Some embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a Type-C docking system 100 supporting multi-host connection, which includes an input module 10, a main control module 20 and an output module 30 sequentially connected with data. The input module 10 is used for connecting with an external host device, and the main control module 20 is used for connecting with and controlling the input module 10 to transmit information input from the input module 10 to the output module 30 for output.
Specifically, the input module 10 is provided with at least two first Type-C interfaces (not shown), and each first Type-C interface can be plugged into an external device to connect a plurality of external devices to the docking station system 100, so as to prevent the problem of wasting resources due to the need of preparing a plurality of docking stations 200 when at least two devices need to be connected at the same time.

It should be noted that, in the existing products, the Type-a interface is the most common USB interface, and has a rectangular shape. Its size is relatively large and is typically used for USB ports of host devices (e.g., computers, gaming machines, etc.). The Type-B interface has an approximately square shape with corners slightly sloped. It is mainly used for connecting with external equipment such as printers, scanners, etc. There are several variations of Type-B interfaces, such as Micro-B and Mini-B, which are smaller in size than standard Type-B, and are mainly used for portable devices such as cell phones, digital cameras, etc. The Type-C interface is a novel USB interface, and has smaller size and reversible plug design. This means that the user can insert the Type-C interface in any direction, improving convenience of use.
Further, the USBType-A and Type-B interfaces can support various versions from USB1.0 to USB3.2, with data transfer rates varying from 1.5Mbps to 20Gbps depending on the USB version of the application. While the USBType-C interface is typically used with USB version 3.1 and USB version 3.2, providing data transfer rates up to 20 Gbps. In addition, the Type-C interface also supports USB PowerDelivery (USBPD) technology, which can provide up to 100W of power to connected devices. The Type-C interface also supports other protocols, such as DisplayPort, thunderbolt, to realize integration of audio/video transmission and data transmission, which is the prior art, so that redundant description is omitted here.
Therefore, as can be seen from the above description, the present utility model simultaneously supports the docking station 200 to connect at least two host devices by providing at least two first Type-C interfaces on the input module 10, so as to avoid the problem of resource waste caused by using a plurality of docking stations 200 or avoid the problem of damage caused by frequent insertion of a single docking station 200. And the USBType-C supports USB transmission protocol, USBPD (USBPowerDelivery power transmission protocol) and DPAlt-mode video protocol, so that the docking station system 100 formed by using the USBType-C has the functions of simultaneously meeting data transmission, video transmission and charging.
It should be explained that the USB protocol is a widely used interface technology for communication and power transmission between electronic devices. And the USB protocol is mainly characterized in that:
1. commonality: USB interfaces are ubiquitous on a variety of devices, such as computers, cell phones, printers, cameras, and the like.
2. Hot plug: the user can connect and disconnect the USB device without turning off the power supply.
3. Automatic identification: when the USB device is connected to the host, the system automatically recognizes and installs the corresponding driver.
4. Scalability: through the USB hub, one USB port can connect a plurality of devices.
5. Transmission speed: USB has different versions, the transmission speed varies with the version:
USB1.0: the highest transmission speed is 12Mbps (full speed)
USB1.1: the highest transmission speed is 12Mbps (full speed), and is compatible with USB1.0
USB2.0: the highest transmission speed is 480Mbps (high speed), and is compatible with USB1.x
USB3.0: the highest transmission speed is 5Gbps (super speed), and is compatible with USB2.0
USB3.1: the highest transmission speed is 10Gbps (super speed+), and is compatible with USB3.0
USB3.2: the highest transmission speed is 20Gbps (super speed +2x2), and is compatible with USB3.1
USB4: the highest transmission speed is 40Gbps, and is compatible with USB3.2 and Thunderbolt3
6. And (3) power supply: the USB interface may provide power to the connected device, with standard USB2.0 providing a maximum of 5V/0.5A current, USB3.0 providing a maximum of 5V/0.9A current, and USB-C (based on USB3.1 and USB 4) providing a maximum of 20V/5A current.
7. USB type: there are various types of USB interfaces, including Type-A, type-B, type-C, etc. Type-A and Type-B are mainly used for USB1.X and 2.0 devices, and Type-C is used for USB3.1 and USB4 devices, and have higher transmission speed and stronger power supply capability.
8. Data transmission mode: USB supports several data transfer modes:
control transmission: for device initialization, configuration and command transmission
Interrupt transmission: for low-latency, small-data-volume transmission, e.g. mice and keyboards
And (3) batch transmission: for mass data transmission, e.g. printers and hard disks
Synchronous transmission: for real-time data transmission, e.g. audio and video equipment
Master-slave model: USB employs a master-slave model, where a master device (typically a computer) is responsible for managing communications and a slave device (e.g., keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.) is responsible for responding to requests from the master device. A master device may communicate with multiple slave devices simultaneously.
9. Class of equipment: USB devices are classified into different categories by function, such as audio devices, image devices, printing devices, and the like. This allows the operating system to more conveniently identify and manage different types of USB devices.
10. Device configuration: a USB device may support multiple configurations, each with different power consumption, interfaces, and characteristics. When the device is connected to the host, the host selects an appropriate configuration for the device to use as desired.
11. End point: the USB device communicates data with the host through the endpoint. Each endpoint has a unique address and type of transmission (e.g., control, interrupt, bulk, or synchronous transmission). A device may have multiple endpoints to support different types of data communications.
12. A descriptor: the USB device provides information about its configuration, interface, and endpoints to the host through the descriptors. The descriptors include device descriptors, configuration descriptors, interface descriptors, endpoint descriptors, and the like. The host knows the function and configuration of the device by querying the descriptors.
Further, USBPowerDelivery (USBPD or PD) is a USB power transfer protocol that provides a USB device with a higher power output capability. The USBPD improves the charging and power performance of a conventional USB interface by allowing bi-directional power transfer between devices. It supports higher voltage and current levels and can provide fast charging and higher power supply for various types of devices (e.g., cell phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc.).
The following are some of the main features of the usbpoweredelivery:
1. higher power supply output: the USBPD supports a variety of voltage and current levels, up to 20V/5A (100W) of output power. This allows the PD protocol to meet the charging and power requirements of different types of devices, such as cell phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc.
2. Bidirectional power transmission: the USBPD allows bi-directional power transfer between devices, meaning that the devices can be charged or powered to each other as desired. For example, a notebook computer may use a USB PD to charge other devices, while also receiving charge via the USBPD.
3. Dynamic power distribution: the USBPD supports dynamic power allocation, allowing the device to adjust power usage according to actual demand. For example, when one device is transmitting data and requires less power, the other device may use more power to charge.
4. Downward compatibility: the USBPD is compatible with conventional USB interfaces and protocols. This means you can use legacy USB devices on PD enabled devices, but may not enjoy the higher power output and fast charge functions provided by the USBPD.
5. USBType-C interface: the USBPD is typically used with the USBType-C interface because the Type-C interface supports higher data transfer rates and power output capabilities. However, devices based in part on the USBType-A or Type-B interfaces also support the USBPD protocol.
Further, DPAltMode (DPAlt Mode for short) is a technology for implementing DisplayPort signal transmission on the USBType-C interface. The USB interface allows the USBType-C interface to simultaneously support USB data transmission and DisplayPort video output, thereby greatly improving the flexibility and the functionality of the interface.
DPAltMode transmits a DisplayPort signal using the high-speed signal path (high-speed differential pair) of the USBType-C interface, while preserving the capabilities of USB data transmission and power transmission. Through DPAltMode, a user can use a USBType-C cable to connect a display, a television or a projector, realize high-definition video and audio output, and simultaneously carry out data transmission and device charging.
DPAltMode is widely used in various devices and application scenarios, for example:
1. notebook computer: many notebook computers support DPAlt Mode using the USBType-C interface, allowing a user to interface with a display and other peripherals via an interface.
2. A display: the display supporting the DPAltMode can be connected with a computer, a tablet and other equipment through a USBType-C cable, so that video output and USB data transmission are realized.
3. Tablet and smart phone: part of the tablet and the smart phone support DPAltMode, so that a user is allowed to connect the mobile device with a large-screen display to play high-definition video or expand a desktop.
4. Adapter and docking station: the adapter and the docking station supporting the DPAltMode can convert the USB Type-C interface into a DisplayPort, HDMI or VGA video output interface, and are convenient for users to connect different types of display devices.
With continued reference to fig. 1, further, the main control module 20 includes a switch array module 21 and a control module 22.

Specifically, the data transmission unit 211, the video transmission unit 212 and the charging unit 213 are configured to individually connect and collect information of the external devices inserted into each of the first Type-C interfaces. It can be understood that the data transmission unit 211, the video transmission unit 212 and the charging unit 213 are in the prior art, and the working principle thereof is not repeated here.
Further, the control module 22 includes a control unit 221 and an operation unit 222.

In one embodiment, the multi-stream transport module 60 is a displayport multi-Stream HubController. So that it can pass information received from the first hub module 40 to a different output port 2102.
It should be explained that DisplayPort Multi-streamhub (abbreviated as DPMSTHubController) is an electronic device that supports DisplayPort Multi-StreamTransport (MST) technology. MST technology allows multiple independent video streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single DisplayPort connection, thereby enabling multiple display connections and display extensions.
The main role of DPMSTHubController is to split a single DisplayPort input signal into multiple independent video output signals. These output signals may be connected to multiple displays to enable simultaneous display of different content or to expand the desktop. By using DPMSTHubController, a user can implement a multi-display connection without adding additional graphics cards and video interfaces.
