  • Publication number: 20150286274
    Abstract: A power supply device with reduced power consumption is electrically connected to a motherboard. The motherboard outputs a power-on signal or a power-off signal to the power supply device when being triggered. The power supply device includes a standby power supply module which modulates an external power to output a standby power. Upon receiving the power-on signal, the power supply device deactivates the standby power supply module, but activates a main power supply module to modulate the external power to output an operating power to the motherboard to replace the standby power. Upon receiving the power-off signal, the power supply device deactivates the main power supply module, but reactivates the standby power supply module so that the standby power supply module outputs the standby power to the motherboard.

  • Publication number: 20150108903
    Abstract: A method for controlling light emission of a light sensing keyboard is to save in advance a driving correlation table including a plurality of driving codes in the light sensing keyboard. Each driving code corresponds to a trigger signal and is triggered by the trigger signal to generate a driving signal which defines a light emission mode. When a light detection unit detects ambient light parameters, the trigger signal is generated and the driving code corresponding to the trigger signal is read from the driving correlation table. A control unit generates the driving signal according to the driving code to drive light emission elements to emit light and also control each light emission element to execute the light emission mode corresponding to the driving signal, thereby synchronous or asynchronous colored light alteration can be generated to provide flickering or alternate light alteration effect.
