And other purposes, The features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent. In the following, several embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail, and the following description will be made in detail as follows: [Embodiment] The technical effect of the present invention is mainly to enhance the notes. Type 8 200928709 The performance of the computer. The following is a block diagram of the 1:100 system of the portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to the plan of the figure, ^, and the device 100. Mnm, FIG. 1 ' In this embodiment, the portable electronic device can be, for example, a notebook computer (N〇teb〇〇k), but no: the notebook will be illustrated by the notebook computer 100, by way of example. The technician can easily understand the spirit of the present invention. Ο Ο = The notebook computer (10) includes a basic input/output system (10), a central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU) 105, operating system (0Pe her system, OS) 107, and peripheral devices (peripheral, such as display cards, but not limited to this) 1〇9. Among them, 'this embodiment is used to enhance the notebook computer Just using performance The device 1〇1 includes a smart battery 111 and a control unit 113, and the control unit 113 is generally an embedded controller (embeddedc〇ntr〇Uer, EC). In this embodiment, the smart battery ηι is used to provide a notebook type. The power required for the operation of the computer 100 (in the case where the external power transformer is not supplied with power to the notebook 1), and the smart battery ill itself has an overcurrent protection value (〇Vel· CUn>ent pr〇teCU〇n value ' is, for example, 6A' but not limited thereto, and is generally set to a power management chip (i.e., gas gauge 1C, not shown) inside the smart battery 111. The control unit 113 is coupled to the smart battery 111 and has a preset current value, wherein the preset current value must be smaller than the overcurrent protection value set by the power management chip inside the smart battery 111 9 200928709. The preset current value must be less than 6A. For example, 5A is used first, but not limited to this. The control unit 113 performs a debt measurement through the system management bus (SMBus) 115 at each preset time and determines whether the actual current value supplied by the smart battery 111 to the notebook computer is greater than the built-in value thereof. The preset current value (ie, 5A) is used when the actual current value supplied by the smart battery 111 to the notebook computer is greater than the pre-set current value of the built-in computer (this situation generally occurs in the notebook computer 100) Under the overloaded operating conditions, the control unit 113 causes the operating frequency of the central processing unit 105 of the notebook computer and its at least one peripheral device 1〇9 (i.e., the display card) to be simultaneously reduced. It is worth mentioning here that the preset time and the preset current value can be set to the control unit in through the man machine interface (MMI). In this embodiment, the control unit 主要3 mainly reads the information stored in the data storage component (for example, EEPROM, not shown) in the smart battery iH through the system management bus 115, so as to know the smart battery 111. The actual current value supplied to the notebook computer 100 is what. Therefore, when the control unit 3 determines that the actual cake value of the smart battery n1 supplied to the notebook computer is greater than the setting value (ie, 5A), the control unit τϋ 113 will notify the notebook computer first. The basic input/output system 〇3, and then the basic input/output system 1〇3 to notify the notebook computer _ the operating system 1〇7, thereby causing the operating system 107 to simultaneously reduce the central processing unit 105 and peripheral devices (ie, display Card) operating frequency. 200928709

Ο 故基於上述,由於中央處理器1〇5及周邊設備1〇9的 操作頻率已被降低,所以可想而知的是,智慧型電池111 供應至筆記型電腦100的實際電流值即會小於5Α以下。 如此,雖然筆記型電腦100的執行效率會下降些許,但此 做法卻可有效地解決習知技術當智慧型電池m供應至筆 記型電腦100的實際電流值大於智慧型電池的過電流 保護值時,導致筆記型電腦1〇〇瞬間被強迫關機所造成内 部元件的損毀及其使用效能降低的問題。 另外’更值得一提的是’本實施例之周邊設備109雖 然以顯示卡(display card)為例子來做說明,但依據本發 明的精神,應當不限制於此。也就是說,只要是受作業系 統107控制之其他周邊設備的操作頻率皆可同時降低(例 如系統記憶體的存取速度…等),如此即可再大大地提升 筆s己型電腦1〇〇的使用效能。再者,由於智慧型電池 供應至筆記型電腦100的實際電流值並不會達到其電源管 理晶片(亦即§as gauge 1C)所内設的過電流保護值,因 此本實施例更可提供多一道門檻來保護智慧型電池ui。 然而 依據本發明的精神’並不限制於上述實施例所 揭露的實行方式。圖2繪示為本發明另一實施例之可攜式 電子裝置20〇的系統方塊圖。請合併參照圖1及圖2,本 實施例之可攜式電子裝置2〇〇同樣是以筆記型電腦為例來 做說明,但應不以此為限。 J术 基本上’筆記型電腦200與100的系統架構類似,且 標記符號相同的元件之功效亦類似,但唯一之不同處乃是 200928709 控制單元113判斷出智慧型電池111供應至筆記 ,電如200的實際電流值大於其内設的預設電流值(亦即 ❹ 、,控制單70 113會先行通知筆記型電腦200之基本 =輸出系統1G3 ’接著再透魏本輸人輸出系統1〇3各 =知筆記型電腦之作業系統浙及周邊設備1〇9之 勒體(亦即顯示卡_體’通稱別⑹,藉以致使作業 系、、充1〇7與周邊没備1〇9之勤體來各別且同時降 ;請及周邊設請的操作頻率,如此方式亦= 與上述實施例相同的技術功效。 =,在任何-種可攜式電抒置有翻智慧型電池 供應其運作時所需之電力的條件下, ^事先在其啊設定參數的㈣單㈣設定—個^智 =電池之電源管理“所内設之過電流賴值的預設電 =甘並且當智慧型電池供應至筆記型電腦的實際電流值 j其所喊的預設電流⑽’同時降低筆記型電腦之中 j理器及其至少—周邊設備的操作頻率之精神下,即屬 本發明所欲保護的範疇。 據此,依據上述所揭露的實施方式,以下將彙整出一 ^升可攜式f子裝置㈣效能的方法給本領域之技術人 員參詳。 圖3、㈣為本發明—實關之提升可攜式電子裝置使 的方法流㈣。請參關3,於本實施例所應用的 =式電子裝置仍以筆記型電腦為例,但應不以此為限。 本只施例之提升可攜式電子裝置(亦即筆記型 12 200928709 效能的方法包括下列步驟:首先,如步驟S3〇l所述,於 筆記型電腦之控制單元(亦即嵌入式控制器,EC)内設一 個預設電流值。於此步驟§301中,使用者可以透過人機 介面(ΜΜΙ)來設定此預設電流值的大小。Therefore, based on the above, since the operating frequencies of the central processing unit 1〇5 and the peripheral devices 1〇9 have been lowered, it is conceivable that the actual current value supplied from the smart battery 111 to the notebook computer 100 is smaller than 5Α or less. In this way, although the execution efficiency of the notebook computer 100 is somewhat reduced, this method can effectively solve the conventional technology. When the actual current value of the smart battery m supplied to the notebook computer 100 is greater than the overcurrent protection value of the smart battery. This causes the notebook computer to be forced to shut down in an instant, causing damage to internal components and a problem of reduced performance. Further, it is to be noted that the peripheral device 109 of the present embodiment is described by taking a display card as an example, but it should not be limited thereto in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. That is to say, as long as the operating frequency of other peripheral devices controlled by the operating system 107 can be simultaneously reduced (for example, the access speed of the system memory, etc.), the pen computer can be greatly improved. Use efficiency. Moreover, since the actual current value supplied by the smart battery to the notebook computer 100 does not reach the overcurrent protection value set in the power management chip (ie, §as gauge 1C), this embodiment can provide one more The threshold is to protect the smart battery ui. However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment disclosed in the above embodiments. 2 is a system block diagram of a portable electronic device 20A according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, the portable electronic device 2 of the present embodiment is also described by taking a notebook computer as an example, but should not be limited thereto. J is basically the same as the system architecture of the notebook computer 200 and 100, and the functions of the components with the same symbol are similar, but the only difference is that the 200928709 control unit 113 determines that the smart battery 111 is supplied to the note, such as The actual current value of 200 is greater than the preset current value (ie, 控制, , control unit 70 113 will inform the notebook computer 200 basic = output system 1G3 first) and then through the Wei Ben input system 1 〇 3 Each = the operating system of the notebook computer and the surrounding equipment 1 〇 9 of the body (that is, the display card _ body 'common name (6), so that the operating system, charge 1 〇 7 and the surrounding not prepared 1 〇 9 The body is different and at the same time; please set the operating frequency of the surrounding, and this way also = the same technical effect as the above embodiment. =, in any type of portable power unit with a smart battery supply for its operation Under the condition of the required power, ^ in advance, set the parameters of the (four) single (four) settings - a ^ wisdom = battery power management "the default current of the built-in overcurrent value = Gan and when the smart battery supply To the actual computer The flow value j is the default current (10) that it screams, and at the same time reduces the operating frequency of the processor in the notebook computer and at least the peripheral device, which is the category to be protected by the present invention. In the disclosed embodiment, the following method for accommodating the performance of a portable device (4) can be referred to by those skilled in the art. FIG. 3 is a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Method flow (4). Please refer to Figure 3.
