Apparatus for controlling standby power

摘要

A standby power control apparatus includes: a power-supply unit (110) for providing individual components with necessary power-supply voltages; an interface unit (120) for interfacing a signal transmitted from a computer; an I/O terminal unit (130) for transmitting input signals received from a mouse and a keyboard to a microprocessor; a switching unit (140) for switching switches according to an external control signal; anindividualload detector (150) for detecting load of a peripheral device on the basis of the received power-supply state; a sensor (160) for determining the presence or absence of a user; a microprocessor (170) for switching the switching unit according to first to third input signals to control a power-supply voltage generated from the sockets; an individual drive signal generator (180) for generating a drive signal to switch the switches of the switching unit; and a monitoring/management unit (190) for transmitting a power-supply control command signal to the microprocessor, and providing the user with various administrator setup menus.
