Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a power control device, a machine comprising the same and a power control method. The device is used for an integrated machine comprising a thin client and a display and comprises: a current detecting unit for detecting the current flowing through a port in the thin client connecting to the peripheral device; and a control signal generating unit for generating a control signal based on the intensity of the detected current to adjust the power consumption of the display and/or the thin client to maintain no increase in the power consumption of the integrated machine. The power control device, the machine comprising the same and the power control method of the present invention can be used to avoid low efficiency resulting from the power reservations for peripheral devices connected by a USB port.
