And the reality of state switching signal 102_S is made mode, one of them pin position of general input and output (GPIO) that embedded controller had can be connected to e-book control module 104, and send a high potential signal to e-book control module 104 by this general input and output pin position, with notice e-book control module 104 and begin follow-up e-book processing operation.So switching mode of state switching signal 102_S, in the time of can detecting computer system 10 in condition monitoring unit 102 and be in starting state (for example previously described when current value is higher than predetermined critical), cancellation immediately being provided with state switching signal 102_S (for example drawing high its current potential to noble potential); Same, when detecting computer system 10 in condition monitoring unit 102 and being in electronic book mode (when for example previously described current value is lower than a predetermined critical and receives enabling signal), the potential value of state switching signal 102_S can be switched to electronegative potential.
That Fig. 5 shows is the power supply supply status figure of computer system under starting state, is that example describes with the system architecture of the computer system 10a of second embodiment.As computer system 10a during at starting state, condition monitoring unit 102a is provided with state switching signal 102_S with cancellation as indicated above, use control power supply switch unit 122 and close, make every system element (comprising: logical operation module 120 and hard disk etc.) of computer system 10a obtain required running voltage.E-book control module 104 then is unlocked because of power supply switch unit 124, and stops to receive the running voltage that power-supply unit 100 provides.
10a is in starting state when computer system, when yet the user wishes to enter electronic book mode with the reading electronic book data, after then can utilizing start button 126 and condition monitoring unit 102a that the power supply supply status of computer system 10a is adjusted into non-started state, enter electronic book mode again.Condition monitoring unit 102a also detects simultaneously start button 126 and whether because of pushing of user enabling signal trig_S is set except the power supply state that continues to monitor power-supply unit 100.Detect the input of enabling signal trig_S as condition monitoring unit 102a, when the magnitude of current still is higher than predetermined critical (being that computer system 10 is in starting state) simultaneously, condition monitoring unit 102a will send a control look-at-me int_S to logic controller 116.Logic controller 116 is according to the indication of control look-at-me int_S, send system control to operating system and interrupt (System Control Interrupt, SCI), enter in order to the notifying operation system and to await orders or dormant state, make power-supply unit 100 stop supplies power supplys give most system element, reduce the magnitude of current below predetermined critical, also just make computer system 10a be in non-started state.
The power supply switching state figure that computer system 10a enters behind the electronic book mode then is shown in Fig. 6.No matter computer system 10a is in just to receive enabling signal trig_S behind the non-started state and enter the e-book module or receive enabling signal trig_S and switch to non-started state when starting state earlier, enter electronic book mode again, e-book control module 104 all begins to obtain required running voltage because of power supply switch unit 124 is closed, and continues to receive the operation that electronic book data was handled and shown to the data switch unit 106, display unit 108, data access unit 110, network control unit 112 and the start button 126 that operate voltage with other.At this moment, 120 of logical operation module are opened because of power supply switch unit 122 and are stopped to receive running voltage.
In the present embodiment, be to be provided with start button 126, so 10a is in non-started state in computer system, but do not receive as yet enabling signal trig_S during, then earlier not Switching power switch unit 122 and 124 state receive till the enabling signal trig_S (that is computer system 10a enters electronic book mode) that is set up up to condition monitoring unit 102a.
Those skilled in the art can be according to Fig. 5 and shown in Figure 6, system architecture in conjunction with the 3rd embodiment, change with rotation monitoring means 130 enabling signal trig_S is set, make condition monitoring unit 102a setting or cancellation that state switching signal 102_S and network control switching signal 102_SN are set, receive the running voltage condition to change e-book control module 104.
Fig. 7 is the e-book control module 104 embodiment calcspars of computer system.Wherein comprise control command processing unit 1040, storage data control module 1042, network data control module 1044, electronic book data processing unit 1046 and video data processing unit 1048.
