Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A temperature control system, adapted to a central processing unit powered by a power supply module of an electronic device, is provided. The temperature control system includes a setting module, a first temperature detecting module, a second temperature detecting module, and a power adjusting module. The setting module is configured to set a target temperature of the CPU and a target temperature of the power supply module. The first temperature detecting module is configured to obtain a detected temperature of the CPU. The second temperature detecting module is electrically connected to the power supply module, to obtain a detected temperature of the power supply module. The power adjusting module is configured to adjust a control parameter of the CPU or the power supply module based on a first temperature difference between the target temperature of the CPU and the detected temperature of the CPU or a second temperature difference between the target temperature of the power supply module and the detected temperature of the power supply module.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A temperature control system, adapted to a central processing unit (CPU) powered by a power supply module of an electronic device, comprising: a setting module, configured to set a target temperature of the CPU and a target temperature of the power supply module; a first temperature detecting module, electrically connected to the CPU, to obtain a detected temperature of the CPU; a second temperature detecting module, electrically connected to the power supply module, to obtain a detected temperature of the power supply module; and a power adjusting module, configured to adjust a control parameter of the CPU or the power supply module based on a first temperature difference between the target temperature of the CPU and the detected temperature of the CPU or a second temperature difference between the target temperature of the power supply module and the detected temperature of the power supply module. 2 . The temperature control system according to claim 1 , wherein the first temperature detecting module is electrically connected to the CPU through a first bus and the second temperature detecting module is electrically connected to the power supply module through a second bus. 3 . The temperature control system according to claim 1 , wherein the first temperature detecting module is electrically connected to the CPU through an input/output control interface. 4 . The temperature control system according to claim 1 , wherein the control parameter is a power limit value of the CPU. 5 . The temperature control system according to claim 4 , wherein when the first temperature difference or the second temperature difference is less than zero, the power limit value is adjusted to be less than a thermal design power of the CPU. 6 . The temperature control system according to claim 4 , wherein when the first temperature difference or the second temperature difference is greater than zero, the power limit value is adjusted to be greater than a thermal design power of the CPU. 7 . A temperature control method, adapted to a temperature control system that is adapted to a central processing unit powered by a power supply module of an electronic device, comprising: setting a target temperature of the CPU and a target temperature of the power supply module; obtaining a detected temperature of the CPU; obtaining a power supply module detected module of the power supply module; and adjusting a control parameter of the CPU or the power supply module based on a first temperature difference between the target temperature of the CPU and the detected temperature of the CPU or a second temperature difference between the target temperature of the power supply module and the detected temperature of the power supply module. 8 . The temperature control method according to claim 7 , wherein the control parameter is a power limit value of the CPU. 9 . The temperature control method according to claim 8 , wherein when the first temperature difference or the second temperature difference is less than zero, the power limit value is adjusted to be less than a thermal design power of the CPU. 10 . The temperature control method according to claim 8 , wherein when the first temperature difference or the second temperature difference is greater than zero, the power limit value is adjusted to be greater than a thermal design power of the CPU.
