As shown in Figure 3, from parts source of media (301a) (the HDMI cable television box of input for example is provided) input medium 1.Receiver (for example HDMI REC. (304)) receiving media 1.Medium 1 can be digitized (if with analog format input) and be stored in the interim buffer memory (for example interim frame buffer (305)).Microcontroller subsystem (302a) is revised medium 1 rightly and is used for showing with pattern of a plurality of selected patterns then, as computing machine (300) is indicated and described below.Following discussion like that, the bi-directional scaling that will schematically show and the modification of z rotation with the display mode utilization of combination.Finally, amended medium 1 are placed on are used in the output buffers (for example output frame buffer memory (307)) by transmitter (for example HDMI transmitter (309)) transmission on the display device that is fit to, to show.
As mentioned above, any that can select a plurality of other medium from different additional source is used for combination and shows.As shown in Figure 3, the medium C HDMI video flowing of computing machine (300) (for example from) can be used for showing with 1 combination of (modification) medium.As discussed below, preferably, medium C is automatically recognized, obtains and prepare to be used for the related content that selectivity shows.Medium C is preferably processed in the video and graphic subsystem of computing machine (200), and use to handle from the method for a plurality of windows of homology not and by OPD (302) its and other medium inputs (for example medium 1...N) are made up.As discussed in this, be used to each window is placed on tram in the entire frame from the appropriate instruction of computing machine (300).Like this, HDMI receiver (306) is with receiving media C, and medium C is stored in the output frame buffer memory (307) with (modification) medium 1.Medium C also will be modified, and show (that is, medium 1+ medium C) in this example thereby obtain appropriate combination.
The order that to issue OPD (302) by the appropriate connection of for example usb bus is sent to OPD (302) microcontroller subsystem (302a) from computing machine (300).OPD (302) is used for sending state and other relevant informations about input medium (for example medium 1) from parts source of media (301a) to computing machine (300) by usb bus.This provides the identification of related media and the necessary information of calculating of appropriately instructing to computing machine (300), is used for combination and shows.
According to by the order of usb bus, from the medium of multiple source or be shown as full frame and/or part screen (that is, correspond respectively to passage and show (pass through display) and combination demonstration) from computing machine (300).Can be positioned from the media content of particular source and to begin (that is, whole final output shows) Anywhere in the entire frame.Also can provide 3D characteristic etc. to the medium that show in Z axle " rotation ".The resultnat accuracy that the definite output of computing machine (300) shows, the feasible row and column that can determine the starting position based on the scale down and the off-centring (that is the appropriate modification that shows corresponding to the output of expecting) of expectation.
The non-limitative example of the USB order from computing machine (300) to OPD (302) is as follows:
SizeHDMI_Input1?Video(PercentTotalFrame,ColStart,RowStart,,zAxisRotation)
Wherein:
The number percent that PercentTotalFrame=compares with entire frame dwindles
The concrete row in the place that the image that ColStart and RowStart=ratio are dwindled begins/OK
The angle of the Z axle of the image that zAixRotation-dwindles for ratio (from the rotation of row/row starting position).Embodiments of the invention can be supported from the left side of video or the right side rotation.As non-limitative example, if number is a positive number, then grappling is from left side (or first row of the video) rotation of video; If number is a negative, then grappling is from right side (or last row of the video) rotation of video.
Preferably, computing machine (300) can be notified to the position, four angles of the specific medium in the whole output display frame (for example medium input 1 and/or medium C) (promptly be listed as and go) OPD (302) simply.The size of four final videos that show of angle definition and 3D rotation.Shown in Fig. 5 was further, the video conversion that OPD (302) will expire ratio then was correct size and rotation, and places it in the tram of output frame buffer memory (307).
The indefiniteness example of " four jiaos " order like this is:
SizeHDMI_Input1?Video(upper?start?position,upper?end?position,lower?startposition,lower?end?position)
Schematic " four jiaos " that are used for medium 1 (supposing that medium 1 are the HDMI video inputs of for example popular TV programme) from computing machine (300) to OPD (302) instruct and are:
SizeHDMI_Input?Video=(50,960,300,30)
50% minification begins at 960 row, 300 row places with 30 degree angles
OPD (302) imports 1 video flowing to HDMI and carries out following function
1) scaled
2) Z axle rotation
Handle the summary of a plurality of medium inputs in Fig. 4 presentation medium management system (403).Be stored in the interim buffer memory (405) in HDMI receiver (404) reception first medium input (for example medium 1, from parts source of media (401) input) and with the input of first medium, if necessary carry out optional digital conversion.If medium 1 are through system and fill up display (469) thus, then medium 1 are through multiplexer (402), in multiplexer (402), usually medium 1 and other medium inputs (for example medium C) are made up, and be delivered to HDMI transmitter (408), locate the medium of buffer memory combination and output to display (469) subsequently at HDMI transmitter (408).
Alternatively, the microcontroller subsystem (402a) that medium 1 can be sent to OPD (402) is used for revising and identification.Processor (410) is used to instruct from the appropriate format of computing machine (400) medium 1 of revising (for example changing size and rotation) buffer memory rightly.Extract the required information of identification medium 1 and send it to for example recognition subsystem (409) on the sheet of appropriate position, be used for identification.Alternatively, identifying information can be sent to computing machine (400) or remote equipment, be used for as expected further discriminance analysis.
As said, through appropriate adjustment, medium 1 be sent to frame buffer (407) be used for through multiplexer (412) with as making up from other medium of the medium of homology not (for example the medium C that provides of computing machine (400) and/or from another parts source of media (201) medium C).As discussed, provide extra medium input (for example computing machine (400) provide medium C).With medium 1 same treatment, medium that this is extra or be provided for frame buffering (407) by appropriate modify instruction and be used for perhaps being sent to HDI transmitter (408) to fill display (469) by system in multiplexer (412) and medium 1 combination.Should be noted that the use of a plurality of buffer memorys of frame (for example 405,407 and 408) can prevent to tear (tearing) and illusion, video quality offers the best.
Embodiments of the invention also can be with these concept extensions to protected content, for example HDCP.In this case, OPD (402) has the HDCP key, and this key is used to support encryption and decryption.All HDMI sources use the HDCP key that protected content is sent to OPD (402).OPD (402) is putting into content frame buffer (for example 405) before with its de-preservation then.After modification (for example scaled and rotation) is finished, OPD (402) will use the HDPC key to encrypt HDMI stream again then and protected content will be sent to display (469).Can carry out the deciphering of the program of protected content at HDMI receiver (404), and can carry out at HDMI transmitter (408) and encrypt.Equally, the HDMI and the HDCP of use are used as example, and the present invention can use the content protecting of any kind to handle any video flowing.
In Fig. 5, further show format and show the indefiniteness example that a plurality of medium are imported.As shown in the figure, shown OPD (502) utilizes " four jiaos " instruction positioning media 1 that computing machine (500) the provides HDMI input of parts source of media (501) (for example from), and it is stored in the frame buffer (505).Thus, in (505), medium 1 are positioned at the ad-hoc location (" A ") of entire frame.Similarly, the medium C HDMI of computing machine (500) (for example from) is formatd and is stored in the buffer memory (511).Utilizing similarly, " four jiaos " instruction is positioned at medium C in ad-hoc location (" B ").Video multiplexer (512) with these output combinations, is used for array output to display (569) (mux) according to the medium 1 and the medium C that are positioned at the appropriate location.As shown in the figure, each source of media (being replenished by computer instruction) determines that it takies the zone of final array output.Remaining areas can be filled " given data value ".Video multiplexer (512) makes up all inputs by " the given data value " ignored from each input.
As mentioned above, processing audio is similar to the processing of video.Computing machine is informed (HDMI) output by combination of which audio frequency of OPD.For example, preferably, also use the audio/USB order from the computing machine to OPD to change audio frequency with the basis that a frame connects a frame.
HDMIInputAudio (Input 1, and Input 2, Input 3 etc.)
Should be understood that above-mentioned solution is the indefiniteness example of preferred embodiment, and these embodiment of the present invention can utilize many different orders with appropriate information provide to OPD (502) determining beginning video wherefrom, how to readjust video size and rotating video etc. how, thereby the appropriate display mode format that the user is selected.
Fig. 6 represents to show from the schematic combination of a plurality of medium inputs.As shown in the figure, display (669) presents the output medium from OPD.Display (669) can be selected from any suitable display device, comprises computer monitor, flat-panel monitor, HDTV etc.Current preferred display (669) is big (for example 50inch) HDTV, and the space that abundance is provided is easily to hold the content that obtains from a plurality of source of media on display (669).
As shown in the figure, being used for combination from a plurality of the media contents (620a, 620b and 620c) of homology not (for example respectively from the webpage of computing machine and from the HDMI medium of parts source of media) shows.In this indefiniteness example, HDMI 1 can be the popular 1080p HD TV programme from cable television box.The website can be and this relevant website of popular HD TV programme, obtained automatically by computing machine according to the identification of popular HD TV programme.Preferably, be identical from the resolution of the medium of homology not, because this has simplified instruction set.The computing machine that provides format order to be used to make up demonstration to OPD also is used to the appropriate background (630) that is provided for showing.Computing machine also is used to provide the extraneous information (640a, 640b and 640c) about the medium that show.For example, computing machine can provide about the title of identifying information (640c)-for example program of the expression window that comprises HDMI 1 (620c) and specific plot, broadcast time (airdate) etc.In addition, can present extra information (for example web page title), corresponding to the zone on (a plurality of) extra related media (for example website that is associated with program) at 640a and 640b.
Fig. 7 represents to be used to collect the nonrestrictive and schematic identifying of related media content.As shown in the figure, the identification that system can the support media content is for example from the medium 1 of parts source of media (701).Yet, be appreciated that the present invention can use recognition technology to any source of media, comprises the medium that computing machine (700) provides.
System can be configured to provide identification by some technology, comprise identification from the program guide information that is associated with Media Stream, closed caption (closed caption) or metadata, or the identification by digital finger-print, digital finger-print can comprise video and digital audio fingerprint.Video finger print is discerned by current being preferably used for.Video finger print is to be used for the stream of analysis video automatically to catch and to extract the technology to the critical item of the content Useful Information of identification video stream from video flowing.Fingerprint comprises the modification frame of medium (for example medium 1).Identification is provided for generating the standard of the related content (from wide area network or other sources) that is associated with video flowing.Should be noted that can be at OPD itself, realize this identification in computing machine or by the equipment that connects network.
In this example, medium 1 (for example popular HD TV program) are inputed to receiver (704) from parts source of media (701) (for example cable television box).As mentioned above, OPD (702) will be in interim buffer memory (705) buffered media 1, if and medium 1 are not channel patterns, then will revise every the application of instruction that receives from computing machine (700), make medium 1 can be exported to output frame buffer memory (707) and be used for locating combination, and after this be passed to display (769) at multiplexer (712).
OPD (702) can catch necessary information (710) (for example frame seizure, closed caption data (closedcaption data), metadata, program guide information etc.) and carry out identification, for example video finger print to allow computing machine (700).Can locally carry out video finger print, but current being preferably at remote location (for example connecting via internet by computing machine (700)) finished.It should further be appreciated that and to adopt other recognition technologies, and these technology also can locally be carried out or carry out at remote location.
Video finger print will allow identification (for example system is identified as the video hit program with medium 1) by key feature or other unique aspects available in identification medium 1 data.Every N frame sends interim frame buffer (705) content from OPD (702) to computing machine (700) by usb bus.The equipment of computing machine (700) or far-end networking can use any popular video finger print technology to finish identification, for example available form Digital then Www.digitalsmits.com.
Related media (for example medium C) can be retrieved and import to identification to receiver (704).Related media can be for example from this locality or the remote data storehouse obtain, have the content and/or the previously selected content that are derived from the internet.Thus, computing machine (700) can utilize recognition result for example to use
