Embodiment
For let above-mentioned and other purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, will combine accompanying drawing that preferred embodiment of the present invention is specified below.
Figure 1A shows the preferred embodiment of the computer system of using display device of the present invention.As shown in the figure, this computer system comprises host apparatus 110, screen 131, keyboard 132, mouse 133 etc.Because the manner of execution of screen 131, keyboard 132, mouse 133 field those of ordinary skill is for this reason known, so repeat no more.
This host apparatus 110 couples this display device 121 through a connecting line 140, makes this display device 121 can receive and show the state of host apparatus 110.Wherein, this connecting line 140 can be the connecting line of USB (USB), RS232 or other transmission interface.Figure 1B shows the preferred embodiment of display device of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, it is other that this display device 121 is installed in screen 131, so that the user can learn the state of host apparatus 110 immediately.In addition, this display device 121 not only can show the state of host apparatus 110, but also has extended function, can be connected in series another display device.
Fig. 1 C shows another embodiment of the computer system of using display device of the present invention.As shown in the figure, this display device 121a couples another display device 121b with the serial connection mode.When display device 121a and display device 121b saw through connecting line 140 and be coupled to host apparatus 110, the user just can understand the state of these host apparatus 110 inner each assemblies simultaneously.
Fig. 2 shows the block scheme of the preferred embodiment of display device of the present invention.As shown in the figure, this display device 121 has a converter 210, a controller 220, motor sub-assembly 230 and display module 240.This host apparatus 110 provides a package (packet) PK1 according to the state of itself.This converter 210 can read package PK1.The package PK1 that this controller 220 is read according to converter 210, whether decision exports a control signal SC.This motor sub-assembly 230 rotates according to control signal SC, and then by the degree of rotation of this display module 240 according to motor sub-assembly 230, shows the state of host apparatus 110.
In addition; In preferred embodiment of the present invention; This display module 240 is an analog gauge outfit; It has multiple scale simultaneously, and for example number percent (%) scale, power wattage scale and temperature scale are in order to the utilization rate of the utilization rate of the utilization rate that shows CPU, storer, power supply unit, use wattage or system temperature.For example, if display device 121 is when showing the temperature of host apparatus 110, then the temperature scale of display module 240 can be lighted, and other scale (like number percent scale and wattage scale) can not lighted.
Fig. 3 A is the embodiment synoptic diagram of package form of the present invention.Please consult simultaneously shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 A; This package PK1 comprises address 31 and data 32, and when this converter 210 coupled host apparatus 110, host apparatus 110 can provide one to number to converter 210; And by this converter 210 according to the address among the package PK1 31, the decision whether need receive data 32.
When address 31 equals numbering that host apparatus 110 provided, the data 32 that this converter 210 receives among the package PK1, and data 32 are sent to this controller 220; If address 31 is not equal to the numbering that host apparatus 110 is provided, converter 210 just can not receive data 32.
Fig. 3 B is the block scheme of the preferred embodiment of converter of the present invention.As shown in the figure, this converter 210 further comprises first interface 211, second interface 212 and judging unit 213.This first interface 211 is coupled to host apparatus 110, and in order to receive package PK1, this second interface 212 is in order to expand.In the present embodiment, this first interface 211 and this second interface 212 are USB interface, but when practical application, also can use other transmission interface instead.This judging unit 213 is in order to judge whether address 31 equals the numbering that host apparatus 110 is provided, if then export data 32 to controller 220.
Fig. 3 C is the block scheme of the preferred embodiment of host apparatus of the present invention.As shown in the figure, this host apparatus 110 further comprises body assembly 111, detection components 112 and processing components 113.Wherein, this detection components 112 provides a detection signal SD according to the state of body assembly 111.This processing components 113 produces package PK1 according to detection signal SD.This body assembly 111 can be power supply unit, central processing unit or storer.In the present embodiment, this processing components 113 sees through a software program, and intercepting detection signal SD is to produce package PK1.
Fig. 4 shows the block scheme of display device serial connection of the present invention.Fig. 4 is similar with Fig. 2, and difference is that Fig. 4 has two display device 121a and 121b.Because operation principles and the inner structure of display device 121a and 121b are all identical with aforementioned display 121, so no longer carry out repeat specification.
Please combine Fig. 3 B and shown in Figure 4, because this display device 121a comprises second interface 212 of the function with expansion, therefore, display device 121a can couple another display device 121b.In the present embodiment, display device 121a is connected with the serial connection mode with 121b, in order to read package PK1, the PK2 that host apparatus 110 is provided simultaneously.
Fig. 5 is another embodiment synoptic diagram of package form of the present invention.Please suppose that address 61 equals the numbering of converter 210a, and address 64 equal the numbering of converter 210b simultaneously with reference to figure 4 and above stated specification literal, then converter 210a can receive data 62, and data 62 are sent to controller 220a; And converter 210b receives data 65, and data 65 are sent to controller 220b.
In addition, when display device 121a and 121b showed the state of host apparatus 110 simultaneously, the electric current of moment may be excessive; Therefore; Can between package PK1 and PK2, set up gap (gap) 63, and pass through the length of control gap 63, operate simultaneously to avoid display device 121a and 121b.
In sum, utilize display device provided by the present invention, the user can observe the current state of host apparatus at any time and easily, thereby suitably uses a computer system; Take place as emergency condition, the user also can in time learn, is convenient to take measures and avoids computer system impaired.
