有關本發明的特徵、實作與功效,茲配合圖式作最佳實施例詳細說明如下。The features, implementations, and utilities of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

請參照第1圖所示,為本發明所揭露之第一實施例之電腦系統的系統方塊示意圖。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a block diagram of a system of a computer system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

本發明第一實施例所揭露之電腦系統10包括有一電路板100、一顯示卡400以及一電源控制元件500。電路板100上電性設置有一處理單元200、一顯示晶片300以及一連接介面110,且處理單元200分別電性連接於顯示晶片300與連接介面110,其中處理單元200係用以產生相對應的電源控制訊號至顯示晶片300以及顯示卡400,因此處理單元200可以是但並不侷限於中央處理器(central processing unit,CPU),或者是,處理單元200也可以是一電源管理晶片,並不以實施方式所揭露者為限。The computer system 10 disclosed in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a circuit board 100, a display card 400, and a power control component 500. The circuit board 100 is electrically connected to a processing unit 200, a display chip 300, and a connection interface 110, and the processing unit 200 is electrically connected to the display chip 300 and the connection interface 110, respectively, wherein the processing unit 200 is used to generate corresponding The power control signal is sent to the display chip 300 and the display card 400. Therefore, the processing unit 200 can be, but is not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU). Alternatively, the processing unit 200 can also be a power management chip. It is limited to those disclosed in the embodiments.

顯示卡400電性插設於連接介面110,以透過連接介面110電性設置於電路板100上,其中連接介面110可以是一電腦周邊介面(Peripheral Component InterconnectExpress,PCI-E),或者是一加速影像處理埠(AcceleratedGraphicsPort,AGP)介面等,用以供顯示卡400電性插設於電路板100的插槽。可以理解的是,上述連接介面110的型式並不侷限於本發明所揭露之實施態樣。The display card 400 is electrically connected to the connection interface 110 and is electrically disposed on the circuit board 100 through the connection interface 110. The connection interface 110 can be a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI-E) or an acceleration. An image processing (Accelerated Graphics Port, AGP) interface or the like is used to electrically insert the display card 400 into the slot of the circuit board 100. It can be understood that the above-mentioned type of the connection interface 110 is not limited to the embodiment disclosed in the present invention.

此外,顯示卡400上配置有一電源開關410。電源控制元件500即電性連接於顯示卡400之電源開關410與電路板100之處理單元200之間,使處理單元200在選擇性地致能(enable)顯示晶片或顯示卡時,可以透過電源控制元件500傳送電源控制訊號至顯示卡400,例如傳送一禁能訊號(disable signal)或一致能訊號(enable signal)至顯示卡400,以對應關閉或開啟顯示卡400的電源開關410。In addition, a power switch 410 is disposed on the display card 400. The power control component 500 is electrically connected between the power switch 410 of the display card 400 and the processing unit 200 of the circuit board 100, so that the processing unit 200 can transmit power when selectively displaying the chip or the display card. The control component 500 transmits a power control signal to the display card 400, for example, transmits a disable signal or an enable signal to the display card 400 to correspondingly turn off or turn on the power switch 410 of the display card 400.

舉例而言,當處理單元200選擇性地致能顯示晶片300時,使顯示晶片300透過處理單元200接收來自電路板100之一驅動電源而產生運作,同時,處理單元200產生禁能(disable)訊號,並透過電源控制元件500將禁能訊號傳送至顯示卡400,以關閉電源開關410。並且,當處理單元200致能顯示卡400時,處理單元200所產生的致能訊號是透過電源控制元件500傳送至顯示卡400,以開啟電源開關410。For example, when the processing unit 200 selectively enables the display of the wafer 300, the display wafer 300 is caused to operate by receiving the driving power from one of the circuit boards 100 through the processing unit 200, and at the same time, the processing unit 200 generates a disable. The signal is transmitted to the display card 400 through the power control component 500 to turn off the power switch 410. Moreover, when the processing unit 200 enables the display card 400, the enable signal generated by the processing unit 200 is transmitted to the display card 400 through the power control element 500 to turn on the power switch 410.

其中,在電腦系統10的運作上,處理單元200可以是但並不侷限於常態地致能顯示晶片300,同時關閉顯示卡400之電源開關410,使顯示晶片300成為電腦系統10預設的影像輸出來源。然後,處理單元200再依據電腦系統10中其他應用軟體的使用狀態來決定是否執行在顯示晶片300與顯示卡400之間進行切換。例如,當電腦系統10執行一般文書處理軟體或網頁瀏覽軟體等較低顯示效能需求的應用軟體時,處理單元200即選擇以電路板100上的顯示晶片110作為電腦系統10的影像輸出來源,並且關閉顯示卡400的電源開關410,藉此,可避免顯示卡400持續的消耗電腦系統10的電源。此外,當電腦系統10執行繪圖軟體或電腦遊戲軟體等需要較高顯示效能的應用軟體時,處理單元200透過電源控制元件500傳送致能訊號至顯示卡400,以開啟顯示卡400的電源開關410,使電腦系統10可以顯示卡400作為電腦系統10的影像輸出來源。因此,透過這種選擇性的電源切換方式,讓電腦系統10的影像輸出效能可以達到最佳化的應用。In the operation of the computer system 10, the processing unit 200 can be, but is not limited to, the normal display of the wafer 300, and the power switch 410 of the display card 400 is turned off, so that the display wafer 300 becomes the preset image of the computer system 10. Source of output. Then, the processing unit 200 determines whether to perform switching between the display wafer 300 and the display card 400 according to the use state of other application software in the computer system 10. For example, when the computer system 10 executes an application software with lower display performance requirements such as general document processing software or web browsing software, the processing unit 200 selects the display wafer 110 on the circuit board 100 as the image output source of the computer system 10, and The power switch 410 of the display card 400 is turned off, whereby the display card 400 can be prevented from continuously consuming power of the computer system 10. In addition, when the computer system 10 executes an application software that requires high display performance, such as a drawing software or a computer game software, the processing unit 200 transmits an enable signal to the display card 400 through the power control component 500 to turn on the power switch 410 of the display card 400. The computer system 10 can display the card 400 as a source of image output for the computer system 10. Therefore, through this selective power switching method, the image output performance of the computer system 10 can be optimized.

另外,為了進一步讓電腦系統10的電源獲得有效利用,當處理單元200開啟顯示卡400的電源開關410,以喚醒顯示卡400時,處理單元200可同步地切斷電路板100供應至顯示晶片300的驅動電源,以禁能顯示晶片300,進而降低電腦系統10的影像輸出電源的損耗。In addition, in order to further utilize the power of the computer system 10, when the processing unit 200 turns on the power switch 410 of the display card 400 to wake up the display card 400, the processing unit 200 can synchronously cut off the supply of the circuit board 100 to the display chip. The driving power of 300 disables the display of the wafer 300, thereby reducing the loss of the image output power of the computer system 10.

值得注意的是,本實施例之電腦系統10之顯示卡400可以是一外接顯示卡,或者是,本實施例之電腦系統10之顯示卡400也可以是另一具有顯示晶片之電腦周邊裝置,並且上述顯示卡400的型式並不侷限於本發明所揭露之實施態樣。It should be noted that the display card 400 of the computer system 10 of the embodiment may be an external display card, or the display card 400 of the computer system 10 of the embodiment may be another computer peripheral device having a display chip. Moreover, the type of the display card 400 described above is not limited to the embodiment disclosed in the present invention.

本發明所揭露之電腦系統10乃利用處理單元200選擇性地致能顯示晶片300,並且同步地關閉顯示卡400之電源開關410;或者是,禁能顯示晶片300,並且同步地開啟顯示卡400之電源開關410以喚醒顯示卡400。因此,在電腦系統10的運作過程中,電路板100只需供應電源至顯示卡400,並且只供應極小部分的電流至顯示晶片300或者是強制的讓顯示晶片300處於斷電的狀態,使電路板100的電源獲得有效的運用。反之,當處理單元200關閉顯示卡400的電源開關410時,同樣的使電路板100只供應電源至顯示晶片300,而不需再額外供應電源至顯示卡400,如此,可有效減少電腦系統10的電源損耗並且降低操作成本。The computer system 10 disclosed in the present invention selectively enables the display of the wafer 300 by the processing unit 200, and synchronously turns off the power switch 410 of the display card 400; or, disables the display of the wafer 300, and simultaneously turns on the display card 400. The power switch 410 wakes up the display card 400. Therefore, during the operation of the computer system 10, the circuit board 100 only needs to supply power to the display card 400, and supplies only a small portion of the current to the display wafer 300 or forcibly causes the display wafer 300 to be powered off. The power supply of the board 100 is effectively utilized. On the contrary, when the processing unit 200 turns off the power switch 410 of the display card 400, the circuit board 100 is only supplied with power to the display chip 300 without additional power supply to the display card 400. Thus, the computer system 10 can be effectively reduced. Power loss and reduced operating costs.

基於上述,本發明之電腦系統10可以彈性運用顯示晶片300或是顯示卡400,以提升電腦系統10之效能與電源管理上的便利性,而且,藉由控制顯示晶片300與顯示卡400的電源供應,更可達成電源的有效管理與節省用電之功能。Based on the above, the computer system 10 of the present invention can flexibly utilize the display chip 300 or the display card 400 to improve the performance and power management convenience of the computer system 10, and by controlling the power of the display chip 300 and the display card 400. Supply, can achieve the effective management of power supply and save power.

此外,值得說明的是,在本實施例中電腦系統10之電源控制元件500可以是各種形式的電源訊號傳輸介面,用以將處理單元200所產生的致能訊號與禁能訊號等電源控制訊號傳送至顯示卡400,這些電源控制元件500的形式將在以下本發明所揭露的其他實施例中舉例說明。In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the power control component 500 of the computer system 10 can be various forms of power signal transmission interfaces for generating power control signals such as enable signals and disable signals generated by the processing unit 200. Transferred to display card 400, the form of these power control elements 500 will be exemplified in other embodiments of the invention disclosed below.

請參照第4圖所示之本發明之電腦系統40的立體示意圖,此為本發明所揭露之第四實施例的電腦系統的立體示意圖。Please refer to the perspective view of the computer system 40 of the present invention shown in FIG. 4, which is a perspective view of a computer system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

本發明所揭露的第四實施例與前述第一實施例之內容相近,所差異者在於,本發明第四實施例所揭露之電腦系統40進一步以電源控制元件500為包含一無線射頻識別(Radio Frequency Identification,RFID)感應器(Reader)540以及一無線射頻識別標籤(Tag)550的無線射頻識別系統連接介面做為舉例說明。無線射頻識別感應器540以及無線射頻識別標籤550分別設置於電路板100以及顯示卡400上,例如,當無線射頻識別感應器540電性設置於電路板100,無線射頻識別標籤550即電性設置於顯示卡400,其中無線射頻識別感應器540電性連接於處理單元200,且無線射頻識別標籤550電性連接於顯示卡400之電源開關410。The fourth embodiment of the present invention is similar to the foregoing first embodiment. The difference is that the computer system 40 disclosed in the fourth embodiment of the present invention further includes a radio frequency identification (Radio) for the power control component 500.

For example, when the radio frequency identification sensor 540 is electrically disposed on the circuit board 100, the radio frequency identification tag 550 is electrically set. In the display card 400, the radio frequency identification sensor 540 is electrically connected to the processing unit 200, and the radio frequency identification tag 550 is electrically connected to the power switch 410 of the display card 400.

無線射頻識別系統連接介面,即射頻識別技術,又稱電子標籤,是一種通信技術,可透過無線電訊號識別特定目標並讀寫相關資料,而無需識別系統與特定目標之間建立機械或光學接觸,通常是由感應器(Reader)和RFID標籤(Tag)所組成的識別系統,其運作的原理是利用感應器發射無線電波,觸動感應範圍內的RFID標籤,藉由電磁感應產生電流,供應RFID標籤上的晶片運作。因為RFID標籤可分為主動式及被動式兩種,而被動式的標籤本身不需電源的裝置,所需電流全靠感應器的無線電波電磁感應產生,因此可以適用於本發明案中的顯示卡400,因為當顯示卡400被選擇使用而重新啟動(或稱為喚醒)之前,顯示卡400本身並不具任何電源供應,因此透過無線射頻識別系統被動反應的性質可以令顯示卡400即使在沒有電源供應時仍然可以藉由電磁感應被動的產生感應電流以啟動顯示卡400。A radio frequency identification system connection interface, or radio frequency identification technology, also known as an electronic tag, is a communication technology that can identify a specific target through radio signals and read and write related data without identifying mechanical or optical contact between the system and a specific target. It is usually an identification system consisting of a reader (Reader) and an RFID tag (Tag). Its operation principle is to use the sensor to emit radio waves, touch the RFID tag in the sensing range, generate current by electromagnetic induction, and supply the RFID tag. The wafer on the operation. Because the RFID tag can be divided into active and passive, and the passive tag itself does not need a power supply device, the required current is generated by the electromagnetic wave electromagnetic induction of the sensor, so it can be applied to the display card 400 in the present invention. Because the display card 400 itself does not have any power supply before the display card 400 is selectively used for use (or called wake-up), the passive reaction of the radio frequency identification system can make the display card 400 even without power supply. The display card 400 can still be activated by passively generating an induced current by electromagnetic induction.
