  • Systems, methods, and apparatus for providing efficient startup to computers with peripheral devices
    Patent number: 7600105
    Abstract: The present invention is broadly directed to systems and methods for providing efficient startup procedures in computer systems. One embodiment of the present disclosure provides an efficient startup procedure by implementing a streamlined boot code procedure. In this embodiment, the computer system performs normal BIOS initialization routines, but executes one of a number of different boot code sequences, based on an operational configuration selected by a user. In another embodiment, a single power key is provided, and a user selects an operational configuration using a mouse (and in response to a visual prompt displayed on the screen). In this embodiment, the system may utilize specifically customized boot code routines, or alternatively may utilize customized BIOS routines. The present invention is broadly directed to systems and methods for providing efficient startup procedures in computer systems.
