Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for converting a button function, and in particular to an automatic method according to the needs of a computer system The method of converting the soft shortcut function of the button. [Prior Art] In the existing notebook computer design, Original ❹ Equipment Manufactures (OEM) manufacturers will more or less plan many different function keys on the keyboard to facilitate the user to operate certain specific Software shortcuts. However, as the number of applications supported by computer systems increases, so does the number of function keys that need to be set. In the case that the original function keys (F1 to F12) are no longer available, many software shortcuts must even depend on the way the user passes the key combination (eg Fn+1, Fn+2, or Fn+space, etc.). To start. However, the greater the number of key combinations defined, the greater the chance of conflicting applications. For example, when the user presses the - group 9 key, the application will compete with each other for the combination key signal. If the application that the user wants to launch does not receive the signal of the combination key, the computer system will not Perform the actions expected by the user. On the other hand, if the application gets a signal that would otherwise belong to another application, it will cause a malfunction. Therefore, the increase in the number of function keys may cause (4) inconvenience in operation in some cases. In addition to the programmable function key design, each function key group corresponds to a specific function. In other words, if you need to give a different definition of the 5 27l62twf.doc/n 200945115 VOV/WV. JL v/ function keys, you must re-develop a new program to achieve the above purpose. In terms of software maintenance, such a method is bound to consume more labor costs. At the same time, it requires more development time. ❿

In an embodiment of the invention, wherein the button comprises a function key on the keyboard. 200945115 τν 27l62twf,doc/n The invention realizes the executable software by reading the registry of the computer system and the shortcut function corresponding to the executable software, and then judges that it will not be used at present when the computer system is started. The button to go to. Then, through the embedded controller, the scan code of the above button is changed, so that the button performs the shortcut function of other executable software, thereby avoiding the situation that some buttons are idle and cannot be utilized. The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments of the invention. [Embodiment] In order to use the function keys on the keyboard and avoid the quick function of pre-setting the function keys, the computer system does not support the corresponding application, and the Wei key is side-pointed. When starting the computer system, it immediately judges which function keys have been disabled, and automatically assigns = the thief-style shortcut function to the original Wei is stopped (four) function key, and the usage rate of the monthly function key To avoid the function keys being idle without using the j case. The present invention is a method for automatically converting a button function based on the above-described viewpoints. In order to clarify the content of the present invention, the following specific embodiments are examples in which the present invention can be implemented. Figure 1 is a flow chart of the method of the automatic conversion button of the present invention. In this embodiment, the power of the keyboard is configured as an example of how to automatically convert the functions of the keys on the keyboard. The 'computer system can be a personal computer or a notebook computer, etc., and the scope is not limited herein. In the following embodiments, the automatic conversion function is taken as an example, and the present invention is described by g 200945115 27162twf.doc/n. Referring to FIG. 1, first, as shown in step 110, the computer system $ is started to obtain the hotkey requirement of the computer system. Among them, the hot key requirement corresponds to the electric machine, and the first executable software. Further, with the different computer systems and computer models, the supported computer applications are different. In this embodiment, the executable soft system refers to a computer application supported by the computer system (ie, can be used in a computer). The application executed on the system). The hotkey needs to be ❹ P to indicate that the power-saving system is in working state, corresponding to all executable, body hotkey shortcut functions. However, it must be ensured that each executable can correspond to one or more hotkey shortcut functions, and the number of corresponding hotkey shortcut functions is not limited here. * Next, in step 120, the scan code of the button on the keyboard is changed according to the hotkey requirement to convert the function corresponding to the button. Among them, the keys are, for example, function keys on the keyboard. In this embodiment, each function key has been previously set to correspond to a different hotkey shortcut function. However, for some computer applications that do not work on the computer system (for convenience of explanation, hereinafter referred to as the parking software), all the corresponding touch function materials exist, so each hot key can be The function keys corresponding to the shortcut function are converted into other functions (for example, hotkey shortcut functions converted to other executable software). This will prevent the function keys from being used by the deactivated software. In order to further explain the detailed steps of how to automatically switch the function of the button according to the hotkey requirements of the computer system, the present invention will be described with reference to another embodiment. 2 is a flow chart of a method of automatically switching a button function in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

I ❹ The second system is different from the executable software' and the executable software and the deactivated Z configuration demand key value have shortcut functions that can be enabled, = off setting parameters and other information. ,, as shown in Figure 220, start the computer system. After the computer system is started, it will take care of the process, and the program module responsible for keyboard management (such as keyboard intercept function, eyboard hook function) will also be executed. Next, as shown in step 230, the keyboard partition program will automatically read the registration, the body configuration requirements key value, and all the shortcut functions corresponding to each executable body in the hardware configuration requirement key value. As a hotkey of the computer system, after obtaining the fine-grained right, you can consider which executable software to make = function key. Next, the unutilized keys on the keyboard are obtained in step 240 by the information provided by the hardware configuration demand key. In the present embodiment, the 'unused button system' indicates the button for deactivating each shortcut function of the software. Further, by reading the information of the hardware configuration requirement key value, it can be confirmed that various computer applications are 200945115 for the computer system - λ, / 27162 twf.doc / n is executable software or pause Use software. Among them, the deactivated software that does not work on the computer system, the corresponding button corresponding to each shortcut function loses its role, and therefore will be judged as an unused button. Finally, as shown in step 250, the embedded controller (EC) built into the computer system is used to change the scan code of the unused button, thereby converting the function corresponding to the unused button. In this embodiment, the advanced controller and the power interface (Advanced Configumtioii and ❷ P〇Wer Interface, ACPI) are used to notify the embedded controller to change the scan code of the unused button. The step of converting the function corresponding to the unused button is, for example, a shortcut function for converting the function of the unused button into one of the executable software. In one embodiment, it is assumed that the application program, the application program 2, the application program 3, and the application program 4 respectively correspond to a shortcut function, and the four functions of the F system F2, F3, and F4 are configured on the keyboard of the computer system. The function keys are pre-configured to correspond to the shortcut functions of Application 1, Application 2, Application 3, and Application 4. If you start the computer system and read the hardware configuration requirement key value in the registry, it is judged that the application 丨, application 2 and application 4 belong to the executable software of the computer system, and the application 3 is the disabled software. (In other words, 'Application 3 will not work on the brain system', then the function key F3 corresponding to the application 3 will be disabled, so the function key F3 will be judged as unused keys. Then, the keyboard interception program notifies the embedded controller to change the scan code of the function key F3 through the advanced configuration and the power interface, thereby changing its function. In an embodiment, it is assumed that the scan code corresponding to the function key F3 originally
