Abstract:
1. A visualized computer platform operating condition displaying device for use with a computer platform equipped with a battery unit for providing a visualized operating condition displaying function; the visualized computer platform operating condition displaying device comprising: a light-emitting array module, which is composed of a plurality of light-emitting units arranged in an array pattern on the external side of the computer platform; a power on/off status detecting module, detects whether the computer platform has been powered on; and if yes, issues a power-on message; a battery-power monitoring module, monitors the remaining power capacity of the battery unit to thereby generate a corresponding battery-power indication message indicative of the remaining power capacity of the battery unit; a working-temperature monitoring module, monitors the current working temperature inside the computer platform to thereby generate a corresponding working-temperature indication message indicative of the detected working temperature level; a first light control module, activates in response to the power-on message from the power on/off status detecting module to drive the light-emitting array module to emit lights in a first predetermined manner to serve as a first light-based signaling message used to indicate that the computer platform is currently powered on; a second light control module, activates in response to the battery-power indication message from the battery-power monitoring module to drive the light-emitting array module to emit lights in a second predetermined manner to serve as a second light-based signaling message used to indicate the current level of remaining power capacity of the battery unit; and a third light control module, activates in response to the working-temperature indication message from the working-temperature monitoring module to drive the light-emitting array module to emit lights in a third predetermined manner to serve as a third light-based signaling message used to indicate the current level of working temperature inside the computer platform.
