A method and device for adjusting the power consumption of a computer system are disclosed. A user application running on the computer system is arranged to operate in any one of a preselected number of operating modes. A power conservation module obtains power characteristics from a power information module, selects one of the preselected number of operating modes of the user application, as a function of the power characteristics obtained from the power information module, and causes the user application to operate in the selected operating mode.

The method of claim 4, wherein the display apparatus is not driven during said driving step. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the coordinate inputting/detecting surface of the coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus comprises a source of light flux and the detecting. step comprises detecting an interruption or reflection of the light flux by said marking. 7. A method of calibrating a display apparatus and a coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus of a coordinate inputting/detecting system, the display apparatus having a display surface, the coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus having a coordinate inputting/detecting surface including a source of light flux, and the coordinate inputting/detecting surface of the coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus being arranged at the surface of the display surface of the display apparatus so as to detect a designated position on the display surface of the display apparatus, the method comprising steps of: driving the display apparatus so as to generate a display area thereof in the display surface of the display apparatus; arranging a marking member to interrupt or reflect the light flux on the display surface of the display apparatus according to the display area of the display apparatus; driving the coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus; detecting a coordinate of the marking member based on interrupting or reflecting the light flux by the marking member; and memorizing the detected coordinate of the marking member. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: removing the marking member from the display surface of the display apparatus. 9. A coordinate inputting/detecting system, comprising: a display apparatus having a display surface; first means for detecting a designated position on the display surface of the display apparatus, including a coordinate inputting/detecting surface arranged at the display surface of the display apparatus; a marking that is provided on the display surface of the apparatus so as to define a predetermined virtual display area of the display apparatus; second means for detecting a coordinate of the marking based on the designated position detected by said first means when the marking is designated via the coordinate inputting/detecting surface of the first means; means for memorizing the marking coordinate detected by the second means; and wherein said display apparatus is not driven for detecting the coordinate of the marking. 10. The system of claim 9, further comprising: means for adjusting a display area of the display apparatus to the virtual display area defined by the marking. 11. A coordinate inputting/detecting system, comprising: a display apparatus having a display surface; first means for detecting a designated position on the display surface of the display apparatus, including a coordinate inputting/detecting surface arranged at the display surface of the display apparatus and including a source of light flux; second means for interrupting or reflecting the light flux, said second means being provided on the display surface of the display apparatus according to a display area of the display apparatus; third means for detecting a coordinate of a position based on interrupting or reflecting the light flux by the second means; and fourth means for memorizing the coordinate detected by the third means. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein said second means is removably provided on said display surface. 13. A coordinate inputting/detecting system, comprising: a display apparatus having a display surface; a coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus having a coordinate inputting/detecting surface arranged at the display surface so as to detect a designated position on the display surface; a marking provided on the display surface to define a predetermined virtual display area of the display apparatus; a marking coordinate determining device for determining marking coordinates; means for storing the marking coordinates; means for adjusting a display area of the display apparatus to the virtual display area defined by the marking; and wherein the display apparatus is not driven when the marking coordinates are determined. 14. A method of calibrating a display apparatus and a coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus of a coordinate inputting/detecting system, the method comprising: providing a marking on a display surface of the display apparatus to define a predetermined virtual display area of the display apparatus; determining marking coordinates of the marking provided on the display surface; storing the marking coordinates in a memory; adjusting a display area of the display apparatus to the virtual display area defined by the marking; and wherein the display apparatus is not driven when the marking coordinates are determined. 15. A coordinate inputting/detecting system, comprising: a display apparatus having a display surface; a coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus having a coordinate inputting/detecting surface arranged at the display surface so as to detect a designated position on the display surface, said coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus further including a source of light flux; a marking member provided on the display surface to define a predetermined virtual display area of the display apparatus; a marking coordinate determining device for determining marking coordinates, the marking coordinates being determined by interrupting or reflecting the light flux by the marking member; means for storing the marking coordinates; and means for adjusting a display area of the display apparatus to the virtual display area defined by the marking.
