Method for displaying key function of computer, application program and readable recording medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for displaying a key function of a computer, an application program and a readable recording medium. In the method, when a user presses a special key on a keyboard, an embedded controller inside the computer is triggered, and then a basic input system detects a hardware function set in the computer. Thus, according to the hardware function in the computer, function description is displayed on a screen, wherein the hardware function and the function description correspond to each function key on the keyboard. Therefore, a keyboard on which different functional prompt patterns are printed is not required to be used when the hardware function of the computer is changed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a computer display method, an application program and a computer-readable recording medium, and in particular to a display method for displaying key functions, an application program and a computer-readable recording medium. Background technique [0002] Various hardware functions of the computer are mainly driven by input devices, the most common ones being keyboard and mouse. An embedded controller (Embedded Controller, EC) inside the computer is triggered mainly by the user pressing the above-mentioned input device, so that the EC sends a signal to the operating system (Operating System, OS) of the computer, such as Microsoft's (Microsoft) Window operating system (Windows) and Apple's (Apple) Mac OS X operating system, etc., and then the OS controls and executes corresponding hardware functions. However, the hardware functions of the computer continue to increase, but the corresponding changes of the input device ar...

Furthermore, the user also needs to replace the keyboard with the corresponding prompt pattern 131 printed on the function in response to the addition or deletion of the computer hardware function, which not only increases the replacement cost of the hardware device, but is also quite inconvenient.

For example, if a certain hardware function of the computer is deleted, but the keyboard is not replaced, the function key 13 originally corresponding to the hardware function is still printed with the function prompt pattern 131, so that the hardware function cannot be determined. Does the function exist or not, which confuses the user and misuses the function key 13
