Description
本發明係有關於電腦系統,特別係有關於一種電腦系統之省電裝置與方法。The present invention relates to computer systems, and more particularly to a power saving device and method for a computer system.
可攜式電腦系統,例如:筆記型電腦、個人數位助理(PDA)或行動電話,係依賴電池供電以運作。由於電池的供電量是有限的,若電池之電量耗盡則可攜式電腦系統將無法繼續使用,因此如何延長可攜式電腦系統的使用時間一直是發展趨勢。除了提高電池的蓄電量之外,此類電腦系統亦可藉由各種省電方法來達成延長使用時間的目的。舉例來說,可攜式電腦系統可以透過省電控制裝置來關閉不需使用的裝置,例如:無線網路或藍芽,以達到省電的目的,如此可延長可攜式電腦系統的使用時間。Portable computer systems, such as notebook computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or mobile phones, rely on battery power to operate. Since the power supply of the battery is limited, if the battery is exhausted, the portable computer system will not be able to continue to use, so how to extend the use time of the portable computer system has been a trend. In addition to increasing the storage capacity of the battery, such computer systems can also achieve extended use time by various power saving methods. For example, a portable computer system can use a power-saving control device to turn off devices that are not needed, such as wireless networks or Bluetooth, to save power, thus extending the life of the portable computer system. .
在習知的電腦系統中,關閉無線裝置的方法係透過觸擊鍵盤上的一個按鍵來控制無線裝置的開關情形。當按下無線裝置控制按鍵以關閉無線裝置時,無線裝置控制器會收到來自鍵盤的一卸除指令,而直接關閉無線裝置。反之,當按下無線裝置控制按鍵以開啟無線裝置時,無線裝置控制器會收到來自鍵盤的一連接指令,而直接開啟無線裝置。由此可知,習知電腦系統中關閉無線裝置的方法係僅關閉無線裝置而已,但是其他相關裝置,例如:無線裝置控制器、或連接無線裝置控制器及電腦系統的連接裝置,卻仍然保持在開啟狀態,使得大量的電力消耗在這些當無線裝置關閉以後即不需使用的裝置上,而縮短電腦系統可使用的時間。In conventional computer systems, the method of turning off the wireless device controls the switching of the wireless device by tapping a button on the keyboard. When the wireless device control button is pressed to turn off the wireless device, the wireless device controller receives a dismount command from the keyboard and directly shuts down the wireless device. Conversely, when the wireless device control button is pressed to turn on the wireless device, the wireless device controller receives a connection command from the keyboard and directly turns on the wireless device. It can be seen that the method of turning off the wireless device in the conventional computer system only turns off the wireless device, but other related devices, such as the wireless device controller, or the connection device connecting the wireless device controller and the computer system, remain The on state allows a large amount of power to be consumed on these devices that are not needed after the wireless device is turned off, thereby shortening the time available for the computer system.
有鑑於此,本發明提供一種用於電腦系統中之省電控制模組,以解決習知技術存在之問題。於一實施例中,該省電控制模組包含一無線裝置控制器、一微控制器及一連接裝置,其中該無線裝置控制器更包含一邏輯電路。該無線裝置控制器連接到該微控制器及一無線裝置,且藉由該連接裝置連接至一電腦。當按下該電腦之一開關以關閉該無線裝置時,首先,該邏輯電路收到來自該開關發送的一卸除指令(Detach),接著該無線裝置控制器發送一系統控制中斷(System Control Interrupt)到該微控制器,然後該微控制器根據該系統控制中斷發送一關閉指令給該無線裝置控制器,使該無線裝置控制器關閉該無線裝置、該連接裝置及該微控制器,更關閉該無線裝置控制器中除了該邏輯電路以外的電力。當按下該電腦之該開關以開啟該無線裝置時,首先,該邏輯電路收到來自該開關發送的一連接指令(Attach),然後開啟該無線裝置控制器,接著,該無線裝置控制器開啟該無線裝置與該連接裝置,並且重置該微控制器。In view of this, the present invention provides a power saving control module for use in a computer system to solve the problems of the prior art.
