To provide a method, for a computer system to which a plurality of display devices can be connected, for managing the power supply to individual display devices. [Constitution] For the configuration of the present invention, as a further determination condition, resource information is added, concerning the positions (524 and 532) of a mouse pointer and of an active window, to a determination condition of a current screen DIM/saver that constitutes the operating state for a keyboard/mouse. The positions of the resources on a plurality of screens are determined, and when they have not been displayed on a specific monitor for a specific period of time, that monitor is moved to a low power consumption mode (a low power operating state). According to one aspect of the present invention, a computer that can be connected to a plurality of display devices comprises: means for determining whether screens of the plurality of display devices satisfy a predetermined condition; and means, based on the result obtained by the determination means, for changing the operating state of at least one of the display devices that satisfy the predetermined condition.
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de commander individuellement chacune des alimentations électriques de la pluralité d'écrans d'un système d'ordinateurs auquel on peut connecter plusieurs écrans. En l'occurrence, on prend les informations se rapportant à des ressources (informations de pointage de souris, informations de position de fenêtre active) et on les ajoute, sous forme de conditions d'évaluation renforcées, à celles des conditions courantes d'appréciation d'économiseur d'écran qui représentent un état fonctionnel du clavier ou de la souris. Le procédé consiste alors à calculer les positions de ces ressources sur une pluralité d'écrans, et à faire passer l'écran en mode économique dès que ces positions n'ont plus été affichées sur un écran particulier de façon continue depuis une période définie.
