Electronic device and its operating system wake-up method

Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic device and a wake-up method for an operation system of the same. The electronic device comprises a processing unit operating the operation system, a timer coupled to the processing unit, and a basic input / output system unit coupled to the processing unit. When the operation system operated by the processing unit is in a dormant state and the processing unit receives a wake-up signal, the processing unit executes a wake-up program through the basic input / output system unit, so that the operation system enters a working state from the dormant state, and the processing unit controls the timer to start a timing program. When the processing unit determines that the timing value of the timing program of the timer is larger than a threshold and the operation system does not enter the working state from the dormant state, the processing unit executes a reset program through the basic input / output system unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device, and in particular to an electronic device and a method for waking up an operating system thereof. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, electronic devices such as desktop computers and notebook computers are usually set to enter a sleep mode when idle for a long time to achieve power saving. And when the user wants to remotely log in or access the electronic device in the dormant mode through the connection of the Internet, the electronic device needs to be woken up by a mechanism such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL for short). , the user may obtain the control right of the electronic device or the ability to access data. [0003] However, in some cases, an unexpected error may occur in the electronic device when it is awakened from the sleep mode to the normal working state, so that the electronic device cannot return to the normal working state. Therefore, the user of the device may not be abl...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in some cases, an unexpected error may occur in the electronic device when it is awakened from the sleep mode to the normal working state, so that the electronic device cannot return to the normal working state. Therefore, the user of the device may not be able to obtain the required data or perform necessary manipulations in real time, which may cause considerable distress and incalculable losses to the user.
