Invention description () The present invention provides a computer peripheral control device, especially a peripheral control device for controlling a computer monitor and peripheral devices Device. On the computer's window interface, there are many peripheral control programs that can be used to control the operation of computer peripheral devices such as optical drives and scanners. Since these peripheral control programs all use the window interface as the user interface, the control operation of the peripheral devices becomes very simple. However, these peripheral control programs that run on the window interface will encounter a common problem, that is, when controlling the operation of the peripheral device, each peripheral control program must be individually calibrated with the mouse and swim # from the window interface and ---- Perform to complete the required operation. This method is extremely inconvenient for users who are using other window software. The user must temporarily stop or switch off the currently used window software, and transfer control to the peripheral control program to be executed to complete the required Peripheral operation, and then back to the original window software. On the other hand, most computer display devices, such as monitors or liquid crystal displays, are equipped with some display control buttons that can be used to directly control the display operation of the display device. However, these control buttons can only control the internal circuit of the display device, and these control functions are irrelevant, so the image control functions that can be completed through these control buttons are not limited. If the control button on the display device can be used to directly activate the program or side control in the computer host, the above two problems can be solved at the same time. {Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-Packing.
