Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to standby power control of a power supply apparatus, and more particularly, to a power supply apparatus (e.g., a computer) using a power supply apparatus such as a Switching Mode Power Supply And more particularly, to a standby power control apparatus and method for a power supply apparatus.
Devices such as a desktop computer and a portable computer operate as a pair of a main body for performing calculations and a monitor for displaying an operation result and the like in use. These computers are used in restaurants and homes as much as it is difficult to count, not only in the companies that are currently working, but also in a lot. Computers are already popular, as it is very rare that one computer at home or company is not presently available.
The computer is powered or turned off by the power switch of the user. It is troublesome for the user to turn on the computer every time it is used and to turn off the power when not using the computer. It is common sense. Therefore, power dissipation occurs when not in use. Particularly, a device such as a computer activates a minimum device by using a standby power source even when the main power source is turned off in order to operate quickly in operation. For example, standby power is consumed even when the main power is off.
In order to prevent power wastage, a computer has a power saving mode, detects a keyboard input or the like, and automatically performs a power saving function when there is no keyboard input for a predetermined time period, thereby preventing power wastage.
These power saving devices are methods of controlling the main power by detecting the use state of the computer, and standby power is consumed.
Accordingly, various attempts have been made to save power by saving power to standby power when the apparatus is not in use. One of such efforts is the following patent document 1: Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1277197 (2013.06 .13. Registration).
The prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an input for receiving power, a main power controller for converting the power according to a user input and outputting main power, And a standby power controller for receiving an event detection signal from the sensor and outputting standby power by converting the power when the main power is not being output.
This prior art technique reduces standby power providing time, thereby reducing standby power.
However, the above-described conventional technique controls the standby power depending on whether an event signal is sensed or not and whether or not the main power is used. If the user repeatedly uses or does not use the device, frequent standby power on / off control , There is a disadvantage that the use time of the device can be shortened or the damage can be caused by frequent on / off operation of the device.
In addition, since the conventional technique outputs the standby power and outputs the main power only when the event is detected after the standby power is interrupted, there is a disadvantage that the delay occurs in a very short time for the user to use the device in the state where the standby power is blocked .
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve at least the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to minimize standby power in a device (e.g., a computer) using a power supply device such as a Switching Mode Power Supply And to provide a standby power control device for a power supply device and a method thereof.
