Abstract

A power control method for a computer system is disclosed. The computer system establishes wireless connection with a handheld equipment via a wireless communication interface. The power control method includes receiving a sound signal transmitted from the handheld equipment via the wireless communication interface when the computer system operates in a shut-down state, recognizing the sound signal to generate a recognition result, and starting the computer system when the recognition result indicates that the sound signal conforms to a start command.

Claims

1. A power control method for a computer system, the computer system establishing wireless connection with a handheld equipment via a wireless communication interface, the power control method comprising:

receiving a sound signal transmitted from the handheld equipment via the wireless communication interface when the computer system operates at a shut-down state;

recognizing the sound signal to generate a recognition result; and

starting the computer system when the recognition result indicates that the sound signal conforms to a start command.

2. A power control system for a computer system, comprising:

a handheld equipment comprising;

a microphone, for receiving a sound signal; and

a transmission unit, establishing wireless connection with the computer system via a wireless communication interface, for outputting the sound signal via the wireless communication interface; and

a power control device, installed in the computer system, comprising;

a reception unit, for receiving the sound signal transmitted from the transmission unit via the wireless communication interface when the computer system operates at a shut-down state;

a recognition unit, for recognizing the sound signal received by the reception unit, to generate a recognition result; and

a control unit, for starting the computer system when the recognition result indicates that the sound signal conforms to a start command.
