Patent ID: 8471703

Claim:
A network status indication system utilizing indicators on a keyboard of a computer to indicate the network status of the computer, comprising: a memory, comprising: an identification module, wherein after the computer is turned on, the identification module determines whether two predetermined keys of the keyboard are simultaneously activated, and outputs a storage instruction after a simultaneous activation of the predetermined keys is detected; a storage module, wherein after receiving the storage instruction, the storage module stores the on/off status of the indicators corresponding to the predetermined keys and the number of the simultaneous activation of the predetermined keys, and outputs a determination instruction; a capture/determination module, wherein after receiving the determination instruction, the capture/determination module retrieves the number of the simultaneous activation of the predetermined keys from the storage module, determines whether the number is odd, and outputs an emulation instruction when the number is odd; and a control module, wherein after receiving the emulation instruction, the control module obtains the network status of the computer, emulating key instructions of the indicators of the keyboard corresponding to the predetermined keys to enable the indicators to operate corresponding to the network status of the computer, and outputs a display instruction; wherein the capture/determination module further retrieves the on/off status of the indicators from the storage module and outputs the on/off status of the indicators after detecting the activation of either of the predetermined keys, the control module further emulates corresponding key instructions to restore the on/off status of the indicators to a condition identical to the on/off status of the indicators stored in the storage module.
