Abstract
In some examples, an electronic device receives, while an operating system is running in the electronic device, a request to access a function of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), the request containing a web address of the function of the BIOS, and routes, based on the web address of the function of the BIOS, the request through a web-based interface to a domain that includes the function of the BIOS.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause an electronic device, comprising to:
- receive, while an operating system is running in the electronic device, a request to access a function of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), the request containing a web address of the function of the BIOS;
- and
- route, based on the web address of the function of the BIOS, the request through a web-based interface to a domain that includes the function of the BIOS.
An electronic device comprising:
- a web-based interface;
- at least one processor;
- and
- an operating system executable on the at least one processor to submit a request to the web-based interface for accessing a function of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) in a cloud, the request containing a web address of the function of the BIOS,
- the web-based interface to route, based on the web address, the request to the function of the BIOS in the cloud.
A method of an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving, while an operating system is running in the electronic device, a request to access a function of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), the request containing a web address of the function of the BIOS;
- and
- route, based on the web address of the function of the BIOS, the request through a web-based interface to a domain that includes the function of the BIOS.
