Fig. 9 shows the connected mode principle schematic of scalable modular television system provided by the invention described in embodiment 7 and system of the prior art, mainly illustrates the difference in display module 1001 of system architecture between scalable modular television system provided by the invention and prior art and apply to illustrate.As shown in Figure 9, current TV is all generally inputted by different video formats and exchanged to input as power supply, usually need 2-3 block PCB processing of circuit plate (Power convert and signal transacting), thus must need the television set with specific dimensions.Otherwise, in scalable modular television system provided by the invention, be independently only provided with for (electronic data processing) the PCB 901B of receiving video signals (such as e-DP signal) in display module and provide the DC power interface of power supply for LED driver 902B.Therefore, in scalable modular television system provided by the invention, independently display module can have the structure simplified most, and does not have power unit and signal processing, can realize the ultra thin dimensions of independently display module like this.
Example 8:
Figure 10 shows the connection flow chart of the scalable modular television system provided by the invention described in embodiment 8, mainly illustrate when new module connects, determine whether to be powered by primary module (or submodule of this model calling) by the identification of device id.Namely, mechanism is determined in the power supply that scalable modular television system provided by the invention also comprises new submodule, the power supply judgment mechanism of described new submodule is configured to be identified by the power consumption information in the device id of the new submodule to expansion, thus determines to power by primary module or by another submodule be connected with described new submodule.Particularly, Figure 10 shows a new submodule and is connected to device id identification process in scalable modular television system provided by the invention.
As shown in Figure 10, when needing connection (step 1002) setting up a submodule, the processor in system can identify the hardware ID of this submodule and set up the communication (step 1003) with this submodule.Then, by searching for registered driver in systems in which, comparing with the driver of this submodule, confirming whether this submodule is new submodule (step 1004).If not, then registered driver (step 1014) is installed on this submodule, thus starts this submodule (step 1015), and terminate this attended operation (step 1016).If so, then set up the communication (step 1005) with new submodule, and read from the register of this new submodule (steps 1006) such as the information-such as power informations of this submodule.Then, judge concerning the power supply of this new submodule for the primary module connected with this new submodule or submodule whether enough (step 1007).If electricity shortage, system can be cancelled with the connection of this submodule and point out this submodule to access power supply (step 1013), then terminates this attended operation (step 1016).If power supply is sufficient, system can find the driver (step 1008) of this submodule in the memory of submodule.In above-mentioned steps, if can not find the driver of this submodule, user is then pointed out not find the driver (step 1011) of this submodule, now, user can download the driver of this submodule or the driver (step 1012) of this submodule of manual installation from website, then registered driver (step 1013) is installed on this submodule, thus start this submodule (step 1014), finally terminate this attended operation (step 1015).In above-mentioned steps, if find the driver of this submodule, system automatically can be downloaded and install the driver (step 1009) of this submodule.At this moment, if this new submodule has OS subsystem, then the application software (step 1010) of this subsystem can be installed.Finally, this attended operation (step 1015) is terminated.
Except these examples provided above, scalable modular television system provided by the invention, can also expand the submodule with these functions following: posture capture function, voice control function, face identification functions, game function, OS operating system etc.
In sum, the invention provides a kind of scalable modular television system, this system mainly comprises independently display module, primary module, power module and extendible submodule.Particularly, except independently display module, all modules of this system can realize (power supply/video/data) communication each other, wherein, primary module plays the effect of control centre, independently display module receives the signal specific input of autonomous module and power supply from power module inputs, and by being installed in primary module by the hardware/software driver of new submodule, new submodule can be made to become a part for system.That is, scalable modular television system of the present invention provides an open platform, makes hardware manufacturing person based on specific protocol or the new submodule of standard extension, thus can expand the application function of this Modular television system.Meanwhile, through the mandate of primary module, submodule as node, can realize the control to other module.In addition, by adopting independently display module, can display module be simplified, thus the display module with ultra thin dimensions can be obtained.
The specific embodiment of the invention described above is only exemplary describes principle of the present invention and effect thereof, but not for limiting the present invention, know and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that, when without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, any changes and improvements made for the present invention all within the scope of the invention.The scope of the present invention, should as the claim of the application define be as the criterion.
