A computer state conversion method, device and computer

Abstract

The invention provides a computer state conversion method and device as well as a computer. The method is applied to the computer and comprises the steps as follows: when the computer is in a suspend to RAM (STR) state, the power consumption of the computer is a first power consumption; when the computer is converted into a startup state from a suspend to disk (STD) state, the time consumption of the computer is a first time consumption; a first power supply state conversion command is obtained when the computer is in the startup state, wherein the first power supply state conversion command is used for instructing the conversion of the computer from the startup state to a specific state; in response to the first power supply state conversion command, the computer is in the specific state, wherein the power consumption of the computer in the specific state is a second power consumption and the second power consumption is less than the first power consumption; and the time consumption of converting the computer from the specific state to the startup state is a second time consumption and the second time consumption is less than the first time consumption. According to the invention, the power consumption of the system is reduced when the recovery speed is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the computer field, in particular to a computer state conversion method, device and computer. Background technique [0002] The current operating system based on the X86 architecture is bulky and slow to switch on and off, and the long time consumption of the standard switch on and off mode makes the user feel unable to achieve the best experience. [0003] In order to improve the boot speed, multiple modes are set in the prior art, including S3 mode and S4 mode. The system can quickly restore to the previous state, so some devices are still in working state, such as memory, memory controller, platform controller center PCH, etc., which need to consume power. [0004] In S4 mode (suspend to hard disk STD mode), the data used to restore to the previous state is saved to the hard disk, so the parts that need power supply are reduced, but because the data needs to be read from the hard disk and loaded into the memory, its startup...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the operating system based on the X86 architecture is bulky, and the switching speed is very slow. The long time consumption of the standard switching mode makes the user feel unable to achieve the best.

[0003] In order to improve the boot speed, multiple modes are set in the prior art, including S3 mode and S4 mode. The system can quickly restore to the previous state, so there are still some devices in working state, such as memory, memory controller, platform controller center PCH, etc., which need to consume power

[0004] In S4 mode (suspend to hard disk STD mode), the data used to restore to the previous state is saved to the hard disk, so the parts that need power supply are reduced, but because the data needs to be read from the hard disk and loaded into the memory, its startup time is slower longer
