 monitors the running state of the first application through the second application.
An operating system 201, such as a Windows system, monitors the running state of a first application, such as a game application, through a second application, wherein the running state of the first application is at least indicative of whether the first application is running or not running.
Step S202: when the operating system 201 monitors that the running state of the first application satisfies the condition through the second application, the control instruction is obtained.
Taking the operating system 201 as a Windows system and the first application as a game application as an example: considering that the user may mistakenly touch the Windows key while playing the game, the Windows key needs to be locked, i.e., disabled, while the game is running. When the game stops running, that is, when the user does not play the game any more, in order to ensure that the Windows key can be normally used, the Windows key needs to be enabled, so that the Windows key can receive the input of the user, and the electronic device can respond to the input of the user based on the Windows key. Based on this, the embodiment may obtain the disable instruction when the operating system 201 monitors that the first application, such as the game application, is started through the second application, that is, the first application starts to run, and obtain the enable instruction when the operating system 201 monitors that the first application, such as the game application, stops running through the second application.
Step S203: the operating system 201 sends a control instruction to the bios 202.
The operating system 201, such as a Windows system, sends a control command (such as a disable command or an enable command) to the BIOS 202, such as a BIOS, through an operating system Management interface, such as a Windows Management interface (WMI interface for short), and the BIOS 202, such as the BIOS, forwards the control command.
Step S204: the bios 202 transmits a control command to the control device 203.
Specifically, the BIOS 202, such as the BIOS, may write control commands to a designated memory area of the control device 203, such as the embedded controller EC.
Step S205: the control device 203 sends a control instruction to the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204.
The control device 203, such as the embedded controller EC, sends control instructions to the processing unit 2041, such as the keyboard firmware of the keyboard, of the input device 204. Specifically, the control device 203 may send a control command to the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204 based on the bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus protocol.
Step S206: the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204 disables or enables the at least one input unit 2042 according to the control instructions.
If the control instruction is a disable instruction, the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204, such as the keyboard firmware of the keyboard, controls the at least one input unit 2042, such as the Windows key, to be disabled, so that when the first application, such as the game application, is running, the at least one input unit 2042, such as the Windows key, cannot receive the input of the user, so that the electronic device does not respond to the input operation of the user on the at least one input unit 2042, such as the Windows key, and the occurrence of a situation where the user mistakenly touches the at least one input unit 2042, such as the Windows key, to interrupt or terminate the first application, such as the game application.
If the control command is an enable command, the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204, for example, the keyboard firmware of the keyboard, controls the at least one input unit 2042, for example, the Windows key, to be enabled, so that when the first application, for example, the game application stops running, the at least one input unit 2042, for example, the Windows key, enables normal receiving of the user input, and thus the electronic device normally responds to the input operation of the at least one input unit 2042, for example, the Windows key.
Step S207: the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204 feeds back the execution result of the control instruction to the control device 203.
The execution result of the control instruction is used to indicate whether at least one input unit controlled by the processing unit 2041 of the input device 204 is disabled or enabled.
Step S208: the control device 203 feeds back the execution result of the control command to the bios 202.
Step S209: the bios 202 feeds back the execution result of the control instruction to the operating system 201.
The operating system 201 can know the state of the at least one input unit 2042 controlled by the control instruction based on the execution result of the control instruction.
In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application, the control device is connected with the processing unit of the input device, so that when the control device obtains the control command sent by the basic input and output system, the control device can send the control command to the processing unit of the input device, and the processing unit of the input device enables or disables the function of at least one input unit of the input device according to the control command. The control method and the control device can realize control over the input unit of the input device based on the control device, the control method is high in universality and good in control effect, and the state of the input unit acquired by the operating system can be ensured to be synchronous with the actual state of the input unit.
