Description

200428195 V. Description of the invention (1) The technical field to which the invention belongs The present invention relates to a power-saving way of automatic shutdown, and in particular to a technology for performing automatic shutdown according to user habits. Prior technology Due to the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, some manufacturers have formulated agreements on power management for computers that consume considerable power. The first thing I have to mention is the so-called Energy Star tar power management standard. Computers that can meet this standard are characterized by a chipset that must provide specific power management functions and reduce power consumption. . In addition, common power management functions include Advanced Power Management (Advanceci Pc) we; r _

Management (APM), and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Among them, Advanced Power Management is a set of power management specifications previously promoted by Microsoft, Intel and several other well-known manufacturers. However, the advanced power management specifications have gradually been replaced by the newer advanced configuration and power interface specifications. In addition, the advanced configuration and power interface are a new generation of power management specifications jointly developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba. This kind of power management specification can not only control the power and condition used by various devices in the system, but also idle devices in the system to temporarily rest without consuming power. In addition, keyboard startup and other functions are also one of the functions supported in the advanced configuration and power interface specifications. The general power management objects mainly include three categories: overall system, computer screen, and hard disk drive. The following classifications are used for explanation: (1) Overall system: Generally, it is possible to set the time when entering various power-saving states.

11270twf.ptd Page 4 200428195 V. Description of Invention (2) Machine. The power saving state can be roughly divided into three modes. Please refer to the flowchart of the four modes of power management shown in Figure 1. Except for Normal Mode (such as M102), the other three are power saving modes. If the power consumption is arranged in descending order, the order is Doze Mode (such as M104), Standby Mode (such as M106), and Suspend Mode (such as M108). . Φ (2) Computer screen: Most of the time can be set to turn off and the mode to turn off. Setting the off time allows the screen to turn off automatically when it is not used for a certain period of time. The off mode is divided into displaying the black screen (B 丨 ack Screen), stopping the horizontal / vertical sync signal and displaying V / H Sync + Black Screen on the black screen. ), And indeed power off the screen, turn off the three. Because most monitors currently support display power management ::: ^ (Display Power Management System, DPMS) 5 + 22 two ί, the board also supports this agreement, then You can set when: 丌 a time ', turn off part of the power of the display, so that the amount of electricity used by; can also protect the glory screen from excessive Φ magnetic (:) machine; to set at-fixed time If it is not used in the system, then the power saving generally used before s is set first—a time, in which most of the driver ’s actions are performed by the user. If the user does not Few chances to perform on the machine, on iz: Xingguan! . Therefore, when the user can choose to use the machine and rarely use it, the user chooses a longer time, and the & machine becomes idle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for automatically shutting down according to user habits. In the present invention, a power management program is used to record and analyze the user's habits as the time basis for the next automatic shutdown. Learning According to the user's usage habits, the time when the machine turns off automatically can be fine-tuned. It increases the flexibility of selecting the automatic shutdown time, and reduces unnecessary power waste when the user selects an inappropriate automatic shutdown time. From the user's point of view, the present invention is a good tool for achieving a balance between power saving and ease of operation. The invention proposes a method for automatically shutting down according to user habits. This method first presets an average shutdown time and a minimum reference value. Then, according to the obtained time interval value of automatic shutdown, the comparison is performed. Compare the relationship between the time interval value of the automatic shutdown and the minimum reference value. When the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is less than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as invalid data. When the time interval value of the shutdown is greater than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as a piece of accumulated data, and the accumulated data is recorded in a accumulated data table at the same time. Finally, according to the data in this cumulative data table, the average shutdown time before the change is used as the time basis for the next automatic shutdown. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the time interval value of automatic shutdown is regarded as accumulated data. There are two cases.

11270twf.ptd Page 6 200428195 V. Description of the Invention (4) When the interval value is greater than the average shutdown time ’The interval value of this automatic shutdown is regarded as a cumulative data without change. In addition, if the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is less than the average shutdown time and greater than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as a fixed cumulative data. Whether the cumulative data is unchanged or the cumulative data is cumulative data, it must be recorded in the cumulative data table. Among them, the unaltered cumulative data is directly regarded as the cumulative interval data without any changes; on the other hand, the fixed cumulative data is the average shutdown time at that time, which is recorded in the cumulative data table. . It should also be explained that in order to change the above average shutdown time, first, a standard deviation and a first reference time are preset. Next, the accumulated data recorded in the accumulated data table is arithmetically averaged to obtain an arithmetic average. At this time, the average shutdown time is calculated. The arithmetic mean of the accumulated data is added to a multiple of the standard deviation, and the first reference time is added. The sum is the average shutdown time. Finally, based on the obtained average shutdown time, the next automatic shutdown time is calculated, and the automatic shutdown is performed. In addition, it is worth mentioning that if the machine is turned on within the average shutdown time after the machine is automatically turned off, then at this time, the interval value of the automatic shutdown needs to be changed. The time interval value of the automatic shutdown at this time < 1 plus a second reference time should be used as the time interval value of the next automatic shutdown. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is exemplified below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for details.

11270twf.ptd Page 7 200428195 V. Description of the invention (5) The detailed description is as follows: Embodiment The present invention provides a method for automatically shutting down according to user habits. Please refer to FIG. 2 which shows a preferred embodiment according to the present invention. Implementation flow chart. The method first presets an average shutdown time and a minimum reference value (for example, step S2 0 2). Then, the magnitude of the minimum reference value is compared with a time interval value of automatic shutdown (step S204). When the time interval value of the above automatic shutdown is less than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as invalid data and will not be recorded in the accumulated data table (step S2 0 6). In another case, when the time interval value of the automatic shutdown described in 彳 p above is greater than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as a piece of accumulated data, and the accumulated data is recorded in a accumulated data table. Medium (such as step 208). Finally, according to the data in this cumulative data table, the previously averaged shutdown time is changed to be used as the time basis for the next automatic shutdown (for example, step S2 1 0). Then, the details of the interval value of automatic shutdown as invalid data and accumulated data will be explained. Assumption: Average shutdown time: T average = 1 Time interval value of automatic shutdown in 5 seconds: Td # Minimum reference value: When the time interval value of automatic shutdown in 5 seconds is less than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of this automatic shutdown is considered Is invalid data (such as step 2 0 6). It can be simply expressed as follows:

11270twf.ptd Page 8 200428195 V. Description of the invention (6) If Td < 5 seconds, Td will not be allowed to record. For the first time, the shutdown time is set to 15 seconds, and the minimum test value is §5 again, but it is not necessary to limit it in actual implementation. Participants, according to the present invention shown in Figure 3 = Note: the implementation flow chart of accumulated data. First ..., credit V: The prerequisite of the table is that when the machine is turned off automatically, the interval value must be greater than the minimum Yuan II = T302). Then compare the relationship between the time interval value of the automatic shutdown and the average value of the shutdown (as in step S3G4). When the automatic shutdown time = when the interval is less than the average shutdown time, then this automatic shutdown time interval; = as a fixed cumulative data (such as step S306), can be simply expressed as S5 # < Td < TaverageujTd = Taverage = l5 # P indicates that the time interval value of Tian automatic shutdown is less than the average shutdown time when the average shutdown is considered as a fixed cumulative total ::; to this list of poor materials. In addition, when the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is greater than the time of the plane, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is visually blocked ^ Change the cumulative data (such as step S308), which can be simply expressed as follows: Hot Ruo Ding average < Td DTd = Td 1 means that when the interval value of the automatic shutdown is greater than the average shutdown time, =, the cumulative data without change is the time of the automatic shutdown at this time. Therefore, without any changes, directly record to the cumulative data table. in.钲 Second, the cumulative data without change are counted as cumulative data: ㉒ Next, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, how to use ^ W 系 50 十

200428195 V. Description of the invention (7) The accumulated information in the data sheet to change the details of the average shutdown time will be explained. Assumption: Standard deviation: St. First reference time: 5 seconds. The method is to first take multiple accumulative records from the accumulated data table, and use these multiple accumulative records to obtain the average operation. Next, add the result of the arithmetic average to twice the standard deviation and the result of the first reference time to get the value of the average shutdown time. It can be simply expressed as follows:

Ding average = [(Tdl + Td2 + ··· + Ding 29 Shi Ding 3〇) / 3〇] + 2 S t + 5 seconds Among which, although, seconds; multiple accumulated data times, but obtained in actual implementation The average shuts down and shuts down the machine. In this embodiment, the first setting is 30 strokes; in the standard, it is not necessary to use this as the time, and the automatic reference time is set to 5 and the multiple of the difference is set to the limit. In addition, according to the above shutdown time, the implementation of the shutdown method is supplemented to explain the processing of the automatic shutdown interval under special circumstances. The shutdown time is the user's decision. When the event occurs, at this time since
