Description

Notebook computer with sound equalizer

The invention relates to a notebook computer with a sound equalizer, in particular to a light-emitting diode on a notebook computer, and the light-emitting diode can be related to the volume, rhythm and even the central processing unit. A notebook computer that produces a change in light source at a high temperature.

With the advancement and development of science and technology, notebook computers have also made great progress with the advancement and development of science and technology. Not only have the speed of computing become faster and stronger, but the volume has also been greatly reduced and become lighter and thinner. More importantly, the price becomes more intimate and more acceptable to the general public. So in recent years has replaced most of the desktop computers. Only most of the current manufacturers are focusing on how to provide better sound quality performance, but the convenience of consumers who are often neglected, and the requirements of consumers for the sound and light effect are also being provided year by year.

In the current notebook computer, the user cannot know the current volume level from the appearance of the notebook computer. Only when the volume is adjusted by the button can the volume display on the screen be known. Not only does the appearance look tedious, but because the consumer can't grasp the volume at that time, it often happens that when the consumer turns on, shuts down, or executes some software, the sound effect is suddenly loud. The broadcast is caused by the user or the surrounding people. Especially if the user is in a place that often needs to be kept quiet, such as a hospital or a library. If you suddenly make loud music or other sounds in such a quiet place, it will not only scare or interfere with other people's work, but also cause serious problems for users. In particular, the sound effect is not used. As you can expect, for example, the homepage of many merchant websites may put some advertising videos, and those videos are only If you log in to the website, it will automatically play. Even some people will set up MP3 files of their favorite songs on their personal webpages. Users will automatically play them as soon as they log in to the webpage. The user of the product often knows the volume of the volume at a glance, and forgets to actively adjust the volume to a minimum, so that the sudden occurrence of great sound effects often causes inconvenience and trouble to the user and the surrounding personnel.

On the other hand, as the performance of the central processing unit of the notebook computer continues to increase, the operating temperature will increase relatively. Although various cooling fans and heat dissipation technologies can effectively slow down the temperature rise and control within a certain acceptable range. However, the heat dissipation performance of the heat dissipating devices may gradually decrease as the usage time increases. For example, the dust may not accumulate on the heat sink, the air inlet or the air outlet, or the heat dissipation fan may affect the normal rotation of the heat dissipation fan. Effective discharge, even due to the problem of the quality and durability of the bearing of the heat-dissipating fan itself, causes the cooling fan to fail to operate normally, so that the operating temperature of the central processing unit cannot be controlled within the normal operating temperature and the situation occurs. In addition to the regular cleaning work of the user, these situations can only be detected by some monitoring software for the working condition of the notebook itself. However, some of the current detection software singularities are also passive actions that are performed by the user after detecting the software and detecting the related component data. Because it is passively enabled, it is difficult for the user to actively grasp the situation at the first time, that is, usually after the operation of the notebook computer is abnormal (for example, the execution speed is slow or crashed), Only passively open the monitoring software to detect the components to clarify which part of the problem is wrong. Therefore, it is a bit late at the time, just like the patient has already come to the hospital for medical treatment, and has not found the effect of prevention such as abnormality and active treatment in the first time through active methods such as health checkup.

Therefore, in order to improve the above-mentioned deficiency, the inventors have devoted themselves to research, and with the application of the theory, and through continuous efforts, trials and improvements, finally proposed an ingenious design, and can effectively improve the above-mentioned missing sound equalizer Notebook computer.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a notebook computer with a sound equalizer, which can display the volume of the notebook directly on the notebook computer, and let the user At a glance, you know what the current volume is and adjust it at the right time.

A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a notebook computer having a sound equalizer, wherein the plurality of light-emitting diodes that can display the volume can vary differently depending on the volume and the strength of the signal rhythm.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a notebook computer having a sound equalizer, which can read the internal temperature of the central processing unit through the PECI interface through the programmable control unit; and control the notebook computer according to different temperature changes. Most of the light-emitting diodes produce different colors of light, so that the user can understand whether the operating temperature of the central processing unit is abnormal.

In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the present invention has a notebook computer with a sound equalizer. The notebook computer is mainly composed of a main body and a screen cover. The main body and the screen cover system are pivotally connected to each other. The main body further includes an input unit, an output unit, a power supply unit, and a motherboard required by the general notebook computer, wherein the input unit, the output unit, the power supply unit and the motherboard are electrically connected, and the main board is provided with an electrical connection. At least one central processing unit, characterized in that the present invention further comprises: a system music input terminal, an external music input terminal, an audio decoder, an analog signal switch, a voltage regulator, a programmable control unit, a light emitting diode driver, and A plurality of light-emitting diodes, wherein the sound decoder, the analog signal switch, the voltage regulator, the programmable control unit, and the LED driver can be integrated on the motherboard or separately disposed on a separate circuit board and There are electrical connections between the motherboards, and the majority of the LEDs can be divided into left and right. Disposed on the main body, between the plurality of light-emitting diode electrode system and an electrical drive provided by the link.
