Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system that can determine if a device is set to turn on or off a power supply. This is done by checking the power status of the device. If the device is set to turn on, the power switch is turned on, and if it is not, the power switch is turned off. This allows for easy control of which devices are powered and which ones are not.

Problems solved by technology

With the continued improvement and development of faster components used in information processing systems, the complexity of heat management for the components also increase.
Incidentally, the effective heat management for information processing systems becomes a big challenge.

Abstract

A method for providing over-heating protection of a target device within an information processing system is disclosed. A determination is made whether or not a power status of the information processing system is set to turn on a main power of a power supply device. If the power status of the information processing system is set to turn on a main power of a power supply device, a power switch of the target device is turned on; otherwise, another determining is made whether or not the target device is set to operate based on a user's setting. If the target device is set to operate based on the user's setting, the power switch of the target device is turned on; otherwise, the power switch of the target device is turned off.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 100,588, filed on Dec. 9, 2013, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to electronic devices in general, and, in particular, to a method for preventing over-heating of an electronic device within an information processing system.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]With the continued improvement and development of faster components used in information processing systems, the complexity of heat management for the components also increase. Incidentally, the effective heat management for information processing systems becomes a big challenge.[0006]In general, the power status of an information processing system can typically be defined at least as follows:[0007]S0: operational status, the actual status is in normal operation;[0008]S1: first standby status, which will cut off th...
