As for other hardware peripherals that do not correspond to the launched application, they will not be initialized, so the speed can be increased. 1. Khan 1 The input control of the keyboard 30 is controlled by a keyboard controller (Keyboard Controller). The keyboard controller has: (a) a buffer memory (Buf fer) can store the keyboard input data. (b) Scan Code is used to compare the entered data. (c) Send an interrupt request. When a key is pressed, a corresponding keystroke will appear, and then the keyboard controller will find the corresponding code by scanning the code. In the buffer memory, the keyboard controller then sends the interrupt request to the central processing unit, the central processor loads and executes the service program corresponding to the interrupt request, and finally the central processing unit reads data from the buffer memory. Therefore, when the user presses the shortcut key on the keyboard 30, the key pulse is transmitted to the keyboard controller through the output / and I / O port, and is stored in the buffer memory. The scan code is compared with the pulse of the key, and the corresponding code is stored in the buffer memory. The basic output / input system reads the code to determine which application shortcut key the user presses to switch to the corresponding one. Application

200407789 V. Description of the invention (6) Press the corresponding shortcut key to start the computer system. Step S11 initializes the periphery of the hardware. Through the basic I / O system, the peripheral hardware of the embedded system corresponding to the first shortcut key is initialized. Step S2 starts the first embedded system. When the first shortcut key is pressed, during the boot process, 'the basic output / input system of the computer system queries the keyboard controller (also known as the in-line controller, Embedded Coritfoller) for the status of the shortcut keys'. At present, the system starts with the first shortcut key, so the first on-board system is activated. Step S3: Press the second shortcut key. If you want to use another application at this time, press another shortcut key to start another embedded system. … Step S31 initializes the peripheral hardware. Through the basic output / input system, the peripherals of the hardware corresponding to the embedded system corresponding to the second shortcut key are initialized and started. Step S4 starts the second embedded system. When the second shortcut key is pressed, during the boot process, the basic output / input system of the computer system queries the status of the shortcut keys returned by the keyboard controller. It can be known that the current system is started with the second shortcut key, so the second Embedded Systems. Step S5 closes the first embedded system. After starting the second ’, because the first embedded system is not used for a while, one system is closed.

To save system ... system resources. ^ W According to the shortcut key that is pressed, the corresponding hardware is entered, and other hardware that is not used does not have a basic output / input system to initialize the embedded system of the application program. Because it is initialized, so Can shorten the boot time
