[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Hotkeys, also known as shortcut keys, are specific keys or key combinations used during the server startup process to quickly access certain functions, such as entering BIOS setup and selecting a boot device. Hotkeys simplify user operations, allowing users to perform critical tasks without having to memorize complex commands or menu paths. Generally, different devices and motherboards have different hotkey configurations. For example, common hotkeys for entering the BIOS Setup interface include F2, Del (Delete), and Esc (Exit).

[0047] During server use and management, users or administrators may need to frequently enter the BIOS to make configuration changes or troubleshoot problems, and may also need to quickly select boot items or enter the PXE, USB, or TF card boot environment. However, traditional hotkey configurations do not always meet the needs of all users. Specifically, users may have the following needs: (1) Flexibility and customization: Adapting to the user's personal preferences or specific workflows. For example, a user may want to use a key that is easier to remember or more convenient to operate as a hotkey; (2) Convenience: In a server room environment, physical access to the server may be difficult due to the small space or large number of servers. Custom hotkeys can help administrators access the required functions more quickly, especially in remote management. (3) Uniformity: There may be multiple brands and models of servers in the user's computer room. Generally speaking, the default hotkey designs of different brands are different. If the hotkey functions cannot be unified, it will cause great trouble to the administrator. The administrator needs to customize the functions to achieve hotkey unification.

[0048] The current technical implementation of hotkey settings can be divided into the following two categories: (1) Firmware customization: For advanced users or enterprise environments, custom firmware can be used to implement custom hotkey functions. This usually involves modifying the BIOS source code and then recompiling the BIOS image to include the customized hotkey configuration. This method requires professional skills and knowledge and is usually performed by BIOS engineers. (2) Third-party tools: Although using third-party tools to simulate hotkey behavior is feasible in some cases, such tools need to run in the OS (Operating System) environment and are not recommended for server environments because there may be security risks. Third-party tools may bypass the security mechanism of the BIOS, making the system vulnerable to attacks.

[0049] Therefore, setting up server hotkeys involves a lot of complexities, including the basic functionality of the BIOS, the purpose of the hotkeys, and the specific needs of the user. As server management becomes increasingly complex, customizing hotkeys has become an important means of improving efficiency. Through proper planning and implementation, users can fully utilize this functionality to better manage and maintain their server equipment. To this end, the present invention provides a server hotkey setting method that addresses these issues and enables secure and low-demand server hotkey customization.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for setting a server hotkey is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include:

[0051] S101: Obtain a hotkey file defined by the user based on a hotkey customization form in a setting interface.

[0052] The execution subject of this embodiment is a terminal. The terminal can be a local terminal or a remote terminal. When the server starts, a hotkey customization form will be displayed in the settings interface, and the user can use the hotkey customization form in the settings interface to perform hotkey customization operations. If the user does not perform customization operations, the hotkey customization form in the settings interface can also be closed. The customization form includes option names and optional key names. For example, the option names may include Hotkey To Setup (a shortcut key for entering settings), Hotkey To Boot Menu (a shortcut key for entering the boot menu), Hotkey To PXE Boot (a shortcut key for starting the network), etc. Corresponding to each option name, there are multiple key names. For example, the optional key names corresponding to Hotkey To Setup (a shortcut key for entering settings) include: ESC, DEL, F1, F2, F3, etc. It should be noted that users can also customize and add additional option names. It is understandable that the option name is a name that can represent the function of the hotkey.

[0053] Furthermore, this embodiment may also allow users to customize hotkey macros, that is, a hotkey triggers a series of predefined operations or commands, thereby improving operational efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to make operation more convenient for users and reduce the knowledge requirements for users, the above hotkey customization form may also include help information, which is used to explain the function and purpose of each option.

[0055] Specifically, when a user formulates a hotkey file based on a custom form, help information can be configured for each option. When the user selects the option, help information can pop up to explain the function and purpose of the option for easy understanding by the user.

[0056] Furthermore, to avoid the problem of custom hotkeys not taking effect, you can also include the following steps:

[0057] When a custom hotkey based on a hotkey file conflicts with other hotkeys, a prompt will be given and a hotkey conflict solution will be provided.

[0058] Specifically, when a user executes a hotkey file, the system can help the user avoid invalid hotkeys. Specifically, when a hotkey is selected, the system determines whether the selected hotkey has other functions. If so, the system prompts the user that the key cannot be used; if not, the key can be used. Furthermore, when conflicts arise, the system provides suggestions for resolving hotkey conflicts, such as automatically adjusting the default settings of certain hotkeys.

[0059] S102: Determine a target hotkey function according to the option name of the hotkey file, and determine a target hotkey scan code according to the key name of the hotkey file.

[0060] After the user sets up a hotkey file on the setup interface, the user's selected hotkey function can be determined based on the option name in the hotkey file, and the target hotkey scan code selected by the user can be determined based on the key name in the hotkey file. The target hotkey scan code refers to the keyboard scan code corresponding to the key selected by the user.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to facilitate hotkey management, after determining the target hotkey function according to the option name of the hotkey file, the following steps may be further included:

[0062] Save the hotkey file in a folder with the same function category according to the target hotkey function.

[0063] Specifically, you can determine which category of hotkeys the hotkey file belongs to based on the target hotkey function. Of course, you can also place it in the Hotkey Setting submenu under the Advanced Form (Advanced Menu), and then further find submenus of the same category of functions in the Hotkey Setting submenu.

[0064] S103: updating a mapping table according to the target hotkey scan code and the target hotkey function, and saving the mapping table; the mapping relationship between the keyboard scan code and the keyboard function is stored in the mapping table.

[0065] It should be noted that the mapping table in this embodiment records the mapping relationship between keyboard scan codes and keyboard functions. The mapping table in this embodiment can record the mapping relationship between all keyboard scan codes and their corresponding keyboard functions. If a key is not a hotkey and does not have a keyboard function, its mapping is empty.

[0066] Furthermore, under default conditions, or during initialization (initialization will automatically enter the default conditions), the mapping table records the mapping relationship between the hotkey scan codes and the hotkey functions set based on experience.

[0067] Specifically, the mapping table in this embodiment only records the hot keys and does not record other keys. This ensures that the keyboard scan codes recorded in the mapping table are all keyboard scan codes of the hot keys, reduces the mapping complexity of the mapping table, and saves the storage space of the mapping table.

[0068] S104: When the server is restarted, the updated mapping table takes effect.

[0069] After the mapping table is updated and saved, the updated mapping table takes effect after the server is restarted, and the user-defined hotkey file takes effect, and the hotkey change / customization is completed.

[0070] Furthermore, after the updated mapping table takes effect, the following steps may be further included:

[0071] When the CheckForKey function detects that the user presses a hot key during the startup phase, it obtains the scan code corresponding to the hot key;

[0072] Find out whether there is a hot key scan code corresponding to the hot key based on the updated mapping table;

[0073] If it exists, search for the target function corresponding to the hotkey, execute the target function, and enter the corresponding interface;

[0074] If it does not exist, the boot function is executed and an error message is displayed on the interface;

[0075] When the CheckForKey function does not detect that the user presses the hot key during the startup phase, the hot key prompt information in the hot key customization form is loaded and displayed; the hot key prompt information is used to inform the user how to perform the next operation; the hot key prompt information is automatically generated according to the mapping relationship in the mapping table.

[0076] Specifically, the CheckForKey function monitors keyboard input to check if a key is pressed. When a key is detected, it returns the scan code for that key, which is then used by subsequent code. The returned scan code is then queried against the mapping table defined in hotkey_actions.c (the mapping table definition file). If the scan code is found in the mapping table, indicating a corresponding function, the corresponding hotkey function is executed. If the key does not have a corresponding function record in the mapping table, the boot process continues. In this embodiment, a hotkey prompt is generated based on the mapping relationship in the mapping table. This hotkey prompt can be used to inform the user how to proceed. For example, this hotkey prompt can clearly inform the user how to enter the Setup interface or perform other operations. For example, the hotkey prompt might read: "Press F2 to enter setup." This hotkey prompt is displayed on the screen, making it clear to the user what to do next. It should be noted that because different hotkeys have different corresponding prompts, the prompts need to be updated based on the settings. When a valid key is detected, this embodiment can determine whether the key is a hot key set in the mapping table based on the hot key scan code in the mapping table. If it is a hot key set in the mapping table, the function corresponding to the hot key is determined based on the mapping relationship corresponding to the hot key scan code in the mapping table, and the corresponding interface is entered. If no valid user key is detected or the hot key is not in the mapping table, a hot key prompt message can be set to prompt the user to prevent the user from mistakenly pressing a key to enter other interfaces, thereby improving security and enhancing user experience.

[0077] This embodiment does not limit the display format of hotkey prompt information. In addition to text prompts, multimedia elements such as icons and animations can also be added to make hotkey prompt information more intuitive and easy to understand. The display format of prompt information, such as color and font size, can also be automatically adjusted according to user preferences or system settings.

[0078] Furthermore, in order to increase the flexibility of hotkey settings, after determining the target hotkey function according to the option name of the hotkey file and determining the target hotkey scan code according to the key name of the hotkey file, the following steps may be further included:

[0079] Determine the validity conditions based on the validity tag of the hotkey file;

[0080] Accordingly, when the server is restarted, the updated mapping table takes effect, including:

[0081] When the server is restarted, the updated mapping table takes effect under the effective conditions.

[0082] The purpose of this step is to enhance the flexibility of hotkey configuration. While allowing users to define only the hotkey function, they can also define the conditions under which the hotkey will take effect. For example, it can only be effective during a specific time period or when a specific user is logged in.

[0083] Furthermore, this embodiment can also limit the setting permissions for the hotkey file. For example, different hotkey setting permissions can be provided for different user levels, such as administrators and ordinary users. Alternatively, when the user is an advanced user, the optional option names and optional hotkey functions in the hotkey customization form are more abundant, while when the user is a novice user, the hotkey settings can be simplified.

[0084] Furthermore, before obtaining the hotkey file defined by the user based on the hotkey customization form in the setting interface, the method further includes:

[0085] Get the user's historical hotkey records and current hotkey records;

[0086] Adjust the optional item names and optional hotkey functions in the hotkey customization form based on historical hotkey records and current hotkey records.

[0087] Specifically, this embodiment can obtain the user's hot key usage habits based on the user's historical hot key records and current hot key records, and set more friendly optional item names and optional hot key functions in the user's hot key customization form based on the hot key usage habits, so that the user can more conveniently set the hot keys of his personal usage habits, and the optional items in the hot key customization form are more streamlined, more targeted and personalized.

[0088] The server hotkey setting method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by obtaining the hotkey file formulated by the user based on the hotkey customization form in the setting interface; determining the target hotkey function according to the option name of the hotkey file, and determining the target hotkey scan code according to the key name of the hotkey file; updating the mapping table according to the target hotkey scan code and the target hotkey function, and saving it; the mapping relationship between the keyboard scan code and the keyboard function is stored in the mapping table; when the server is restarted, the updated mapping table takes effect. The beneficial effect of this method is that: in this method, the user can formulate a hotkey file based on the hotkey customization form, and update the mapping table based on the hotkey file, thereby realizing the customization of the server hotkey. This method allows the user to customize the hotkeys and their functions according to needs to adapt to different usage scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility and personalization of the system. In particular, it is implemented by configuring the hotkey file and the mapping table, does not involve third-party tools, and does not pose any security risks; it has lower requirements on users and also improves the user experience.

[0089] In addition, help information is provided to facilitate users to customize server hotkeys; and by saving hotkey files in a folder with the same function, the management of hotkey files is facilitated; and, hotkey prompt information is dynamically generated and displayed on the screen according to the user's hotkey settings, and the hotkey prompt information displayed on the screen is dynamically updated according to changes in the hotkey settings to guide user operations, thereby improving the friendliness and intuitiveness of the user interface; and, the CheckForKey function is implemented to monitor keyboard input, and query the mapping table based on the returned scan code to decide whether to execute the corresponding hotkey function.

[0090] In order to make the present invention easier to understand, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary method for customizing server hotkeys provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 An example diagram of an operation process provided by an embodiment of the present invention may specifically include:

[0091] Step 1: Create a unicode file to define the option names, optional hotkey names, and help information displayed in the Setup interface. For example, create a HotkeyOption.uni code file, also known as a hotkey file. This hotkey file can define multiple option names or a single option name. For example, Hotkey To Setup (a shortcut key for entering settings), Hotkey To Boot Menu (a shortcut key for entering the boot menu), Hotkey To PXE Boot (a shortcut key for starting the network), etc. For each option, define its optional hotkey name, such as ESC, DEL, F1, F2, F3, etc.; and add detailed help information for each option, explaining its function and purpose.

[0092] Step 2: Create an Sdl file to define the scan codes (also called keyboard scan codes) for each hotkey to be used. For example, create a hotkeys.sdl file to list all available hotkeys and their corresponding scan codes, such as F1, F2, Esc, DEL, etc.

[0093] Step 3: Create an .sd file, define menu items like HotkeyToSetup, HotkeyToBootMenu, and HotkeyToPXEBoot, and place them in the Hotkey Setting submenu under the Advanced Form. For example, create the advanced_menu.sd file and define a form called Hotkey Setting containing the aforementioned menu items. These menu items correspond to the menu names displayed in Setup in Step 1. The optional hotkey names for each menu item are all keys that can be used as hotkeys. For example, under the HotkeyToSetup menu, the options are ESC, DEL, F1, F2, F3, and so on.

[0094] Step 4: Create a C file to define the hotkey-to-function mapping table and update the mappings in the table based on the hotkey settings above. For example, create hotkey_actions.c and use a data structure to store the default hotkeys and their corresponding functions. If the settings in setup are not the default values, use the UpdateHotkeyOption() function to update the hotkey mappings to match the options set in Setup.

[0095] Step 5: Create a .uni file to define the hotkey prompts that appear on the screen for different settings. Since different hotkeys have different prompts, you need to update the prompts based on the settings. For example, create a file called hotkey_prompts.uni to define the hotkey prompts that appear on the screen, such as "Press F2 to enter setup."

[0096] Step 6: After the server is powered on, hotkey prompts are printed on the screen during POST (a step in the computer startup process). During POST, the server determines the Setup hotkey settings and dynamically loads and displays the corresponding prompts defined in hotkey_prompts.uni. These prompts clearly inform the user how to enter the Setup interface or perform other operations.

[0097] Step 7: The CheckForKey function detects the currently pressed key. The CheckForKey function monitors keyboard input and checks whether a key is pressed. When a key is detected, it returns the scan code for that key, which is then used by the subsequent code.

[0098] Step 8: Check if the hotkey being pressed has a corresponding function record in the mapping table. Use the scan code returned by the CheckForKey function to query the mapping table defined in hotkey_actions.c. If the scan code exists in the mapping table, it means that the corresponding function exists.

[0099] Step 9: If the hotkey pressed in step 8 has a corresponding function record in the mapping table, the corresponding hotkey function is executed; if the hotkey pressed in step 8 does not have a corresponding function record in the mapping table, the boot process continues. The code logic is as follows: if the hotkey has a corresponding function, call the corresponding processing function; if the hotkey does not have a corresponding function, ignore the hotkey and continue the normal boot process.

[0100] The above steps reflect that the entire process from hotkey definition, user configuration, hotkey detection to function execution is integrated into one system, forming a closed-loop solution and enhancing the integrity of the system and user experience.

[0101] The following is an introduction to a server hotkey setting device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The server hotkey setting device described below and the server hotkey setting method described above can be referenced to each other.
