Produce external start signal EXEN by the MCU25 response by the signal that S/W13 or OSD23 produce.External start signal EXEN is used to select a non-rectangular shape subregion.

Use the zone of screen display to select

Fig. 5 represent how independently to use a computer screen display (OSD) 23 of 10 comes the selection portion subregion.In step 50, the user begins the subregional setting of handling part.In step 51, the default window with a predetermined size is exported in predefined position.Whether the default window output in step 52 determining step 51 is identical with the desired zone of user.This is to activate button on the OSD23 or other user interfaces and definite by the user.If default window is the desired zone of user in the step 52, in the step 57 current window is set up as default window, and end is set in step 58 zone.

If default window is not the desired zone of user, output window is automatically moved to diverse location in the step 53 in the step 52.If the window that is moved is identical with the desired zone of user, then the window that will newly be moved in the step 57 is provided as default window in the step 54, and sets end in step 58 zone.When the signal on the user for example touches the button the activation screen display produced output, moving window was identified as desired position.

If the size and the user of the window that is moved are desirable inequality, then in step 55, regulate the size of moving window automatically.For example, when predefined window when not being desired the user can press another button.In addition, screen display is waited for a predetermined amount of time.If the user do not push any button in the preset time section, it is a new size that default window is moved to that a new position maybe may be changed.

If the window that is conditioned and desired zone big or small inequality, processing turns back to step 52 with repeating step 52-58 in the step 56.Determined final area information of Fig. 5 and image adjustment information are transferred to IVP27 by MCU25.IVP27 is the zone of brightness enhancing display identification then.

Use a computer and select the zone

Fig. 6 A is depicted as area information and the adjusting information of how being set the subregion that is used to select by S/W13, sends IVP27 then.Described S/W13 generation and output area information and adjusting information are to USB15.USB15 arrives MCU25 by USB21 transmission region information and adjusting information.MCU25 changes described area information and adjusting information to be Inter-IC (I2C) agreement and the result is outputed to IVP27.

Described IVP27 is according to coming the brightness enhancing display subregion by the information that S/W13 produced.That is to say described IVP27 receiving video signals, area information and adjusting information and adjusting information and adjusting contrast and sharpness.

Described S/W13 receives the relevant message (as Fig. 3) in position of pointing to and clicking with mouse 11 from O/S17.S/W13 sets the desired subregion of user according to the input of mouse.Selected area type can be window, target, full frame or arbitrarily by the user with the manual input of mouse or by a zone of selecting step to set automatically.Described window is represented the window zone topmost of mouse pointer location.The lowermost zone of window of a mouse pointer location of described object representation.Described zone is typically rectangle, but following detailed description is if use external start signal, and described zone may be other shape except that rectangle, for example circle or polygon.

Automatically select

Automatically select and to select the subregion of show events image automatically.Automatically select to prevent since the user in the regional infringement that causes of the selection of the local error of the text that shows to CDT7 (as Fig. 2).A kind of application of automatic selection is video-game, and whole screen needs brightness enhancing display with mobile image in this recreation.

Described S/W13 search is such as registration table, window initialization (Win.ini) or the such window system file of system initialization (System.ini).Window is the zone from the uppermost position to the bottom position that finger mouse can be located.S/W13 obtains window handle (handle), for example, is used for current operation video-game and the window size relevant with window handle.S/W13 is used for the unusual branch of predetermined message (activate, determine size, move etc.) of window handle and window size then with some.After setting desired region, S/W13 will represent that by USB15 and 21 position data and the area information of subregion upper left-hand and lower right side position coordinate are transferred to IVP27.The subregion that predetermined contrast and sharpness information are automatically made the show events image then.IVP27 is the brightness enhancing display subregion on monitor end 20.

Abnormal conditions

A subregion can use the mouse 11 among Fig. 3 to select by hand by the user.Up to one with the corresponding window in subregion in program be activated, the subregion is just by brightness enhancing display.That is to say that the program that selecteed subregion is only moved is activated Shi Caihui by brightness enhancing display in window.For example, the blast subregion can be in minimized window.In another example, another program is activated in not comprising the different window of blast subregion.The subregion only when the program that comprises the subregion or window are activated just by brightness enhancing display.S/W13 obtain one be used for the window handle of current pointer and then will by pre-programmed activation that O/S17 produced or the unusual branch of nonactivated message.

A user can set the second portion zone of brightness enhancing display in the first selection portion subregion.Even the size that the size in second portion zone can be conditioned so the second portion zone is bigger is by blast, its size can be bigger than the first zone.

If the level of vision signal, for example, the R/G/B signal is OV, and the subregion can not be set at monitor end 20.This problem can be by obtaining in the starting position of the effective video signal that G/C19 produced, and set this subregion (combination of subregion), and the subregion brightness enhancing display is solved.

More detailed this process that illustrated of Fig. 6 B.Horizontal-drive signal of label 1 expression, effective video signal of label 2 expressions, one of label 3 expression from R/G/B or operation detection to live image.The part that is identified as A and B is represented not detected effective video image-region on G/C (graphics card) 19 (Fig. 3).The effective video signal is not detected in A and B part, because the R/G/B video level is 0 or very little signal level on these positions.At this moment, can not guarantee suitable Hres and be called as abnormal conditions at Fig. 9.

In the abnormal conditions process, do not use from the detected effective video signal of IVP IC and calculate HStart.On the contrary, use from the video time information of G/C19 and by using as described in Figure 10 the ratio expression formula to come search subscriber to select zone (district) 19.

If by the user select or software change frequency and the horizontal resolution of G/C19, frequency or the horizontal resolution of the G/C19 that response changes change the size of blast subregion automatically.For example, horizontal resolution 1280 times, (sx, sy) (ex ey) can be set at (100,100) and (200,200) respectively to top-left coordinates with the bottom right coordinate.If horizontal resolution become 800, the top-left coordinates that can acquire change according to formula (1) (sx ', sy ') and the bottom right coordinate (ex ', ey '):

1280:100＝800:sx’(1)

Obtain the value 62.5 of sx ' from formula (1).If being an integer, information has the error that is less than a pixel from the sx ' value that formula (1) obtains.Calculate top-left coordinates (sx ', sy ') and bottom right coordinate (ex ', ey ') according to formula (1).

Under the situation of new frequency and horizontal resolution, S/W12 receives a horizontal resolution from the Windows system and changes message to change the size of subregion.S/W13 according to determine from the vision signal of G/C19 output from the distance of the starting position in advance that vision signal is activated and start-up time at interval.The width, back that S/W13 determines to be independent of horizontal-drive signal along and the distance of left frame and start-up time at interval.

Fig. 6 C-6G provides the example that how to produce with the operating part zone.Fig. 6 C represents a display screen 600 that comprises window 601 and 602.In this window, comprise target 604.

In Fig. 6 D, the unusual branch (hooking) of software (S/W) program 608 is sought handle and the message 610 that transmits between computing machine O/S606 and program 612.If the user has selected a regional brightness enhancing display, O/S606 produces window handle and comprises the message 610 of the current coordinate of selecting the zone.

If window handle and message 610 changes (changes of blast district), unusual branched program 608 extractions are about window size with from the information of the displacement of O/S606.Calculate and be moved or the coordinate in the blast zone that controlled window is relevant.Select the regional relative distance that is identified as based on the top-left coordinates of relevant window for one.

When window is activated by unusual branched program 608, calculate the also relevant handle of memory window.Level and vertical direction according to the new top-left coordinates of calculating is provided with the blast zone again then.

Fig. 6 E is the further detail flowchart of the operation of unusual branched program among Fig. 6 D.Unusual branched program 608 storage handles and in step 622 about selecting the zone of window.If in determination step 624, do not need to store unusual branch handle, finish at step 630 a described unusual branched program.

If need to store unusual branch instruction handle in determination step 624, then unusual branched program determines whether unusual branch message represents that window is activated in the determination step 626.If unusual branch message represents that window is not activated, the blast zone is not activated in step 628.If unusual branch message represents that window activates, then unusual branched program forwards step 630 to.Step 630 activates the blast zone in handle and the area data according to storage after determining selected zone.

Fig. 6 F is one and how selects and the subregional example of moving part.In window 640A, the rectangular window 640A of selection is illustrated by the broken lines.After window 640A was moved, the window 640B that is moved was represented by solid line.Full frame 642 is 800*600 pixels.Before moving window 640A, top-left position is that (60,50) and position, bottom right are (360,300).The size of window 640A is the 300*250 pixel.The top-left position of blast zone 644A is that (100,100) and position, bottom right are (300,250) in window 640A.The size in blast zone is the 200*150 pixel.

If the top-left position of the window 640B that is moved is moved to location of pixels (420,320) and the position, bottom right is moved to location of pixels (720,370) and window size does not change, following new coordinate of finding the solution blast zone 644B.

From the top-left coordinates of window 640A to blast the horizontal range of the top-left coordinates of zone 644A and vertical range before moving be (100-60=40,100-50=50).The horizontal range of the bottom right coordinate of blast zone 644A and vertical range before moving be (300-100=200,250-100=150).The size of blast zone 644A is the 200*150 pixel.

Moving window 640B keeps identical size but moves to position (420,320).It is as follows to be moved among the window 640B blast zone 644B five equilibrium.By level and the vertical direction distance of calculating before using, (420+40=460 320+50=370) calculates new blast zone 644B by top-left position.Blast zone 644B in the position, bottom right be (460+200=660,370+150=520) because the size of former blast zone 644A is the 200*150 pixel.

Fig. 6 G represents how to calculate the example in blast zone when window 650A is reset size.The subregion by " window selection " in window 650A by brightness enhancing display.The original size of the window 650A that selects is represented by " dotted line ".When window size was reformed, the window 650B of change was represented by solid line.

If the zone among the window 650A then is necessary for the new size of window 650B and recomputates the blast zone by brightness enhancing display.Store window handle and the zone of selected window 650A by unusual branched program.If window message is pointed out the change of window size, the window area that calculates change again is to determine the size in blast zone.

The function that adopts the C++ program language to describe is as follows.

GetCursorPos(&MousePoint)；

hWnd＝::WindowFromPoint(MousePoint)；

::GetWindowRect(hWnd，m_rectSelect)。

The position of the current mouse pointer of first line display.Second row produces the window handle that is used for mouse pointer.The third line utilizes described window office handle to find the solution relevant window area.The third line is expressed as upper left/bottom right (X _L, Y _T), (X _R, Y _B) type.

Non-rectangular area

Fig. 7 represents how to use an external start signal selection to have the synoptic diagram in the zone of non-rectangular shape.The zone of being set by S/W13 is a rectangle normally.In this case, area information and the adjustment information that is included in the block of registers 42 (shown in Figure 4) among the IVP is set to the blast rectangular area.If the zone of being set by S/W13 is not a rectangle, the area information of different shape is sent to IVP27 by utilizing an external start signal EXEN.

For example, in Fig. 7, the subregion A of a circle is selected for brightness enhancing display.External signal EXEN_1 is activated and will be by the round A terminal point EA of brightness enhancing display by deactivation at starting point SA.External start signal EXEN_N is activated and in the terminal point EB deactivation of circle A at starting point SB.External start signal EXEN_2N is activated and in terminal point EC deactivation at the starting point SC of circle.

With reference to figure 6 and 7, produce external start signal EXEN_1-EXEN_2N, be used for the horizontal lines of brightness enhancing display subregion A and on monitor end 20, be scanned.Subregion A is presented on the monitor end 20 then and passes through the IVP27 brightness enhancing display.External start signal EXEN_1-EXEN_2N and horizontal-drive signal Hsync are synchronous.Monitor end 20 produces full frame in a period of time when horizontal-drive signal Hsync is activated.MCU25 detection level synchronizing signal Hsync and degree of switching synchronizing signal Hsync are to time domain.MCU25 sets the distance of the starting point from horizontal-drive signal Hsync to the time interval that starts.MCU25 starts the external start signal EXEN_1-EXEN_2N from its starting point to terminal point then.

For at vertical axis interval start-up time, row distance is set according to a vertical synchronizing signal.In this case, S/W13 will be transferred to MCU25 about the area information of every row in during vertical synchronizing signal Hsync.MCU25 handles from the S/W13 signal transmitted during each vertical synchronizing signal Hsync.S/W13 produces the horizontal resolution of effective video signal and presses the area information about the subregion of effective video resolution in the middle of the current set information from G/C19.That is to say, the area information in the generation and a time interval, vision signal is activated during this time interval.

Error compensation

Error may occur in computer terminal 10 and the different coordinate system of monitor 20 ends.IVP27 can produce a subregion based on horizontal-drive signal Hsync.Error is created between area information that may be produced by S/W13 and the area information that uses IVP27.Error may be caused by the different or the like of coordinate basic point and horizontal resolution.

The PLL of IVP27 is difficult in the pixel cell and synchronously produces, and this is because the video resolution generation of holding at PC is different.Therefore, design the PLL of IVP27 usually so that be the quantity of setting up of deterministic model.

For example, the Model Selection horizontal resolution of IVP27 can select in 1024 and 1280 pixels 640,800.Yet the horizontal resolution of effective video signal can be 720,832,1152 and 1600.IVP27 will produce one can not selecteed horizontal resolution error, and for example 720,832,1152 and 1600.When computer terminal 10 had different horizontal resolutions with monitor end 20, the coordinate (for example, mouse pointer) of the mouse of selecting at computer terminal 10 11 was different with the coordinate on being presented at monitor end 20.

Fig. 8 represents how to adopt two-stage phaselocked loop (PLL) to carry out the time diagram of error compensation.IVP27 carries out an OR operation according to R/G/B effective video signal, to produce the video enabling signal of a definite threshold voltage levels.Utilize the PLL (not shown) among the IVP27 to produce a clock signal of system.Described PLL comes between first rising edge to the second rising edge of horizontal-drive signal Hsync according to the model selection horizontal resolution shown in first signal among Fig. 8

A time interval.Two-stage PLL (not shown) is according to the model selection horizontal resolution shown in first signal among Fig. 8 according to the present invention, From rising edge of effective video signal to a time interval the negative edge.Owing to utilizing the same reference signal to eliminate error, from S/W13 transmission effective video signal and area information by two-stage PLL.

S/W13 utilizes formula (2) compensating error, and in Fig. 8, HRes represents by the horizontal resolution of the effective video signal of G/C19 (Fig. 3) output and the actual coordinate that MousePos is illustrated in computer terminal 10 determined mouses 11 (mouse pointer).Mode is illustrated among the IVP27 by the determined horizontal resolution of two-stage PLL, and x is illustrated in CDT7 and goes up the coordinate that is derived from actual mouse pointer coordinate MousePos that shows.The value of x comes from IVP27, and is as follows.

Hers:MousePos＝Mode:x

x＝MosuePos/HRes (2)

Fig. 9 be to use horizontal-drive signal Hsync and effective video signal carry out error compensation the time diagram of method.Among Fig. 9, PLL (Hsync) is illustrated in the horizontal-drive signal among the IVP27.HTotal represents the sum of the pixel that G/C19 exports in the horizontal direction, and MousePos represents the physical location of mouse 11 at computer terminal 10.Mode represents the resolution determined by PLL among the IVP27, and x be illustrated in CDT7 go up show with the corresponding pointer of actual mouse position MousePos.Position x comes from IVP27.Value dot_1 represent from when PLL (Hsync) when being activated to the time when vision signal is activated.Value dot_r represent from when vision signal during by deactivation to when the time of PLL (Hsync) when being activated again.

Obtain position x according to formula (3).Value x ' expression is used to calculate the middle coefficient of x:

[Mode-(Δdot_+Δdot_r):x’＝HRes:MousePos

$x^{,}=\frac{[\mathrm{Mode}-(\mathrm{\Δdot}\_1+\mathrm{\Δdot}-r)*\mathrm{MousePos}}{\mathrm{HRes}}$

x＝x’+Δdot_1 (3)

IVP27 may not carry out some arithmetical operation.For example, the long-pending or merchant of multiplication and division generation is not 2 multiple.These computings can be carried out by S/W13.Information about dot_1 and dot_r obtains from external source by read operation.The information that obtains is applied to formula (3) so that error compensation to be provided.

In an example, S/W13 (Fig. 3) is identified for the Mode information of IVP27, and transmission Mode information is to MUC25.Described MUC25 is provided with the Mode among the IVP27, reads the information about dot_1 and dot_r, by USB21 and 15 information transmission is arrived S/W13.Described S/W13 according to formula (3) determine position x and by USB21 and 15 and the value of MUC25 transmission x to IVP27.

In another example, MUC25 level of response resolution HRes and actual mouse position MousePos read dot_1 and dot_r from IVP27, and utilize formula (3) calculating location x, transmit described position x then to IVP27.

Figure 10 is that the time diagram that carries out error compensation from the effective video signal of G/C19 output is used in expression.In Figure 10, HTotal represents the sum of pixel on the horizontal direction of G/C19 output.HStart represents the starting position of the video image of G/C19 output.HRes represents the horizontal resolution of effective video signal, and MousePos represents the physical location of mouse 11.Mode represent the screen resolution determined by IVP27, x represent with IVP27 in the corresponding position of handled actual mouse position MousePos.

S/W13 obtains to be used for the current set information of display 7 and to produce and the proportional value of pixel quantity HTotal from G/C19.For example, suppose that pixel quantity HTotal, starting position HStart, horizontal resolution HRes and actual mouse position MousePos are respectively 900,110,720 and 100.When the Mode that is produced by horizontal-drive signal PLL (Hsync) is 800, obtain by formula (4) with the corresponding position x of actual mouse position MousePos:

HTotal(HStart+MousePos)＝Mode:x

$X=\frac{(\mathrm{HStart}+\mathrm{MousePos})\·\mathrm{MOde}}{\mathrm{HTotal}}---\left(4\right)$

X＝(110+100)*800/900＝186.6

Obtained after the position of x according to formula (4), S/W13 by USB15 and 21 and MCU25 transmission location x to IVP27.In this case, the width of the horizontal-drive signal Hsync that causes owing to the difference of polarity of starting position HStart changes.The starting position is sent to IVP27's from the S/W13 that this G/C19 has obtained the polarity setting.In addition, IVP27 can detect polarity.
