Problems solved by technology

But in order to make the "CD player module" in the computer system run smoothly like this, the consumer also needs to buy a keyboard specially made by the manufacturer, and cannot choose a general-purpose keyboard voluntarily.
In other words, consumers also lose the opportunity to choose a keyboard brand or style
[0009] In addition to causing restrictions on consumers' purchase or assembly of computers, the above-mentioned "disc player module" requires additional layout lines and components, so in addition to causing problems in space allocation, it will also increase the cost of the overall computer, resulting in consumption. Those who need to pay a higher price can enjoy the CD playback function when the computer is not turned on

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Please refer to figure 1 , this figure shows the main process of driving the optical disc drive to play voice data provided by the present invention when the computer system is not fully powered on. Generally speaking, in terms of typical desktop computer related equipment currently on the market, in addition to a "normal power-on button" on the casing panel of the main computer, there will also be a "keyboard power-on button" on the upper right corner of the keyboard used. key", so that consumers can directly start the computer through the power button on the keyboard. In the embodiment of the present invention, the "keyboard power-on key" can be used to allow the computer to perform the function of playing the optical disc in a partial power-on state where the operating system is not loaded.

[0020] In the present invention, consumers only need to modify the settings in the basic input / output system (BIOS) (basic input output system;) components to activate the "dis...

Abstract

First, using BIOS determines whether a staring key on a voice playback device or a staring key on a computer trigs the starting operation. When the starting operation is trigged by the staring key on a voice playback device, only part of components on main board and part of periphery components are initialized. The said components on main board include sound chip, and the said periphery components include optical drive and keyboard. User is allowed for setting keybutton on keyboard. Thus, data on optical disk in optical drive can be operated through keybutton on keyboard. Voice can be played back through sound chip and speaker from the data read.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a design of using a desktop computer to play an audio CD, in particular to a design and a related method for playing an audio CD when a part of the desktop computer is turned on. (2) Background technology [0002] With the rapid development and progress of electronic technology, multimedia computers combined with high picture quality and high sound quality are widely loved and used by the public, and the degree of computer popularization has been accelerated. The surge in consumption of computer products has also driven the development of related industries more vigorously and rapidly, and made related computer peripheral products grow rapidly and change with each passing day. These computer peripheral products include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, printers, etc...not only further enhance the diversity of computer functions, but also provide consumers with more convenient application tools. [0003] In...
