Remote control module for computer and method thereof

A method of creating an order for controlling a shut down and a start of a computer system with using a remote control module by analyzing a DTMF (dual tone multi frequency) signal received through a telephone line in a computer unit having the remote control module and the computer system, the method comprising the steps of:

• i) checking whether or not incoming ring signals reach a predetermined number;
• ii) receiving the DTMF signal by performing a hooking off process when the incoming ring signal exceeds the predetermined number, extracting a computer remote control order by analyzing the received DTMF signal, and then performing a hook on process;
• and
• iii) outputting a power on signal to a power circuit of the computer system when the computer remote control order requests a power on, and transmitting an IP address of a remote computer to the computer system through a serial transmission interface, the IP address being obtained from the computer remote control order, the computer system automatically accessing to the remote computer.

A method of controlling a shut down and a start of a computer system based on an order transmitted from a remote control module in a computer unit having the computer system and the remote control module, which creates the order for controlling the computer system by analyzing a DTMF (dual tone multi frequency) signal received through a telephone line, the method comprising the steps of:

• i) analyzing a message when the message is received from the remote control module;
• ii) performing a normal software reset when the received message requests the software reset by means of an operating system, then, automatically accessing to an IP address of a remote computer included in the message;
• iii) performing a normal shut down of the computer system when the received message requests a normal shut of the computer system by means of the operating system;
• and
• iv) automatically accessing to the IP address of the remote computer included in the message, when the received message requests a remote computer access.
