QUICK START METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18339925 Titled 'QUICK START METHOD'
Simplified Explanation
This application offers a quick and efficient method for dealing with software and hardware faults in devices. When a software fault occurs, the application allows for a restart request to be made through a customized interface. This request prompts the firmware to restart the system software, such as the operating system or hypervisor, without the need to reset the hardware. This saves time by skipping the hardware initialization process.
Similarly, when a hardware fault occurs, the application triggers a suspend request. This request freezes the process of the system software and instructs the firmware to store a snapshot of the hardware device's status information. Afterward, a hardware reset operation is performed. Once the hardware is reset, the application restores the hardware device to its previous state based on the stored snapshot.
Overall, this application provides a simplified and efficient way to handle software and hardware faults in devices, minimizing downtime and improving the overall user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a quick start method. When a software fault occurs in a device, a restart request is called through a customized interface that complies with an instruction set specification, to indicate firmware to restart system software; and an image of the system software such as an operating system, a hypervisor, or a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is loaded to restart the system software, without resetting hardware. This skips a hardware initialization process, and shortens time required for restarting the device. When a hardware fault occurs in the device, a suspend request is triggered to indicate to freeze a process of system software, and indicate firmware to store a snapshot of status information of a hardware device and perform a hardware reset operation. After the hardware is reset, the hardware device is restored to a status before reset based on the snapshot.
