Data display method for digital storage device
A data display method for digital storage devices implemented on a computer executable platform. The invention reads data through a dynamic setting of a Basic Input/Output System and a card read controller, and selectively displays the data on a display device without entering the operating system. This greatly improves the convenience of using digital storage devices.
1. A data display method for a removable digital storage device connected to a computer executable platform to selectively display data of the digital storage device, comprising the steps of:
starting a Basic Input/Output System of the computer executable platform;
waiting a selected period of time to receive a data display mode activation signal of an input device;
on receiving the data display mode activation signal within the selected period of time, detecting whether the removable digital storage device is connected to the computer executable platform;
on detecting that the removable digital storage device is connected to the computer executable platform, performing the following steps without running an operating system:
initializing the computer executable platform, including initializing a chipset, and setting access for a memory, each according to settings of the Basic Input/Output System;
processing initialization operation of a display mode;
establishing an access mode for the data of the removable digital storage device;
reading the data and temporarily storing the data in the memory of the computer executable platform; and
displaying the data on the computer executable platform.
2. The data display method of claim 1 , further including the step of initializing an operating system after the selected period of time of waiting has elapsed if the data display mode activation signal has not been received.
3. The data display method of claim 1 , wherein the data display mode activation signal of the input device is generated by depressing one or more keys.
4. The data display method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a signal of the input device to dynamically control the displayed data.
5. The data display method of claim 1 , wherein the reading the data further includes a data decoding process.
6. The data display method of claim 1 , further including the step of initializing an operating system on detecting that the removable digital storage device is not connected to the computer executable platform.
