Abstract
A network device includes a status displaying module, a network module, a processor, a power providing module, and a power saving circuit. The network module implements network functions of the network device. The status displaying module receives displaying signals from the network module. The processor directs the network module to implement the network functions. The power providing module provides power for the processor, the network module, and the status displaying module. The power saving circuit couples the displaying signals to obtain coupled signals and controls modes of the processor and the power providing module according to presence of the coupled signals.
Claims12
A network device, comprising:
- a network module operable to implement network functions of the network device;
- a status displaying module operable to receive displaying signals from the network module, to indicate operating status of the network device using a plurality of displaying signal transmission lines connecting the network module and the status displaying module;
- a processor operable to direct the network module to implement the network functions;
- a power providing module operable to provide power for the processor, the network module, and the status displaying module;
- and
- a power saving circuit coupled to the plurality of displaying signal transmission lines connecting the network module and the status displaying module, and operable to couple the displaying signals transmitted to the status displaying module from the network module to obtain coupled signals and to control modes of the processor and the power providing module according to existence of the coupled signals.
