Abstract
An alarm and a detection and alarming method thereof are disclosed. The alarm is used to monitor a computer system. The alarm comprises a control module, a motion sensor and a user input interface circuit. The method comprises the following steps: activating an alarming procedure by the user input interface circuit; detecting whether a motion signal is generated or not; if yes, executing an instruction inputting procedure; determining whether a correct instruction is inputted or not; if yes, deactivating the alarming procedure; and if not, executing an alarm.
Claims20
An alarm for use in a computer system, wherein the computer system has a computer host and the alarm receives power from the computer host,
- the alarm comprising:
- a control module for electrically connecting to the computer host;
- a motion sensor electrically connected to the control module, for detecting whether the alarm is moving or not;
- and
- a user input interface circuit electrically connected to the control module, allowing a user to activate or deactivate the motion sensor, wherein the control module is used for detecting whether the motion sensor generates a motion signal after the motion sensor is activated, and if yes, causes the computer system to execute an alarm.
An alarm for using in a computer system, wherein the computer system comprises a computer host, and the alarm receives power from the computer host, the alarm comprising:
- an Express interface or a PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) interface electrically connected to the computer host for receiving the power;
- a control module for electrically connecting to the interface;
- a motion sensor electrically connected to the control module for detecting whether the alarm is moving or not;
- and
- a user input interface circuit electrically connected to the control module allowing a user to activate or deactivate the motion sensor, wherein the control module is used for detecting whether the motion sensor generates a motion signal after the motion sensor is activated, and if yes, causes the computer system to execute an alarm.
A computer system having an alarm comprising:
- a computer host having a power supply module used for supplying power;
- and
- an alarm electrically connected to the computer host for receiving the power, the alarm comprising:
- a control module for electrically connecting to the computer host;
- a motion sensor electrically connected to the control module, for detecting whether the alarm is moving or not;
- and
- a user input interface circuit electrically connected to the control module, allowing a user to activate or deactivate the motion sensor, wherein the control module is used for detecting whether the motion sensor generates a motion signal after the motion sensor is activated, and if yes, causes the computer system to execute an alarm.
A computer system having an alarm comprising:
- a computer host having a power supply module used for supplying power;
- and
- an alarm electrically connected to the computer host for receiving the power, the alarm comprising:
- an Express interface or a PCMCIA interface electrically connected to the computer host for receiving the power;
- a control module for electrically connecting to the interface;
- a motion sensor electrically connected to the control module for detecting whether the alarm is moving or not;
- and
- an user input interface circuit electrically connected to the control module allowing a user to activate or deactivate the motion sensor,
- wherein the control module is used for detecting whether the motion sensor generates a motion signal after the motion sensor is activated, and if yes, causes the computer system to execute an alarm.
A method of detection and alarming for a computer system motion, the method comprising:
- detecting whether an alarming procedure of the computer system is activated or not;
- if an alarming procedure is started, detecting whether a motion signal for the computer system is generated or not;
- if yes, executing a instruction inputting procedure;
- determining whether a correct instruction is inputted to the computer system or not;
- if yes, lifting the alarming procedure;
- and
- if no, executing an alarm.
