COMPUTER SYSTEM AND OPERATION METHOD APPLICABLE THERETO
First Claim
1. An operation method for a computer system, comprising:
- detecting by a capacitive button controller whether a capacitive button group is touched;
receiving a power button signal in a first logic state by a system platform and changing an operation state of the system platform if a capacitive power button of the capacitive button group is touched;
shutting down the system platform if the capacitive power button is touched for longer than a predetermined time;
receiving the power button signal in a second logic state by the system platform and determining a subsequent operation state of the system platform and the capacitive button controller according to a system status signal if the capacitive power button is touched for not longer than the predetermined time; and
the capacitive button controller entering into a power saving state if the capacitive button group is touched but the capacitive power button is not touched.

Abstract
An operation method for a computer system includes: a capacitance button controller detecting whether a capacitance button group is touched; if a capacitance power button of the capacitance button group is touched, a system platform receiving a power button signal in a first logic state and changing an operation state of the system platform; if the capacitance power button is touched for longer than a predetermined time, shutting down the system platform; if the capacitance power button is touched for not longer than the predetermined time, the system platform receiving the power button signal in a second logic state and determining a subsequent operation status of the system platform and the capacitance button controller based on a system status signal; and if the capacitance button group is touched but the capacitance power button is not touched, the capacitance button controller entering into a power-saving state.

8. A computer system, comprising:
-
a capacitive button controller for detecting whether a capacitive button group is touched; and a system platform coupled to the capacitive button controller; wherein, the system platform receives a power button signal in a first logic state and changes an operation state thereof if the capacitive button controller detects a capacitive power button of the capacitive button group is touched; the system platform is shut down if the power button is touched for longer than a predetermined time; the system platform receives a power button signal in a second logic state, and determines a subsequent operation state of the system platform and the capacitive button controller according to a system status signal if the capacitive power button is touched for not longer than the predetermined time; and the capacitive button controller enters a power saving state if the capacitive button group is touched but the capacitive power button is not touched. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
