CA 2139053

An AC power controller suitable for use with computer systems has a master power outlet and several slave power outlets that supply an AC linevoltage. The master outlet makes the AC line voltage continually available. The slave outlets are enabled when current drawn from the master outlet exceeds a turn-on threshold and disabled when the current drops below a lower turn-off threshold. If a computer is plugged into the master outlet and peripherals into the slave outlets, the peripherals turn on and off in response to the operating state of the computer. An adapter that modulates its own operating current may be plugged into the master outlet and components of a computer system into the slave outlets. The adapter can be configured to sense an incoming telephone call, power up the computer system to respond, and shut down the system once the call is handled. The adapter can alternatively be configured to sense attempts to communicate with a peripheral plugged into a slave outlet and power up the peripheral as required.
