Description of drawings
The discussion comprise each accompanying drawing is below described, the diagram that provides comprising embodiment embodiment by example of the present invention.Accompanying drawing is interpreted as example rather than restriction.
Fig. 1 shows the existing scheme synoptic diagram that content is provided to a plurality of displays.
Fig. 2 shows the synoptic diagram of the example embodiment of the system that utilizes single output player that content is provided to a plurality of displays.
Fig. 3 shows the synoptic diagram of the example embodiment of the system that utilizes a plurality of output players that content is provided to a plurality of displays.
Embodiment
Traditionally, the Digital ID system needs complicated wiring, a large amount of assembly and considerable space to provide content to a plurality of displays.Fig. 1 shows traditional content delivering system.Before, in order to show the content that changes at a plurality of displays, each display needs player and the transmitter of oneself.High the making us of this deployment cost and space requirement stepped back.
In having the Digital ID system applies of a plurality of displays, the some of them display can comprise static content and other comprise dynamic content, the content that can only have the whole displays of single player 10 (shown in Figure 2) control, by comparison be related oneself the player (shown in Figure 1) of each display.Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram of the example embodiment of single audio frequency video player 10 (hereinafter referred to as " the player ") system that is used to upgrade a plurality of displays 22,24,26 and 28.As shown in Figure 2, player 10 can be communicated by letter with transmitter 12.Transmitter 12 can also use hardwire (as CAT-5 cable or other any suitable circuits) or wireless connections and a plurality of receiver 14,16,18 to communicate by letter with 20.
Each receiver 14,16,18 and 20 can also be respectively communicated by letter with 28 with their displays 22,24,26 separately.By distributing different demonstration identifiers to each display, display 22,24,26 and 28 visit that can be addressed separately.As an alternative, display can be related with a plurality of identifiers.Although shown have 14,16,18 and 20 and four displays 22,24,26 and 28 of four receivers, display and receiver by the similar fashion any amount can be connected to transmitter 12.
In order to use single player 10 to provide content to a plurality of displays 22,24,26 and 28, player 10 provides the video (being audio frequency sometimes) that will be shown content.Player 10 can only provide static video (rest image), the only mixing of dynamic video or two types of videos.System will also can only show one type or another kind of although should be easy to recognize example system in conjunction with the line description that is mixed into of two types of videos.
Usually dynamic video is exported with specific frame per second, and this depends on video source, the bandwidth of system, and the electronic console that shows.For example, for the video of 30fps, per second provides 30 frames (image).According to concrete setting, player 10 or transmitter 12 can be divided into the dynamic video signal each frame, compress then each frame (for some systems may not need the compression---depend on the bandwidth and the size of video data).CPU (central processing unit) (CPU) can be used to carry out these functions, and CPU can be independent unit or be structured in player 10 or send in 12.For compression method, JPEG, MPEG or JPEG2000 are the common format that is used for frame/compression of images, although also can use the compression of other types.
Player 10 or transmitter 12 can be with the related headers of each frame.Header can comprise various bit informations, comprises decompressed frame and to the instruction of its reorganization.In addition, player 10 or transmitter 12 can be encoded to one or more demonstration identifiers in the head of each frame.Which image will be demonstration identifier which display of indication mechanism thus will show.Frame and head can be collectively referred to as " packet (packet) ".
Transmitter 12 can broadcast the data packet to each receiver 14,16,18 and 20 subsequently.In case receive packet, the information that receiver 14,16,18 and 20 comprises in can read head.If one in display 22,24,26 that demonstration identifier and receiver in the head 14,16,18 and 20 are related and 28 the identifier is complementary, receiver can decompressed data bag (if desired) and is sent images to the display that is associated so.
Do not match with the demonstration identifier of the display that is associated if show identifier, then display frame on display 22,24,26 and 28 not.The image information that each receiver 14,16,18 and 20 will receive before will continuing to send has the new data packets that coupling shows identifier up to receiving.In order to realize this function, receiver 14,16,18 and 20 or display 22,24,26 and 28 can have storage medium to keep last match video frame.In this way, can in a frame still image be sent to particular display (or a plurality of display), this image can be retained on the selected display (or a plurality of demonstration), up to sending another image.For example in advertisement display, still image can keep preset time (30 seconds, 60 seconds etc.) on display, and company can pay advertising company's expense of the time quantum that shows of their advertisement just.To the purpose (that is, airport terminal, motion race ratio grade) that is used for information, display is changed (that is, the airport is late/new order of classes or grades at school or score change) time and can upgrades with new still image in any display message.Thus, by sending out the system of many packets/frame at per second, being easy to see can be by a plurality of display of single position control.
Video buffer (storage medium) and each receiver and/or display telecommunication can be provided.Some video buffers can be stored the multitude of video data and be used for showing.Use the embodiment of the system with video buffer herein to guarantee, if interrupt to the signal transmission of display receiver, dynamic video will show continuously.
As mentioned above, may wish at least one of display 22,24,26 and 28, to show dynamic video rather than still image.In order to realize this, the head of each dynamic video packet all will comprise the demonstration identifier of the display that is used to show this dynamic video.All the other displays that show static content can receive updated images by replacing a frame dynamic video with a frame still image.Say that in another way if transmit dynamic video with per second 30 frames, in order to change still image on particular display, player 10 provides 29 frame dynamic videos and 1 frame still image in will be in one second.When still image upgrades transmission, show that the display of dynamic video will repeat frame before simply.The observer is difficult to note that (if can notice) is to lacking the new frame of dynamic video.This is correct especially for high frame per second (surpassing 30fps).Mentioned just that as above frame before will be repeated, therefore will not have " blank screen " or " flicker " to be noted.By during dynamic video pause or dynamic video fragment, upgrading the interruption that still image can further reduce dynamic video in image little motion or change.In these cases, near frame nearly all is consistent, and the frame before therefore repeating more not observed person is noticed.
Different embodiment can be with different rate sending data bags.Therefore, the embodiment that shows dynamic video at least one display can send packet (depending on frame per second, for example the packet of per second 30,60 or more/still less) relatively continually.The embodiment that only shows static video can not send packet (for example, per 30 seconds, 60 seconds or more time packet) relatively continually.In addition, some embodiment can show dynamic video in a period of time, and one section only shows static video subsequently.This will especially can occur in ad system, and there is the dynamic video advertisement in some of them company and other have static video ads.In these systems, will interiorly if having time occur, per second 30 secondary data bags send, and only packet of per minute sends afterwards.
Fig. 3 shows the chart of another embodiment of system, and the single audio frequency video player 40 that wherein has two outputs is used for a plurality of displays 22,24,26 and 28 of the combination of update displayed dynamic video and still image.Once more, player 40 can be communicated by letter with transmitter 12, and transmitter 12 can also be communicated by letter with 20 with a plurality of receiver 14,16,18.Player 40 is broadcast to the transmitter 12 output dynamic videos of at least one display, also exports second data broadcast of other displays that are used for the update displayed still image simultaneously.In being provided with of these types, dynamic video can be stable video flowing, and this " acquiescence " that can be used as most displays is provided with, and still image can send the covering as the acquiescence dynamic video.At television broadcasting and accidental still image quite as one man and deposit in the situation of use and can use these embodiment.For example, bar or restaurant may wish to show in the duration (most probable is at night when the welcome program of motion race or other shows) and televise.But at other times, it is the still image (for example on the date of not broadcasting welcome program) of purpose that display ads or menu board or special item may be selected by bar or restaurant.To these embodiment, being provided with of Fig. 3 may be more favourable, because it may not need each frame of dynamic video to show identifier coding (compressing sometimes).On the contrary, can give tacit consent to the transmission steady flow, and be inserted into the dynamic video of the static image data coating lid acquiescence of the chance in this stream.Therefore, these embodiment can need player and the littler processing speed/power of transmitter, thereby can use more cheap equipment.And, can more easily send dynamic video with unpressed form, thereby prevent any undesirable because the non-natural sign that may occur when being compressed with.
Being used to upgrade all the other displays 22,24,26 can encode by above-mentioned identical mode with 28 static video output.Yet if dynamic video stream is used as acquiescence, the static packet that covers can adopt several forms.First kind of form is to send to be defined as data presented bag (up to sending another static packet or getting back to the director data bag that shows dynamic video up to having sent indication display) in indefinite duration.Second kind of form is in static data packet header instruction to be set, and indicates still image in detail and how long will show (up to being returned to the dynamic video default situations).Certainly, the embodiment that describes about Fig. 3 can also comprise two independent players (is used for dynamic video, and another is used for still image), rather than has single player of two outputs.
The transmitter 12 and the electrical connection between the receiver of each display can be hardwire or wireless connections.If use wireless connections, wireless router can send packet to each receiver, this forms very simple and clean and tidy installation.If use hardwire to connect, still need actual circuit to connect to receiver from transmitter 12.In comprising the facility of a lot of displays, particularly display is away from the situation of transmitter 12, and installation cost and wiring self will be very expensive.Therefore, can use daisy chain (daisy-chain) technology.Utilize this technology, receiver can " daisy chain " together, the company's of noting be used in wiring on whole circuits of transmitter thereby each display only needs from the proximity displays wiring.For realizing this, can use serializer/deserializer (SerDes) technology (serializer/de-serializer (SerDes) technique).Signal rises for having the parallel block of clock, and serial before being sent by transmitter 12.Serial signal sends to receiver subsequently, walks abreast at this, recovers initial parallel data and clock.Using clock to remove circuit afterwards removes signal jitter and drives the associated display of receiver.Then, once more with the signal serialization and send to next receiver in the daisy chain.This technology can be used for many display strings will be taken back former transmitter 12 by each bar line together and not.Although can use a lot of dissimilar cables (wiring), CAT 5 is not expensive and can be used in the example embodiment.This method can be compressed or unpressed video is implemented.
Those skilled in the art can also use embodiments herein to be used for sending voice data with video data.It will be favourable sending two packets of audio data with each video packets of data.For example, if send dynamic video, comprise that with the video packets of data of 30Hz the packets of audio data of two 60Hz will be favourable with 30fps (30Hz).
The embodiment of Jie Shiing not is intention limit or unnecessary limiting the scope of the invention herein.Embodiment is through selecting and being described to explain that thereby other those skilled in the art of principle of the present invention can implement the present invention.Illustrated and described embodiment, those skilled in the art will have the ability to substitute or revise, for example by replacing material or structural arrangement of equal value, or by using treatment step of equal value, do not depart from the spirit of claims reaction implementing the present invention, its text and teaching are in this combination by reference.Therefore, only the scope of claim and full scope of equivalents thereof are intended to limit the present invention.
