Start time reduction device and electronic device
First Claim
1. A boot time reducing device for reducing the boot time of an electronic apparatus that boots up in response to a boot instruction, comprising:
- a controller that performs a boot process of said electronic apparatus in response to a boot instruction; and
a boot preparation instructing unit that predicts generation of said boot instruction, and instructs to perform at least part of said boot process at a timing earlier than the predicted boot instruction timing, said controller performing the at least part of said boot process of said electronic apparatus in response to the instruction of said boot preparation instructing unit.

Abstract
With a temporary operating unit being operating, a user provides a boot timing using a boot timing instructing unit. This causes a CPU to compute a boot preparation timing based on the boot timing, and store the boot timing and boot preparation timing to a boot timing memory. At this time, a timer begins a time-keeping operation. After that, the user turns off the power to the temporary operating unit. A boot preparation instructing unit determines whether or not the time being measured by the timer coincides with the boot preparation timing stored in the boot timing memory. When the time measured by the timer coincides with the boot preparation timing stored in the boot timing memory, the boot preparation instructing unit provides the CPU with a boot preparation instruction. This turns on the power to the temporary operating unit, and the CPU performs a boot preparation.
