## Abstract

A cooling system and a control method of the cooling system are provided. The cooling system includes a display device, a temperature sensor, a cooling fan and a temperature controller. The display device includes a backlight module. The temperature sensor is configured in the backlight module. The temperature sensor senses a first temperature of the backlight module and a second temperature of the backlight module. The first temperature is higher than the second temperature. The cooling fan is configured in the backlight module. The cooling fan provides a cooling path. The temperature controller receives the first temperature and the second temperature from the temperature sensor, and controls the cooling fan to enable or disable.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cooling system, comprising:
a display device, configured to display an image, wherein the display device comprises a backlight module;
a temperature sensor, configured in the backlight module, and configured to sense a first temperature of the backlight module and a second temperature of the backlight module, wherein the first temperature is higher than the second temperature;
a cooling fan, configured in the backlight module, and configured to provide a cooling path; and
a temperature controller, configured to receive the first temperature and the second temperature from the temperature sensor, and control the cooling fan to enable or disable.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising:
an air-conditioning system, electrically connected to the temperature controller, and configured to be turned on when the cooling fan is enabled.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising:
an air-conditioning system, electrically connected to the temperature controller,
wherein the backlight module is enabled after the air-conditioning system is enabled.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein a driving power of the cooling fan is provided by a driving power of the backlight module.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein a driving power of the cooling fan is different from a driving power of the backlight module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein when a temperature of the backlight module sensed by the temperature sensor is higher than the first temperature, the temperature controller enables the cooling fan.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein when a temperature of the backlight module sensed by the temperature sensor is lower than the second temperature, the temperature controller disables the cooling fan.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein the temperature sensor starts to sense a temperature of the backlight module after the backlight module is started up.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The cooling system of claim 8, wherein the display device displays the temperature of the backlight module.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein the backlight module is disabled after disabling the cooling fan.

### Claim 11

A control method of a cooling system, wherein the cooling system comprises a display device, a temperature sensor and a cooling fan, wherein the control method comprises:
detecting a status of a backlight module of the display device;
controlling the temperature sensor to sense a temperature of the backlight module after the backlight module is started up;
enabling the cooling fan when the temperature of the backlight module sensed by the temperature sensor is higher than a first temperature; and
disabling the cooling fan when the temperature is lower than a second temperature,
wherein the first temperature is higher than the second temperature.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The control method of claim 11, further comprising:
disabling the backlight module after disabling the cooling fan.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The cooling system of claim 11, further comprising:
disabling the backlight module before disabling the cooling fan.

### Claim 14

A cooling system, comprising:
a power circuit, configured to provide a driving power;
a temperature sensor, configured in a cockpit, and configured to sense a first temperature of the cockpit and a second temperature of the cockpit, wherein the first temperature is higher than the second temperature;
a cooling fan, configured in the cockpit, and configured to provide a cooling path; and
a temperature controller, configured to receive the first temperature and the second temperature from the temperature sensor, and control the cooling fan to enable or disable.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The cooling system of claim 14, further comprising:
an air-conditioning system, electrically connected to the temperature controller, and configured to enable the cooling fan according to the first temperature.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The cooling system of claim 14, further comprising:
a car-machine system, electrically connected to the temperature controller,
wherein the temperature controller is started up when the car-machine system is started up.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The cooling system of claim 16, wherein the driving power of the cooling system is provided by the car-machine system.

### Claim 18 (depends on 14)

The cooling system of claim 14, wherein when a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is higher than the first temperature, the temperature controller enables the cooling fan.

### Claim 19 (depends on 14)

The cooling system of claim 14, wherein when a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is lower than the second temperature, the temperature controller disables the cooling fan.

### Claim 20 (depends on 14)

The cooling system of claim 14, further comprising:
a display device, configured to display an image,
wherein the display device comprises a backlight module, and
wherein the backlight module is started up when the cooling fan is disabled.
