Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of an electronic installation 10 of the embodiment of the invention.Electronic installation 10 can be personal digital assistant, notebook computer, mobile phone, GPS etc., and it includes a circuit system 100, a Touch Screen 102 and an electric power controller 104.Circuit system 100 is used for realizing the function of electronic installation 10.Touch Screen 102 is coupled to circuit system 100, is used for the image that display system circuit 100 produced.Electric power controller 104 includes a detecting unit 106 and a control module 108, is used for the power supply supply of managing electronic device 10.Detecting unit 106 is coupled to Touch Screen 102, is used for when electronic installation 10 operates in one first electric source modes, detects Touch Screen 102 and whether receives a mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ.Control module 108 is coupled to this detecting unit 106 and circuit system 100, be used for when Touch Screen 102 receives mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ, export a power control signal PWRC_TR to circuit system 100, with control system circuit 100, and then electronic installation 10 operated in a second source pattern.
Therefore, by electronic installation 10, when electronic installation 10 operates in first electric source modes, if Touch Screen 102 receives mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ, then electric power controller 104 may command circuit systems 100 operate in the second source pattern with electronic installation 10.In other words, the user only need pass through Touch Screen 102, and promptly the electric source modes of may command electronic installation 10 thus, can be saved the manufacturing cost of power key.
What pay special attention to is, Touch Screen 102 is not restricted to the Touch Screen of arbitrary form, it can be resistance-type, condenser type or infrared-type touch screen etc., be used for by the finger or the touching or the pressurization of object, make have a resistance on the contact panel, the slight variations value of current potential or light source, be back to electric power controller 104 by interfaces such as RS-232 or USB again, with the management system power supply.In addition, first above-mentioned electric source modes and second source pattern can be common electric source modes, as shutdown, start or dormancy isotype etc.
For instance, when electronic installation 10 operated in shutdown mode or park mode, the user can point or pointer touching Touch Screen 102, to produce mode switching signal MD_SW.After the detecting unit 106 of electric power controller 104 detected mode switching signal MD_SW, control module 108 can produce power control signal PWR_CTR to circuit system 100, made circuit system 100 switch to power on mode or normal mode of operation.On the contrary, when electronic installation 10 operated in normal mode of operation, the user also can switch to dormancy or shutdown mode with electronic installation 10 by the mode of touching Touch Screen 102.Therefore, the user can reach the power management function of electronic installation 10 by Touch Screen 102.
In addition, for guaranteeing the correct work of electric power controller 104, when electronic installation 10 operated in shutdown mode, detecting unit 106 can provide power supply to Touch Screen 102, but the touching that makes Touch Screen 102 finger sensing is to produce mode switching signal MD_SW to detecting unit 106.
On the other hand, the producing method of mode switching signal MD_SW also is not limited to particular job.For instance, please refer to Fig. 2 to Fig. 4, Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 is the synoptic diagram of the different embodiment of generation mode switching signal MD_SW.In Fig. 2, the producing method person of being to use of mode switching signal MD_SW touches a regional A of Touch Screen 102 and produces.That is to say, when electronic installation 10 operates in first electric source modes, if the regional A of Touch Screen 102 receives user's touching signal, then detecting unit 106 can judge that Touch Screen 102 has received mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ, and then by control module 108 control of being correlated with.
In Fig. 3, the producing method person of being to use of mode switching signal MD_SW continues to touch Touch Screen 102 1 Preset Times and produces.In other words, when electronic installation 10 operates in first electric source modes, if Touch Screen 102 continues the touching signal that a Preset Time receives the user, then detecting unit 106 can judge that Touch Screen 102 has received mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ, and then by control module 108 control of being correlated with.
In Fig. 4, the producing method person of being to use of mode switching signal MD_SW is produced to the upper right side slippage by the lower left on Touch Screen 102.In other words, when electronic installation 10 operates in first electric source modes, if Touch Screen 102 receives a slip signals of sliding along a specific direction, then detecting unit 106 can judge that Touch Screen 102 has received mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ, and then by control module 108 control of being correlated with.
Be noted that Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 is the different producing methods in order to explanation mode switching signal MD_SW, in fact, any by click, touch, behavior that mode such as slippage produces mode switching signal MD_SW is all applicable to the present invention, and be not limited thereto.
On the other hand, about the mode of operation of electric power controller 104 in the electronic installation 10, can reduce a power management flow process 50, as shown in Figure 5.Power management flow process 50 comprises following steps:
Step 500: beginning.
Step 502: when electronic installation 10 operates in first electric source modes, detect Touch Screen 102 and whether receive mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ.
Step 504: when Touch Screen 102 receives this mode switching signal requirement MD_SWQ, electronic installation 10 is operated in the second source pattern.
Step 506: finish.
Power management flow process 50 is the mode of operation of electric power controller 104, describes in detail as previously mentioned, does not give unnecessary details at this.Therefore, operate in shutdown or during park mode, can pass through Touch Screen, the power supply of direct managing electronic device at electronic installation 10 as the user.
In sum, by the present invention, the user can reach the open and close machine or the power management of electronic installation by Touch Screen, to reduce the cost of input media.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and every equivalent variations and modification of being done according to claims scope of the present invention all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
