[0033] As for the second embodiment of the present invention, if the DDC-CI protocol is not used, only registers are added to save the power consumption data, and the host 600 performs query, that is the third embodiment of the present invention. It is the same as the embodiment 1 in the access mode.

[0034] For the first embodiment and the third embodiment of the present invention, since there will be the situation that the host computer does not know the register address, the following solutions are needed: all have EDID information in the display, which is stored in a flash rom, and the content includes the manufacturer, Supported resolution, time parameters of line and field scanning, etc. We can add another item to it, which is the storage address of power consumption information. In this way, for different displays, the address of the power consumption information used may be different, but we can get the address by reading the EDID, and then access according to the ad...

Abstract

The invention provides a display which comprises a power module, an image processing module, a display interface module and a power consumption sensing module, wherein, the power consumption sensing module is connected with the power module and is used for sensing the power consumption information of the display, is also connected to the display interface module and feeds back the power consumption information through the display interface module. The invention also provides a computer which comprises a host and a display, wherein, an information transmission channel is arranged between the host and the display; the display comprises a power module, an image processing module, a display interface module and a power consumption sensing module; the power consumption module is connected withthe power module and is used for sensing the power consumption information of the display; and the power consumption module is also connected to the display interface module and feeds back the power consumption information to the host through the information transmission channel. By utilizing the invention, the power consumption information of the display can be obtained at real time, thus providing support for displaying the whole power consumption information of the computer for users.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer and a display capable of feeding back power consumption information of the display. Background technique [0002] Currently, as the public's awareness of energy conservation increases, computer equipment capable of displaying its own power consumption has been developed. Its principle is to measure the power consumption information of the computer by installing sensors in the computer, and submit it to the CPU for processing, thereby displaying the power consumption of the computer to the user in real time. [0003] However, this method only works on devices such as laptops and desktop hosts. For desktop monitors or notebook external monitors, since the power supply is completely separated from the host computer, the power consumption information of the monitors has not been faithfully calculated into the power consumption of the entire computer. Contents of the invention [0004] The purpose of the present inven...
