  • Patent number: 11392389
    Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor and a read-only memory communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising a basic input/output system (BIOS)-accessible region of the read-only memory including a first subregion communicatively coupled to the processor via a first communications interface and a second subregion communicatively coupled to the processor via a second communications interface. The information handling system may also include the BIOS, configured to responsive to a read request from the processor to the BIOS-accessible region determine whether a memory address associated with the read request is within a decoding range of the first subregion, cause the processor to access the first subregion via the first communications interface if the memory address is within the decoding range, and cause the processor to access the second subregion via the second communications interface if the memory address is outside the decoding range.

  • Publication number: 20200183704
    Abstract: A method for waking up a computer from a sleep state is provided, the method includes: before controlling a computer to enter a sleep state, a CPU stores picture information currently displayed on a display screen, obtains the stored picture information in a process in which the computer is woken up from the sleep state, displays the picture information on the display screen, and then starts an operating system. According to a manner of the embodiments of the present invention, before the computer starts the operating system, the display screen has lighted up, and a black screen state of the display screen in a process of waking up the computer from the sleep state is ended relatively early, to further reduce a waiting time of a user and improve user experience.
