Abstract
Disclosed is a method for controlling a computing apparatus including a cover having a display on one surface facing into a keyboard when the cover is in a closed state. The method comprises, in response to receiving a command to turn on an automatic booting mode of the computing apparatus, storing a configuration value corresponding to an ON state of the automatic booting mode in a memory; when the cover is in the closed state, detecting an opening of the cover via a sensor of the computing apparatus; and, in response to detecting the opening of the cover when a system status of the computing apparatus is an S5 state defined by the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard, performing, via a controller of the computing apparatus, an operation of entering from the S5 state to an S0 state defined by the APCI standard based on the configuration value stored in the memory.
