Abstract
A system for boot mode control using analysis of power state and system mode. The system includes an input unit, a system power state pin, and a keyboard encoder. The system power state pin records the power state of a computer system. The keyboard encoder receives a function signal from the input unit, checks the system power state pin and the system mode of the computer system, and attempts validation of the function signal according to the system power state pin and system mode of the computer system.
