Disclosed is a hybrid-system computer comprising a first system, a second system and a power supply unit, wherein the power supply unit is connected to the first system and the second system, respectively, and wherein power consumption in an operating state of the second system is lower than that in an operating state of the first system; the hybrid-system computer further comprises: a triggering unit configured for obtaining a switching command when the first system is in an operating state and the second system is in a non-operating state; and a switching unit connected to the triggering unit, the first system and the second system, respectively, and configured for receiving the switching command and controlling the first system to enter a non-operating state and the second system to enter an operating state based on the switching command. With the hybrid-system computer, in the case that only low power consumption applications are required, the first system is caused to enter a non-operating state, and the second system is put into an operating state. Therefore, the overall power consumption can be effectively reduced.

The present invention provides a data processing device and a method for switching states thereof. The data processing device comprises an operating system and a communication interface for communicating with another data processing device, wherein the communication interface is enabled when the operating system stays in the operating state of the operating system, and the communication interface is disabled when the operating system stays in a low-power-consumption state. The method for switching states comprises the following steps of: detecting whether the communication interface stays in the operating state of the communication interface and generating detection information; determining whether the operating system stays in the operating state of the operating system when the detection information indicates that the communication interface stays in the operating state of the communication interface, and generating determination information; generating a system state holding command when the determination information indicates that the operating system stays in the operating state of the operating system; and controlling the operating system to stay in the operating state of the operating system based on the system state holding command. The present invention can not only secure communication via the data communication interface, but also allow the operating system to handle normally and stably an interrupt, so as to reduce the system power consumption.
