圖1為本發明一實施例之切換裝置之功能方塊示意圖。請參閱圖1。一種切換裝置1,包括一第一超高速通用序列匯流排11、一第二超高速通用序列匯流排12、一第一轉換單元21、一第二轉換單元22、一第一切換單元31、一第二切換單元32、一第三轉換單元14、一第一輸出單元16、一第二輸出單元18及一視頻輸出單元20。其中第一及第二超高速通用序列匯流排11、12均為符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的連接埠(USB 3.1)。 FIG. 1 is a schematic functional block diagram of a switching device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1. A switching device 1 includes a first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus bar 11, a second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus bar 12, a first conversion unit 21, a second conversion unit 22, a first switching unit 31, and a The second switching unit 32, a third converting unit 14, a first output unit 16, a second output unit 18, and a video output unit 20. The first and second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus bars 11 and 12 are all connected to the universal serial bus 3.1 specification (USB 3.1).

在實務上,第一轉換單元21電性連接第一超高速通用序列匯流排11、第一切換單元31及第二切換單元32。第二轉換單元22電性連接第二超高速通用序列匯流排12、第一切換單元31及第二切換單元32。第三轉換單元14電性連接第一切換單元31及第二輸出單元18。第一輸出單元16電性連接第一切換單元31。視頻輸出單元20電性連接第二切換單元32。其中,第一及第二超高速通用序列匯流排11、12分別電性連接電腦主機9a、9b。 In practice, the first conversion unit 21 is electrically connected to the first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus bar 11, the first switching unit 31, and the second switching unit 32. The second conversion unit 22 is electrically connected to the second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus 12, the first switching unit 31, and the second switching unit 32. The third converting unit 14 is electrically connected to the first switching unit 31 and the second output unit 18 . The first output unit 16 is electrically connected to the first switching unit 31. The video output unit 20 is electrically connected to the second switching unit 32. The first and second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus bars 11 and 12 are electrically connected to the computer hosts 9a and 9b, respectively.

切換裝置1例如為多電腦切換器(KVM switch)。電腦主機9a、9b可為具有通用序列匯流排連接埠的電腦裝置、主控裝置或其他電腦裝置。而第一輸出單元16、第二輸出單元18及視頻輸出單元20可分別電性連接至少一受控裝置(未繪示)。受控裝置例如為具有通用序列匯流排連接埠的印表機、顯示器、智慧型手機、平板電腦、隨身碟、鍵盤或滑鼠等周邊裝置,或者為多電腦切換器(KVM)。本實施例不限制切換裝置1及受控裝置的態樣。 The switching device 1 is, for example, a KVM switch.

The first output unit 16, the second output unit 18, and the video output unit 20 are electrically connected to at least one controlled device (not shown). The controlled device is, for example, a peripheral device having a universal serial bus port, a display, a smart phone, a tablet, a flash drive, a keyboard or a mouse, or a KVM. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the switching device 1 and the controlled device.

第一超高速通用序列匯流排11用以接收一第一資訊。第二超高速通用序列匯流排12用以接收一第二資訊。在實務上,第一超高速通用序列匯流排11例如為一符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的連接埠。而第二超高速通用序列匯流排12例如為一符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的連接埠。 The first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus 11 is configured to receive a first information. The second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus 12 is configured to receive a second information. In practice, the first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus 11 is, for example, a port that conforms to the specification of the universal sequence bus 3.1. The second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus 12 is, for example, a port that conforms to the general sequence bus 3.1 specification.

在實務上,通用序列匯流排3.1規範相較於通用序列匯流排 3.0規範,通用序列匯流排3.1規範新增加Type-C介面的連接埠。其中,Type-C介面的連接埠之插座和線材不會相容於通用序列匯流排3.0規範原有的Type-A/Type-B介面。Type-C介面外觀上最大特點在於其上下端完全一致,因此使用者不必區分USB正反面,如同蘋果電腦之Lightning介面或Thunderbolt介面一樣,兩個方向都可以插入。而原有Type-A/Type-B介面係受限於插接的方向。 In practice, the Universal Sequence Bus 3.1 specification is compared to the Universal Sequence Bus The 3.0 specification, the Universal Sequence Bus 3.1 specification adds a new Type-C interface. Among them, the sockets and wires of the Type-C interface are not compatible with the original Type-A/Type-B interface of the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 specification. The biggest feature of the Type-C interface is that its upper and lower ends are exactly the same, so the user does not have to distinguish between the front and back of the USB. Just like the Lightning interface or the Thunderbolt interface of Apple Computer, both directions can be inserted. The original Type-A/Type-B interface is limited by the direction of the plug.

本實施例係利用原有兩個以上之符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的輸入連接埠的設計,並將其轉換為至少一符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的輸出連接埠、至少一符合通用序列匯流排3.0(或2.0)規範的輸出連接埠及一視頻訊號輸出的輸出連接埠的其中至少之一或組合。因此,切換裝置1可電性連接顯示器、智慧型手機、平板電腦、隨身碟、滑鼠、鍵盤或其他周邊裝置,藉此提升切換裝置1的使用方便性。本實施例不限制切換裝置1的運作態樣。 This embodiment utilizes the design of two or more original input ports conforming to the general sequence bus bar 3.1 specification, and converts it into at least one output port conforming to the general sequence bus bar 3.1 specification, and at least one conforming to the universal sequence confluence. At least one or a combination of an output port of the 3.0 (or 2.0) specification and an output port of a video signal output. Therefore, the switching device 1 can be electrically connected to the display, the smart phone, the tablet, the flash drive, the mouse, the keyboard or other peripheral devices, thereby improving the usability of the switching device 1. This embodiment does not limit the operational aspect of the switching device 1.

接下來,第一轉換單元21電性連接第一超高速通用序列匯流排11。第二轉換單元22電性連接第二超高速通用序列匯流排12。在實務上,第一及第二轉換單元21、22具有相同的功用。第一及第二轉換單元21、22分別為訊號分離器。其中訊號分離器用以將電腦主機9a、9b所輸出的資訊分離為超高速通用序列匯流排訊號及視頻訊號。 Next, the first conversion unit 21 is electrically connected to the first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus bar 11. The second conversion unit 22 is electrically connected to the second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus 12 . In practice, the first and second conversion units 21, 22 have the same function. The first and second conversion units 21, 22 are respectively signal splitters. The signal separator is used to separate the information output by the computer mainframes 9a and 9b into ultra-high speed universal serial bus signals and video signals.

超高速通用序列匯流排具有10Gbit/s的傳輸速率,其中超高速通用序列匯流排係透過兩組5Gbit/s的通道以分別傳輸超高速通用序列匯流排訊號及視頻訊號。因此,本實施例之第一及第二轉換單元21、22用以將超高速通用序列匯流排訊號及視頻訊號分流,並將同一性質的訊號分流傳輸至同一切換單元31、32。 The ultra-high-speed universal serial bus has a transmission rate of 10 Gbit/s, and the ultra-high-speed universal serial bus transmits the ultra-high-speed universal serial bus signal and the video signal through two sets of 5 Gbit/s channels. Therefore, the first and second converting units 21 and 22 of the embodiment are configured to offload the ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal and the video signal, and separately transmit the signals of the same nature to the same switching unit 31, 32.

詳細來說,第一轉換單元21例如為一第一訊號分離器,第一訊號分離器具有一第一傳輸端211及一第二傳輸端212。第一訊號分離器用以將第一資訊分離為第一視頻訊號及第一超高速通用序 列匯流排訊號。 In detail, the first conversion unit 21 is, for example, a first signal separator, and the first signal separator has a first transmission end 211 and a second transmission end 212. The first signal separator is configured to separate the first information into the first video signal and the first ultra-high speed universal sequence Column bus signal.

而第二轉換單元22為一第二訊號分離器,第二訊號分離器具有一第三傳輸端223及一第四傳輸端224。第二訊號分離器用以將第二資訊分離為第二視頻訊號及第二超高速通用序列匯流排訊號。其中第一傳輸端211用以輸出第一超高速通用序列匯流排訊號,第二傳輸端212用以輸出第一視頻訊號,第三傳輸端223用以輸出第二超高速通用序列匯流排訊號,第四傳輸端224用以輸出第二視頻訊號。 The second conversion unit 22 is a second signal separator, and the second signal separator has a third transmission end 223 and a fourth transmission end 224. The second signal separator is configured to separate the second information into the second video signal and the second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal. The first transmission end 211 is configured to output a first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus line signal, the second transmission end 212 is configured to output a first video signal, and the third transmission end 223 is configured to output a second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus line signal. The fourth transmitting end 224 is configured to output a second video signal.

簡單來說,每一電腦主機9a、9b所傳輸的資訊透過該些轉換單元21、22其中之一轉換或分離後,以使每一轉換單元21、22輸出超高速通用序列匯流排訊號及視頻訊號。換句話說,超高速通用序列匯流排訊號及視頻訊號將分別被歸類並傳輸至第一或第二切換單元31、32。 Briefly, the information transmitted by each computer host 9a, 9b is converted or separated by one of the conversion units 21, 22, so that each conversion unit 21, 22 outputs an ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal and video. Signal. In other words, the ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal and video signal will be classified and transmitted to the first or second switching units 31, 32, respectively.

第一切換單元31電性連接第一轉換單元21及第二轉換單元22。第二切換單元32電性連接第一轉換單元21及第二轉換單元22。為了方便說明,本實施例係以第一切換單元31用以切換第一及第二超高速通用序列匯流排訊號,且第二切換單元32用以切換第一及第二視頻訊號來說明。 The first switching unit 31 is electrically connected to the first converting unit 21 and the second converting unit 22. The second switching unit 32 is electrically connected to the first conversion unit 21 and the second conversion unit 22. For convenience of description, the first switching unit 31 is configured to switch the first and second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signals, and the second switching unit 32 is configured to switch the first and second video signals.

本實施例更專以第一切換單元31處理或切換超高速通用序列匯流排訊號的傳輸路徑,並以第二切換單元32處理或切換視頻訊號的傳輸路徑,可以更有效率地善用不同頻寬的資料傳輸通道,使得資料的切換及傳遞更有效率。其中,切換單元31、32例如透過開關、繼電器、單刀雙擲開關、單刀多擲開關或雙刀雙擲開關來實現。本實施例不限制第一及第二切換單元31、32的態樣。 In this embodiment, the transmission path of the ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal is processed or switched by the first switching unit 31, and the transmission path of the video signal is processed or switched by the second switching unit 32, so that different frequencies can be utilized more efficiently. The wide data transmission channel makes data switching and transmission more efficient. The switching units 31 and 32 are realized by, for example, a switch, a relay, a single pole double throw switch, a single pole multi throw switch or a double pole double throw switch. This embodiment does not limit the aspects of the first and second switching units 31, 32.

值得注意的是,第一及第二切換單元31、32係受控於切換裝置1內的處理電路(未繪示)或控制電路(未繪示)。藉此第一及第二切換單元31、32可同步切換,以使電腦主機9a所輸出的第一資訊傳輸至第一及第二輸出單元16、18及視頻輸出單元20輸出; 或是使電腦主機9b所輸出的第二資訊傳輸至第一及第二輸出單元16、18及視頻輸出單元20輸出。 It should be noted that the first and second switching units 31, 32 are controlled by processing circuits (not shown) or control circuits (not shown) in the switching device 1. Thereby, the first and second switching units 31, 32 can be synchronously switched, so that the first information output by the computer host 9a is transmitted to the first and second output units 16, 18 and the video output unit 20 for output; Or the second information outputted by the host computer 9b is transmitted to the first and second output units 16, 18 and the video output unit 20 for output.

基於上述,第一轉換單元21根據第一資訊以轉換輸出一第一視頻訊號及一第一超高速通用序列匯流排訊號,且第二轉換單元22根據第二資訊以轉換輸出一第二視頻訊號及一第二超高速通用序列匯流排訊號。第一切換單元31切換第一超高速通用序列匯流排訊號或第二超高速通用序列匯流排訊號輸出,第二切換單元32切換第一視頻訊號或第二視頻訊號輸出。 Based on the above, the first converting unit 21 converts and outputs a first video signal and a first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal according to the first information, and the second converting unit 22 converts and outputs a second video signal according to the second information.

此外,第三轉換單元14用以將超高速通用序列匯流排訊號轉換為高速通用序列匯流排訊號。其中高速通用序列匯流排訊號例如約為5Gbit/s的傳輸速率的訊號。換言之,超高速通用序列匯流排訊號的資料傳輸速率約可為高速通用序列匯流排訊號的2倍快。另高速通用序列匯流排訊號適用於傳輸智慧型手機(或平板電腦)的資料訊號、USB 3.0的隨身碟或其他周邊裝置的訊號。 In addition, the third converting unit 14 is configured to convert the ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal into a high speed universal sequence bus signal. The high-speed universal sequence bus signal is, for example, a signal of a transmission rate of about 5 Gbit/s. In other words, the data transfer rate of the ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal can be about twice as fast as the high speed universal sequence bus signal. Another high-speed universal serial bus signal is suitable for transmitting data signals from smart phones (or tablets), USB 3.0 flash drives or other peripheral devices.

視頻輸出單元20例如為一高解析度多媒體介面(HDMI)、一視訊圖形陣列介面(VGA)、一數位視訊介面(DVI)、一D端子、一串列數位介面或一數位式視訊介面(DisplayPort)等視頻輸出連接埠。本實施例不限制視頻輸出單元20的態樣。第一輸出單元16例如為一符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的連接埠,第二輸出單元18例如為一符合通用序列匯流排3.0規範的連接埠。本實施例不限制第一及第二輸出單元16、18的態樣。 The video output unit 20 is, for example, a high-resolution multimedia interface (HDMI), a video graphics array interface (VGA), a digital video interface (DVI), a D-terminal, a serial digital interface, or a digital video interface (DisplayPort). ) and other video output connections. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the video output unit 20. The first output unit 16 is, for example, a port that conforms to the specification of the universal sequence bus 3. The second output unit 18 is, for example, a port that conforms to the specification of the universal sequence bus 3.0. This embodiment does not limit the aspects of the first and second output units 16, 18.

視頻輸出單元20電性連接第二切換單元32,視頻輸出單元20用以輸出第一視頻訊號或第二視頻訊號。而第一輸出單元16用以輸出第一超高速通用序列匯流排訊號或第二超高速通用序列匯流排訊號。第二輸出單元18用以輸出第一通用序列匯流排訊號或第二通用序列匯流排訊號。 The video output unit 20 is electrically connected to the second switching unit 32, and the video output unit 20 is configured to output a first video signal or a second video signal. The first output unit 16 is configured to output a first ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal or a second ultra-high speed universal sequence bus signal. The second output unit 18 is configured to output a first universal sequence bus signal or a second universal sequence bus signal.

由此可知,本實施例係利用原有兩個以上符合通用序列匯流排3.1規範的輸入連接埠的設計,並將其轉換為一符合通用序列匯 流排3.1規範的輸出連接埠、一符合通用序列匯流排3.0規範的輸出連接埠及一視頻輸出連接埠的組合。因此,切換裝置1可電性連接顯示器、隨身碟、智慧型手機、平板電腦、滑鼠、鍵盤或其他周邊裝置,藉此提升切換裝置1的使用方便性。 It can be seen that the present embodiment utilizes the design of two or more input ports that conform to the specification of the universal sequence bus 3. and converts it into a universal sequence.
