The multiple booting system 2 of the embodiment is applicable to an electronic device 1, and includes: a restart button 20, a basic booting system 22, a system memory unit τ 24 and a boot management module 26, wherein the basic booting system 22 includes A signal detection module 225, the signal detection module 225 further includes a comparison unit 2250; the power-on management module 26 includes a comparison unit 265. The restart button 20 is used to generate and rotate a restart signal to control the electronic device 1 to restart immediately after being turned off; and the basic boot system 22 is used to perform various initial operations for booting, thereby completing the booting process. The signal detection module 225 is included for detecting the state of the restart signal sent by the restart button 20, and calculating the duration of the signal for the duration of 201001285 degrees, and passing the calculated length of time through the comparison unit 2250. Remember = change to the corresponding - record, the county view miscellaneous writer system memory two grab-4 system 5 has recalled the single 24 after receiving and storing the record value, the boot management module 26 will store its stored record value Read back, and use the comparison list = 65 to determine the specific job index corresponding to the record value, the index, the index to the operating system, complete the electronic device, reboot, and select the operating system program. ^ 彳妾 进 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 The remake key 20 receives a reboot signal 7 after a reboot, for example, to generate a restart signal, and outputs the signal to drive the electronic device 1 to immediately shut down and restart the job. The restarting device has a fixed signal state for the tiger to generate and output, and after the electronic device 1 is restarted, the basic initial booting system 22 performs the initial operation related to the booting operation, wherein the machine number debt detecting module 225 is used for detecting : Is the status of the signal after the restart signal is the same as the status of the signal before the power is turned off? If the status of the signal remains the same, indicating that the v command for selecting or specifying a specific operating system still exists, the signal detecting module 225 should further determine the operating system to be specified; however, if the restarting signal is turned off before and after the power is turned on, The sorrow has been different, indicating that there is no command to select or specify a particular operating system, and the basic boot system 22 notifies the boot management module 26 to load a preset operating system directly. When the signal state is maintained in the same situation, the basic booting system 22 suspends other initial booting operations, and the signal detecting module 225 starts to calculate the restarting signal. Since the electronic device 1 is restarted, the message 11 201001285 is continuously presented. The time of the state. The calculation of the time is maintained until the signal state of the restart signal is changed, and the total time length calculated by the measurement module 225 is used to compare the recorded value of the _, the interval and each time interval in the comparison unit, and the time is The length is converted to a specific record value', and the record value is written to the system (4). Please refer to the second figure for the time interval and recorded value of the π single 2250 5 recorded: the signal state maintains the high potential time length between 1 second and 5 seconds. The recorded value is "〇1", 6 to U) seconds. The record value between the records is "G2", and the record value of 1Q seconds or longer is "〇3"; the right call detection module 225 calculates that the restart signal continues for the same signal state for a total of 6 seconds, in contrast to the time interval. The division module converts the length of time to "02", and writes the record value 02 to the memory unit 24 for storage. In order to retain the function of simply restarting the electronic device 1 and directly loading the preset operating system, the signal detecting mode 225 may wait for the time between the k temples, for example, after 1 day, to start determining the signal state of the restart signal. Whether it changes. Referring to the time drawing shown in the third figure, after the user presses the restart button 20 to emit a high-potential signal, the power device is restarted at the time to point, and the signal system module 225 starts at the time t1 after the elapsed time. Determine if the signal status remains high. ^Users «Restart button 2G. The time signal 'is notified that the power-on management module 26 directly loads the state of the preset high-level state - until the time 12 is changed, indicating that the time ti from the replacement module 225 to calculate the signal state is time t2 6 Seconds' According to the second time interval and recorded value, the length between 12 201001285 should be converted to "G2" and recorded to the system memory unit. Signal detection 225 will write the recorded value to the system memory unit. The basic booting secret 22 _ performs the initial booting operation, and informs the booting management module f that the fourth recording unit 24 reads the recorded value stored therein, and the booting official module 26 uses the comparison unit according to the recorded value read back. It is judged which one of the record values corresponds to the specific index, and is responsible for the (4) and shouting of the index, and completes the booting operation of the designated operating system of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the electronic device can be a computer device such as a personal electrical device or a set-top box; wherein the basic booting system 22 for implementing the above multiple booting functions is a basic output, and a system (m〇) s), system de single το 24 is a complementary metal oxide semi-conductor access quotation (CMOS RAM), and the boot management module % is the main startup record (MBR) 〇 " / under x86 architecture' When the electronic device i is turned on, it will first boot into the system for self-test (P〇wer 〇n Sdf_Test) and various programs before entering the operating system, and when the basic input and output into the system, the electronic device 1 needs to be acquired. The basic setting data is stored in the complementary metal oxide semiconductor random access memory. Therefore, before the electronic device 1 enters the operating system, the basic input/output system will read and write data here, and the booting process is performed until The operating system takes over the entire electronic device i. The main startup record is mainly used to load the operating system, so that after the initial startup process is completed, the operating system can be More complicated work, 13 201001285 When the clothing has a multiple operating system, the main startup - the operating system that has been specified to load, can make the correct operating system load for user-specified work. When the power== secret 20 is connected to the ___ command, a general-purpose input (GPI) signal for controlling the m 1 restart is generated, and the universal number is presented as a high-potential state. The general input signal is transmitted. The volume device 1 immediately shuts down, and then restarts after power-on.

At this time, the basic input and output system will suspend the next booting process, and the communication (4) test module 225 starts to calculate: since the electronic farmer restarts, the restart signal continues to be in the same state, in this case, the high value. The number of seconds of the potential state, the re-opening of the correction of the re-opening 2〇 is terminated, and the potential state is changed to the low-potential state. The total time length obtained after the calculation is converted into a record value as described above with reference to the second figure. After the recording module 225 records the corresponding record value of the time interval 14 201001285, 'there is a singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the semiconductor. The area detection is performed. After the signal detection module 225 writes the recorded value into the storage, the basic input and output system _ the previous pause shutdown program notifies the main startup record to the complementary metal oxide semiconductor random access memory to read the recorded value back. The comparison with the material in the comparison unit 265. As shown in the comparison data in the comparison unit 265 shown in the fourth figure, 'exemplary', when the main startup record reads back the record value "02" The series can be known as (4), the system index is the fault recovery mode operating system 'main startup record, that is, according to this index, load a fault recovery mode operating system. According to the above implementation method, the technical means provided in this embodiment can control the output of the restart signal according to the length of the restart button 2Q, and the shutdown of the restart signal is restarted, and the restart is selected. (4), the industry of materials "materials do not have a keyboard for input, or display a screen can be viewed electronic devices proposed - an effective multi-boot scheme; even for users of general computer equipment, this embodiment The technology also provides a simpler and more time-saving way to make money. The operating system that can be selectively loaded in the above embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the above-exemplified types, and may of course include, for example, the Anwang mode operating system shown in the fourth figure, the Linux operating system, or even to cooperate with the electronic Various special operating systems, such as maintenance, for the use of the device 1 are required to set the operating system required for the electronic m. In addition, in order to let the user know if the user has reached the 15th 201001285 time interval of the operating system that the user wants to select, the basic booting system 22 can be used to enter the different time intervals. Or prompt the user to remind you of the sound. The fifth figure is an embodiment of the multi-boot method for specifying the operating system at the time of booting, and discloses a method for implementing multiple booting. First, a restart signal (eg, a universal input signal) is generated by a restart button 20 via a restart command, and the signal is output to control an electronic device 1 to be restarted immediately after being turned off (S5〇1); After the restart, a signal detecting module 225 is further provided to detect the signal state of the restart signal, and it is determined whether the state of the signal at this time is the same as the state of the restarting tiger before the electronic device is turned off (S5〇3), the foregoing The signal status is the high or low state of the restart signal; if the signal status of the restart signal is different from the status before the power is turned off, for example, the restart signal is high before the power is turned off, and when the power is turned on. When the system is in a low state, a basic booting system 22 notifies a boot management module 26 to directly load a preset operating system (S505); and if the signal state is the same, the restart button 20 is triggered to issue a restart signal. The restart command has not been terminated, so the restart signal continues to be high after the power is turned off until the power is turned on. At this time, the signal is detected. The module 225 starts to calculate the length of the surface potential state time since the power is turned on, for example, 5 seconds (S507); then, converts the length of the epoch to a recorded value, and then writes the specific record value. The system memory unit 24 stores (S509). During the process of calculating the duration of the high potential state by the signal detecting module 225, the basic booting system 22 suspends other booting procedures until the recorded value is written to the system memory unit 24. Next, the basic booting system 22 notifies the boot management module 26 of the previous 16 201001285 to the system memory unit 24, and reads back the recorded value stored therein, and the boot management module 26 determines the read value corresponding to the recorded value. The operating system is (S511), and finally the corresponding specific operating system is loaded into the electronic device 1 by the boot management module 26 (S513). After the electronic device 1 is turned off and then restarted (S501), it may wait for a fixed period of time, for example, 1 second, before starting to determine whether the current signal state is the same as before the shutdown, so that the user does not want to load the pre-load. The simple restart of the operating system is made, but the program for selecting other operating systems is entered because of slower release. In the step of the conversion time length being the recorded value (% 〇 9), the signal detection module 225 calculates and calculates according to the recorded value recorded in the comparison unit 2250 and the non-overlapping time interval corresponding to each recorded value. The length of time that comes out is in the range of time - the record value exchanged by the decision (four) is the handle.
