Main Program Figure 1 shows the main program flowchart of the method of the present invention. (Step 1) First, set the IRQ8 interrupt request (hardware interrupt of real-time clock RTC) in the computer system as the trigger source that can wake up the system (such as ρ Π × 4 or the same level chipset) from the shed state. In addition, enable IRQ2 of the main 8 2 5 9 interrupt controller (master) and IRQ0 of the slave 8259 interrupt controller (slave) respectively. (Step 2) Set the status and configuration of the timer. (Step 3) A real-time clock (RTC) interception program is set in advance. (Step 4) Read the number of times that the system should be executed repeatedly after “suspend” and resume " actions (corresponding to the number of executions of the timer program below). This preset value can be read from the file or by the user. (Tester) Enter it by yourself. (Step 5) Execute a timer program to put the system into a suspended state after setting an alarm time; then, when the system time reaches the above alarm time, the above-mentioned hardware interrupt is triggered. Program to wake up the system from suspend (wake up to resume). The detailed operation will be described in the following. (Step 6) Check the number of times the timer program has been executed. If it is still less than the above preset value, continue to execute the timer procedure of step 5. If it is greater than the above preset value, continue to the next step. (Step 7) Cancel the related state setting of the timer. (Step 8) The above real-time clock will be set Changed value when blocking the program

Description of the invention (4), restore it to its original state. Timer Program Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of the timer program in the main program of the present invention. (Step 5a) After starting the timing procedure, first obtain the current time T in the system, add the set time by 2 minutes (can be set as required), and reach an alarm time T ′ OT + 2). (Step 5b) The above-mentioned alarm time τ 'is set so that the above-mentioned clock (RTC) interrupt routine can be triggered. % (Step 5c) Give the system an instruction to enter a temporary hold state, and put the system into a hold state. m After the system enters the suspended state, as soon as the system time reaches the above-mentioned report time T ′, the above-mentioned RTC interrupt procedure is triggered to wake up the system / later. Then the above-mentioned preset RTC interception procedure is executed to allow the system to regain control. The operation flow of the above-mentioned RTC interception program is shown in FIG. 3. (Step Π1) Clear the alarm time T ′ so that the next time can be interrupted; (Step H2) Clear the relevant setting values in the process of using ㈣ interrupt to wake up the system, so that the next RTC interrupt process is still You can wake up the system; (step H3) send an end signal £ 〇1 to the 82 controller. (Step 5d) Add the total number of times the record timer program has been executed, and then return to the main program.屺 As can be seen from the second description, the present invention uses the characteristics of the real-time clock to set the alarm time, so that the system can
