Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, it illustrates the connection configuration schematic diagram into the HDMI device.The connection configuration of HDMI device for example comprises TV 110, enlarger 120, DVD player 132, D-VHS videocorder 134, set-top box 136, personal video record 140.Owing to is not point-to-point connected mode between the HDMI device, so certainly will there be a unique physical address (Physical Address) in each HDMI device, just can not clash collision problem.Since the problem of address assignment is arranged, nature must have the dynamic mechanism of a cover to regulate automatically, this course is called physical address and finds course (Physical Address Discovery), and all physical addresss are all represented with 4 unitss, and the exponent number that device connects mostly is 5 rank most.
The TV 110 of whole connection configuration is a so-called device (Root Device), and its physical address is " 0.0.0.0 ", and the enlarger 120 that couples with TV 110, its physical address is " 1.0.0.0 ".DVD player 132, D-VHS videocorder 134 and set-top box 136 are coupled to enlarger 120 respectively, and DVD player 132, D-VHS videocorder 134 and set-top box 136 are " 1.1.0.0 " respectively, " 1.2.0.0 " reaches " 1.3.0.0 ".Be coupled to the personal video record 140 of set-top box 136, its physical address is " 1.3.1.0 ".
Please refer to Fig. 2, it illustrates the logical address table into the HDMI device.In addition, each HDMI is installed on all a unique logical address (Logical Address) in the whole connection configuration.For instance, the logical address of TV is 0, and the logical address of DVD player 1 and DVD player 2 is respectively 4 and 8.It should be noted that in Fig. 2, " 1 " in the DVD player 1 is expressed as first and adds the DVD player that connects configuration, and " 2 " in the DVD player 2 are expressed as second DVD player that adds the connection configuration.
Please refer to Fig. 3, it illustrates a kind of calcspar of multimedia system.Multimedia system 1 comprises TV remote controller 10, TV 20, chromacoder 30 and first computer 40 (1).TV remote controller 10 is sent audio-visual control signal S2 in order to RTV remote television 20, and audio-visual control signal for example is consumer electronics control (Consumer Electronics Control, CEC) signal.Chromacoder 30 is in order to convert audio-visual control signal S2 to computer control signal S3 to control first computer 40 (1).Thus, the user only need use TV remote controller 10 can control first computer 40 (1), with work such as execution browsing page or document processing, and does not need to dispose extraly computer input units such as keyboard or mouse.Not only can avoid computer input units such as keyboard or mouse to take up room, more can reach the idea that promotes " is all multimedia equipments of may command with single TV remote controller " in recent years.
Aforementioned chromacoder 30 comprises simulation unit 510 and converting unit 520, and simulation unit 510 and converting unit 520 for example are microcontrollers.Simulation unit 510 in order to emulation one AV device to receive audio-visual control signal S2.AV device for example is HDMI devices such as recording apparatus shown in Figure 2, set-top box, audio system, DVD player.Audio-visual control signal S2 is a signal field shown in Figure 4 for example, comprises source logical address 1100, purpose logical address 1200 and performance data block 1300.Source logical address 1100 and purpose logical address 1200 represents the purpose (Follower) sending the starting point (Initiator) of audio-visual control signal S2 and desire to be sent to respectively, and performance data block 1300 is represented order or the data that tendencies to develop are sent.Converting unit 520 is converted to a corresponding computer control signal S3 to control first computer 40 (1) according to the performance data block 1300 of audio-visual control signal S2.
Furthermore, simulation unit 510 obtains the logical address of the physical address and the simulation video and audio device of first computer 40 (1).When chromacoder 30 receives audio-visual control signal S2, does converting unit 520 judge whether the logical address of AV device of 510 emulation of purpose logical address 1200 and simulation unit identical? if the logical address of the AV device of 510 emulation of purpose logical address 1200 and simulation unit is identical, is about to performance data block 1300 and is converted to computer control signal S3 to control first computer 40 (1).
The mode of aforementioned simulation unit 510 simulation video and audio devices for example is the logical address of the AV device of 30 emulation of broadcast mode (Broadcasting) announcement signal conversion equipment.If the logical address of the AV device of institute's emulation is used by other device, then chromacoder 30 will be received an ack signal this moment, represent that the logical address of original institute emulation clashes collision with conventional device.Simulation unit 510 is another AV device of emulation, to obtain the logical address of another AV device.For instance, the logical address of simulation unit 510 original replicating machine top boxs, and equal address 3 (as shown in Figure 2) with the logical address of 30 emulation of broadcast mode announcement signal conversion equipment.This moment, set-top box promptly responded an ack signal to simulation unit 510 if existing set-top box adds in the connection configuration of TV 30, and the logical address that expression connects in the configuration has clashed collision.Simulation unit 510 learns that the logical address of original institute emulation has clashed collision, promptly changes emulation and becomes DVD player 1, and equal address 4 (as shown in Figure 2) with the logical address of broadcast mode announcement signal conversion equipment 30.At this moment, simulation unit 510 does not represent that promptly the logical address of institute's emulation does not clash collision with conventional device if receive any ack signal again, and this logical address is output to TV 20.
Please refer to Fig. 5, it illustrates the schematic diagram into a kind of chromacoder.Chromacoder 30, for example a CEC chromacoder can couple with the TV 20 and first computer 40 (1).Chromacoder 30 comprises microcontroller 310, and microcontroller 310 is in order to first logical address of emulation one a CEC device and obtain first physical address of first computer 40 (1).Microcontroller 310 output first logical addresses and first physical address make TV 20 confirm first address of computer 40 (1) in whole connection configuration to TV 20.
When audio-visual control signal S2 that microcontroller 310 receives that TV 20 sent, do you judge further promptly whether purpose logical address 1200 identical with first logical address of institute's emulation before? if purpose logical address 1200 is identical with first logical address of previous institute emulation, represent that promptly audio-visual control signal S2 is output to first computer 40 (1).Microcontroller 310 is according to the computer control signal S2 of performance data block 1300 outputs, and computer control signal S2 for example is keyboard signal or mouse signal.
Thus, the user only need use TV remote controller 10 can control first computer 40 (1), with work such as execution browsing page or document processing, and does not need to dispose extraly computer input units such as keyboard or mouse.Not only can avoid computer input units such as keyboard or mouse to take up room, more can reach the idea that promotes " is all multimedia equipments of may command with single TV remote controller " in recent years.
Aforesaid chromacoder 30 can be designed to be independent of outside the TV 20 or first computer 40 (1), also can flexibly be disposed among TV 20 or the computer 40.In addition, chromacoder 30 also can flexibly be integrated in various consumer electronic product, as display card, the audio-visual switch of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), signal converter or interface module (Dongle).
