1. A human machine interface coupled to a signal source, the signal source transmitting a monitored signal, the human machine interface comprising:
- a case;
a display unit displaying the monitored signal;
a recoding module provided for a user to record a first trigger signal;
a storage unit storing the first trigger signal;
a comparing module comparing the first trigger signal with the monitored signal, the comparing module generating a notification signal when the comparing module detects the first trigger signal appearing in the monitored signal; and
a control module receiving the notification signal from the comparing module and generating a first alert signal, the first alert signal being displayed on the human machine interface,wherein the human machine interface is coupled to a processing device, the signal source is a multimedia display program, a game program, or an operating system, the monitored signal is an output signal from a sound effect device in the processing device.

Abstract
A human machine interface includes a display screen coupled to a processing device. The display screen is disposed on a case and displays an image frame. In the processing unit, a comparing module compares a first trigger signal stored in a storage unit with a monitored signal transmitted from a signal source. A notification signal is generated when the first trigger signal is detected appearing in the monitored signal. A control module receives the notification signal and generates a first alert signal to display in the image frame or on the case.

18. A human machine interface coupled to a network signal informing end, the network signal informing end transmitting an event signal, the human machine interface comprising:
-
a case; a storage unit storing a first trigger signal; a comparing module comparing the first trigger signal with the event signal, the comparing module generating a notification signal when the first trigger signal and the event signal substantially match; and a control module receiving the notification signal from the comparing module and generating a first alert signal, the first alert signal being displayed on the case, wherein the human machine interface is able to enter or leave an energy saving state;
the human machine interface is coupled to the network signal informing end through a processing device;
the processing device is able to output a wake-up command to request the human machine interface leave the energy saving state;
wherein when the human machine interface is in the energy saving state, the human machine interface stops working, and the first alert signal is displayed on the case;when the human machine interface receives the wake-up command and leaves the energy saving state, the human machine interface returns to work and stops displaying the first alert signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
