摘要： When a user instructs acceleration or deceleration of the CPU processing speed with an “accelerator” button or a “brake” button, a speed control MMI informs power management system software of the corresponding information to change the CPU processing speed. The change is recorded on a speed management database in correspondence with the name of the application program which is currently being executed. Every time acceleration or deceleration of the CPU processing speed is instructed by the user, speed management data is formed on the speed management database. By using the speed management data, the CPU processing speed can be dynamically controlled for each piece of software when it is executed. Further disclosed is a novel power dissipation control system for a microprocessor, adapted to be used in conjunction with the above described MMI.

摘要： A CPU determines whether a password canceller is connected to a system main body prior to execution of password check processing on the basis of stored password information at the start of the system. When the password canceller is connected to the system main body, the CPU clears the stored password information to start the system. However, when the password canceller is not connected to system main body, the CPU executes password check processing and controls the start of the system.

摘要： A computer system capable of entering a sleep mode is disclosed. The rate at which the computer switches between a normal state and a stop grant state while in the sleep mode is controllable by a timer. The stop grant state is an intermediate power consumption state between the sleep mode and the normal state. The timer may include a software system management interrupt timer. The system may also include processing to determine the cause of the switch from the stop grant state to the normal state.

摘要： When a BIOS driver call request is generated in an environment of an OS operating in a protect mode, an IN or OUT instruction is executed to cause an I/O trap SMI generator to generate an I/O trap SMI. The mode of a CPU is switched from the protect mode to an SMM in accordance with the I/O trap SMI. In the SMM, the BIOS driver is executed. When the process of the BIOS driver is completed, the mode of the CPU is returned from the SMM to the protect mode, thereby shifting control to the OS. The BIOS can be directly called in the protect mode without building a routine for switching the CPU operating mode in the OS or application program operating in the protect mode.

摘要： Before a register provided exclusively for an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is set, a System Management Interrupt (SMI) is issued to a Central Processing Unit (CPU). A System Management-Basic Input Output System (SM-BIOS) performs the power management of a computer system. Values representing a wakeup factor of the system and a power management event are set in the register, and an Operating System Directed Power Management System (OSPM) is informed of a Power Management Event (PME). When the values are set in the register, an SMI is issued to the CPU, and the SM-BIOS performs the power management of the computer system.

摘要： When the user specifies the hours, minutes at which the system is to be started automatically, the year, month, day-of-month that the system is to be started automatically is determined by determining whether or not the specified hours, minutes has already passed the actual hours, minutes at the point in time at which the user specified the time. The determined year, month, day-of-month and the hours, minutes specified by the user are stored in a nonvolatile memory. In an RTC device, at least the hours, minutes of the year, month, day-of-month, hours, minutes stored in the memory can be set. When the actual hours, minutes has reached the set hours, minutes, the RTC device generates an alarm. When the RTC has generated an alarm, it is judged whether or not the actual year, month, day-of-month, hours, minutes at the point in time at which the alarm was generated coincides with the year, month, day-of-month, hours, minutes stored in the memory. If they coincide with each other, the automatic start-up of the system will be executed.
