Abstract
Abstract A method of realizing DPMS function of a display using an USB is proposed. In the DPMS mode transition performed by recognizing input states of horizontal and vertical synchronous signals, the operation state of the USB is confirmed when the DPMS mode is converted from suspend mode to power off mode. Accordingly, the transition to the power off mode is prevented when the USB is in operation, thereby protecting the USB from malfunctioning.

A method of realizing DPMS function of a display device using an USB, comprising the steps of: confirming if the current state corresponds to stand-by mode condition or not; converting a display control mode into the stand-by mode when the current state corresponds to the stand-by mode condition; confirming, in the stand-by mode state, if the current state corresponds to the condition of transition to suspend mode; converting the display control mode into the suspend mode when the current state corresponds to the condition of transition to the suspend mode; confirming, in the suspend mode state, if the current state corresponds to the condition of transition to power off mode; confirming the current operation state of the USB when the current state corresponds to the condition of transition to the power off mode; and converting the display control mode into power saving mode according to the current state of the USB.
