MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A monitoring system and method can determine whether an ambient intensity surrounding a computer is suitable for a user when the user is working with the computer. The system and method can adjust the intensity of a light source in responds to the ambient intensity being unsuitable for the user.

主权项

1. A monitoring system comprising:
a distance sensor outputting a distance signal regarding a distance between a user and an electronic device; a light sensor outputting a light signal regarding an ambient intensity surrounding the electronic device; an embedded controller predefining a first value and a second value, wherein the embedded controller receives the distance signal, and determines whether the distance between the user and the electronic device is less than the first value; the embedded controller determines whether the ambient intensity is less than the second value according to the light signal, in response to the distance being less than the first value; the embedded controller outputs an interrupt signal when the ambient intensity is less than the second value; a processor; and a storage module storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the processor to perform certain functions, the storage module comprising:
a control unit outputting a control signal to a light source, in response to receiving the interrupt signal, to increase the intensity of the light source.
