DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RESTORING FACTORY SETTINGS

Embodiments of this application disclose a factory reset apparatus, to reduce production costs. The apparatus includes a reset switch, a first power supply module, a flip-flop, and a central processing unit CPU, where the flip-flop includes a data input pin, a clock pin, and a true flip-flop output pin, the reset switch is connected to the data input pin, the first power supply module is connected to the clock pin, and the true flip-flop output pin is connected to a first general purpose input/output pin of the CPU; the reset switch generates a low-level reset signal when being pressed, where the reset signal is input into the flip-flop from the data input pin; the flip-flop receives an electrical signal from the clock pin, where a rising edge of the electrical signal is used to trigger the flip-flop to latch a low-level state of the reset signal; and the flip-flop outputs a low-level reset request signal from the true flip-flop output pin according to the latched low-level state of the reset signal, and the CPU starts a factory reset operation according to the reset request signal. The embodiments of this application further provide a factory reset method.
