Abstract
Abstract A monitor-controlling device is disclosed. The monitor-controlling device, used for a system having a monitor and a first circuit, includes a buffer for storing data from the system; a decoder electrically connected to the buffer for receiving and decoding the data; a bi-directional transmitter electrically connected to the buffer for providing the buffer with a path to transmit the data to the first circuit; and a controlling circuit electrically connected to the bi-directional transmitter for controlling the path on or off.
