参考图 1 , 该图是一种内置无线模块的 X86架构计算机组成图。 无线模块首先读取 SIM卡或是 USIM卡里面存储加密的密钥等 内容, 发送给移动网络的基站进行鉴别, 如果鉴别成功这时移动网络 运营商则提供相应的服务,无线模块得到了基站所回馈的初始化数据 传送给计算机, 驱动程序控制计算机系统做出相应的显示或控制操 作, 这时无线模块跟移动基站保持通信(不同制式的网络都会有标准 协议规定无线终端与移动基站的间隔通信的时间,以保证移动基站能 随时检测到终端的状态), 计算机和无线模块都处于等待呼入电话或 短信状态, 但此时计算机 CPU和芯片组都处于工作状态, 功耗很大, 不能像真正的手机一样在静态待机时保持低功耗,如果这时让操作系 统执行待机(关机或休眠)此时无线模块将受计算机控制而失去和移 动基站的通信, 并且无法唤醒。 参考图 2,该图是内置无线模块的 X86架构计算机在系统待机(关 机或休眠)的情况下呼入电话或短信时, 能随时唤醒计算机系统恢复 正常工作状态的实现示意图。
本实施例中该计算机包括有控制电路,所述无线模块通过控制电 路控制与计算机电池相连,所述控制电路包括电源管理单元用于控制 在计算机待机、休眠或关机时由所述计算机电池直接对无线模块独立 供电使其保持工作状态, 另外, 所述无线模块包括有激活处理单元, 用于在呼入语音或数据业务时发送请求激活计算机的信号; 所述控制电路还包括有唤醒处理单元, 用于检测、分析并确定所 述请求激活计算机的信号, 然后向计算机发送激活计算机的控制信 号。
需要说明的, 本发明中为实现唤醒或电源管理等, 可根据唤醒或 电源管理的需求,对例如无线模块以及控制电路相应接口的含义进行 定义即可, 这里不再赘述。 另外, 还需要说明的, 所述控制电路可全部或者部分集成在无线 模块内, 或单独模块化为一个组件, 或全部或者部分直接整合集成在 计算机主板上。 本实施例中无线模块首先读取 SIM卡或是 USIM卡里面存储加 密的密钥等内容,发送给移动网络的基站进行鉴别, 如果鉴别成功这 时移动网络运营商则提供相应的服务,无线模块接收到了基站所回馈 的初始化数据并传送给计算机,驱动程序控制计算机系统做出相应的 显示或控制操作, 这时无线模块跟移动基站保持通信, 计算机和无线 模块都处于静态待机等待呼入电话或短信状态, 此时如果手动待机
(关机或休眠 )或者是在操作系统电源管理下设置自动进入待机 (关 机或休眠)的时间,例如 1分钟自动进入,如果达到一分钟设定值后, 操作系统系统自动执行进入待机(关机或休眠 )命令, 计算机将切断 对无线模块的控制, 此时计算机进入待机(休眠或关机)状态, 此无 线模块脱离计算机系统控制后,便会自控, 不会受到计算机系统待机
(关机或休眠) 的影响仍然正常与移动网络基站保持间隔通信,; 或 者
例如 1分钟自动进入, 如果达到一分钟设定值后,操作系统系统 自动执行进入待机(关机或休眠 )命令, 此时计算机执行操作系统的 待机命令, 同时将向无线模块发送一组待机 (关机或休眠)的通知信 号, 无线模块接收到此信号后通过与控制电路相连的接口(标准或非 标准接口)发送一组请求信号, 送入控制电路进行检测, 分析, 判断 后, 如果检测出是有效信号,控制电路便会对无线模块的供电从计算 机供给切换到由控制电路来单独供给, 此过程结束之后, 计算机将完 全切断对无线模块的控制,此时计算机进入待机(休眠或关机)状态, 无线模块脱离计算机系统控制后, 独立获得供电依然保持工作, 不会 受到计算机系统待机(关机或休眠)的影响仍然正常与移动网络基站 保持间隔通信。 由于此时整机功耗处于很低的状态,是正常待机下的数分之一功 耗(一般保持在 0.2 0.3W左右 ), 而此时无线模块处于正常与移动基 站间隔保持通信中。 而当有呼入电话或短信移动基站将呼叫信号发送给无线模块,无 线模块接收到此信号后通过与控制电路相连的接口 (标准或非标准接 口)发送一组请求信号,此信号会再次送入控制电路进行检测,分析, 判断后, 如果检测出是有效信号, 控制电路则通过与计算机相连的接 口 (标准或非标准接口)产生控制信号并激活计算机系统恢复正常, 此时计算机被唤醒获得对无线模块的控制权,无线模块产生了振铃请 求信号,计算机系统的驱动程序处理了这个请求后则控制声卡输出声 音, 此时产生振铃提示, 计算机便可以控制接听或挂断电话, 以及收 发短信等操作, 此时如果不进行任何操作, 计算机系统又能自动进入 待机(关机或睡眠), 如此循环, 既保证了无线模块的正常工作, 又 解决了计算机硬件的连续工作, 整机功耗和发热大的问题, 计算机待 机时间将从原来电池供电的 2 ~ 8小时提高到 5天甚至更长的待机时 间, 延长了整机的使用时间。
下面以一个具体的例子进行说明, 本实例为一台内置 HSDPA无 线模块的 4.8 寸触摸屏的 UMPC, 此机器的电池电压为 11.1 伏, 2300mAh容量,电池的功率大约为 25.5瓦特, 此机器最长工作的时间 约为 8小时, 整机功耗大约为 3.2瓦特, 内置的无线模块是 Mini PCI E接口形式的,此接口特点可以随时拆卸模块,换上不同无线类型的 模块实现不同的无线接入功能以方便升级,此计算机主板和无线模块 具备了在计算机系统处于待机(关机或休眠)下的激活计算机系统的 功能, 此机器预装 Windows XP Professional专业版操作系统, 操 作系统里面安装有控制内置无线模块和计算机的唤醒管理软件。
在开机进入 Windows XP后, 内置无线模块的驱动软件也跟随 启动, 这时候无线模块开始初始化, 首先读取 SIM卡或是 USIM卡 里面存储加密的密钥等内容, 发送给移动网络的基站进行鉴别, 如果 鉴别成功这时移动网络运营商则提供相应的服务,无线模块接收到了 基站所回馈的初始化数据并传送给计算机,驱动程序控制计算机系统 做出相应的显示或控制操作, 这时无线模块跟移动基站保持通信, 计 算机和无线模块都处于静态待机等待呼入电话或短信状态,此时如果 手动待机 (关机或休眠 )或者是在唤醒管理软件中设置自动进入待机 (关机或休眠) 的时间, 例如 2分钟自动进入, 如果达到设定值后, Windows操作系统系统便自动执行进入待机 (关机或休眠)命令, 此 时计算机执行 Windows XP操作系统的待机命令, 同时将向无线模块 发送一组待机(关机或休眠)的通知信号, 无线模块接收到此信号后 通过与控制电路相连的接口(标准或非标准接口)发送一组请求信号, 送入控制电路进行检测, 分析, 判断后, 如果检测出是有效信号, 控 制电路便会对无线模块的供电从计算机供给切换到由控制电路来单 独供给, 此过程结束之后, 计算机将完全切断对无线模块的控制, 此 时计算机进入待机(休眠或关机)状态, 无线模块脱离计算机系统控 制后, 独立获得供电依然保持工作, 不会受到计算机系统待机(关机 或休眠)的影响仍然正常与移动网络基站保持间隔通信, 而当有呼入 电话或短信移动基站将呼叫信号发送给无线模块,无线模块接收到此 信号后通过与控制电路相连的接口(标准或非标准接口)发送一组请 求信号, 信号会再次送入控制电路进行检测, 分析, 判断后, 如果检 测出是有效信号,控制电路则通过与计算机相连的接口(标准或非标 准接口)产出控制信号并激活计算机,, Windows XP系统恢复正常, 此时 Windows XP系统被唤醒计算机获得对无线模块的控制权, 无线 模块产生了振铃请求信号, 内置无线模块在 Windows 系统下的驱动 软件处理了这个请求后则控制声卡输出声音, 此时产生振铃提示, 此 时可以点击触摸屏幕, 或者是快捷接听按键控制接听或挂断电话, 以 及收发短信等操作。
而如果不进行任何操作, 唤醒管理软件在用户设定自动进入 Windwos XP待机(休眠或关机)的时间值下, 自动执行进入待机 (关 机或睡眠), 如此循环, 既保证了无线模块的正常工作, 又解决了整 机功耗的问题, 经实测此机器从 8小时的使用时间, 大大延长到了 5 天左右的待机时间,发热量低到可以忽略不计,此 4.8寸 UMPC实现 计算机在处于待机 (关机或休眠 )下激活 Windows XP系统恢复正常 工作后, 可以称的上一部真正强大的计算机手机。 以上所述是本发明的优选实施方式, 应当指出,对于本技术领域 的普通技术人员来说, 在不脱离本发明原理的前提下, 还可以做出若 干改进和润饰, 这些改进和润饰也视为本发明的保护范围。
