The method comprises extracting a pack of video data in which is embedded a plurality of data size information of a plurality of video data segments for playback. The plurality of data size information from the extracted pack of video data is read to determine the plurality of video data segment bitrates. The plurality of video segment bit rate is calculated from the plurality of data size information of the plurality of video data segments. The operating frequency of the processor is set according to the video data segment bitrate of each video data segment of the plurality of video data segments while playing the video data segment. As a result, the optimum processor operating frequency is utilized in order to provide the best quality of video playback while reducing the power consumption to a minimum.

Abstract: An electronic device with accelerated boot process and a method for the same are proposed. When the host of the electronic device is in the off mode or standby mode, users can input a normal boot signal or a fast boot signal to activate the host. The boot signal is encoded by an encoder for producing a corresponding code. The host determines whether the input signal is the normal boot signal or the fast boot signal according to the received code. If the received code is the normal boot signal, the host performs a normal boot process. If the received code is the fast boot signal, an instant launcher directly launches application programs specified in the fast boot signal and blocks the start of unnecessary application programs. The boot process of the electronic device can be effectively accelerated, and users can define several boot modes themselves to meet different requirements.
