Fast start

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, systems, and apparatuses of a fast start system. A computing device may automatically restart itself based on a restart schedule from a fast start network server. The computing device may initiate a booting sequence and retrieve login credentials of a user stored in the computing device. Using the stored login credentials, the computing device can login the user to the system. In response to successfully logging in the user, the computing device may initialize at least one startup application on the computing device. Once the user is successfully logged in, the computing device may automatically lock the computing device to the user to prevent any unauthorized use of the workstation.

1. A method, comprising:
automatically restarting, by a first computing device, the first computing device at a first time based on a restart schedule particular to a location of the first computing device and a time zone of the location of the first computing device; initiating a booting sequence of the first computing device; retrieving stored login credentials of a user; automatically logging in the user using the stored login credentials; initializing at least one startup application on the first computing device; locking the first computing device to the user; and automatically restarting, by a second computing device, the second computing device at a second time based on the restart schedule, the second time being the first time plus a randomly selected time interval.
