Abstract
A computer peripheral operating event responding method and system is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a computer platform for providing a peripheral operating events responding function, and which is more advantageous to use than prior art particularly in that it can be implemented without utilizing keyboard scan code and IRQ/PCI interrupt signals to provide the peripheral operating events responding function and is capable of responding to both on-keyboard peripheral operating events (such as hot-key pressing events) and off-keyboard peripheral operating events (such as docking station engaging/disengaging event and multi-bay CD-ROM hot-plug event), thus representing a highly integrated and efficient solution for computer peripheral operating event responding functionality.
