Power supply managing method and computer system using same

Abstract

The invention provides a power supply managing method and a computer system using the same. The computer system is provided with a plurality of energy parameter modules used for enabling the computer system to have an energy-saving function. When a user is under a first energy-saving operation condition, a first energy parameter module is adopted by the computer system, so as to enable the computer system to be in a first energy-saving control mode, and when the user is under a second energy-saving operation condition, a second energy parameter module is adopted by the computer system, so as to enable the computer system to be in a second energy-saving control mode. The computer system provided by the invention can automatically switch to a suitable energy-saving operation mode according to an operation condition of the user, thereby being capable of achieving an energy-saving purpose without the help of special manual adjustment of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power management method and a computer system with energy-saving and power-saving functions by applying the method. Background technique [0002] The vigorous development of computers in today's society has brought many conveniences to human life, so computers have become an indispensable and important tool in modern life. For example, people can use computers to process data to make work easier and faster. The effect of audio-visual entertainment can be achieved through the computer, and even various types of information can be obtained through the computer and the Internet. [0003] In addition, since the environmental protection issue of energy saving and carbon reduction is constantly being raised, how to make the computer that has been in use for a long time to exert the effect of energy saving and power saving has become an important issue worthy of exploration and concern. [0004] Furthermore, most of the current com...

[0007] However, the time configuration program provided in the existing computer operating system has the following disadvantages because it is not humanized enough:

[0010] However, if the user who enters the sensing range does not want to use the computer, but is only in the use position, the computer will still return to the normal use state, and the effect of energy saving and power saving cannot be maintained.

In addition, or when the user wants to use a computer presentation program (such as Microsoft PowerPoint) to report to most people, he needs to leave his seat frequently to facilitate the report or explanation, or some computer users may need to leave their seat for a short time for a short time. , but do not want the computer to switch to the system standby state because the sensor cannot detect that the user is in the sensing range within this short period of time, which will cause trouble for the user in the report

[0011] Furthermore, the sensors proposed in these patents must always be turned on to achieve the desired function. However, although the continuous power consumption sensor has limited power consumption, it has already contradicted the original design intention of energy saving

[0012] 2. When users use computer applications to play multimedia audio-visual files or watch streaming media (Streaming Media) via the Internet, they usually do not operate the computer for a long period of time, which will cause users to watch multimedia audio-visual files or When streaming media, the display is turned off or enters the system standby state suddenly because the computer starts to perform power-saving actions

[0013] In order to avoid the above situation, many users will deliberately set the time parameter in the time configuration program to a longer waiting time, or turn off the power saving function. Will remember to set the time parameters in the time configuration program to the original state, or turn on the power saving function again

[0014] In view of this, many existing streaming media or multimedia audio-visual playback software can automatically turn off part of the power saving function when being executed. When sitting for a period of time, the computer will continue to consume power

[0015] 3. When most users use the computer, the computer usually executes multiple work programs at the same time in a multitasking manner. It is often difficult for users to judge, or even lazy to select the appropriate time parameter module. Therefore, the computer is often not in the best state. Power control mode, after a long time of use, it will still waste a lot of power

[0016] As can be seen from the above description, the methods and time configuration programs for energy saving and power saving in existing computers have significant shortcomings and deficiencies and need to be improved urgently.
