Description
本發明涉及一種電腦裝置，尤指一種具有系統級晶片的電腦裝置。 The present invention relates to a computer device, and more particularly to a computer device having a system level chip.
在電腦關機時，由於中央處理器處於未供電狀態，致使相關的周邊(例如，硬碟驅動器、網路適配器、動態隨機記憶體)無法獨立被使用。而使用者若想繼續未完成的工作(例如，影片下載、檔上傳、錄影、點對點續傳等)或者服務(例如，印表機服務、媒體中繼服務、檔服務、網路檔系統等)，一般會選擇延長電腦的開機工作時間，但是，這樣會比較浪費電能。 When the computer is turned off, the related peripherals (for example, hard disk drives, network adapters, dynamic random memory) cannot be used independently because the central processing unit is not powered. If the user wants to continue unfinished work (for example, video download, file upload, video, peer-to-peer resume, etc.) or service (for example, printer service, media relay service, file service, network file system, etc.) Generally, you will choose to extend the computer's boot time, but this will waste energy.
鑒於以上內容，有必要提供一種在電腦關機時能夠繼續處理未完成的工作與服務的電腦裝置。 In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a computer device that can continue to process unfinished work and services when the computer is turned off.
一種電腦裝置，包括一主中央處理器、一硬碟驅動器及一用於接替在所述主中央處理器關機後的工作的輔中央處理器，所述主中央處理器在關機時將所有工作環境設定存儲於所述硬碟驅動器之中，所述輔中央處理器在所述主中央處理器關機後進行開機，並讀入所述硬碟驅動器中的已存儲的工作環境設定以及未完成的工作處理指令，從而所述輔中央處理器繼續處理未完成的工作。 A computer device comprising a main central processing unit, a hard disk drive and a secondary central processing unit for replacing the work after the main central processing unit is powered off, the main central processing unit will shut down all working environments when the computer is turned off Setting is stored in the hard disk drive, the secondary central processor is powered on after the main central processor is powered off, and reads the stored working environment settings and unfinished work in the hard disk drive. The instructions are processed such that the secondary CPU continues to process unfinished work.
本發明電腦裝置採用一輔中央處理器來接替一主中央處理器的工 作，在所述主中央處理器關機之後，所述輔中央處理器能夠省電地繼續處理未完成的工作與服務。 The computer device of the present invention uses a secondary central processing unit to replace a main central processing unit After the main central processing unit is shut down, the secondary central processing unit can continue to process unfinished work and services in a power-saving manner.

請參閱圖1，本發明電腦裝置的較佳實施方式包括一主中央處理器10、一輔中央處理器20、一網路適配器30、一硬碟驅動器40及一動態隨機記憶體50。所述輔中央處理器20為一RISC(Reduced Instruction Set Computing，精簡指令系統電腦)中央處理器。所述輔中央處理器20工作於所述主中央處理器10關機之後，來接替所述主中央處理器10繼續處理未完成工作指令(例如，影片下載、檔上傳、錄影、點對點續傳等)或者服務指令(例如，印表機服務、媒體中繼服務、檔服務、網路檔系統等)。所述輔中央處理器20沿用所述主中央處理器10的設定，將所有環境及使用者的設定都存放於所述硬碟驅動器40中。這樣，所述輔中央處理器20即達成了零設定和容易使用，讓使用者需要的服務能夠在所述主中央處理器10關機之後無接縫地被所述輔中央處理器20所接替。 Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the computer device of the present invention includes a main central processing unit 10, a secondary central processing unit 20, a network adapter 30, a hard disk drive 40, and a dynamic random memory 50. The auxiliary central processing unit 20 is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) central processing unit. The auxiliary central processing unit 20 operates after the main central processing unit 10 is powered off to take over the main central processing unit 10 to continue processing unfinished work instructions (eg, movie download, file upload, video recording, peer-to-peer resume, etc.) Or service instructions (eg, printer service, media relay service, file service, network file system, etc.). The auxiliary central processing unit 20 stores all environment and user settings in the hard disk drive 40 along with the settings of the main central processing unit 10. In this way, the secondary central processing unit 20 achieves zero setting and is easy to use, so that the service required by the user can be replaced by the secondary central processing unit 20 without being seamed after the main central processing unit 10 is turned off.
請同時參閱圖2，為本發明電腦裝置的較佳實施方式的工作流程圖。首先，所述主中央處理器10處於工作狀態之中。當所述主中央處理器10準備關機時，所述主中央處理器10會將未完成的工作或者服務結束，並存儲於所述硬碟驅動器40之中，然後，所述主中央處理器10進行關機動作。所述輔中央處理器20所使用的作業 系統由所述電腦裝置中的基本輸入輸出系統從所述硬碟驅動器40中的系統恢復(System Recover)分割區將作業系統載入到所述動態隨機記憶體50中，以供所述輔中央處理器20開機時使用。然後，所述輔中央處理器20開機，所述電腦裝置從其基本輸入輸出系統中載入所述動態隨機記憶體50的作業系統進行開機。所述輔中央處理器20讀入所述硬碟驅動器40中的環境設定(例如，網路IP)及未完成的工作指令(例如，點對點傳檔未完成部分)後，所述輔中央處理器20同時啟動相關服務(例如，印表機服務)及繼續處理未完成的工作，一直到使用者再次開啟所述主中央處理器10為止。在這期間，所述輔中央處理器20接替所述主中央處理器10的相關服務。其中，可以修改所述電腦裝置的基本輸入輸出系統來決定所述輔中央處理器20的關閉時間，所述輔中央處理器20必須在所述電腦裝置的基本輸入輸出系統讀取所述硬碟驅動器40的驅動類型(HDD TYPE)或最晚在載入根分區(Boot Partition)之前就關機。 Please refer to FIG. 2 as a working flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the computer device of the present invention. First, the main central processing unit 10 is in an active state. When the main central processing unit 10 is ready to shut down, the main central processing unit 10 ends the unfinished work or service and stores it in the hard disk drive 40. Then, the main central processing unit 10 Perform a shutdown action. The work used by the secondary central processing unit 20 The system loads the operating system into the dynamic random memory 50 from a system recovery layer in the hard disk drive 40 by a basic input/output system in the computer device for the secondary center The processor 20 is used when it is powered on. Then, the auxiliary central processing unit 20 is powered on, and the computer device is powered on from the operating system of the dynamic random memory 50 loaded from its basic input/output system. After the secondary CPU 20 reads in the environment settings (eg, network IP) in the hard disk drive 40 and the unfinished work instructions (eg, the point-to-pointbound uncompleted portion), the secondary CPU 20 simultaneously initiates related services (e.g., printer service) and continues to process unfinished work until the user turns the main central processor 10 back on. During this time, the secondary central processing unit 20 takes over the associated services of the primary central processing unit 10. Wherein, the basic input/output system of the computer device can be modified to determine the shutdown time of the secondary central processing unit 20, and the secondary central processing unit 20 must read the hard disk in the basic input/output system of the computer device. The drive type (HDD TYPE) of the drive 40 is turned off before loading the root partition (Boot Partition) at the latest.
在本發明電腦裝置的較佳實施方式中，所述輔中央處理器20僅做特定的服務和工作，較所述主中央處理器10過多的功能及長時間開機對作業系統而言，所述輔中央處理器20比所述主中央處理器10更安全、更有效率。所述輔中央處理器20所使用的作業系統由所述電腦裝置中的基本輸入輸出系統將所述硬碟驅動器40中的系統恢復(System Recover)分割區載入到所述動態隨機記憶體50中，以供所述輔中央處理器20開機時使用，達到所述輔中央處理器20不需額外的快閃記憶體，降低了成本。 In a preferred embodiment of the computer device of the present invention, the secondary central processing unit 20 performs only specific services and operations, and has more functions than the primary central processing unit 10 and long-time booting of the operating system. The secondary central processor 20 is more secure and efficient than the primary central processing unit 10. The operating system used by the secondary central processing unit 20 loads a system recovery (System Recover) partition in the hard disk drive 40 into the dynamic random memory 50 by a basic input/output system in the computer device. In the case that the auxiliary central processing unit 20 is powered on, the auxiliary central processing unit 20 is not required to have additional flash memory, which reduces the cost.
當所述電腦裝置關機時，還是有+5V的供電供給所述輔中央處理 器20，像網路卡，鍵盤就是使用這+5V的電源。 When the computer device is turned off, there is still +5V power supply to the auxiliary central processing 20, like a network card, the keyboard is using this +5V power supply.
