POWER SAVING APPARATUS AND POWER SAVING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A power saving apparatus which is used to save the power consumption of the peripheral electrical devices of a host machine, comprising:
- a power controller, which has a first signal transmission interface, said first signal transmission interface detects the operation mode of said host machine by a second signal transmission interface of said host machine, said operation mode is a working mode or a non-working mode, said power controller outputs a first control signal according to the detection result, when said host machine is operated in said working mode, said first signal is a staring signal of power supply, when the host machine is operated in said non-working mode, said first signal is a stop signal of power supply; and
a power socket, said power socket communicates with said power controller and receives said first control signal, and said power socket controls the power-on or off of said power socket according to said first control signal, when said host machine is operated in said non-working mode, said power socket will turn off the power supplied to the peripheral electrical devices of said host machine.

Abstract
A power saving apparatus and power saving method thereof are disclosed. The apparatus includes a power controller and a power outlet, wherein the power controller has a first signal transmission interface, said first signal transmission signal interface is used to detect the operation mode of a host machine by a second signal transmission interface of said host machine, and outputs a controlling signal according to the operation mode of said host machine. The power socket communicates with the power controller and switches the power-on or off according to the control signal. When the host machine is operated in non-working mode, the power socket will turn off the power supplied to the peripheral electrical devices of the host machines, so as to save the power consumption of the peripheral electrical devices of the host machines.

8. A power saving method of the power saving apparatus, which is used to save the power consumption of the peripheral electrical devices of a host machine, said power saving apparatus comprising a power controller and a power socket, said power saving method comprising:
-
said power controller uses a first signal transmission interface to communicate with a second signal transmission interface of a host machine, so as to detect an operation mode of said host machine, said operation mode is a working mode or a non-working mode; said power controller outputs a control signal to said power socket according to the detection result, when said host machine is operated in said working mode, said control signal is a start signal for power supply, when said host machine is operated in said non-working mode, said control signal is a stop signal for power supply; and said power controller controls the turn-on or off of the power of said power socket which supplied to the peripheral electrical devices of said host machine according to said control signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
