background technology
Along with Internet of Things developing rapidly in recent years, the related content of intelligent control system have also been obtained synchronized development.Intelligent control system utilizes the advanced content such as computer technology, network communications technology, comprehensive wiring technology, the subsystems relevant with life staying idle at home is organically combined such as but not limited to safety monitoring, signal light control, curtain control, audio-visual devices control, scene interlock etc., by networking comprehensive intelligent control and management, the brand-new life staying idle at home realizing " people-oriented " is experienced.
Roughly situation is as follows for intelligent control system at present in life staying idle at home:
As shown in Figure 1, a fixed area being used as control center and several rooms (or region, a region can comprise several room or a room and can be divided into several region) are comprised.Described control center is provided with provides the Control Server A of control, total exchange matrix B, power supply management device C and some video source device D1 ~ Dn(such as but not limited to satellite set top box, Blu-ray player to each electric equipment), wherein power supply management device C is controlled provides controllable electric power to video source device D1 ~ Dn, the controlled audio frequency and video input to coming from each video source device of total exchange matrix B is made data exchange and is exported to provide selectivity, and each video source device D1 ~ Dn can controlled selection different operating or functional mode.Room or region are then generally furnished with display device E1 ~ En(such as but not limited to TV, projector), and being respectively arranged with different function devices according to demand such as but not limited to sensor device F, electrically driven curtain equipment G and watch-dog H, each room or region generally also will configure at least one external direct current power supply and power separately to each described function device.
In this Fig. 1 intelligent control system, the Control Server A in control center generally connects total exchange matrix B by serial ports, also connects power supply management device C and each video source device D1 ~ Dn by serial ports; Power supply management device C provides Alternating Current Power Supply to video source device D1 ~ Dn; Video source device D1 ~ Dn is by HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)) or DVI(Digital Visual Interface, digital video interface) each input port of interface cable electrical connection total exchange matrix B; Each output port of total exchange matrix B is electrically connected the display device E1 ~ En in each room or region to provide audio-video frequency media by HDMI cable; Control Server A is also electrically connected controlled plant in each room or region such as display device (carrying out the functions such as audio and video playing to control) and described each function device (such as sensor device F carries out sensor detection control, electrically driven curtain equipment G carries out that Curtain switch stops controlling, watch-dog H carry out the controls such as monitor video broadcasting and trigger alerts) by various interface or cable; Each described function device is connected with the cable of DC suppling equipment.Visible, control center's equipment is various and each equipment all needs independent occupy-place and power supply separately, the connection of Control Server and equipment room, equipment and equipment room is complicated, routing traces trouble between the zones of different in same building, and then also bring the deficiency such as control and complicated operation inconvenience, the development need of modernization Smart Home can not be met.
Not enough for overcoming it, prior art can replace the wired connection of serial ports in the mode of radio communication with infrared interface, the high definition media data message that by audio video encoding technology, total exchange matrix B can be exported after overcompression by network cable transmission to each room or region, can by standard interface such as but not limited to RS232/RS485, GPIO(General Purpose Input/Output, universal input/output) and client cables connect the various control information coming from Control Server A of transmission.Publication number is that the patented claim of CN102088382A also proposed a kind of intelligent domestic system, comprises a Smart Home main frame be made up of AV matrix, control module and intelligent gateway, to simplify the equipment of control center; In this system, each area terminal module can be connected with Smart Home main frame by category 5 twisted pair.These prior aries simplify equipment and the cabling of control center, can play simplification effect to cabling complicated between control center and regional, but also bring that data transmission distance is not high, high definition media data through Compress softwares the problem such as damage.
Further, family TV university factory LG, Samsung(Samsung by from Japan and Korea S), Sony(Sony) etc. company, and semiconductor company of Israel Valens Semiconductor(Wa Lunsi), propose and determine HDBaseT Technology-based Alliance and specification.This HDBaseT technology adopts RJ45 interface, with common CAT5e/6 netting twine for transmission medium, transmit high definition and can't harm media signal, and the control information be conveyed through after Ethernet compressed encoding or hop are without the control information of compressed encoding, even provide POE (POE) function.
Comprehensive above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art part is also, control center still also needs a controlled power supply management device of powering to each video source device, need the DC power supply device of powering to function device in regional, the problem of wiring inconvenience does not solve at all.
