A computer system includes a display configured to receive a display signal; a sensor configured to provide a control signal indicative of the presence of a user in a predefined area in front of the display; a control unit configured to select an operating mode from a plurality of operating modes, and a first energy management function configured to control an operating state of the display based on a selected operating mode, wherein the interface circuitry is configured to transmit first control data indicating the presence or absence of the user in front of the display by a manufacturer-specific virtual control panel VCP back to a computing device; and wherein the computing device includes a second energy management function configured to switch the computing device into an operating state based at least on the first control data indicating the presence or absence of the user in front of the display.

Display device, computer system and method of managing the operating states of a computer system

A computer system includes a client device; and a display device operationally connected to the client device, wherein the display device provides the client device with an operating energy, and the display device detects the type of the client device, and, when the client device belongs to a predefined group of client devices, provides the client device with an operating energy even if the display device enters an energy-saving mode or is switched off.

Computer system, client device and display device

A display device includes interface circuitry configured to receive a display signal from an external computing device; a display screen configured to display the received display signal; an energy management function configured to control an operating state of the display device; a sensor configured to provide at least one control signal indicative of the presence of a user in a predefined area in front of the display screen; and a control unit configured to select an energy saving mode from a plurality of energy saving modes based at least on the control signal provided by the sensor.
