The computer system has also evolved capabilities that allow remote management or repair of the network, such as Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT). If the computer system supports active management technology, the computer system must be designed to ensure that some circuits can still operate normally when the computer system is shut down. It is therefore necessary to rely on the connection of the power module, including the connection of an external power supply, an internal battery module or a spare battery that supplies a Real Time Clock (RTC). However, in the prior art, if the computer system occurred during the development process or the line test, it may be necessary to completely disconnect the power of the circuit of the computer system to re-set it. In order to supply (4) the (four) power signal of the clock, it is necessary to dismantle the spare battery on the motherboard. But as a result, it will cost a lot of work, and it will cause parts (4). And _ host version is also possible to control the power supply. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new control system signal transmission to solve the lack of prior art.

Under normal circumstances, when the computer system 1 is turned off, the memory module 40 relies on the backup power signal of the backup battery to make its Real Time Clock (RTC) component still sustainable. In this way, the computer system can read the correct time when it is turned on. The chipset 50 can be a south bridge wafer of the computer system 1, but the invention is not limited thereto. Under normal circumstances, when the computer system 1 is turned off, the main power signal will still provide a small amount of power to the chipset 50. This is called the system φ power state S5. The power control system 1 is used to control the power signals transmitted to the memory module 4 and the chip group 50. The power control system 1 includes a control module u, an input signal module 12, a first switch circuit 21, and a second switch circuit 22. The control module 11 can be an embedded controller or a keyboard controller, but the invention is not limited thereto. The input signal module 12 is electrically connected to the control module 11 for inputting signals to the control module η. The signal input by the input signal module 12 can be used to continuously press the typed signal by using the combination key. In this way, you can avoid the user's accidental touch on 6 201030504. The combination key is first set by using the control module ^. = (4)_ u Set the user to press the ρη key while pressing the power button for a while. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described pressing method. The first switch circuit 21 is electrically connected to the control module u, the power module 3, and the block module 40. When the first switch circuit 21 is turned on, the power supply signal of the memory module 4G can be simultaneously supplied, and the main power signal and the standby power signal control module 11 control the disconnection or conduction of the first switch circuit 21, so as to determine the memory module. 4〇 Is it able to receive its power signal? Similarly, the first switch circuit 22 is electrically connected to the control module u, the power module 3A, and the chip set 5A. When the second switching circuit 22 is turned on, the chip group 50 main power signal can be supplied. The control module n controls the opening or conducting of the second switching circuit 22 to determine whether the chip group 5 can receive the main power signal. Next, please refer to FIG. 2 for a flowchart of the power control method of the present invention. It should be noted here that the following describes the power control method of the present invention by taking the computer system 1 having the power control system as an example, but the power supply control method of the present invention is not limited to the power control system 10 . First, step 201 is performed: determining, by the power control system, whether a signal is input. The first power control system 10 first determines whether the input signal module 12 has a /in=signal. For example, the control module n uses the manner of scanning the keyboard array to determine whether a combination key is pressed, or whether the combination key is pressed in a specific order. If yes, proceed to step 202: determine whether the continued input reaches a first specific time. 201030504 The control module 11 then determines whether the signal is continuously input for the first specific time. For example, the combination key is continuously pressed for more than eight seconds. The first specific time can be set by the control module 11. If yes, proceed to step 203. If the input is not continued for the first specific time, the combination key may be accidentally touched by the user, so the power control system 10 does not operate. Step 203: Control a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit to cut off the power signal. The control module 11 controls the first switch circuit 21 and the second switch circuit 22 to open the circuit. As a result, the memory module 40 and the chipset 50 are completely unable to receive the power signal, including the main power signal and the standby power signal in the system power state S5. Finally, step 204 is performed: after waiting for a second specific time, the power signal is restored. After the second specific time has elapsed, for example, the control module 11 waits for three seconds, and then controls the first switching circuit 21 and the second switching circuit 22 to be turned on. In this way, the power supply is restored, and the memory module 40 and the chipset 50 can receive the main power signal and the standby power signal. The memory module 40 and the chipset 50 can be restarted by the above-described step 203 being powered off and the step 204 resuming the power supply. It is to be noted that the power supply control method of the present invention is not limited to the above-described order of steps, and the order of the above steps may be changed as long as the object of the present invention can be attained. With the power control system 10 and method of the present invention, the memory module 40 and the chipset 50 can be reset in a hardware architecture without removing the computer system 1. Especially for the process of cutting off the standby power signal, it is not necessary to remove the backup battery. This saves a lot of work and avoids damage to the hardware of the computer system 1. To sum up, the present invention, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, shows its distinctive features of the prior art. You are requested to review the examinations and grant the patents as soon as possible. It is to be noted that the various embodiments described above are intended to be illustrative only, and the scope of the invention is intended to be limited by the scope of the appended claims.
