Abstract
An embedded device and an initialization method of the same in which a data loss warning and a reset mode selection menu is displayed, in response to a hard reset command to allow a user to confirm and/or select either cold booting or warm booting after being notified of data loss.
Claims11
An embedded device including a data storage unit having stored therein a configuration setting data and user data, said embedded device having a hard reset mode that when selected initializes said embedded device by deleting said user data from said data storage unit, said embedded device having a soft reset mode that when selected initializes said embedded device while preserving at least a portion of said user data in said data storage unit, said embedded device comprising:
- a controller receiving a hard reset selection signal, and providing, in response to said hard reset selection signal, a confirmation message alerting a user of said embedded device of selection of said hard reset mode.
A method of initializing an embedded device that includes a data storage unit having stored therein a configuration setting data and a user data, said embedded device having a hard reset mode that when selected initializes said embedded device by deleting said user data from said data storage unit, said embedded device having a soft reset mode that when selected initializes said embedded device while preserving at least a portion of said user data in said data storage unit, said method comprising:
- receiving a hard reset selection signal indicating selection of the hard reset mode by a user of said embedded device;
- and
- providing, in response to said hard reset selection signal, a confirmation message alerting said user of selection of said hard reset mode.
A device with an embedded storage space to backup user data, comprising:
- a programmed computer processor notifying a user of data loss and displaying a reset mode selection menu, in response to a hard reset command, to allow the user to confirm and/or select either the hard reset or a soft reset preserving the data, after the data loss notification.
A method of hard resetting a device having an embedded storage space to backup user data, comprising:
- warning the user of deletion of all user data before hard resetting the device and deleting the user data in response to a hard reset command by the user.
