UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER EQUIPMENT AND COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH THE UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER EQUIPMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an uninterruptible power equipment with which processings at service interrupt can be conducted properly by a computer. SOLUTION: An arithmetic processing function section 22 for a microcomputer section 2 in an uninterruptible power equipment 1 arithmetically calculates the available time of a computer 3 and a printer 4, on the basis of the residual capacity of a battery 3 at service interrupt and informs the computer 3 of the available time through a communication facility section 24. The computer 3 determines the stop operation of peripheral equipment and the order of the stopping operation, such as the continuation or interrupt of the printing of the printer 4 and the shutdown period of the computer 3 in response to the available time. The uninterruptible power equipment 1 stops the supply of power by a command from the computer 3.
