For purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent, preferred embodiment cited below particularly, and cooperation Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are described in detail.Instructions of the present invention provides different embodiment that the technical characterictic of the different embodiments of the present invention is described.Wherein, the usefulness that is configured to explanation of each assembly among the embodiment is not in order to restriction the present invention.And the part of drawing reference numeral repeats among the embodiment, is for the purpose of simplifying the description, is not the relevance that refers between the different embodiment.
The embodiment of the invention has disclosed the computer apparatus of a kind of starting-up method under low-temperature condition and this method of use.
Fig. 1 is the configuration diagram of the computer apparatus of the embodiment of the invention.The computer apparatus of the embodiment of the invention (for example comprises power key 110, embedded controller at least, keyboard controller (Keyboard Controller, abbreviate KBC as)) 120, hard disk (Hard Disc Drive abbreviates HDD as) 130, electric battery 140 and temperature sensor (Thermal Sensor) 150.Temperature sensor (HDDThermal Sensor) 131 and well heater (HDD Heater) 133 are installed on the hard disk 130, and this electric battery 140 has electric quantity metering integrated circuit (Gauge Integrated Circuit abbreviates Gauge IC as) 145.
In addition, each inter-module is by general input and output (General Purpose Input/Output, abbreviate GPIO as), System Management Bus (System Management Bus, abbreviate SM-BUS as))/integrated circuit intermediary bus (Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus abbreviates I2C-BUS as) is connected.
At first, embedded controller 120 judges according to trigger signals whether power key 110 is pressed.If power key 110 is not pressed, then embedded controller 120 does not start the computer system of this computer apparatus.If power key 110 is pressed, then embedded controller 120 is obtained hard disk temperature from the temperature sensor 131 of hard disk, and judges whether this hard disk temperature is lower than first predetermined temperature (that is, permissible power supply start-up temperature, for example, 5 ℃).If this hard disk temperature is not lower than this first predetermined temperature (promptly, be equal to or higher than 5 ℃), then embedded controller 120 judges via electric quantity metering integrated circuit 145 whether the cell voltage of electric battery 140 reaches predetermined voltage (that is predetermined start voltage,, for example, 10.2V).If this cell voltage reaches this predetermined voltage, then embedded controller 120 starts this computer system, otherwise does not then start this computer system.
If this hard disk temperature is lower than this first predetermined temperature, then embedded controller 120 is obtained the battery temperature of electric battery 140 via the temperature sensor 150 that is connected with electric quantity metering integrated circuit 145, and judge whether this battery temperature is lower than second predetermined temperature (for example ,-5 ℃).If this battery temperature is lower than this second predetermined temperature, then embedded controller 120 judges that via electric quantity metering integrated circuit 145 whether this battery electric quantity of electric battery 140 is greater than predetermined value (for example, 50% or 80% of total electric weight).If this battery electric quantity is not more than this predetermined value, then embedded controller 120 does not start this computer system.
If this battery electric quantity is greater than this predetermined value, then embedded controller 120 judges via electric quantity metering integrated circuit 145 whether this cell voltage reaches this predetermined voltage.If this cell voltage does not reach this predetermined voltage, then embedded controller 120 does not start this computer system.If this cell voltage reaches this predetermined voltage, then embedded controller 120 starts the well heater 133 of hard disk 130 with heating hard disk 130.Embedded controller 120 is obtained hard disk temperature from the temperature sensor 131 of hard disk 130, and judges whether this hard disk temperature is higher than this first predetermined temperature (for example, 5 ℃).
If this hard disk temperature is not higher than this first predetermined temperature, then make well heater 133 continue heating hard disk 130.If this hard disk temperature is higher than this first predetermined temperature, then embedded controller 120 is closed this well heater 133, and judges via electric quantity metering integrated circuit 145 whether this cell voltage of electric battery 140 reaches this predetermined voltage (for example, 10.2V).If this cell voltage reaches this predetermined voltage, then embedded controller 120 starts this computer system, otherwise does not then start this computer system.
