ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in the peripheral equipment of a computer reduces the needless consumption of power. Once it has been determined that the computer has not been used for a predetermined period of time, an operation control signal indicative of a specific control mode is supplied for controlling the supply of power to the computer's peripheral equipment and the computer's operating state. The operation of a power supply means for generating operating power to a computer's peripheral equipment is controlled in response to a detected control mode. Accordingly, energy is conserved by controlling the supply of power and the operating state of a computer's peripheral equipment according to the peripheral equipment's operational state.
