Abstract: A power control system and a power control method are provided. The power control system is adapted to a computer device. The computer device comprises an embedded controller and a power supply both coupled to each other. The power supply provides power to the embedded controller. The power control system comprises a device switch input terminal and a logic output terminal. The device switch input terminal receives a trigger signal from a component of the computer device to change a state of the computer system. The logic output terminal is coupled to the power supply and performs on-off control of the power supply to provide or stop power to the embedded controller when the switch input terminal receives the trigger signal.

Abstract: An exemplary notebook computer includes a smart battery, a number of status indicator lights, a function key and a control unit electrically coupled to the smart battery, the status indicator lights and the function key. In the condition that the notebook computer is situated either in a shutdown mode or in a power saving mode and the function key is pressed, the control unit reads the data of the remaining capacity of the smart battery through a bus between the smart battery and the control unit so as to calculate the remaining capacity of the smart battery. Thus, the control unit can control the status indicator lights to be light on/off to display the information of the remaining capacity of the smart battery.
