In the portable computer system 2〇t, a battery 2〇2 is used for the library operation = power supply and the detection unit and control software are used to implement the power supply device of the present invention. The operation unit of the detection unit and the control software 2G6 is similar to the detection unit 106 and the control unit (10) of Fig. 1, but the control software lion system is constructed in the program of the fresh system, so that when it is portable When the computer system 2 is used to supply the power required for operation, the detection unit 2〇4 will detect the power of the battery and transmit the result through the south bridge chipset to (4) control in the system. The software 206 and the control software 2〇6 adjust the operation of each component to reduce the power consumption of the body and extend the power supply time of the battery. " Further, in the portable computer system 2, the control software preferably adopts the hierarchical power supply management mode to adjust the operation of each component 1 means "hierarchical power management mode" means when portable When the computer system 2 is supplied with the power required for the operation of the battery 2G2, the control software 206 adjusts the operating clock of the central processing unit 200A, the brightness of the screen 2〇〇D, and the hard state according to the power of the battery 202. The operating mode of the components such as the speed of the disc 2〇〇f or the opening and closing. In this case, the control software 2% can be pre-configured with multiple operational settings, and the per-operational settings correspond to the --electricity interval. For example, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention - an operation setting table. The operation setting buckle is used to provide the control software 206 to control the operation of each component; from top to bottom, the four operational settings of the battery 202 are 50%, 30%, 3%, and 0%, respectively; 201131348 From left to right 'corresponding to CPU 2 (8) 2001 (RPM)^„. 2〇〇j ' 4ίΙ

In addition, in addition to adjusting the operation of the electronic device, when the battery power is lower than a certain threshold, a warning signal can also be issued. According to the control software 2〇6 example of Fig. 2, it can be further set that when the battery 202 is lower than 3% of the temple, a warning tone is issued first, and then the portable computer system 20 is turned off. However, the timing of how to generate a warning signal or generate a warning signal is not the focus of the present invention and should not be limited thereto. On the other hand, in the figure i, the power management device 1〇4 indicates the relevant operation situation by function squares. In fact, the designer should implement the detection single S 1G6 and the control A 108 in an appropriate manner. Not limited to software or hardware.
