Fig. 2 A is a kind of framework that comprises the mobile computer picture system of Video Graphics Array (VGA), is to have increased by an image processor between display panel and Video Graphics Array.New system architecture comprises: South Bridge chip 200, north bridge chips 202, internal memory 204, CPU (central processing unit) 206, Video Graphics Array 208, display panel 210 and an image processor 212.Wherein South Bridge chip, north bridge chips, internal memory, CPU (central processing unit), with Video Graphics Array be the core cell of mobile computer, most of data processing is all carried out in this core cell group, comprises the processing of view data.TV signal is by the television image interface, as meets the interface of CCIR 601 or CCIR 656 standards, enters image processor 212.Connection relationship between presentation video data and each device only in graphic, arrow are represented the direction of transfer of the television image data imported.
Said system is except increasing image processor 212, and the power-supply system of mobile computer need adjust, and makes under the situation of not starting shooting can power supply to dial for display panel, sound card etc. to put the required device of image and sound program.Its way for example, can be set up a shift knob, special conduct is not looked on the bright side of things and is not opened mobile computer operating system, and the power switch when wanting to watch TV programme, this button only provides power supply in image processor earlier, afterwards again by image processor to drive other computer installation.
Fig. 2 B then is a kind of framework that does not contain the mobile computer picture system of Video Graphics Array, and the low-voltage differential signal that drives display panel is produced by north bridge chips 202 ', and image processor then places between display panel 210 ' and north bridge chips 202 '.Comparing with Fig. 2 A, is to have lacked Video Graphics Array, and the television image data may be output to South Bridge chip 200 (the television image data are to enter Video Graphics Array among Fig. 2 A), and all the other devices are identical with Fig. 2 A.
Image processor 212 is the important device of above-mentioned display system.The present invention proposes a kind of image processor, can be under above-mentioned two kinds of display system architecture (comprising/do not contain Video Graphics Array), need not start computer operating system and can receive group placing TV view data, and computer picture data and television image are watched in switching under the operating system running.In addition, but this image processor is at the display system that comprises/do not contain Video Graphics Array device simplified design more, after detailed description will be described in.
Fig. 3 illustrates the framework of image processor, and with the annexation of other display system apparatus.With reference to figure 3, image processor 36 comprises at least: initialization control module 300, Date Conversion Unit 302, panel driving unit 304, memory control unit 306, switch control unit 308, image compression unit 310, data output interface 312, data exchange interface 314, first select module 330, with second select module 332, image processor 36 more is connected to display screen 38 and internal memory 33 in addition.After above-mentioned each device unit can be described in detail in.In addition, more can comprise a ROM (read-only memory) 316, store different television systems (NTSC or PAL etc.) parameter, to be compatible with the TV signal of different system.
Display system and device that the present invention discloses, its mode of operation is divided into: do not start the operating system, start the operating system and make general computing machine and use and start the operating system but teleview three kinds.For convenience of description, respectively with shutdown mode, computer patterns, be referred to as with television mode.During shutdown mode, computer booting is not started the operating system, only supply power is in image processor, and starts other computer installation by image processor, as sound card, internal memory etc.Television image data input picture processor is converted to the signal data that computing machine shows specification, meets the drive signal of the low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) of low-voltage differential signal electrical specification with generation, to drive display panel.At computer patterns, be that image processor is sent to display panel with display image with the low-voltage differential signal bypass (bypass) that Video Graphics Array (or north bridge chips) transmits as the usefulness of general mobile computer at this moment.During as for television mode, computing machine respectively installs control and grasps in operating system, and image processor directly is sent to Video Graphics Array with input TV signal; Or make section processes, and deliver to the Video Graphics Array computing by the north and south bridge chip, produce low-voltage differential signal and drive display panel.
Below illustrate respectively image processor comprise the display system of Video Graphics Array, with do not contain Video Graphics Array display system each the device annexation, with the signal processing flow under above-mentioned three kinds of mode of operations.
Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C is display system (as Fig. 2 A) and the image processor that comprises Video Graphics Array, respectively at the signal processing flow of shutdown mode, computer patterns and television mode.Under the shutdown mode, please refer to Fig. 4 A, wherein South Bridge chip, north bridge chips, internal memory, CPU (central processing unit), be in off-mode with Video Graphics Array.Because operating system does not start, each device of mobile computer picture system can't act on.In addition, if will dial the placing TV video-audio signal, still needing starts and supply power is given partial devices (as sound card etc.).When receiving one, mobile computer (for example drives order, can produce by a shift knob of mobile computer, different with the power switch of mobile computer system is, this not start-up function of pushbutton switch system) by entering shutdown mode under the situation of shutting down fully, at first power-supply system (external power supply or built-in battery) supply power is to image processor 36, trigger other computer installation by initialization control module 300 (with ROM (read-only memory) 316) output signal to start, as sound card, internal memory, or keyboard etc., its function class is like the basic input/output (BIOS) in the computer system.
Under the shutdown mode, the television image data of importing through television image interface (CCIR601/656) 350 are sent to the first selection module 330, and export Date Conversion Unit 302 to.Television image is the alternating expression image, after screen display mode is the scanning yoke picture (promptly strange, Odd Field) of output one odd number earlier, export (promptly even of an even-line interlace line image again, Even Field), interactively output, and the also interactive image information of noting down strange, even of view data.In addition, the television image data are to adopt the picture format of YCrCb (YUV) colour difference level signal, and are different with formula in proper order, the RGB redgreenblue image of computer image system.With the alternating expression image transitions is that the process of formula image is called release of an interleave in proper order.The placing TV image to be on computer screen, dialled, the computer/TV image transitions must be made earlier.The function of Date Conversion Unit 302 is television image data 350 to be done processing such as release of an interleave and YCrCb commentaries on classics RGB image, and the picture signal form of conversion television image data 350 obtains computer picture data 352.
Computer graphic similarly is to be the formula in proper order scanning of unit with frame (Frame), and the television image data will produce huge data volume when being converted to the computer picture data.Because human eyes can think that for the image of 30 P-SCANs of per second picture image flashes, and such flash phenomenon just can become not obvious when improving sweep frequency to 60Hz, therefore the computing machine display frequency is many more than 60Hz at present.Television image is to be the interleaved type scanning of unit with the field, and each only contains half data volume of frame.TV signal with U.S. NTSC system is an example, and display frequency is 60 fields of per second output, strange, idol field half and half.Because each resolution (or data volume) only accounts for frame half, the TV signal data amount is equivalent to 30 frames of per second originally.After TV data was converted to the computer picture data, image data amount can increase, and huge data and computing must be temporarily stored in the internal memory earlier.
After 302 pairs of television images of Date Conversion Unit were done computing such as release of an interleave processing, the computer picture data 352 that obtain temporarily were stored in internal memory 33 earlier, or other memory device, and the present invention does not limit, its explanation as after.After the data processing of finishing at least one frame, export display panel 38 again to and show.Therefore, the computer picture data 352 input data exchange interfaces 314 of Date Conversion Unit 302 outputs, the access by memory control unit 306 control datas earlier is temporarily stored in internal memory 33.When internal memory 33 contains the view data of at least one frame, the computer picture data that are stored in the internal memory 33 are imported data exchange interface 314 by memory control unit 306 controls again, are sent to panel driving unit 304.When shutdown mode, Video Graphics Array 34 does not operate, and needs to produce the low-voltage differential signal that drives display panel by this device.Panel driving unit 304 promptly is a kind of panel drive circuit, in order to produce the panel driving signal 354 of the electric form of low-voltage differential signal, drives display panel 38 and shows TV signal.And the second selection module 332 is the output that receives panel driver element 304 when shutdown mode, and is sent to display panel 38.
And at computer patterns, as Fig. 4 B, the display system of embodiment is the usefulness as general mobile computer, power supply and operating system normal operation, and do not need television image data 350 contents are presented on the display panel.In this mode of operation, image processor 36 is as a bypass resistance.34 computings of computer data input video graphic array, the low-voltage differential signal 358 of generation are directly imported second and are selected module 332.Selecting module 332 this moment second is effectively inputs of low-voltage differential signal 358 conducts of receiver, video graphic array 34 outputs, directly exports display panel 38 to.Therefore, image processor 36 only needs second to select module 332 runnings during computer patterns, makes low-voltage differential signal 358 bypass be sent to display panel 38 and gets final product.
Similarly, at television mode, with reference to figure 4C, each device of mobile computer is controlled by operating system.Video Graphics Array 34 normal operation under operating system control, and produce low-voltage differential signal driving display panel.After module 330 is selected in 350 inputs first of television image data, do not import Date Conversion Unit 302, but export Video Graphics Array 34 to, do processing such as release of an interleave and YcrCb/RGB conversion, and produce low-voltage differential signal 358 by Video Graphics Array 34.Low-voltage differential signal 358 input picture processor 36 once more afterwards, and directly be sent to second and select module 332.At this moment, it is effectively input that the second selection module 332 is selected low-voltage differential signals 358, and directly exports display panel 38 to.In other words, image processor 36 is sent to Video Graphics Array 34 with television image data 350 relayings and does TV/computer data conversion during television mode, selects module 332 to be sent to display panel 38 through second afterwards.Attention is under television mode, and image processor 36 only needs first to select module 330 and second to select module 332 runnings to get final product.
According to the above, when shutdown mode, selecting module 330 television image data 350 by first is to export Date Conversion Unit 302 to, is to export Video Graphics Array 34 to during television mode.The second selection module 332 is the output that receives panel driver element 304 when shutdown mode, and exports display panel 38 to; When TV, computer patterns, then be the low-voltage differential signal 358 of selective reception Video Graphics Array 34 outputs.Therefore need a device, control above-mentioned two input, output terminals of selecting module, image processor is switched three operator schemes.The function of switch control unit 308, be when receiving a mode switch order, control first respectively and select module 330 and second to select module 332 to switch its effective output terminal and input ends, and when television mode, forbid (disable) first selection module and television image data 350 are not carried out calculation process.In addition, by under the shutdown fully when entering shutdown mode, switch control unit 308 can trigger control initialization control modules 300 to drive the computer installation of a part at mobile computer.Wherein above-mentioned mode switch order can be to produce by setting up button on keyboard or the display panel.
By showing among Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C, in comprising the display system of Video Graphics Array, image compression unit 310 and data output interface 312 are not had a function in the image processor 36.Therefore image processor 36 as Fig. 5, can omit image compression unit 310 and data output interface 312 comprising under the display system architecture of Video Graphics Array, and the first selection module is to be electrically connected to Video Graphics Array 54.
Fig. 6 A to Fig. 6 C is for not containing the display system (as Fig. 2 B) and the image processor of Video Graphics Array, at the signal processing flow of shutdown mode, computer patterns and television mode.Under the shutdown mode, identical with reference to figure 6A with the above-mentioned system that comprises Video Graphics Array, by initialization control module 300 actuating section computer installations.The television image data 350 of input select module 330 to export Date Conversion Unit 302 to by first, the computing of doing decompression, YCrCb/RGB conversion in 302 pairs of television image data of Date Conversion Unit 350 produces computer picture data 352, and is temporarily stored in the internal memory 33 with memory control unit 306 via data exchange interface 314.Then memory control unit 306 reads the computer picture data 352 that are temporarily stored in the internal memory 33, via data exchange interface 314 input panel driver elements 304 and produce the panel driving signal 354 of low-voltage differential signal, select module 332 to export display panel 38 to by second afterwards, to show TV signal.
Similarly, with reference to figure 6B, image processor 36 is as bypass resistance during computer patterns.CPU (central processing unit) to the computer picture data operation after, produce low-voltage differential signals 358 to drive display panel 38 by north bridge chips 31.Low-voltage differential signal 358 is directly inputted into second and selects module 332, selects this moment second module 352 to select low-voltage differential signal 358 as effectively input, and exports display panel 38 to.
Under the television mode, with reference to figure 6C, because mobile computer does not contain the Video Graphics Array device, this moment, TV/the computer data conversion must be in Date Conversion Unit 302 processing.Module 330 is selected in 350 inputs first of television image data, selects to export to Date Conversion Unit 302 and does TV/computer data conversion.The computer picture data 352 input data exchange interfaces 314 of Date Conversion Unit 302 outputs, the access by memory control unit 306 control datas earlier is temporarily stored in internal memory 33.Because of display panel 38 is driven by the low-voltage differential signal 358 that north bridge chips 31 produces, computer picture data after the conversion are not to be to be sent to panel driving unit 304 producing the panel driving signal shown in (with reference to figure 4A) during as shutdown mode, and after need passing north bridge chips 31 calculation process back the output low-voltage differential signal to drive display panel 38.By learning before, the television image data are converted to the huge data volume that the computer picture data can increase, so central processing unit is read and imported in computer graphic image signal 352 need compression backs through South Bridge chip 30 again by data output interface output.Therefore, computer picture data 352 are done data compressions through data exchange interface 314 input picture compression units 310, for example adopt discrete cosine transform (Discrete CosineTransform, technology DCT), and obtain a compressing image signal 356.Pass South Bridge chip 30 back by data output interface 312 outputs more afterwards.Data output interface 312 is to be universal serial bus (USB) interface in the present embodiment, also can be replaced by other I/O interface, and the present invention does not limit.
Among Fig. 6 C, after South Bridge chip 30 receives the compressing image signal 356 of data output interface 312 outputs, again via north bridge chips 31 input central processing unit calculation process, again by north bridge chips 31 produce low-voltage differential signals 358 and once more input picture processor to the second select module 332.Select this moment second module 352 be the low-voltage differential signal 358 of selective reception north bridge chips 31 outputs as its effective input, and directly export display panel 38 to show television image.
Similarly, the switching of above-mentioned three kinds of mode of operations is by switch control unit 308 controls, selects module 330 and second to select module 332 effective output terminal and input ends to adjust first.As the system that comprises Video Graphics Array, switch control unit 308 more also triggers the computer installation of control initialization control module 300 with drive part.
The explanation of synthesizing map 6A Fig. 6 C, when system does not contain Video Graphics Array, first selects module 330 when shutdown mode and television mode, all be that the television image data 350 that will import export Date Conversion Unit 302 to, therefore image processor 36 is in the following time of display system architecture that is applied to not contain Video Graphics Array, can further omit first and select module 330 and directly the television image data 350 of input are electrically connected to Date Conversion Unit 302.Thereby new image processor framework such as Fig. 7, second selects module to replace (function is still identical) by selection module 732, and data output interface is connected to South Bridge chip 30, and all the other each unit remain unchanged.
Must lay special stress at this, more than computing machine display system of Jie Luing and image processor are not to be used in mobile computer, but it can effectively solve in the prior art mobile computer and can't set aside the difficulty of placing TV image not starting the operating system, in fact also can be used in the desktop computer systems, that is the present invention mainly provides a kind of new display system architecture and image processor, and is not restricted to mobile computer.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not in order to limit the right of applying for a patent of the present invention; Simultaneously above description should be understood and be implemented for the special personage who knows the present technique field, so other does not break away from the equivalence of being finished under the disclosed spirit of the present invention and change or modification, all should be included in the following claim.
