[0041] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a method for enabling hotkeys in an electronic device, the electronic device including multiple operating systems, the method including:

[0042] S100, based on the first operation request, selects one operating system from multiple operating systems;

[0043] For example, firstly, the user turns on the electronic device, which can be a laptop or desktop computer. Since the electronic device in this embodiment includes multiple operating systems, the user needs to select the desired operating system from among these. Specifically, a first operation request is obtained; this first operation request is the operation request for the operating system the user wants to use. Based on the first operation request, the user can select an operating system from among the multiple operating systems. For example, the user can select a first operating system from among the multiple operating systems, which can be a commonly used operating system in electronic devices such as Windows.

[0044] S200, based on the characteristics of the selected operating system, a confirmation command is sent to the embedded controller of the electronic device, so that the embedded controller calls the hotkey code corresponding to the selected operating system based on the confirmation command;

[0045] For example, after a user selects the desired operating system from multiple options and starts the selected system, the BIOS of the electronic device can determine the characteristics of the selected operating system. For instance, if the selected operating system is Windows, the BIOS can determine that the selected operating system possesses the characteristics of Windows. Based on the characteristics of the selected operating system, the BIOS can obtain a confirmation command, which is the command from the user confirming the selected operating system. The BIOS can then send the confirmation command to the embedded controller (EC) of the electronic device, causing the EC to invoke the hotkey code corresponding to the selected operating system. After the user starts the electronic device, they select the desired operating system by clicking the icon corresponding to the operating system displayed on the electronic device; for example, the user can select Windows. After the Windows system starts, based on the characteristics of the Windows system, the BIOS can send a confirmation command to the embedded controller (EC) of the electronic device, causing the EC to invoke the hotkey code corresponding to the Windows system.

[0046] S300, apply the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code to the selected operating system.

[0047] For example, after selecting the desired operating system and invoking the hotkey code corresponding to the selected operating system, the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code is applied to the selected operating system. For instance, if the user selects Windows as the desired operating system, the BIOS can send a confirmation command to the embedded controller EC that Windows has been started, causing the embedded controller EC to invoke the hotkey code corresponding to Windows and apply the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code to the Windows system.

[0048] This application designs hotkey setting codes corresponding to different operating systems, and then stores the codes in different storage units of the embedded controller EC of the electronic device. When the required operating system starts, based on the characteristics of the selected operating system, the BIOS sends a confirmation command to the embedded controller EC, so that the embedded controller EC calls the hotkey code in the corresponding storage unit. This solves the technical problem that different keyboard hotkey functions cannot be fully implemented in multiple operating systems. Through intelligent judgment, the hotkey functions of different systems in multiple operating systems can be realized.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method further includes:

[0050] S400, multiple hotkey codes corresponding to the multiple operating systems are preset, and the multiple operating systems correspond one-to-one with the multiple hotkey codes. The hotkey codes are stored in the registers of the embedded controller.

[0051] For example, before starting the operating system required by the user, multiple sets of hotkey codes corresponding to multiple operating systems are preset. Each operating system corresponds one-to-one with one of the hotkey codes. Specifically, hotkey codes for each of the multiple operating systems can be preset, and these multiple sets of hotkey codes are stored in different registers of the embedded controller EC. The hotkey codes represent the hotkey definitions for the corresponding operating system. For instance, the electronic device may have multiple operating systems including UOS and KOS. The hotkey code for UOS is 10, and the hotkey code for KOS is 11. The hotkey codes for UOS and KOS can be stored in different registers of the embedded controller EC. When the required operating system starts, the embedded controller EC can call the hotkey code in the corresponding register to implement the hotkey function of the corresponding operating system.

[0052] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method further includes:

[0053] S500, multiple labels corresponding to the multiple operating systems are preset to trigger, and the multiple operating systems correspond one-to-one with the multiple labels, and the multiple labels are stored in the BIOS of the electronic device.

[0054] For example, before starting the operating system required by the user, multiple labels corresponding to multiple operating systems are preset, with each operating system corresponding to one of the labels. Specifically, a label corresponding to each of the multiple operating systems can be preset, and these labels are stored in the BIOS of the electronic device. For instance, the multiple operating systems of the electronic device include UOS and KOS systems. The label corresponding to triggering UOS is 0, and the label corresponding to triggering KOS is 1. The labels corresponding to triggering UOS and KOS can be stored in the BIOS. When the required operating system starts, the label corresponding to that operating system can be triggered. For example, when UOS is required, label 0 corresponding to UOS can be triggered to start UOS.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: obtaining a corresponding trigger instruction based on a first operation request, and starting a selected operating system based on the trigger instruction, wherein the trigger instruction is associated with a label corresponding to the selected operating system.

[0056] For example, when a user selects the desired operating system, a first operation request is first obtained. Since the first operation request is the operation request for the operating system the user needs to use, a corresponding trigger instruction can then be obtained based on the first operation request, and the selected operating system can be started based on the trigger instruction. The trigger instruction is associated with a label corresponding to the selected operating system. For instance, when the first operation request indicates that the user needs to use the UOS system, a corresponding trigger instruction can be obtained, and then the label 0 corresponding to the UOS system can be triggered when the electronic device is powered on to start the UOS system.

[0057] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes:

[0058] S600, based on the second operation request, switch the current first operating system to a second operating system that is different from the first operating system;

[0059] For example, firstly, after the user turns on the electronic device, since the electronic device in this embodiment includes multiple operating systems, the user may need to switch from the currently used operating system to another operating system when using the electronic device. Specifically, a second operation request is obtained. The second operation request is an operation request from the user to switch the currently used operating system. Based on the second operation request, the user can switch the current first operating system to a second operating system different from the first operating system. For example, the first operating system may be a UOS system, and the second operating system may be a KOS system. Based on the second operation request, the user can switch from the currently used UOS system to the KOS system.

[0060] S700, based on the features of the second operating system, sends a switching instruction to the embedded controller, so that the embedded controller calls the hotkey code corresponding to the second operating system based on the switching instruction;

[0061] For example, after a user switches from the current first operating system to a second operating system different from the first, the second operating system can be activated. The BIOS of the electronic device can determine the characteristics of the switched second operating system. For instance, if the second operating system is a KOS system, the BIOS can determine that the switched operating system has the characteristics of a KOS system. Based on the characteristics of the second operating system, the BIOS can obtain a switching instruction, which is the instruction that the user specifies to switch to the currently used operating system. Then, the BIOS can send the switching instruction to the embedded controller (EC) of the electronic device, so that the EC can call the hotkey code corresponding to the second operating system based on the switching instruction. For example, when a user needs to switch operating systems, they can select the operating system to switch to by clicking the icon corresponding to the operating system displayed on the electronic device; for example, the user can choose to switch from the UOS system to the KOS system. After switching to the KOS system, based on the characteristics of the KOS system, the BIOS can send a switching instruction to the embedded controller (EC) of the electronic device, so that the EC can call the hotkey code corresponding to the KOS system based on the switching instruction.

[0062] S800, the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code is applied to the second operating system.

[0063] For example, after switching operating systems and invoking the hotkey code corresponding to the switched operating system, the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code is applied to the switched operating system. For instance, when a user switches from a UOS system to a KOS system, the BIOS can send a switching command to the embedded controller EC to switch to the KOS system, causing the embedded controller EC to invoke the hotkey code corresponding to the KOS system and apply the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code to the KOS system. This embodiment achieves the switching of hotkey functions between different operating systems in multiple operating systems through an intelligent switching method.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0065] Based on the association between the operating system, the BIOS, and the hotkeys, a correspondence table between the operating system, the BIOS, and the hotkeys is pre-defined. The correspondence table includes the version of the operating system, the label corresponding to the operating system in the BIOS, and the hotkey code stored in the embedded controller.

[0066] For example, before starting the operating system required by the user, a mapping table between the operating system, BIOS, and hotkeys is pre-set based on the association between the operating system, BIOS, and hotkeys. Specifically, the mapping table is set according to the operating system version, the corresponding label of the operating system in the BIOS, and the hotkey code stored in the embedded controller EC. For example, for the UOS system, the UOS system version is UOS, the corresponding label of the UOS system in the BIOS is 0, and the hotkey code of the UOS system stored in the embedded controller EC is 10; this information can be pre-set in the mapping table.

[0067] In one embodiment of this application, sending a confirmation command to the embedded controller of the electronic device based on the characteristics of the selected operating system, so that the embedded controller invokes the hotkey code corresponding to the selected operating system based on the confirmation command, includes:

[0068] Upon determining the characteristics of the selected operating system, a confirmation instruction is sent to the embedded controller of the electronic device based on the correspondence table, so that the embedded controller invokes the hotkey code corresponding to the selected operating system based on the confirmation instruction; and the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code is applied to the selected operating system.

[0069] The correspondence table is used to associate the operating system, the corresponding label of the operating system in the BIOS, and the hotkey code stored in the embedded controller.

[0070] For example, when a user determines the characteristics of the selected operating system, a confirmation command can be sent to the embedded controller EC of the electronic device based on a mapping table. This mapping table is pre-defined based on the association between the operating system, BIOS, and hotkeys; specifically, it associates the operating system with its corresponding label in the BIOS and the hotkey codes stored in the embedded controller EC. The embedded controller EC can then invoke the hotkey code corresponding to the selected operating system based on the confirmation command and apply the hotkey function represented by the hotkey code to the selected operating system. For instance, if the selected operating system is a UOS system, the BIOS can determine that the selected operating system has the characteristics of a UOS system. Based on the characteristics of the selected operating system, the BIOS can receive a confirmation command confirming that the user-selected operating system is a UOS system. Afterward, the BIOS can send a confirmation command to the embedded controller EC of the electronic device, causing the embedded controller EC to invoke the hotkey code corresponding to the UOS system based on the confirmation command. After the user starts the electronic device, they select the UOS system by selecting label 0 corresponding to the UOS system displayed on the electronic device. After the UOS system is started, based on the characteristics of the UOS system, the BIOS can send a confirmation command to the embedded controller EC of the electronic device to confirm that the UOS system has been started, so that the embedded controller EC can call the hotkey code 10 corresponding to the Windows system based on the confirmation command.

[0071] OS and Hotkey Mapping Table in BIOS and EC

[0072] OS version OS corresponding label in BIOS EC different hotkeys correspond to registers UOS 0 (Triggered upon power-on) 10 (UOS System Hotkey Definitions) KOS 1 (Triggered upon power-on) 11 (KOS System Hotkey Definitions) GSKU 2 (Triggered upon power-on) 12 (GSKU System Hotkey Definitions) …… ...(triggered upon power-on) ……
