Status Controlling System, Computer System, and Status Detecting Method Thereof

A status detecting method, adopted in a computer system, the computer system including a main control module, a basic input output system and an embedded control module, the embedded control module being electrically connected with the basic input output system via a system controlling interface and being electrically connected with the main control module via an active-shutdown indicating interface, the method comprising the following steps:

• detecting whether a level status of a first level of the active-shutdown indicating interface is at high level;
• if yes, determining the computer system is in an active status;
• making the level status of a second level of the system controlling interface be at low level when the computer system is in a sleep status;
• determining the computer system is in the sleep status according to the low level status of the second of the system controlling interface;
• changing the level status of the second level of the system controlling interface from low level to high level when the computer system returns to the active status from the sleep status;
• and
• determining the computer system is in the active status according to the high level status of the second of the system controlling interface.

A computer system, comprising:

• a main control module, connected with an active-shutdown indicating interface and used for indicating a shutdown status or an active status through a level status of a first level of the active-shutdown indicating interface;
• and
• a status controlling system, electrically connected with the main control module, the status controlling system comprising:
• a basic input output system, connected with a system controlling interface and used for indicating whether the computer system is in a status through the level status of a second level of the system controlling interface, wherein when the computer system is in the sleep status, the basic input output system controls the system controlling interface to change the second level;
• and
• an embedded control module, electrically connected with the basic input output system via the system controlling interface and electrically connected with the main control module via the active-shutdown indicating interface for determining whether the computer system is in the shutdown status or in the active status by detecting the level status of the first level of the active-shutdown indicating interface, and determining whether the computer system is in the sleep status by detecting the level status of the second level of the system controlling interface.
