Abstract
A status controller, a computer system, and a status detecting method thereof are disclosed. The status controller is used in the computer system. A main controller is used for indicating a shutdown status or an active status by a first level of an active-shutdown indicating interface pin. The status controller includes a hardware basic input output controller and an embedded controller. The hardware basic input output controller is used for indicating whether the computer system is in a sleep status by a second level of a system controlling interface pin, wherein when the computer system is in the sleep status, the hardware basic input output controller changes the second level. The embedded controller determines whether the computer system is in the shutdown or the active status by the first level and in the sleep status by the second level.
