Patent ID: 8650425

Claim:
A computer system for processing data in a non-operational state, comprising: a data output unit; a data source; a data switch unit; a data processing module accessing and processing data from the data source, and transmitting the processed data to the data output unit; a state monitor unit monitoring a power supply state of the computer system to accordingly generate a state switch signal, which indicates whether the computer system is in an operational state or a non-operational state; and wherein when the state switch signal indicates that the computer system is in the non-operational state, the data source and the data processing module receives operating voltages to access and process data, wherein the data source comprises a data access unit, a network control unit, or a combination of both, and the computer system and the data processing module access the data stored in a storage unit via the data access unit, and the data processing module connect to a network and access the data from the network via the network control unit; if the data source is the network control unit, the data switch unit further comprises a network data switch unit performing switching operations based on the state of the state switch signal, and transmitting the data obtained by the network control unit to the data processing module when the state switch signal indicates that the computer system is in the non-operational state; if the data source is the data access unit, the data switch unit further comprises a storage data switch unit performing switching operations based on the state of the state switch signal, and transmitting the data obtained by the data access unit to the data processing module when the state switch signal indicates that the computer system is in the non-operational state; and the data switch unit further comprises a data output switch unit performing switching operations based on the state of the state switch signal, and transmitting the data processed by the data processing module to the data output unit when the state switch signal indicates that the computer system is in the non-operational state.
