Description
本發明係關於一種電腦裝置,特別是一種可依據不同情境調整系統效能之可攜式電腦及其系統效能調整方法。The invention relates to a computer device, in particular to a portable computer capable of adjusting system performance according to different situations and a system performance adjustment method thereof.
可攜式電腦一直以來均朝向輕薄化發展,為了維持其系統之執行效能,其散熱問題也越來越受到重視。但隨著裝置體積逐漸縮減,其內部可利用空間相對地受到限制,如何設置適當之散熱模組,且能盡量降低散熱風扇所產生之噪音,將是影響電腦效能的一大關鍵。Portable computers have always been developed towards thin and light, and in order to maintain the performance of their systems, their heat dissipation issues have received increasing attention. However, as the device volume is gradually reduced, the internal available space is relatively limited. How to set a proper heat dissipation module and minimize the noise generated by the cooling fan will be a key factor affecting the performance of the computer.
一般可攜式電腦在出廠時,已於BIOS內設定好固定之熱表(thermal table)參數,隨著裝置內部元件因效能執行而使得溫度上升時,系統即可依據熱表參數來調整散熱風扇轉速或處理器等效能,這些熱表參數僅能透過BIOS更新或升級來進行修改。然而,對於不同使用者來說,其所能忍受之裝置溫度高低並不相同,有些使用者不希望鍵盤或觸控板等輸入裝置產生高溫,且散熱風扇盡量保持靜音,以提高使用舒適度;有些使用者反而希望能電腦能夠維持較佳之執行效能,並不介意舒適度之問題。此外,即使針對可攜式電腦之不同使用情境下,其亦應有不同之對應效能調整。在前述熱表參數固定之狀況下,已限制了電腦設定上之自由度,使得使用者僅能隨電腦初始設定而操作,並無法滿足不同使用者或使用情境之要求。Generally, when the portable computer is shipped from the factory, a fixed thermal table parameter is set in the BIOS. When the temperature of the internal components of the device is increased due to performance, the system can adjust the cooling fan according to the heat meter parameters. Speed or processor equivalent, these hot-list parameters can only be modified via BIOS update or upgrade. However, for different users, the temperature of the device that they can tolerate is not the same. Some users do not want the input device such as the keyboard or the touchpad to generate high temperature, and the cooling fan is kept as quiet as possible to improve the comfort of use; Some users hope that the computer can maintain better performance and does not care about comfort. In addition, even for the different usage scenarios of portable computers, there should be different corresponding performance adjustments.

請參考圖2係本發明之系統效能調整方法之流程圖。須注意的是,以下雖以圖1所示之可攜式電腦10為例說明本發明之系統效能調整方法,但本發明並不以適用於可攜式電腦10為限。如圖2所示,本發明之系統開機之管理方法包括步驟S201至步驟S203。以下將詳細說明本發明之系統效能調整方法之各個步驟。Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a system performance adjustment method of the present invention. It should be noted that although the portable computer 10 shown in FIG. 1 is taken as an example to illustrate the system performance adjustment method of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the portable computer 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the method for managing booting of the system of the present invention includes steps S201 to S203. The various steps of the system performance adjustment method of the present invention will be described in detail below.
步驟S201:偵測可攜式電腦10於表面之不同位置之環境溫度,以取得複數溫度資料。可攜式電腦10於鄰接本體100表面之不同位置處,設置複數溫度偵測模組110,例如使用者容易接觸到之本體底部、觸控板(或鍵盤)及散熱出風口等表面位置,以於這些位置測得相對應之複數環境溫度資料。Step S201: Detecting the ambient temperature of the portable computer 10 at different positions on the surface to obtain a plurality of temperature data. The portable computer 10 is disposed at a different position adjacent to the surface of the body 100, and is provided with a plurality of temperature detecting modules 110, such as a bottom surface of the body, a touch panel (or keyboard), and a heat dissipation air outlet. The corresponding multiple ambient temperature data were measured at these locations.
步驟S202:判斷複數溫度資料之其中至少一者是否超過對應之溫度設定資料。在前述步驟S201測得相對應位置之環境溫度資料後,先由控制模組120之嵌入式控制器121接收複數溫度資料,再提供給設定模組122b,以將各溫度資料與溫度設定資料122c中各對應位置之各環境溫度上限值相互比對,判斷複數溫度資料之其中至少一者是否超過對應之溫度設定資料,但本發明不以此為限,亦可藉由判斷複數溫度資料之平均值是否超過所設定之溫度設定資料做為依據。Step S202: Determine whether at least one of the plurality of temperature data exceeds the corresponding temperature setting data. After the ambient temperature data of the corresponding position is measured in the foregoing step S201, the plurality of temperature data is received by the embedded controller 121 of the control module 120, and then supplied to the setting module 122b to set the temperature data and the temperature setting data 122c. The upper limit values of the respective ambient temperatures of the corresponding positions are compared with each other, and it is determined whether at least one of the plurality of temperature data exceeds the corresponding temperature setting data, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the plurality of temperature data may be judged by Whether the average value exceeds the set temperature setting data is used as the basis.
步驟S203:依據對複數溫度資訊之判斷結果,以對應調整可攜式電腦10之系統效能。在前述步驟S202得知比對判斷結果後,控制模組120之設定模組122b可傳送判斷結果至嵌入式控制器121,以使得嵌入式控制器121對應產生不同之控制訊號至處理模組130或/及至少一散熱風扇140處,藉由調整中央處理單元131之運轉頻率、顯示處理單元132之運轉頻率及至少一散熱風扇140之轉速之其中至少一者,以達到調整系統效能之功效。Step S203: Adjusting the system performance of the portable computer 10 according to the judgment result of the plurality of temperature information. After the comparison result is obtained in the foregoing step S202, the setting module 122b of the control module 120 can transmit the determination result to the embedded controller 121, so that the embedded controller 121 correspondingly generates different control signals to the processing module 130. Or at least one of the cooling fans 140, by adjusting at least one of the operating frequency of the central processing unit 131, the operating frequency of the display processing unit 132, and the rotational speed of the at least one cooling fan 140, to achieve the effect of adjusting system performance.
舉例來說,假設溫度設定資料122c中針對本體底部、觸控板(或鍵盤)及散熱出風口等位置之環境溫度上限值各為36、37及38℃,當所測得之複數溫度資料中,有任一個溫度資料已超過對應位置之環境溫度上限值時(例如測得觸控板之溫度資料為39℃),控制模組120可判定目前系統為過熱狀態,進而產生降低系統效能之控制訊號,以通知處理模組130調降運轉頻率,或/及通知至少一散熱風扇140增加轉速提高散熱效果;而當所測得之複數溫度資料均未超過對應位置之環境溫度上限值時,控制模組120可判定目前系統為穩定狀態,若複數溫度資料距離各環境溫度上限值仍有一定差距,控制模組120可產生提高系統效能之控制訊號,以通知處理模組130調升運轉頻率,或/及通知至少一散熱風扇140減少轉速以降低電力消耗。For example, assume that the upper limit of the ambient temperature of the temperature setting data 122c for the bottom of the body, the touchpad (or keyboard), and the heat dissipation air outlet are 36, 37, and 38 ° C, respectively, when the measured multiple temperature data When any temperature data has exceeded the upper limit of the ambient temperature of the corresponding position (for example, the temperature data of the touch panel is 39 ° C), the control module 120 can determine that the current system is in an overheated state, thereby reducing system efficiency. Controlling the signal to notify the processing module 130 to reduce the operating frequency, or/and informing at least one of the cooling fans 140 to increase the rotational speed to improve the heat dissipation effect; and when the measured plurality of temperature data does not exceed the ambient temperature upper limit of the corresponding position The control module 120 can determine that the current system is in a stable state. If the plurality of temperature data still has a certain distance from the upper limit of the ambient temperature, the control module 120 can generate a control signal for improving the system performance to notify the processing module 130 to adjust. The operating frequency is increased, or/and at least one of the cooling fans 140 is notified to reduce the rotational speed to reduce power consumption.
請一併參考圖3。圖3係本發明所產生之溫度設定介面310之示意圖。如圖1及圖3所示,當可攜式裝置10載入作業系統122a後,會透過顯示裝置(圖未示)顯示作業系統122a之系統桌面300,而在狀態下設定模組122b一旦被執行,即於系統桌面300上產生溫度設定介面310,以顯示可攜式電腦10之相關溫度資料,供使用者判斷並進行對應操作。Please refer to Figure 3 together. 3 is a schematic illustration of a temperature setting interface 310 produced by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, after the portable device 10 is loaded into the operating system 122a, the system desktop 300 of the operating system 122a is displayed through the display device (not shown), and in the state, the setting module 122b is once Executing, a temperature setting interface 310 is generated on the system desktop 300 to display the relevant temperature data of the portable computer 10 for the user to judge and perform corresponding operations.
溫度設定介面310係包括環境溫度欄位311、溫度設定欄位312及調整功能鍵313。環境溫度欄位311用以顯示藉由設置於不同位置之溫度偵測模組110所即時測得之環境溫度值;溫度設定欄位312用以顯示對應於不同位置所設定之環境溫度上限值;而調整功能鍵313則用以調整其所對應之溫度設定欄位312之環境溫度上限值。The temperature setting interface 310 includes an ambient temperature field 311, a temperature setting field 312, and an adjustment function key 313. The ambient temperature field 311 is used to display the ambient temperature value measured by the temperature detecting module 110 disposed at different positions; the temperature setting field 312 is used to display the ambient temperature upper limit corresponding to the different position. The adjustment function key 313 is used to adjust the ambient temperature upper limit value of the temperature setting field 312 corresponding thereto.
除了前述可攜式電腦10可依據預設之環境溫度上限值自動調整系統效能外,使用者亦可視自身需求,透過溫度設定介面310之調整功能鍵313,自行調整溫度設定欄位312所顯示之環境溫度上限值,以改變預設之溫度設定資料122c。沿用前例,當使用者覺得所測得之環境溫度尚可忍受,且希望繼續加強可攜式電腦10之系統效能時,可透過溫度設定介面310調整各環境溫度上限值為40、40及40℃,如此將改變溫度設定資料122c之原有值,讓控制模組120在比對判斷上有更大的效能調整空間。此外,為了免除使用者調整過當而使得可攜式電腦10產生灼熱不適感,設定模組122b針對溫度設定資料122c可調整之環境溫度最高上限值約為攝氏40至45度之間,但本發明不以此為限。In addition to the above-mentioned portable computer 10, the system performance can be automatically adjusted according to the preset ambient temperature upper limit value, and the user can adjust the temperature setting field 312 by using the adjustment function key 313 of the temperature setting interface 310 according to his own needs. The ambient temperature upper limit value is used to change the preset temperature setting data 122c. In the previous example, when the user feels that the measured ambient temperature is still tolerable and wants to continue to enhance the system performance of the portable computer 10, the upper limit of each ambient temperature can be adjusted through the temperature setting interface 310 to 40, 40, and 40. °C, this will change the original value of the temperature setting data 122c, so that the control module 120 has a greater performance adjustment space in the comparison judgment. In addition, in order to avoid the user's adjustment, the portable computer 10 generates a burning discomfort, and the upper limit of the ambient temperature that can be adjusted by the setting module 122b for the temperature setting data 122c is between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius, but The invention is not limited to this.
藉此,本發明係依據可攜式電腦所測得之環境溫度狀態,進而因應自動調整可攜式電腦之系統效能,並且亦能透過所產生之溫度設定介面,供使用者自行調整環境溫度上限值,手動控制可攜式電腦之系統效能,以帶給使用者較佳之使用感受。Therefore, the present invention is based on the ambient temperature state measured by the portable computer, and thus automatically adjusts the system performance of the portable computer, and can also adjust the ambient temperature through the generated temperature setting interface. Limits, manually control the system performance of the portable computer to give the user a better experience.
圖4係本發明之系統效能調整方法之另一實施例之流程圖。在本實施例中同樣以圖1所示之可攜式電腦10為例加以說明。如圖4所示,在本發明之另一實施例中,於步驟S203後更包括步驟S204至S206。4 is a flow chart of another embodiment of a system performance adjustment method of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the portable computer 10 shown in FIG. 1 is also taken as an example for description. As shown in FIG. 4, in another embodiment of the present invention, steps S204 to S206 are further included after step S203.
步驟S204:取得一即時影像。可攜式電腦10可藉由影像擷取模組150,用以取得可攜式電腦10週遭之即時影像。此處影像擷取模組150可採用定時或不定時之方式取得即時影像,在本實施例中,由於考量可攜式電腦10在系統運作過程中,其溫度並不會在瞬間大幅提高而是逐漸上昇,因此影像擷取模組150可採用間歇性方式取得即時影像(例如每5至10秒擷取一次),以避免不必要之電力消耗。Step S204: Acquire an instant image. The portable computer 10 can be used to obtain an instant image of the portable computer 10 by using the image capturing module 150. Here, the image capturing module 150 can obtain the real-time image in a timed or irregular manner. In this embodiment, since the portable computer 10 is in the process of system operation, the temperature thereof is not greatly increased in an instant. Gradually, the image capture module 150 can obtain an instant image in an intermittent manner (for example, every 5 to 10 seconds) to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
步驟S205:藉由即時影像計算一使用者與可攜式電腦10之間隔距離。在前述步驟S204中取得即時影像後,控制模組120之設定模組122b可接收該即時影像,並針對即時影像進行影像分析處理。設定模組122b係判斷即時影像內是否存在使用者之影像,藉由影像大小或比例等來計算使用者與可攜式電腦10之間隔距離。Step S205: Calculate a distance between the user and the portable computer 10 by using the instant image. After the instant image is obtained in the foregoing step S204, the setting module 122b of the control module 120 can receive the live image and perform image analysis processing on the live image. The setting module 122b determines whether there is a user's image in the instant image, and calculates the separation distance between the user and the portable computer 10 by the image size or the ratio.
步驟S206:依據間隔距離對應調整可攜式電腦10之系統效能。當設定模組122b判斷所計算出之使用者與可攜式電腦10之間隔距離小於一設定距離時,表示使用者可能正在使用可攜式電腦10,為提高使用者使用時之舒適感,控制模組120可產生降低系統效能之控制訊號,以降低系統效能並提高散熱效果;反之,當設定模組122b判斷所計算出之使用者與可攜式電腦10之間隔距離大於設定距離,甚至未存在使用者之影像時,表示使用者可能遠離可攜式電腦10(例如透過可攜式電腦10播放影片等),此時控制模組120則可產生提高系統效能之控制訊號,藉以增強影片播放或執行其他應用程式之流暢度。Step S206: Adjust the system performance of the portable computer 10 according to the interval distance. When the setting module 122b determines that the calculated distance between the user and the portable computer 10 is less than a set distance, it indicates that the user may be using the portable computer 10, so as to improve the comfort of the user, control The module 120 can generate a control signal for reducing system performance to reduce system performance and improve heat dissipation. Conversely, when the setting module 122b determines that the calculated distance between the user and the portable computer 10 is greater than a set distance, or even When there is an image of the user, the user may be away from the portable computer 10 (for example, playing a movie through the portable computer 10). At this time, the control module 120 can generate a control signal for improving the system performance, thereby enhancing the video playback. Or perform fluency of other applications.
藉此設計,本發明亦可依據可攜式電腦與使用者之相對距離不同,而因應調整系統效能,以提供更智慧化之效能執行動作。By this design, the present invention can also adjust the system performance according to the relative distance between the portable computer and the user, so as to provide a more intelligent performance execution action.
