BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Operating machines are an essential equipment in our daily life.
The current operating machines such as computer system, and laptop used in school laboratory and offices are based on manual system, there is now proper shut down method is available. When user forget to shut down the computer system, it will be unnecessary utilizes the resources i.e. CPU processor, memory, that reduces the life of computers. In this scenario, there is a lot of unnecessary wastage of electricity in the school laboratory and offices, therefore, power saving system is required to reduce power costs.
[0004] Conventional computer systems may be programmed into a power
saving mode, such as a screen shutdown function, a hard disk shutdown function, a system sleep function, or a system standby function, after a system idle time. However, the above functions are executed at a predetermined time after a user does not operate the computer system. A computer may frequently be programmed into a power saving mode, but the user still sits in front of it. On the contrary, a computer is not programmed into a power saving mode, while the user may have left for a long time already.
[0005] In addition, a conventional computer system demands the user, to
initiate a shutdown program before turning off the computer. For a user that needs

to leave in a hurry or simply forgets to initiate the shutdown procedure before leaving, power is wasted.
[0006] Also, to turn off a conventional computer system, a user needs to
directly press a power switch (or select the turning-off item in software manner). In order to allow a computer system to be more-similar to the electric appliance, the above procedures of turning off the computer system by the user himself have inconvenience and drawbacks in practice. The present invention aims to resolve the problems in the prior art.
[0007] There is a need to provide a solution that overcomes the above-
mentioned and other limitations of existing solutions and provides an efficient system and method for controlling power supply of the operating machines.
