Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the popularization of information technology, users have increasingly strong demands for operations such as data theft protection, system recovery, and antivirus, and this demand is constantly changing, and this demand is also different from person to person; although existing The current BIOS can provide one of the above-mentioned operations, but it is difficult to meet the increasing needs of users; in addition, the functions of the BIOS itself are stored in the non-volatile memory in the form of code, and have been programmed when the electronic device leaves the factory. Cured, so that it cannot be modified, therefore, the existing BIOS cannot meet the subsequent needs of users
In other words, after the electronic equipment leaves the factory, the function of the BIOS has been clearly determined; and after the electronic equipment leaves the factory, the user of the electronic equipment cannot change the function of the BIOS according to his own needs.

Abstract

The invention discloses an information processing method applied to an electronic device. The electronic device comprises firmware of a basic input / output system (BIOS). The method comprises the steps of determining the existence of first identification information when the BIOS performs startup self-inspection POST; responding to the first identification information, and loading and operating an expansion module; loading a driving module corresponding to an external functional module when that loading the external functional module is determined under the control of the expansion module; acquiring the external functional module; operating the external functional module; quitting the control right of the BIOS; continuously performing the POST process according to the BIOS with the control right. The invention also discloses an electronic device. According to the technical scheme, the method and device can dynamically meet varying user demands, and the user does not need to update the BIOS again.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to electronic equipment technology, in particular to an information processing method and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] The basic input and output system (BIOS, Basic Input Output System) is a set of programs solidified on a read-only memory (ROM, Read-Only Memory) chip on the motherboard of the electronic device, which stores the most important basic input and output of the electronic device. Programs, system setup information, post-boot self-test procedures, and system self-start procedures. Its main function is to provide the lowest and most direct hardware setting and control for electronic equipment. [0003] With the popularization of information technology, users have increasingly strong demands for operations such as data theft protection, system recovery, and antivirus, and this demand is constantly changing, and this demand is also different from person to person; although existing The current BIO...
