Booting mode configuration method, electronic device and computer program product

An electronic device, comprising:

• a configuring module, configured to configuring a booting mode of the electronic device;
• a determining module, configured to determine whether a configured booting mode is detected;
• and
• a performing module, configured to perform a booting program corresponding to the configured booting mode if the configured booting mode is detected, wherein if the configured booting mode is not detected, the determining module further determines whether an access point is detected for connection;
• when the access point is detected, the configuring module configures the electronic device as a satellite mode and the performing module performs a booting program corresponding to the satellite mode;
• and
• when the access point is not detected and a wired connection is enabled, the determining module determines whether a PPPoE Active Discovery Offer (PADO) packet or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Offer packet is received, the configuring module configures the electronic device as the satellite mode or a base mode according to the received PADO packet or the received DHCP Offer, respectively, and the performing module performs a booting program corresponding to the satellite mode or the base mode.

A computer program product for execution on a booting mode configuration system, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion configured to determine whether a configured booting mode is detected;
• an executable portion configured to, if the configured booting mode is detected, perform a booting program corresponding to the configured booting mode;
• an executable portion configured to, if the configured booting mode is not detected, determine whether an access point is detected for connection, wherein:
• when the access point is detected, the electronic device is configured as a satellite mode and a booting program corresponding to the satellite mode is performed;
• and
• when the access point is not detected and a wired connection is enabled, it is determined whether a PPPoE Active Discovery Offer (PADO) packet or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Offer packet is received to configure the electronic device as the satellite mode or a base mode, and a booting program corresponding to the satellite mode or the base mode is performed.
