Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a rest mode for stopping the use of a computer at preset intervals are disclosed. The method includes the steps of setting a rest mode, as a mode for stopping a predetermined operation of the computer while using the computer, by setting a rest interval for deciding a preset time interval, and a rest time for which the computer operation is stopped in every rest interval; checking whether it becomes the target time determined by the above-set rest interval; beginning the rest mode for stopping the computer operation for the above-set rest time when it is the target time; and restoring the previous operation mode when the preset rest time elapses. Therefore, bad influences by unconscious longtime use of a computer can be prevented by controlling stopping computer use at predetermined intervals during computer use.
