Low-power-consumption docking station and power consumption monitoring method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-power-consumption docking station and a power consumption monitoring method thereof, and the low-power-consumption docking station comprises a processing module which is used for carrying out the interpretation and transcoding of input data, and distributing and outputting the input data to a plurality of peripheral interfaces; the monitoring module is used for monitoring whether peripheral equipment is accessed into the plurality of peripheral interfaces and generating corresponding monitoring signals; the power supply module is used for supplying power to the plurality of peripheral interfaces, the processing module and the monitoring module; one end of the power supply control module is connected with the other end of the monitoring module, the other end of the power supply control module is connected with the other end of the power supply module, and the power supply control module is used for controlling power supply output of the power supply module according to the monitoring signal so as to realize power supply control on the processing module and the peripheral interfaces. When the peripheral interface is in an idle state, the power consumption of internal components of the docking station, such as a processing module, can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the docking station can be prolonged.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a low-power docking station and a power consumption monitoring method thereof. Background technique

[0002] A docking station, also known as a port replicator, is an external device applied to computer systems and portable computer systems. By duplicating or even expanding the ports of a notebook computer, it is possible to make a convenient one-stop connection between a notebook computer and multiple accessories or external devices (such as power adapters, network cables, mice, external keyboards, printers, and external monitors).

[0003] Among the existing docking stations, most of the USB / WUSB docking stations are designed to be plug-and-play, that is, after plugging in a USB cable, a data cable or connecting to the host computer wirelessly, all the drivers in the docking station will start to work , the internal modules related to each external interface are powered on and start working. Usually, the ...
