Computer boot mode control system, has keyboard encoder that checks system power state pin and system mode of computer, and attempts validation of functional signal according to system power state pin and system mode

摘要

The system has an input unit to send a function signal and a system power state pin to report a power state of a computer system. A keyboard encoder receives the functional signal from the input unit and checks the system power state pin, system mode of the computer system, and attempts validation of the functional signal according to the system power state pin and system mode of the computer system. An independent claim is also included for a method for boot mode control using analysis of power state and system mode.
