Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer system, and more particularly to a computer that can process a multimedia file without being turned on. [Prior Art] In the prior art, the playback of multimedia files such as video, music, etc. by a user through a computer has become a fairly common application. However, when a user wants to play a multimedia file through a computer, it is often necessary to turn on the main power of the computer to start the computer's operating system. After that, the user still needs to execute a program suitable for the multimedia file he wants to play, so as to play more and more files. The above boot process, in the average personal computer fee for one to two minutes. In addition, after entering the operation surface of the operating system, the data stored in different bits according to different applications and peripheral devices = the player must repeatedly operate the mouse button to complete the operation of the multimedia broadcast operation. The time will vary depending on when the user is looking for multimedia. The above-mentioned booting procedure and operation process, ^ λ said that there is a considerable degree of inconvenience, so that the user's intention to play the multimedia application is lowered, causing the computer resources to be insufficiently profitable. The main scope of the present invention is to provide a computer system to solve the above problem. Under the condition of the present invention, the invention provides a computer system capable of processing a multimedia file (Main_p_r_). Referring to 5 1297452, the user makes a wish for the (4) physical touch application, thereby making the computer resources fully utilized. According to a preferred embodiment, the computer system of the present invention includes a backup power supply ( Standby power supply), a storage device (St〇rage (10)(3)), a control (C=tr〇ller), a decoder (Dec〇der), and at least—output unit (〇帅 says unit). Standby power supply It is used to provide a backup power supply. The storage device is used to store the multi-ship county, and in the unpowered state τ, the power supply provides a backup power dump device. Control||Response-request (4) coffee, call The multimedia file is accessed from the cache device, and in the unpowered state, the backup power supply provides backup power to the controller. The decoder responds to the request signal for use in the system. Receiving a multimedia file, and interpreting the multimedia file into a plurality of output signals, and in an unpowered state, the standby power supply provides a backup power supply to the decoder. At least one output unit responds to the request signal for receiving and outputting the same. The output signal is provided, and in the unpowered state, the backup power supply provides backup power to the transmission unit. In this way, with the computer system of the present invention, the backup power supply provides backup power to the playback state in the unpowered state. The related devices required for the multimedia file enable the corpse user to play the multimedia 梓^ without turning on the main power of the computer system, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of playing the multimedia file. Since it is not necessary to start the entire computer system, the multimedia file can be played, and the energy required for the same application is also reduced. The advantages and spirit of the present invention can be further understood by the following detailed description of the invention. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1.
