Patent number: 6425040Abstract: When a PC main body wakes up, docking condition discrimination for checking if a LAN controller can be used is made. If the docking condition is satisfied, the LAN controller is set in an operative state, and the PC main body is used while being locked by a lock mechanism. When the WOL function is enabled, a signal WOLEN is activated. In this state, even when the PC main body goes to a sleep state and a signal DOCPWON is turned off, the LAN controller is kept powered. In this case, since the lock mechanism is unlocked, the user can immediately detach the PC main body from a LAN docker and can carry it to a location of his or her choice.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1999Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Koichi Dewa, Toru Hanada, Makoto Kosaka
