由快捷键待机状态快捷启动多媒体播放的方法Method for quickly starting multimedia playback from shortcut key standby state

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种电脑多媒体影音播放的方法，特别涉及一种由快捷键待机状态快捷启动多媒体播放的方法。The invention relates to a method for playing multimedia video and audio on a computer, in particular to a method for quickly starting multimedia playing from a shortcut key standby state.

背景技术Background technique

由于电脑技术的不断研发，目前以电脑系统作为核心结合影音装置而构成的多媒体影音播放系统广泛应用在例如办公室、家庭、商业场合等许多应用领域中。在目前现有的多媒体影音播放系统中，大部份的设计都只是单纯地将影音装置通过电脑接口连接于该电脑系统。因此如果操作者欲执行该多媒体影音播放功能时，即必需通过电脑系统启动该影音装置的应用程序才得以执行。也即操作者必需首先启动电脑系统，并在该电脑系统完成基本输入输出系统程序启动、系统自检、周边设备检测及驱动、操作系统启动、系统组态设定等所有程序之后，才能执行该多媒体影音播放功能。Due to the continuous research and development of computer technology, the multimedia audio-visual playback system composed of a computer system as the core and audio-visual devices is widely used in many application fields such as offices, homes, and commercial occasions. In the current existing multimedia audio-visual playback system, most of the designs are simply to connect the audio-visual device to the computer system through the computer interface. Therefore, if the operator wants to execute the multimedia audio-visual playing function, the application program of the audio-visual device must be started through the computer system to be executed. That is to say, the operator must first start the computer system, and only after the computer system has completed all programs such as basic input and output system program startup, system self-test, peripheral device detection and drive, operating system startup, and system configuration settings, can the computer system be executed. Multimedia audio and video playback function.

再者，当电脑系统完成启动程序之后，各连接的组成构件都已被驱动呈工作状态，因此整个电脑系统即会消耗额定的电功率。为了要达到节能及延长电脑系统使用的寿命，因此在目前电脑装置所广泛使用的视窗操作系统中(例如Windows XP、Windows 2000、Windows Me)，已普遍在其操作系统中整合了先进架构电源接口标准ACPI(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)的电源管理功能，借助该ACPI接口标准可控制电脑系统中相关硬件的电源管理操作。Furthermore, when the computer system completes the startup procedure, all connected components are driven to work, so the entire computer system consumes rated electric power. In order to save energy and prolong the life of the computer system, the Windows operating systems (such as Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me) widely used in computer devices have generally integrated advanced architecture power interfaces in their operating systems. The power management function of the standard ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), with which the ACPI interface standard can control the power management operation of related hardware in the computer system.

该先进架构电源接口标准ACPI可管理周边设备的用电情形。在ACPI接口标准所规范的电源管理功能中包括有电源开启(Active)、休眠(Hibernation)、待机(Standby)、关闭电源(Shutdown)等功能。依据使用者的设定，电脑系统可进入待机或休眠状态，在待机状态时可使电脑系统处于低电力消耗(Low-powerState)，而休眠状态时则可使电脑系统处理更加省电的状态。The Advanced Architecture Power Interface standard, ACPI, manages the power usage of peripheral devices. The power management functions regulated by the ACPI interface standard include functions such as power on (Active), hibernation (Hibernation), standby (Standby), and power off (Shutdown). According to the setting of the user, the computer system can enter the standby or hibernation state. In the standby state, the computer system can be in a low power consumption (Low-power State), and in the hibernation state, the computer system can be processed in a more power-saving state.

在典型的ACPI架构下，将电源的状态定义为五种不同的电源状态，分别为：Under the typical ACPI architecture, the state of the power supply is defined as five different power states, which are:

S0-正常电源供应状态。S0 - normal power supply state.

S1-第一阶待机状态，在此一状态中，停止供电至监视器及磁盘驱动器，但仍对中央处理器、存储器及风扇供应电力。S1 - first stage standby state, in this state, power is stopped to the monitor and disk drives, but power is still supplied to the CPU, memory and fans.

S2-第二阶待机状态，在此一状态中，除了停止对监视器、磁盘驱动器供电之外，也停止对中央处理器与高速缓存供电。S2—the second-stage standby state. In this state, in addition to stopping the power supply to the monitor and the disk drive, the power supply to the central processing unit and the cache memory is also stopped.

S3-第三阶待机状态，在此一状态中，停止对监视器、磁盘驱动器、中央处理器与高速缓存等装置供电，仅维持对随机存储器(RAM)最小电力供应。S3—the third-stage standby state. In this state, the power supply to devices such as the monitor, disk drive, CPU, and cache is stopped, and only the minimum power supply to the random access memory (RAM) is maintained.

S4-休眠状态，在此一状态中，停止对所有的装置及元件供电，但操作系统在电源关闭之前可将原开启的数据及程序执行状态予以储存。S4-sleep state, in this state, the power supply to all devices and components is stopped, but the operating system can store the originally opened data and program execution state before the power is turned off.

S5-关闭所有电源供应。S5 - Turn off all power supplies.

依据使用者的设定，电脑系统可进入待机或休眠状态，在待机状态时可使电脑系统处于低电力消耗(Low-power State)，而休眠状态时则可使电脑系统处于更加省电的状态。According to the user's settings, the computer system can enter the standby or hibernation state. In the standby state, the computer system can be in a low power consumption (Low-power State), and in the hibernation state, the computer system can be in a more power-saving state. .

为了要克服上述无法快速执行多媒体影音播放功能的缺点，目前已有可快速启动与播放多媒体影音功能的设计，其大部份的设计是在该电脑装置的硬盘中划分出不同的硬盘分区，并在该不同的硬盘分区中分别安装了第一操作系统(例如Linux-based操作系统)及第二操作系统(例如目前广泛使用的Windows视窗操作系统)，并需对该电脑装置的基本输入输出系统(BIOS)作部份的修改。因此操作者可依据需要而选择执行电脑作业模式或是多媒体播放模式。当操作者选择执行多媒体播放模式时，则电脑启动后，电脑装置不执行一般电脑装置的启动程序，而是直接载入及执行该第一分区中的第一操作系统，并驱动必要的影音装置，再依操作者选择何种播放功能(例如DVD)而播放影音。也即操作者可不进入一般电脑的Windows操作系统，而可省下繁冗耗时的开机启动时间以及不需要初始化电脑装置的所有硬件设备。In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcoming that the multimedia audio-visual playback function cannot be performed quickly, there are currently existing designs that can quickly start and play multimedia audio-visual functions. Most of the designs are to divide different hard disk partitions in the hard disk of the computer device, and The first operating system (such as Linux-based operating system) and the second operating system (such as the widely used Windows operating system) are respectively installed in the different hard disk partitions, and the basic input and output system of the computer device is required. (BIOS) for partial modification. Therefore, the operator can choose to execute the computer operation mode or the multimedia playback mode according to the needs. When the operator chooses to execute the multimedia playback mode, after the computer is started, the computer device does not execute the startup program of the general computer device, but directly loads and executes the first operating system in the first partition, and drives the necessary audio-visual devices , and then play video and audio according to which playback function (such as DVD) is selected by the operator. That is to say, the operator does not need to enter the Windows operating system of the general computer, but saves the tedious and time-consuming startup time and does not need to initialize all the hardware devices of the computer device.

然而，在前述的先前技术中，虽然已可达到快速启动及执行多媒体影音播放的功能，但必需在该电脑装置的硬盘中划分出不同的分区来储放另一操作系统及各种多媒体影音播放应用程序，且并需对该电脑装置的基本输入输出系统(BIOS)作部份的修改，使得电脑装置的硬盘磁区复杂化，且该修改过的基本输入输出系统功能，仅能在某一特定产品上使用，而无法适应一般的电脑装置。However, in the above-mentioned prior art, although it has been possible to quickly start and execute the functions of multimedia audio-visual playback, it is necessary to divide different partitions in the hard disk of the computer device to store another operating system and various multimedia audio-visual playback application program, and requires partial modification of the basic input output system (BIOS) of the computer device, which complicates the hard disk sector of the computer device, and the modified basic input output system function can only be used in a specific products, but cannot be adapted to general computer devices.

该先前技术中，由于必需在电脑装置的硬盘中划分出一特定的数据储存磁区来储存启动执行应用程序所需的程序及数据，因此会浪费了该电脑装置的硬盘空间，且该特定划分的特定磁区不允许使用者进行存取与更改，这也限制了使用者对硬盘的使用权。In this prior art, since it is necessary to divide a specific data storage magnetic zone in the hard disk of the computer device to store the programs and data needed to start and execute the application program, the hard disk space of the computer device will be wasted, and the specific division Certain sectors do not allow users to access and change, which also limits the user's right to use the hard disk.

再者，即使克服了现有技术中无法快速执行多媒体影音播放功能的缺点，但对整个电脑系统而言，电脑系统所消耗额定的电功率相当大，在现有技术中，并未见到有即可快捷执行多媒体播放功能、又能达到节能省电功能的设计。Furthermore, even if the shortcoming of being unable to quickly execute the multimedia audio-visual playback function in the prior art is overcome, the rated electric power consumed by the computer system is quite large for the entire computer system. In the prior art, there is no immediate It can quickly execute the multimedia playback function, and can also achieve the design of energy-saving and power-saving functions.
