Below will introduce in detail each module and the element of electronic installation 10.Wherein situation signalling means 21a is electrically connected (electrically couple) control module 11, and situation signalling means 21a then produces a detection signal mainly in order to detect an extraneous contextual status.For instance, situation signalling means 21a can be gravity sensor (Gravity-Sensor, be called for short G-Sensor, claim again acceleration transducer, Accelerometer), temperature sensor (Thermal Sensor), gyroscope (Gyroscope), proximity transducer (ProximitySensor), sound transducer (Sound Sensor), height sensor (Altitude Sensor), dynamic pickup (Motion Sensor), optical sensor (Light Sensor) or pressure transducer (PressureSensor).For instance, when situation signalling means 21a was gravity sensor, gravity sensor was beneficial to portable electronic product in the control of particular context state in order to the transient acceleration of detecting portable electronic product.That is to say, when the portable electronic product generation was mobile, gravity sensor was detected the acceleration of a particular orientation and is produced a detection signal, and detection signal is in order to inform that control module electronic installation 10 11 this moment has carried out acceleration and moved.
Peripheral element 31 is electrically connected control module 11.The function of peripheral element 31 is mainly in order to provide the function that inputs or outputs of electronic installation 10.In addition, peripheral element 31 also can be in order to other function of extended electronic device 10, and for example peripheral element 31 can be a storage device to provide data storing and read-write (or peripheral element 31 connects storage device so that data storing and read-write to be provided), peripheral element 31 to can be a wired local area network module to provide extraneous network on-line function or peripheral element 31 by connecting a printer so that the data output function to be provided.But the embodiment of above-mentioned peripheral element 31 is non-in order to limit the present embodiment.For instance, in other embodiments, peripheral element 31 can be a webcam module, a touch panel module, a radiating module, a processor frequencies control module, an audio module, a radio reception module or a bluetooth (Bluetooth) module.
In addition, central processing unit 14 is electrically connected control module 11 and memory modules 15, and Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 16 is electrically connected control module 11.Central processing unit 14 is in order to carry out the main computing of electronic installation 10.
In the present embodiment, control module 11 receives and judges that the detection signal of situation signalling means 21a is with power supply and the potency management pattern of control peripheral element 31, display module 32 and central processing unit 14.Control module 11 comprises control module 12 and buffer 13, and buffer 13 comprises several independent bits (bit), and each independent bits corresponds respectively to power supply supply or the potency management pattern of peripheral element 31, display module 32 and central processing unit 14.For instance, peripheral element 31a is the network camera of establishing in the electronic installation 10, when independent bits corresponding to peripheral element 31a is made as 0, makes control module 11 close the power supply of network camera; When independent bits corresponding to peripheral element 31a is made as 1, make the power supply of control module 11 opening network video cameras.In addition, the numerical value of each can be controlled separately.In other words, each independent bits corresponds to power supply supply or the potency management pattern of independent and specific peripheral element 31, display module 32 and central processing unit 14.Memory modules 15 is in order to store threshold value and situation list.Threshold value is a pre-if conditional value that a user sets, and the content of threshold value can be used as the judgement of false touch, the judgement of different contextual status, to improve the fiduciary level of situation signalling means 21a detecting.Threshold value compares judgement in order to the detection signal with situation signalling means 21a generation, if detection signal meets corresponding threshold value, then control module 11 produces a situation signal.That is to say, the situation signal is the comparative result of detection signal and threshold value.If detection signal meets corresponding threshold value, confirm that namely detection signal changes, control module 11 produces the situation signal by the detection signal that has changed.Control module 11 is searched a situation list by the situation signal, and the situation list comprises several contextual models, and each contextual model is corresponding to the combination of the different numerical value of several independent bits.When the situation signal met a specific contextual model, control module 12 produced a control command, and control command is in order to write the independent bits of buffer 13.Then, the numerical value by writing independent bits is with power supply supply or the potency management pattern of the power supply supplying mode, display module 32 and the central processing unit 14 that change peripheral element 31.
For control module 11 intelligent power supply supply or the potency management patterns of setting power supply supplying mode, display module 32 and the central processing unit 14 of peripheral element 31 that make electronic installation 10, below will introduce the method for managing power supply of electronic installation 10, please jointly with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram of method for managing power supply of the electronic installation of the first embodiment.
At first, the user can preset contextual model (for example " the hand-held use " pattern and " not using " pattern), and sets peripheral element 31 controlled conditions (threshold value) and state under each contextual model.Situation by situation signalling means 21 detecting electronic installations 10 changes, with the power supply supply status of control and automatic setting peripheral element 31.
Situation signalling means 21a (S110) is provided in electronic installation 10, and situation signalling means 21a is electrically connected control module 11.Then, carry out a detecting step.When contextual status changed, situation signalling means 21a detecting contextual status was to produce a detection signal (S120).Under this state, the situation signalling means 21a of electronic installation 10 is with a default extraneous contextual status of frequency detecting, when situation signalling means 21a detecting contextual status changed, situation signalling means 21a produced corresponding detection signal, and the transmission detection signal is to the control module 12 of control module 11.In the present embodiment, electronic installation 10 for example is panel computer, and situation signalling means 21a is a pressure transducer.Pressure transducer is arranged on the casing of electronic installation 10, can touch part when setting position uses in the user is hand-held.When the hand-held use of user electronic installation 10, the user can be pressed into situation signalling means 21a (pressure transducer), and situation signalling means 21a detects the user and presses and produce detection signal, and transmits detection signal to the control module 12 of control module 11.Otherwise when the user did not use electronic installation 10, the user can't be pressed into situation signalling means 21a, so situation signalling means 21a produces the detection signal that expression is not pressed.For instance, if electronic installation 10 originally was positioned on the table, situation signalling means 21a produces the detection signal of not pressing, and makes electronic installation 10 be in the contextual model of " not using ".Then the user picks up electronic installation 10 and when using, the user is pressed into situation signalling means 21a, and situation signalling means 21a produces a detection signal of pressing, and electronic installation 10 then is adjusted to the contextual model of " the hand-held use ".
In addition, in the present embodiment, the user can set up the sampling of situation signalling means 21a on their own and select demand to accelerate the frequency of control module 11 judgements, so, can promote the judgement speed of electronic installation 10.
Then, carry out a read step (S130), control module 12 reads a threshold value.In the present embodiment, threshold value is stored in the memory modules 15, threshold value can be sent in advance control module 12 or after control module 12 receives detection signal, order memory modules 15 to transmit threshold value to control module 12, but above-mentioned threshold value load mode be non-in order to limit the present embodiment again.Then, carry out a comparison step, relatively whether detection signal and threshold value meet threshold value (S140) with the affirmation detection signal.In the present embodiment, threshold value can be set a force value, and for example electronic installation 10 originally was in the contextual model of " not using ", and namely original situation signalling means 21a produces the detection signal of not pressing.If the represented force value of detection signal represents then that greater than the setup pressure value of threshold value detection signal meets threshold value, this is defined as situation signalling means 21a and is pressed; Otherwise, if the force value of detection signal representative is less than or equal to the setup pressure value of threshold value, representing that then detection signal does not meet threshold value, this is defined as situation signalling means 21a and is not pressed.Threshold value is pre-if the conditional value that the user sets can be used as the judgement of the judgement of false touch, different contextual status or other user's self-definition.In the present embodiment, the interval of the force value that the set pressure sensor can be detected is divided into " 0 " to " 10 ", and " 0 " is minimum, and " 10 " are maximum.For instance, if during take false touch as judgment standard, then threshold value can be made as " 3 ", when detection signal during greater than " 3 ", is defined as situation signalling means 21a and is pressed, and then detection signal meets threshold value.
If detection signal does not meet threshold value, then get back to step S120 and repeat above-mentioned steps.
If detection signal meets threshold value, then the comparative result according to detection signal produces a situation signal (S150).In the present embodiment, originally be in the contextual model of " not using " because of electronic installation 10, the represented force value of detection signal represent that then detection signal meets the restriction of threshold value, and control module 12 produces a situation signal whereby greater than the setup pressure value of threshold value.In the present embodiment, the situation signal can be divided into " 0 " and " 1 ", and " 0 " represents situation signalling means 21a and is not pressed, and " 1 " situation signalling means 21a is pressed.
Next, carry out a finding step, search a situation list according to the situation signal, to produce a control command (S160).In the present embodiment, the situation list is stored in the memory modules 15, the situation list can be sent to first control module 11 and search with preparation, when the situation signal is searched the situation list, when the situation signal meets a particular context pattern in the situation list, then produce a control command, and carry out filling in the control step, wherein control module 12 is filled in the independent bits of buffer 13 to change or to keep power supply supply or the potency management pattern (S170) of peripheral element 31 and display module 32 according to control command.Specifically, in the present embodiment, contextual model comprises two contextual models of " not using " and " the hand-held use " altogether.Control command can write " 0 " and " 1 " by the corresponding independent bits of contextual model, " 0 " expression is closed, " 1 " expression is opened, according to the numerical value of independent bits to adjust or to keep power supply supplying mode and the display module 32 power supply supplying modes that make peripheral element 31.
Each peripheral element 31 and display module 32 power supply supplying mode such as the following table when each contextual model:
Table 1-1
Figure BDA0000145479340000061
For instance, when control module 12 is searched the situation list and situation signal when meeting the contextual model of " hand-held use ", electronic installation 10 enters the contextual model of " the hand-held use " automatically, control command writes the independent bits of buffer 13, according to the numerical value of independent bits to adjust or to keep power supply supply or potency management pattern.At this moment, because control module 12 is judged the hand-held electronic installation 10 that uses of user, therefore control module 11 can be adjusted the power supply supplying mode of peripheral element 31 (as above shown in the table automatically, the state of " the hand-held use " is for opening wired local area network module (peripheral element 31b), wireless local area network module (peripheral element 31c), contact panel (peripheral element 31d), interface connector (peripheral element 31e) and display module 32, close network camera (peripheral element 31a)), adjust the limited electric energy of electronic installation 10 with intellectuality, electric energy is used on the needed peripheral element 31.
