Description

1225983 V. Description of the invention α) The field of the invention to which the invention belongs ′ The present invention relates to a power-saving way of automatic shutdown, and more particularly to a technology for performing automatic shutdown in accordance with user habits. Prior technology Due to the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, some manufacturers have formulated agreements on power management for computers that consume considerable power. The first thing that has to be mentioned is the so-called Energy Star tar's power management standard. A computer that can meet this standard is characterized by a chipset that must provide specific power management functions and reduce power consumption. . In addition, the common power management functions include advanced power management (A d v a n c e d P ○ w e r ^ Management, APM), and advanced configuration and power interface (Advance (1

Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Among them, Advanced Power Management is a set of power management specifications previously promoted by Microsoft, Intel and several other well-known manufacturers. However, the advanced power management specifications have gradually been replaced by the newer advanced configuration and power interface specifications. In addition, the advanced configuration and power interface are a new generation of power management regulations jointly developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba. This kind of power management specification not only allows the operating system to control the power and status used by various equipment in the system, but also allows idle equipment in the system to temporarily rest without consuming power. In addition, the 'keyboard boot function' is also one of the functions supported in the advanced configuration and power interface specifications. The general power management objects mainly include three categories: overall system, computer screen, and hard disk drive. The following classifications are used for explanation: (1) Overall system: Generally, it is possible to set the time when entering various power-saving states.

11270twf.ptd Page 4 "Finally, the power management flow chart of the four modes of Γ, π 1 罔, and other four modes. Except the normal mode (such as M102), the other three are power saving modes. If the power consumption is arranged in descending order, the order is Doze Mode (such as M104), standby mode (such as M106), and interrupt mode (such as M108). ). (2) Computer screen: Most of the time can be set off and the off mode. Setting the off time allows the screen to automatically turn off when it is not used for a certain period of time, and the off mode is divided into displaying black screens (Mack, Screen) , Stop the horizontal / vertical synchronization signal and display the black day and night door U1 2k Screen), and the screen will be launched-power is complete i: :( d 丨 ”monitors support monitor power management Γ " System > DPMS) 5 PC Pause for a period of time *, then the display will be set. When-comes, you can save power on the screen. On the same day: ★ The power is turned off, so the display is damaged. T can also protect the screen from over (3) disk drives: can be set to turn the disk drive off. If it is not used within the next day, the current power-saving party generally sets a time. In this period, most of the work is performed by the user. The machine will be within two seconds if the user There is less opportunity to implement the machine, and there is no human customization. Therefore, when the user can choose but rarely use the machine, the user chooses a longer time,

n27〇twf.ptd Page 5 The machine is idle 1225983 V. Description of the invention (3) (Idling condition) Necessary waste of power resources Summary of the invention In view of this, the method of the present invention. The present invention makes use of habits as the next user's usage habits. Added automatic shutdown fee for those who choose inappropriate. To strike a balance between convenience from the user's point of view The present invention proposes a method that first presets a level. Then, it compares the obtained levels. Comparing this automatic shutdown relationship, when the above is automatic, the time interval between the automatic shutdown time and the automatic shutdown time is waiting for the arrival of the shutdown time, resulting in the unknown proposal of a power management to perform the automatic machine automatic time selection. In terms of shutdown time, the sharp point of this point is based on the use of an automatic time interval when the machine is turned off. The time interval is greater than the time interval. The learning can be fine-tuned according to the time of the shutdown, and reduces unnecessary power waves caused by the use of the invention. The invention is to save power and operator habits, and use the shutdown interval and interval interval as the minimum. Accumulation of entries. At the end of the shutdown, the data will be automatically turned off and the time above will be less than the invalid test data. According to the time, the minimum parameter separation value and the minimum parameter data should be used as the method. . The value of this assessment. For the evaluation of the comparison value, when the above mentioned data is recorded, the accumulated data for the next time will be recorded into the data in a cumulative data table to change the previous average power-off time basis. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the time interval value of automatic shutdown is regarded as accumulating materials. There are two cases.

11270twf.ptd Page 6 1225983 V. Description of the invention (4) When the interval value is greater than the average shutdown time, the interval value of this automatic shutdown is regarded as a cumulative data without change. In addition, if the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is less than the average shutdown time and greater than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as a fixed cumulative data. Whether the cumulative data is unchanged or the cumulative data is cumulative data, it must be recorded in the cumulative data table. Among them, the unaltered cumulative data is directly regarded as the cumulative interval data without any changes; on the other hand, the fixed cumulative data is the average shutdown time at that time, which is recorded in the cumulative data table. . It should also be explained that in order to change the above average shutdown time, first, a standard deviation and a first reference time are preset. Next, the accumulated data recorded in the accumulated data table is arithmetically averaged to obtain an arithmetic average. At this time, the average shutdown time is calculated. The arithmetic mean of the accumulated data is added to a multiple of the standard deviation, and the first reference time is added. The sum is the average shutdown time. Finally, based on the obtained average shutdown time, the next automatic shutdown time is calculated, and the automatic shutdown is performed. In addition, it is worth mentioning that if the machine is turned on within the average shutdown time after the machine is automatically turned off, then at this time, the interval value of the automatic shutdown needs to be changed. The time interval value of the automatic shutdown at this time plus a second reference time is used as the time interval value of the next automatic shutdown. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is exemplified below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for details.

11270twf.ptd Page 7 1225983 V. Description of the invention (5) The detailed description is as follows:

The present invention provides a method for automatically shutting down according to a user's habits. Please refer to FIG. 2, which illustrates an implementation flow chart according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method first presets an average shutdown time and a minimum reference value (such as step S202). Then, the magnitude of the minimum reference value is compared with a time interval value of automatic shutdown (step S204). When the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is less than the minimum reference value, the interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as invalid data and will not be recorded in the accumulated data table (such as step S20 6). In another case, when the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is greater than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is regarded as a piece of accumulated data, and the accumulated data is recorded in an accumulated data table (such as Step 2 08). Finally, according to the data in this cumulative data table, the previously averaged shutdown time is changed to be used as the time basis for the next automatic shutdown (for example, step S2 1 0). Then, the details of the interval value of automatic shutdown as invalid data and accumulated data will be explained. Assumption: Average shutdown time: T average = 1 Time interval value of automatic shutdown in 5 seconds: Td # Minimum reference value: When the time interval value of automatic shutdown in 5 seconds is less than the minimum reference value, the time interval value of this automatic shutdown is considered Is invalid data (such as step 2 0 6). It can be simply expressed as follows:

11270twf.ptd Page 8 1225983 V. Description of the invention (6) If Td < 5 seconds, Td will not be recorded. = In this example, the average shutdown time is set to 15 seconds, and the minimum reference value is set to 5 seconds, but it is not necessary to limit this in actual implementation. Next, please follow the implementation flow chart of the accumulated data according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. First of all, it is known that the prerequisite for recording in the cumulative data table is that the time interval value of the automatic shutdown needs to be greater than the minimum reference (eg, step S302). Then, the relationship between the time interval value of automatic shutdown and the time interval between shutdown and shutdown (such as step S304) is compared. When the time between automatic shutdowns = the value is less than the average shutdown time, the interval value of this automatic shutdown is regarded as a fixed cumulative data (such as step §306), which can be simply expressed as follows: ^ 5 spear > < Td < T average, then Td = T average = 15 seconds = means that when the interval value of the automatic shutdown is less than the average shutdown time, the shutdown time is regarded as a fixed total of data and recorded in the list of accumulated suspects 1 '4. In addition, when the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is greater than the average off-, the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is accumulatively changed by the pen: The meter data (such as step S308) can be simply expressed as follows: When qTd = Td, it means that when the time interval value of the automatic shutdown is large Φ, it will compete for 4 times. Θ &

Pretty, Γ = P. For the time of automatic shutdown at this time, P ~ ..., any changes must be made and recorded directly to the accumulated Ziyang Yue fixed accumulation data or the accumulation data management without change, or to the accumulation data table.资料 t 疋 tired juice data need to be implemented in one of the invention

HWOtwf.pui Page 9 1225983 V. Description of the invention (7) The detailed information in the β data sheet to change the average shutdown time is explained in detail. Assumptions · Standard deviation: St First reference time: 5 seconds The method is to first take multiple accumulative records from the cumulative data table and perform the arithmetic mean operation on these accumulative records. Next, add the result of the arithmetic average to twice the standard deviation and the result of the first reference time to get the value of the average shutdown time. It can be expressed simply as follows: T average = [(Tdl + Td2 +… + T29 + T3 0) / 3 0] + ❿ 2St +5 seconds where, although, in this embodiment, the first reference time is set to 5 seconds; more The accumulated data is set to 30; the multiple of the standard deviation is set to double, but in actual implementation, there is no need to limit this. In addition, based on the average shutdown time obtained above, an automatic shutdown time is calculated, and an operation to shut down the machine is performed. Finally, the method of dealing with the time interval value of automatic shutdown in a special situation is supplemented. If the average shutdown time is not reached after the machine is automatically turned off, and the user performs the startup event again, the time interval of the automatic shutdown at this time needs to add a second reference time, and treat the sum obtained as automatic Interval of shutdown time. It can be expressed simply as follows: Assumption: Second reference time: 10 seconds The time from automatic shutdown to user execution startup: T 1

11270twf.ptd Page 10 1225983 V. Description of the invention (8) If T1 < T average, then Td = Td +10 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, not only the meaningless invalid data is quickly deleted, but the Meaningful accumulated data for further analysis and processing. Statistical principles are also fully used in calculating the average shutdown time. These intentions are to solve the problem that the options of the settable machine shutdown time in the past are fixed, and the user has few choices, which causes inconvenience in use; and that the user chooses the option of the shutdown time that is not practical, causing the machine to be idle for too long. Instead, it cannot effectively save power and other issues. Therefore, the present invention proposes a method for recording and analyzing the user's usage habits by a power management program, and learning to automatically adjust the time of automatic shutdown according to the user's usage habits. The time of automatic shutdown can be fine-tuned flexibly, in accordance with the user's habits, reducing the user's inconvenience in operation, and reducing unnecessary power consumption caused by the machine being idle for too long. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications and retouching without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention 2 The scope of protection shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application. μ
