Patent ID: 7574505

Claim:
A home server for implementing service convergence and energy-saving comprising: a broadcast processor for selectively receiving at least one broadcast signal, decoding the received broadcast signal, and distributing the received broadcast signal, wherein the broadcast processor includes a multi-tuner unit equipped with a plurality of tuners, for converting/demodulating a frequency of the broadcast signal; a service processor for providing/processing a broadcast service, a game service, and an Internet service, controlling overall operations of the home server, and reporting a current service mode and a current energy-saving mode to a power-supply controller; a network distribution unit for supporting a home private network, performing home network distribution, and transmitting a broadcast selection signal for distributing the broadcast signal to the power-supply controller; a power-supply unit for providing a power-supply signal to each module of the home server; and a power-supply controller for controlling on/off operations of the power-supply signal transmitted from the power-supply unit to the each module of the home server according to services and operation states of the service processor and the network distribution unit, wherein the service processor transmits a multi-tuner selection signal according to the selected broadcast signal to the power-supply controller, and the network processor contained in the network distribution unit transmits a multi-tuner selection signal to the power-supply controller according to a broadcast selection/distribution request signal, wherein the power-supply unit includes: a first control power-supply part for selectively transmitting the power-supply signal to the decoder of the broadcast processor; a second control power-supply part for selectively transmitting the power-supply signal to the service processor; and a plurality of control power-supply parts other than the first and second control power-supply parts, for selectively transmitting the power-supply signal to each tuner of the multi-tuner unit contained in the broadcast processor in according to the multi-tuner selection signals transmitted from the service processor and the network processor.
