在步驟S450中，當微控制器250已設定為連線模式時，且在處理器270依據喚醒事件將電子裝置200自休眠狀態喚醒前，微控制器250禁能光碟機210。以下將舉範例說明微控制器250禁能光碟機210。 In step S450, when the microcontroller 250 has been set to the wired mode, and before the processor 270 wakes up the electronic device 200 from the sleep state according to the wake-up event, the microcontroller 250 disables the optical disk drive 210. The following illustrates an example of the microcontroller 250 disabling the optical disk drive 210.

舉例而言，圖5A及圖5B是依據本發明一實施例說明微控制器250光碟機210的示意圖，在本實施例中以圖3A中光碟210作為高速USB裝置為例，然不以此為限。請先參照圖5A，電子裝置200更包括可依據軟體指令控制光碟機210電源狀態的電源控制器590，且電源控制器590耦接於微控制器250及光碟機210之間。微控制器250可傳送關閉指令至電源控制器590，而電源控制器590可依據關閉指令中斷光碟機210的電源。此外，微控制器250可傳送啟動指令至電源控制器590，而電源控制器590可依據啟動指令啟動光碟機210。 For example, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are schematic diagrams illustrating the optical disk drive 210 of the microcontroller 250 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The pin is connected to the switch 595, and the microcontroller 250 can output a control signal (pull down or pull down) to the switch 595 via the control pin, and the switch 595 interrupts the optical disk drive 210 and the processor 270 according to the control signal. The connection between the two. For example, when the microcontroller 250 pulls down the control pin, the microcontroller 250 can turn off the switch 595 and the optical disk drive 210 is switched to the off state. In addition, when the microcontroller 250 pulls up the control pin, the microcontroller 250 can turn on the switch 595, and the CD player 210 is switched to the activated state. It should be noted that, in the application of the embodiment, the method of controlling the switch 595 by the microcontroller 250 may be adjusted according to requirements, or the circuit of FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B or a combination thereof may be designed in the electronic device 200 according to requirements, and Limited.

值得一提的是，電子裝置200為了處理網際網路協定(Internet Protocol；IP)租借(leasing)或漫遊(roaming)等狀況，處理器270可提供使用者參數設定或依據預設值(例如，20秒、30秒等)來設定瞬間喚醒隨時連線的維護計時器或其他任何計時器，以定時喚醒電子裝置200，電子裝置200便能維護IP更新(renew)或漫遊。因此，在另一實施例中，當計時器倒數至零時，微控制器250亦可監視到喚醒事件，而當微控制器250已被設定為連線模式時，則禁能光碟機210，其中微控制器250控制光碟機210的實施方式請參照圖5A及圖5B及其說明，於此不再贅述。 It is worth mentioning that the electronic device 200 can provide user parameter settings or according to preset values in order to handle Internet Protocol (IP) leasing or roaming (for example, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.) To set a maintenance timer or any other timer that instantly wakes up the connection at any time to wake up the electronic device 200 periodically, the electronic device 200 can maintain IP renew or roam. Therefore, in another embodiment, when the timer counts down to zero, the microcontroller 250 can also monitor the wake-up event, and when the microcontroller 250 has been set to the wired mode, the optical disk drive 210 is disabled. Where the microcontroller 250 controls the light For the implementation of the disc drive 210, please refer to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B and the description thereof, and details are not described herein again.

接著，處理器270依據喚醒事件自休眠狀態喚醒電子裝置200，以藉由網路介面模組250而透過網路執行相關於連線模式的資料存取程序或連線維護程序，其中連線維護程序包括位址更新程序及漫遊程序其中之一或其組合。 Then, the processor 270 wakes up the electronic device 200 from the sleep state according to the wake-up event, and executes the data access program or the connection maintenance program related to the connection mode through the network through the network interface module 250, wherein the connection maintenance is performed. The program includes one or a combination of an address update program and a roaming program.

舉例而言，當處理器270透過網路介面模組230監視到喚醒封包時，處理器270便可依據喚醒封包或傳送詢問封包至雲端系統(例如，圖1的伺服器130)，以自儲存單元提供使用者在遠端所要求的資料(例如，相片、影片、音訊檔案等)，其中儲存單元可以是任何型態的硬碟機(hard disk drive；HDD)或可移動隨機存取記憶體(random access memory；RAM)、唯讀記憶體(read-only memory；ROM)、快閃記憶體(flash memory)或類似元件或上述元件的組合。 For example, when the processor 270 monitors the wake-up packet through the network interface module 230, the processor 270 can store the query packet to the cloud system (for example, the server 130 of FIG. 1) according to the wake-up packet or the self-storage. The unit provides information (such as photos, videos, audio files, etc.) required by the user at the remote end, wherein the storage unit can be any type of hard disk drive (HDD) or removable random access memory. (random access memory; RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory or the like or a combination of the above.

在另一範例中，當瞬間喚醒隨時連線的維護計時器或其他任何計時器倒數至零時，處理器270可依據此喚醒事件透過網路介面模組230進行IP位址更新程序，以處理動態主機組態協定(dynamic host configuration protocol；DHCP)伺服器(例如，圖1的網路連接器170)變更政策(policy)或IP位址時效過期的情形。或者，處理器270亦可依據此喚醒事件透過網路介面模組230進行漫遊程序，以使電子裝置200移動至其他網路或存取點(Access Point；AP)後，能夠與雲端系統(例如，圖1的伺服器 130)重新建立連線。 In another example, when the wake-up maintenance timer or any other timer is counted to zero instantaneously, the processor 270 can perform an IP address update procedure through the network interface module 230 according to the wake-up event to process A dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server (eg, network connector 170 of FIG. 1) changes the policy or IP address expiration. Alternatively, the processor 270 can perform a roaming process through the network interface module 230 according to the wake-up event, so that the electronic device 200 can be moved to another network or an access point (AP), and can be connected to the cloud system (for example, , the server of Figure 1 130) Re-establish the connection.

需說明的是，在處理器270進行上述資料存取程序或連線維護程序後，微控制器250可傳送啟動指令至圖5A的電源控制器290，或者微控制器250可經由微控制器250的控制腳位輸出控制信號(例如，上拉訊號)至開關595，以致能光碟機210，其中微控制器250控制光碟機210的實施方式請參照圖5A及圖5B及其說明，於此不再贅述。接著，處理器270將電子裝置200切換至休眠狀態(例如，S3休眠狀態)。在另一實施例中，處理器270亦可提供參數設定以供使用者關閉連線模式，而處理器270接收到連線模式相關的關閉操作後，便可設定微控制器250為非連線模式，且微控制器250致能光碟機210。 It should be noted that after the processor 270 performs the above data access procedure or the connection maintenance procedure, the microcontroller 250 may transmit a startup command to the power controller 290 of FIG. 5A, or the microcontroller 250 may be via the microcontroller 250. The control pin outputs a control signal (for example, a pull-up signal) to the switch 595 to enable the optical disk drive 210. The embodiment of the microcontroller 250 controlling the optical disk drive 210 is described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B and the description thereof. Let me repeat. Next, the processor 270 switches the electronic device 200 to a sleep state (eg, an S3 sleep state). In another embodiment, the processor 270 can also provide parameter settings for the user to turn off the connection mode, and the processor 270 can set the microcontroller 250 to be disconnected after receiving the connection mode related shutdown operation. Mode, and the microcontroller 250 enables the optical disk drive 210.

藉由上述控制方法，當使用者透過雲端系統(例如，圖1的伺服器130)存取本實施例的電子裝置200(例如，圖1的筆記型電腦190)的資料時，或者當電子裝置200進行IP位址更新程序或漫遊程序時，便無須擔心光碟機210運作而發出的吵雜聲響影響到周遭不知情的人員。以下將舉一範例說明應用本發明實施例之流程。 With the above control method, when the user accesses the data of the electronic device 200 (for example, the notebook computer 190 of FIG. 1) of the present embodiment through the cloud system (for example, the server 130 of FIG. 1), or when the electronic device When 200 IP address update procedures or roaming programs are performed, there is no need to worry about the noise of the optical disk drive 210 being affected by the uninformed people around. An example of the flow of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

圖6是依據本發明一實施例說明電子裝置200的控制方法的流程圖。請參照圖6，本實施例的控制方法適用於圖2的電子裝置200。下文中，將搭電子裝置200中的各項模組及元件說明本發明實施例所述之控制方法。 FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating a method of controlling an electronic device 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the control method of the present embodiment is applied to the electronic device 200 of FIG. Hereinafter, the control methods described in the embodiments of the present invention will be described with respect to various modules and components in the electronic device 200.

在本範例中，圖1的智慧型手機110接收到使用者對於電子裝置200的儲存單元所儲存相片的瀏覽操作時，圖1的伺服器130便會發送喚醒封包至電子裝置200，其中電子裝置200處於S3休眠模式。微控制器250先監視到經由網路介面模組230所觸發的喚醒事件(步驟S610)，網路介面模組230上拉連接於微控制器250的喚醒腳位，接著微控制器250判斷是否設定為瞬間喚醒隨時連線(IOAC)模式(步驟S620)。若微控制器250係設定為瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式，則微控制器250及處理器270啟動瞬間喚醒隨時連線安靜喚醒模式(步驟S630)。接著，微控制器250藉由控制其所具備的GPIO中的控制腳位來切斷處理器270與光碟機210之間的連線，以禁能光碟機210(步驟S640)。當光碟機210被禁能後，處理器270便可將電子裝置200自S3休眠狀態喚醒而不開啟電子裝置200的顯示單元(例如，液晶顯示器(Liquid Crystal Display；LCD))，且自儲存單元中提供使用者所要求的相片(步驟S650)。處理器270在經過步驟S650的資料存取程序後且在將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠模式前，透過微控制器250致能光碟機210(步驟S660)，處理器270再將電子裝置200切換至S3睡眠模式(步驟S695)。 In this example, the smart phone 110 of FIG. 1 receives the user's When the browsing operation of the photos stored in the storage unit of the electronic device 200, the server 130 of FIG. 1 sends a wake-up packet to the electronic device 200, wherein the electronic device 200 is in the S3 sleep mode. The microcontroller 250 first monitors the wake-up event triggered by the network interface module 230 (step S610), the network interface module 230 pulls up the wake-up pin connected to the microcontroller 250, and then the microcontroller 250 determines whether It is set to the instantaneous wake-up connection (IOAC) mode (step S620). If the microcontroller 250 is set to instantly wake up the ready-to-wire mode, the microcontroller 250 and the processor 270 initiate an instant wake-up to connect to the silent wake-up mode (step S630). Next, the microcontroller 250 cuts off the connection between the processor 270 and the optical disk drive 210 by controlling the control pin in the GPIO provided therein to disable the optical disk drive 210 (step S640). After the optical disk drive 210 is disabled, the processor 270 can wake up the electronic device 200 from the S3 sleep state without turning on the display unit of the electronic device 200 (for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD)), and the self-storage unit The photo requested by the user is provided (step S650). The processor 270 enables the optical disk drive 210 through the microcontroller 250 after the data access procedure of step S650 and before switching the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep mode (step S660), and the processor 270 switches the electronic device 200 again. Go to the S3 sleep mode (step S695).

此外，若微控制器250在步驟S620中判斷微控制器250並未設定為瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式，則處理器270將依據正常模式將電子裝置200自S3休眠狀態喚醒(步驟S670)，處理器270執行正常作業(例如，作業系統讀取光碟機210、處理器270開啟其顯示單元等)(步驟S680)。接著，處理器270判斷是否將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠狀態(步驟S690)，若否，則重新返回步驟680而處理器270繼續運作，若是，則處理器270將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠狀態(步驟S695)。 In addition, if the microcontroller 250 determines in step S620 that the microcontroller 250 is not set to the instant wake-up connection mode, the processor 270 will wake the electronic device 200 from the S3 sleep state according to the normal mode (step S670), and process The 270 performs a normal job (for example, the operating system reads the optical disk drive 210, the processor 270 turns on its display unit, etc.) (step S680). Next, the processor 270 determines whether the electronic device is to be The device 200 switches to the S3 sleep state (step S690). If not, the process returns to step 680 and the processor 270 continues to operate. If so, the processor 270 switches the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep state (step S695).

另一方面，前述實施例皆為電子裝置200自休眠模式喚醒的流程，而在電子裝置200進入休眠模式前，電子裝置200可提供使用者將電子裝置200設定為連線模式(例如，瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式)，以下將舉一實施例說明設定連線模式的流程。 On the other hand, the foregoing embodiments are all processes for waking up the electronic device 200 from the sleep mode, and before the electronic device 200 enters the sleep mode, the electronic device 200 can provide the user to set the electronic device 200 to the wired mode (for example, instantaneous wake-up In the case of the connection mode at any time, an embodiment will be described below to explain the flow of setting the connection mode.

在一實施例中，電子裝置200可提供參數設定給使用者設定是否啟動連線模式，或者依據電子裝置200初始設定來提供連線模式。首先，處理器270便判斷電子裝置200是否啟動連線模式，若處理器270判斷為電子裝置200啟動連線模式，則將微控制器250設定為連線模式。在一範例中，處理器270更可將光碟機210設定為可移除(removable)狀態，藉以避免作業系統不斷讀取光碟機210。接著，處理器270判斷是否將電子裝置200切換至休眠狀態，若處理器270判斷為將電子裝置200切換至休眠狀態，則將電子裝置200切換至休眠狀態，若處理器270判斷為不將電子裝置200切換至休眠狀態，則處理器270執行相關於連線模式的資料存取程序。 In an embodiment, the electronic device 200 can provide a parameter setting to the user to set whether to initiate the connection mode, or provide a connection mode according to the initial setting of the electronic device 200. First, the processor 270 determines whether the electronic device 200 initiates the connection mode. If the processor 270 determines that the electronic device 200 initiates the connection mode, the microcontroller 250 is set to the connection mode. In an example, the processor 270 can further set the optical disk drive 210 to a removable state to prevent the operating system from continuously reading the optical disk drive 210. Next, the processor 270 determines whether to switch the electronic device 200 to the sleep state. If the processor 270 determines that the electronic device 200 is switched to the sleep state, the electronic device 200 is switched to the sleep state, and if the processor 270 determines that the electronic device is not When the device 200 switches to the sleep state, the processor 270 executes a data access procedure associated with the connection mode.

舉例而言，圖7是依據本發明一實施例說明電子裝置200的控制方法的流程圖。請參照圖7，本實施例的控制方法適用於圖2的電子裝置200。下文中，將搭電子裝置200中的各項模組及元件說明本發明實施例所述之控制方法。 For example, FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling an electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 7, the control method of the present embodiment is applied to the electronic device 200 of FIG. Hereinafter, the control methods described in the embodiments of the present invention will be described with respect to various modules and components in the electronic device 200.

首先，處理器270判斷是否啟動瞬間喚醒隨時連線(IOAC)模式(步驟S710)，若是，則處理器270透過應用程式(例如，啟動瞬間喚醒隨時連線應用程式(IOAC Application；IOAC APP))或外掛(Plugin)作業設定啟動瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式(步驟S720)，且處理器270將微控制器250設定為瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式(例如，致能暫存器(register)中EC_IOAC之值)(步驟S730)。接著，處理器270在將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠模式前，先判斷連線模式是否變動(步驟S740)，若變動，則回到步驟S710以重新判斷是否啟動瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式。反之，若未變動，則處理器270判斷是否將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠狀態(步驟S745)，若否，當使用者透過雲端系統(例如，圖1的伺服器130)存取電子裝置200中儲存單元的資料時，處理器270便可執行資料存取程序(步驟S750)，以提供使用者資料，且接著再次執行步驟S745。反之，若是，處理器270將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠狀態。 First, the processor 270 determines whether to activate the Instantaneous Wake-up Time (IOAC) mode (step S710), and if so, the processor 270 passes the application (for example, the Instantaneous Wakeup Application (IOAC Application; IOAC APP)) Or the plug-in (Plugin) job setting starts the instant wake-up connection mode (step S720), and the processor 270 sets the microcontroller 250 to instantaneously wake up the ready-to-wire mode (for example, enabling the EC_IOAC in the register) Value) (step S730). Next, before switching the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep mode, the processor 270 first determines whether the connection mode is changed (step S740). If the processor 270 changes, the process returns to step S710 to re-determine whether to activate the instantaneous wake-up connection mode. On the other hand, if there is no change, the processor 270 determines whether to switch the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep state (step S745). If not, when the user accesses the electronic device 200 through the cloud system (for example, the server 130 of FIG. 1) When storing the data of the unit, the processor 270 can execute the data access program (step S750) to provide the user profile, and then perform step S745 again. Otherwise, if so, the processor 270 switches the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep state.

此外，若處理器270在步驟S710中判斷為未啟動連線模式，則處理器270不將微控制器250設定為瞬間喚醒隨時連線模式(例如，禁能暫存器(register)中EC_IOAC之值)(步驟S760)。此時，處理器270更可將光碟機210設定為固定狀態，以使作業系統可持續讀取光碟機210。處理器270繼續執行原先作業(步驟S770)，且處理器270在將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠模式前，先判斷連線模式是否變動(步驟S780)，若變動，則回到步驟S710 以重新判斷是否啟動連線模式。反之，若未變動，則處理器270判斷是否將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠狀態(步驟S785)，若否，則返回步驟770以繼續執行原先作業，且接著再次執行步驟S785。反之，若是，處理器270將電子裝置200切換至S3休眠狀態(步驟S790)。 In addition, if the processor 270 determines in step S710 that the connection mode is not activated, the processor 270 does not set the microcontroller 250 to instantaneously wake up the ready-to-wire mode (eg, disables the EC_IOAC in the register). Value) (step S760). At this time, the processor 270 can further set the optical disk drive 210 to a fixed state, so that the operating system can continuously read the optical disk drive 210. The processor 270 continues to perform the original operation (step S770), and the processor 270 determines whether the connection mode is changed before switching the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep mode (step S780). If the process changes, the process returns to step S710. To re-determine whether to initiate the connection mode. On the other hand, if it has not changed, the processor 270 determines whether to switch the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep state (step S785), and if not, returns to step 770 to continue the execution of the original job, and then proceeds to step S785 again. Otherwise, if so, the processor 270 switches the electronic device 200 to the S3 sleep state (step S790).

綜上所述，在本發明實施例所述的電子裝置進入休眠模式前，處理器可設定微控制器為連線模式。當電子裝置處於休眠狀態時，微控制器可依據喚醒事件及連線模式的設定來控制光碟機的電源狀態。藉此，當使用者透過雲端系統存取本發明實施例的電子裝置的資料時，或者電子裝置進行例行的連線維護作業時，便能以安靜的方式進行作業，且無須擔心光碟機運作而發出的吵雜聲響影響到周遭不知情的人員。 In summary, before the electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention enters the sleep mode, the processor can set the microcontroller to be in the connection mode.
