Description

Subsidiary Power-control-Buttons for Computer}

The present invention allows the user to individually control the power supplied to each device inside the computer from the power supply of the computer, and more specifically, a plurality of auxiliary power sources on the outer surface of the computer body, independent of the main power switch. By attaching a switch and connecting the power cable connected to each device with one-to-one matching, the power is not supplied to the device that is not selected by the auxiliary power switch even when the main power switch is pressed to start the computer. Therefore, the present invention relates to an auxiliary power switch for a computer designed to prevent all devices from being driven at the same time and to drive only a specific device selected by an auxiliary power switch when the computer is driven.

In the conventional computer, since the power control system is composed of a total control method using the main power switch for the entire computer, power is supplied to all the devices collectively or the power is supplied collectively since individual control is not possible for each computer device. It could only play a blocked role. Therefore, all the devices that are not needed when driving the computer are wasted, which leads to unnecessary waste of power, which is a direct / indirect factor that slows down the booting speed of the computer, and shortens the lifespan by increasing the frequency of use of the devices. There are many problems. Furthermore, in the future, with the continuous development of technology, more devices will be developed and installed, and this problem will become more serious.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, by attaching a large number of auxiliary power switch to the computer to selectively use only the devices needed to drive the computer to prevent unnecessary waste of power, to increase the convenience and efficiency of computer use It aims to provide auxiliary power switches for computers with various applications.

The present invention for achieving the above object, relates to the auxiliary power switch for a computer that allows the user to individually control the power supplied to each device in the computer from the computer power supply for each device as follows.

First, before describing the composition of the device, for convenience of explanation, the various devices installed in the computer will be described: motherboard, CPU, memory chip, VGA card, I / O card, sound card LAN card, modem, serial / parallel port, USB Ports, FDD Flappy Disks, CD-ROM Drives, Hard Drives, ZIP Drives, JAZZ Drives, etc., but these are largely essential devices for driving the computer or almost essential to the use of the computer. It can be roughly classified into a device (hereinafter referred to as an auxiliary device) which is not essential to driving and is selectively used according to a user's needs.

The claim above is that the device is essential to the computer's operation or is almost essential to the user. Therefore, the user does not have to decide whether to drive the device each time the user uses the computer. This may be inconvenient for the user. However, in the case of auxiliary devices. Auxiliary devices may or may not be required when you use your computer. Therefore, not every accessory needs to be driven at every computer startup. Nevertheless, in the conventional computer, power supply to all the installed devices (main device and auxiliary device) is controlled by the main power switch collectively, which causes many of the problems listed above as all devices are automatically driven every time the computer is driven. .

Therefore, the present invention is equipped with a plurality of auxiliary power switches (S1, S2, S3 ... Sn) separately from the main power switch (P) on the outer surface of the main body (A) of the computer as illustrated in FIG. By connecting the power cables (L) connected to the plurality of auxiliary devices (M1, M2, M3 ... Mn) mounted in the main body in a one-to-one match with the auxiliary power switch as illustrated in FIG. 2, The power switch for the auxiliary device is controlled primarily by the auxiliary power switch, and the power switch for the entire computer is controlled secondly by the main power switch, so it is selected by the auxiliary power switch even when the main power switch is pressed to start the computer. If the auxiliary device is not supplied with power, all the auxiliary devices are prevented from running at the same time when the computer is running. Gong.

In addition, for convenience of computer users, once the auxiliary power switch is set to the ON state, it is characterized in that it is configured not to be automatically reversed even if the computer is turned off before artificially resetting.

In addition, the auxiliary power switch may be mounted on the outer surface of the computer main body, as shown in Figure 3 may be used as a separate assembly device placed on the desk or attached to a monitor, vending machine or other peripheral devices, Characterized in that it is designed to be used in combination with a number of devices.

Looking at the effects of the present invention configured as described above (1) can prevent unnecessary waste of power by supplying power by selecting only the necessary device of a plurality of auxiliary devices when driving the computer,

(2) Speed up computer booting by minimizing the number of devices driven by blocking unnecessary devices.

(3) By minimizing the frequency of use of the auxiliary device, it can prevent the shortening of service life due to frequent use.

(4) Especially, if a large number of hard disks are installed in the computer (these are not economically burdened due to the low price of the hard disk these days), the auxiliary power switch is configured as described above mainly on the hard disk. The range is so diverse that the effect can be doubled. For example, ① If you install different OS programs for each hard disk and make your own environment, you can get the same effect as using multiple computers with one computer. ② One home or office. If you share a computer with multiple users, assigning users to each hard disk (or auxiliary power switch) will allow you to customize your computer environment to suit your own tastes without disturbing other users. There is no need to share the file, so you can get the same effect as using your own computer, such as not needing to install unnecessary files by other users, especially when you share the computer with your children. Specific auxiliary power switch) It is possible to prevent the damage to the computer environment due to the ignorance and carelessness of the children. ③ Even if the user uses the computer exclusively, ③ different OS and software can be separately installed according to the usage for each drive. The efficiency of computer use can be improved, and ④ Also, if different lock devices are attached to each auxiliary power switch, the access of other users can be blocked at the source, thus ensuring the security of stored data.
