Claims12
A device for displaying the condition of a computer-related apparatus comprising:
- a time unit for generating a timing signal;
- a register unit, connected with said time unit, for storing condition information of said information-processing device and updating said condition information based on said timing signal;
- a detecting mechanism, connected with said register unit, for detecting said condition information;
- and
- a display unit, connected with said register unit, for displaying said condition information.
A method for displaying the condition of a computer-related apparatus, which comprises a first register and a second register, comprising steps of:
- detecting said condition with a detecting mechanism;
- checking power supply of said computer-related apparatus, storing said condition to said first register when power supply is normal, and displaying said condition with a display unit;
- fetching a timing signal from said computer-related apparatus;
- checking power supply of said computer-related apparatus device and said timing signal, updating said condition to said first register when power supply is normal and said timing signal reaches a rising edge;
- copying said condition from said first register to said second register;
- and
- displaying said updated condition with said display unit.
