System, method and apparatus of simplifying interpretation of suspend and wake-up functions in operating system for information appliance (IA)

摘要

A system, method and apparatus for simplifying the interpretation of suspend and wake-up functions in an operating system for information appliance is disclosed. An input device integrates the suspend and wake-up functions into the same key, and a communication signal receiver accepts the signal from the input device. The key maps for the input device are classifed into two categories, one to make the operating system to judge the system of the information appliance under a suspend status and the other to make the operating system to judge the information appliance under a non-suspend status. If the information appliance is under the suspend status, the operating system evokes a wake-up process. If the information appliance is under the non-suspend status, the operating system evokes a suspend process and sets the receiver to only accept the signal from the input device.
