Enhanced fast reset in mobile wireless communication devices and associated methods

摘要

A mobile wireless communications device (310) includes a user-visible peripheral, such as a display (312), and a processor (316). A reset management block (315) is associated with the processor to manage reset of the device. The processor includes the use of an operating system (OS) which is resettable along with a reset of a state of the user-visible peripheral. The operating system is also resettable without resetting the state of the user-visible peripheral to avoid a user-visible change therein.
