Abstract
A method of starting an electronic device includes: receiving a first wireless signal carrying a first identification data by a wireless receiver before the electronic device enters a normal operating state; comparing the first identification data with a valid data; obtaining an account name and a password according to the first identification data if the first identification data matches the valid data and logging in to an operating system with the account name and the password so as to allow the electronic device to enter the normal operating state; and not logging in to the operating system if the first identification data does not match the valid data.

A method of starting an electronic device having a wireless receiver, an embedded controller and a processing unit, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by the wireless receiver, a first wireless signal carrying a first identification data by the wireless receiver while the electronic device is in a sleep state;
- comparing, by the embedded controller, the first identification data with a valid data;
- determining that the first identification data matches the valid data;
- obtaining, by the embedded controller, an account name and a password according to the first identification data;
- providing, by the embedded controller, the account name and the password to the processing unit;
- executing, by the processing unit, the start procedure of an operating system upon receiving the account name and the password from the embedded controller;
- and
- logging in to the operating system, by the processing unit, with the account name and the password so as for the electronic device to enter the normal operating state.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a wireless receiver configured to receive a first wireless signal while the electronic device is in a sleep state, wherein the first wireless signal comprises a first identification data;
- a processing unit;
- and
- an embedded controller storing a valid data, configured to perform the following while the electronic device is in the sleep state:
- compare the first identification data with the valid data;
- and
- when the first identification data matches the valid data:
- obtain an account name and a password according to the first identification data;
- and
- provide the account name and the password to the processing unit;
- and
- wherein the processing unit is configured to perform the following:
- execute the start procedure of an operating system upon receiving the account name and the password from the embedded controller while the electronic device is in the sleep state;
- and
- log in to the operating system with the account name and the password so as to enter the normal operating state.
