Description

Utilize the image display system of infrared inspector for saving consumption electric power
The present invention relates to a kind of image display system, relate in particular to a kind of image display system that utilizes infrared inspector for saving consumption electric power.
Usually all be provided with electricity saver in the present computer equipment, the power supply that is used to avoid unnecessary is wasted, a kind of the most frequently used electricity saver is to utilize a supervisory programme to monitor the user mode of each input media, and comes the power supply output of controlling computer to reach purpose of power saving according to the result who monitors.The control principle of supervisory programme institute foundation is: if do not use any input media a period of time user, this expression user may leave computer or not need to use computer at present, therefore just the partial circuit of computer can be closed or make it to enter wait (standby) state to save power supply.If do not use any input media yet through user after a while again, then supervisory programme can make computer advance one one and enter time-out (suspend) state.At last, if do not use any input media yet through one section long time user, then supervisory programme is closed computer (off).When the user began to touch a certain input media again, electricity saver can revert to user mode with computer.Recovering the needed time need decide on the state before recovering, and normally time-out is of a specified duration more, and needed release time is also just long more.
The advantage of this known electricity saver is the user mode of the automatic monitoring computer of its meeting and handles it to reach purpose of power saving that still this control method also has very big shortcoming.When the user left computer, supervisory programme need just can be made a response through after a certain default stand-by period, and this makes many electric power be wasted in the wait process.As desire to avoid the generation of this situation, the default stand-by period just essential the shortening, can cause bigger puzzlement to the user yet shorten the stand-by period.The user in the process of using, if take a quick nap or pause, just might make supervisory programme with partial circuit for example monitor display screen turn off, this makes the user can't continue to see display screen.Display screen just can revert to user mode after the user must remove to touch key or mouse, and this causes very big interference to the user.
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of image display system that utilizes infrared detector to save the power supply supply, to address the above problem.This image display system is provided with an infrared detector, is used to detect the user who is positioned at before the image display system.When the user left image display system, this display device can enter power down mode immediately; And when the user returned, this display device can be recovered user mode at once, so the user does not need to do any action and comes recovery system.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this, and a kind of image display system promptly is provided, and it includes: a display circuit is used for the display image picture; One power circuit is used for controlling according to a power control signal power supply supply of described display circuit; One infrared detector is used to detect and is positioned at the user before the described image display system and produces the relevant detection signal; And a control circuit, it is electrically connected on described infrared detector, is used for producing corresponding power control signal according to the detection signal that described infrared detector produced, to control the power supply supply of described power circuit to described display circuit.
Describe the present invention and advantage thereof in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing illustrated embodiment, wherein
