For instance, in the time of general use, when user is by electronicsDevice 10 is placed in the upper use of table, and this may be defined as the contextual status of " leave standstill and use ". In addition, real at otherExecute in example, when user uses electronic installation 10 by hand-held mode, this is defined as " hand-held use "Contextual status; In the time that electronic installation 10 is statically placed in the upper use of table by user, this is defined as " leave standstill and use "Contextual status; In the time not using electronic installation 10, electronic installation 10 may be in static condition orThe state that user carries, and be jointly defined as the contextual status of " do not use ". Therefore, electronics dressPut 10 and can, according to contextual status at that time, adjust peripheral element 31 and other electron component with intellectualityPowder source management mode or potency management pattern, and then by limited electric power resource offer because of prevailing circumstances needAsk necessary peripheral element 31 or other electron component, and then reach hommization, economize on electricity and high efficiency useEffect.
Each module and the element of electronic installation 10 will be introduced in detail below. Wherein situation signalling means 21a is electricalConnect (electricallycouple) control module 11, and situation signalling means 21a is mainly in order to outside detectingOne contextual status on boundary, then produces a detection signal. For instance, situation signalling means 21a can be gravitySensor (Gravity-Sensor, is called for short G-Sensor, claims again acceleration transducer, Accelerometer),Temperature sensor (ThermalSensor), gyroscope (Gyroscope), proximity transducer (ProximitySensor), sound transducer (SoundSensor), height sensor (AltitudeSensor), movingState sensor (MotionSensor), optical sensor (LightSensor) or pressure sensor (PressureSensor). For instance, in the time that situation signalling means 21a is gravity sensor, gravity sensor is in order to detectingThe transient acceleration of portable electronic product is beneficial to portable electronic product in the control of particular context state.That is to say, in the time that portable electronic product generation is mobile, gravity sensor is detected the acceleration of a particular orientationDegree and produce a detection signal, detection signal in order to inform control module 11 now electronic installation 10 enteredRow acceleration moves.
Peripheral element 31 is electrically connected control module 11. The function of peripheral element 31 is mainly in order to provide electronicsDevice 10 input or output function. In addition, peripheral element 31 also can be in order to its of extended electronic device 10Its function, for example peripheral element 31 can be a storage device so that data storing and read-write (or periphery unit to be providedPart 31 connects storage device so that data storing and read-write to be provided), peripheral element 31 can be a cable LANNetwork module is to provide extraneous network on-line function or peripheral element 31 by connecting a printer so that data to be providedOutput function. But the embodiment of above-mentioned peripheral element 31 is non-in order to limit the present embodiment. For instance, existIn other embodiment, peripheral element 31 can be a webcam module, a touch panel module, a heat radiation mouldPiece, 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, substantially inputs defeatedGo out system 16 and be electrically connected control module 11. Central processing unit 14 is in order to carry out the main fortune of electronic installation 10Calculate.
In the present embodiment, control module 11 receive and the detection signal that judges situation signalling means 21a to controlThe power supply of peripheral element 31, display module 32 and central processing unit 14 and potency management pattern. Control mouldPiece 11 comprises control module 12 and buffer 13, and buffer 13 comprises several independent bits (bit), everyIndividual independent bits corresponds respectively to the power supply supply of peripheral element 31, display module 32 and central processing unit 14Or potency management pattern. For instance, peripheral element 31a is the network camera of establishing in electronic installation 10,In the time that independent bits corresponding to peripheral element 31a is made as 0, make control module 11 close the power supply of network camera;In the time that 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 independent and specificThe power supply supply of peripheral element 31, display module 32 and central processing unit 14 or potency management pattern. InStoring module 15 is in order to store threshold value and situation list. Threshold value is that a default or user setsCondition value, and the content of threshold value can be used as the judgement of false touch, the judgement of different contextual status, to improve feelingsThe reliability of border signalling means 21a detecting. Threshold value is in order to enter with the detection signal of situation signalling means 21a generationRow is judgement relatively, if detection signal meets corresponding threshold value, control module 11 produces a situation signal.That is to say, situation signal is the comparative result of detection signal and threshold value. If detection signal meet rightThe threshold value of answering, confirms that detection signal changes, and control module 11 produces by the detection signal having changedSituation signal. Control module 11 is searched a situation list by situation signal, and situation list comprises someIndividual contextual model, each contextual model is corresponding to the combination of the different numerical value of several independent bits. When situation letterWhile number meeting a specific contextual model, control module 12 produces a control command, and control command is in order to writeThe independent bits of buffer 13. Then, by writing the numerical value of independent bits with the power supply of change peripheral element 31The power supply supply of supplying mode, display module 32 and central processing unit 14 or potency management pattern.
For make the intelligent power supply supplying mode of setting peripheral elements 31 of the control module 11 of electronic installation 10,The power supply supply of display module 32 and central processing unit 14 or potency management pattern, below will introduce electronicsThe method for managing power supply of device 10, please jointly with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the electronics of the first embodimentThe flow chart of the method for managing power supply of device.
First, user can preset contextual model (for example " hand-held use " pattern and " not using "Pattern), and set peripheral element 31 controlled conditions (threshold value) and the state under each contextual model. Pass throughThe situation that situation signalling means 21 is detected electronic installation 10 changes, to control and automatically set peripheral element 31Power supply supply status.
Situation signalling means 21a (S110) is provided in electronic installation 10, and situation signalling means 21a is electrically connected controlMolding piece 11. Then, carry out a detecting step. In the time that contextual status changes, situation signalling means 21a detectingContextual status is to produce a detection signal (S120). Under this state, the situation signal of electronic installation 10Device 21a detects extraneous contextual status with a default frequency, when situation signalling means 21a detecting contextual statusWhen change, situation signalling means 21a produces corresponding detection signal, and transmits detection signal to control module 11Control module 12. In the present embodiment, electronic installation 10 is for example panel computer, situation signalling means 21aIt is a pressure sensor. Pressure sensor is arranged on the casing of electronic installation 10, and setting position is in userWhen hand-held use, can touch part. In the time of the hand-held use of user electronic installation 10, user can be pressed into feelingsBorder signalling means 21a (pressure sensor), situation signalling means 21a detects user and presses and produce detecting letterNumber, and transmit the control module 12 of detection signal to control module 11. Otherwise, when user does not use electronicsInstall 10 o'clock, user can't be pressed into situation signalling means 21a, and therefore situation signalling means 21a produces tableShow the detection signal of not pressing. For instance, upper if electronic installation 10 was originally positioned over table, situation signalling means21a produces the detection signal of not pressing, and makes the contextual model of electronic installation 10 in " not using ". ThenWhen user picks up electronic installation 10 and uses, user is pressed into situation signalling means 21a, and situation signalDevice 21a produces a detection signal of pressing, and electronic installation 10 is adjusted to the situation mould of " hand-held use "Formula.
In addition, in the present embodiment, user can set voluntarily the sampling of situation signalling means 21a and select demandThe frequency judging to accelerate control module 11, so, can promote the judgement speed of electronic installation 10.
Then, carry out a read step (S130), control module 12 reads a threshold value. At the present embodimentIn, threshold value is stored in memory modules 15, and threshold value can be sent in advance control module 12 or work as controlUnit 12 processed receives after detection signal, then order memory modules 15 transmits threshold value to control module 12, butAbove-mentioned threshold value load mode is non-in order to limit the present embodiment. Then, carry out a comparison step, relatively detectingSignal and threshold value, to confirm whether detection signal meets threshold value (S140). In the present embodiment, doorValue can be set a force value, and for example the originally contextual model in " not using " of electronic installation 10, originalSituation signalling means 21a produces the detection signal of not pressing. If the represented force value of detection signal is greater than doorValue setup pressure value, represent that detection signal meets threshold value, this be defined as situation signalling means 21a byPress; Otherwise, if the force value of detection signal representative is less than or equal to the setup pressure value of threshold value,Represent that detection signal does not meet threshold value, this is defined as situation signalling means 21a and is not pressed. Threshold value is pre-If or the condition value set of user, can be used as the judgement of the judgement of false touch, different contextual status or otherUser's self-definition. The interval of the force value that in the present embodiment, setting pressure sensor can be detected is dividedFor " 0 " is to " 10 ", " 0 " is minimum, and " 10 " are maximum. For instance, if taking false touch as judgment standardTime, threshold value can be made as " 3 ", in the time that detection signal is greater than " 3 ", has been defined as situation signalling means 21aBe pressed, detection signal meets threshold value.
If detection signal does not meet threshold value, get back to step S120 and repeat above-mentioned steps.
If detection signal meets threshold value, produce a situation signal according to the comparative result of detection signal(S150). In the present embodiment, because of the originally contextual model in " not using " of electronic installation 10, detectSurvey the setup pressure value that the represented force value of signal is greater than threshold value, represent that detection signal meets threshold valueRestriction, and control module 12 produces a situation signal whereby. In the present embodiment, situation signal can be divided into" 0 " and " 1 ", " 0 " represents that situation signalling means 21a is not pressed, " 1 " situation signalling means 21a byPress.
Next, carry out a finding step, search a situation list according to situation signal, to produce a controlSystem order (S160). In the present embodiment, situation list is stored in memory modules 15, situation recordTable can first be sent to control module 11 and search with preparation, when situation signal is searched situation list, situationWhen signal meets the particular context pattern in situation list, produce a control command, and carry out filling outWrite control step, the independent bits that wherein control module 12 is filled in buffer 13 according to control command changing orMaintain power supply supply or the potency management pattern (S170) of peripheral element 31 and display module 32. Come in detailSay, in the present embodiment, contextual model comprises two situation moulds of " not using " and " hand-held use " altogetherFormula. Control command can write " 0 " and " 1 " by the corresponding independent bits of contextual model, and " 0 " represents to closeClose, " 1 " represents to open, according to the numerical value of independent bits to adjust or to maintain the power supply supply that makes peripheral element 31Pattern and display module 32 power supply supplying modes.
Each peripheral element 31 and the display module 32 power supply supplying mode in the time of each contextual model is as following table:
Table 1-1
For instance, when control module 12 is searched situation list and situation signal meets " hand-held use "Contextual model time, electronic installation 10 enters the contextual model of " hand-held use " automatically, control command writesThe independent bits of buffer 13, according to the numerical value of independent bits to adjust or to maintain power supply supply or potency management pattern.Now, because control module 12 is judged hand-held use electronic installation 10 of user, therefore control module 11 canAutomatically (as shown above, the state of " hand-held use " is for opening for the power supply supplying mode of adjustment peripheral element 31Open wired local area network module (peripheral element 31b), wireless local area network module (peripheral element 31c), touchControl panel (peripheral element 31d), interface connector (peripheral element 31e) and display module 32, closeNetwork camera (peripheral element 31a)), adjust the limited electric energy of electronic installation 10 with intellectuality, by electric energyBe used on needed peripheral element 31.
