In this embodiment, the above startup method is specifically applied to the startup process of the set-top box, wherein the loading object of the electronic device can specifically be the operating system, application program, etc. of the set-top box; the target resolution is specifically the resolution set by the user; the boot program Specifically, it is the power-on startup program of the set-top box, such as the uboot program.

Considering that in order to solve the problem of TV screen flickering during the booting process of the set-top box, it is necessary to make the TV screens corresponding to the uboot booting process and the application program APP booting process use the same resolution, and the APP uses the resolution set by the user. Therefore, from the user's point of view, it is considered that a specific resolution cannot be fixed in uboot, so that both uboot startup and APP startup adopt the resolution set by the user, and the resolution is only set once during the startup process of the set-top box. , so in this embodiment, the above-mentioned target resolution is specifically the resolution set by the user.

Please refer to Fig. 2, utilize the starting method of the present invention to start the concrete process of set-top box as follows:

S21: power on.

S22: uboot starts.

S23: Read the resolution set by the user.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which shows the storage structure of the set-top box system, wherein the resolution set by the user is stored in the user parameter area.

Specifically, a code for reading the resolution set by the user can be added in uboot, and the resolution set by the user can be read from the user parameter area through the code when uboot starts.

S24: Display the screen image corresponding to the uboot startup process with the resolution set by the user.

S25: Start the APP, wherein the process of starting the APP does not include the step of initializing the resolution.

Specifically, during the APP initialization process, the resolution cannot be set, otherwise there will be a process of closing and opening, which will cause the boot to flicker. After uboot starts, it reads the resolution set by the user from the user parameter area, and then sets the resolution to output the screen image and starts the APP. During the startup process of the APP, it will not repeatedly call the resolution set by the user to set the output, and keep The resolution output set in uboot is turned on.

Here, it should be noted that since the resolution set by the user saved in the user parameter area is not fixed, it will change correspondingly with different settings of the user, thus requiring that uboot can support multiple resolutions when implementing the present invention.

It should also be noted that when uboot starts the APP, the display output cannot be turned off. If the display output is turned off, the APP needs to reset the resolution. However, it still causes the TV screen to flicker when it is turned on. Therefore, when uboot starts the APP, the display output is not turned off, so as to ensure that the screen image corresponding to the APP startup process is continuously displayed at the same resolution as uboot.

It can be seen that in the starting method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the process of starting the boot program and the process of loading the loading object of the electronic device both use the same resolution, that is, the target resolution to display the corresponding screen image, and the boot program After the execution process ends, when the loading object of the electronic device is loaded and started, the screen image corresponding to the loading process is displayed at the target resolution without interruption. When implementing the present invention, specifically, the electronic device can be set as a set-top box, the boot program can be set as the power-on start-up program of the set-top box, the target resolution can be set as the resolution set by the user, and the loading The object is set as the application program on the set-top box, thereby applying the method of the present invention in the process of starting the set-top box, its guide program and the screen images of the application program startup process have adopted the resolution set by the user, and when starting the application program, Maintain uninterrupted display at the resolution set by the user, that is, when the boot program ends, the display output is not turned off, thus ensuring that the TV will not flicker during the boot process.
