In display system 10a, display device 12a includes a receiver 16, a code translator 18, a remote control processing module 20a, an input interface 34, a display process module 36, a space of a whole page register 38, a display unit 40 and an output interface 50.Remote control processing module 20a is provided with a coordinate counter 22a, a figure generation unit 24, is ordered comparative device 26, an indicating module 28 and a transmission generator 30.Coordinate counter 22a in the remote control processing module 20 couples receiver 16 with order comparative device 26 via code translator 18, also couples indicating module 28; Indicating module 28 couples transmission generator 30, is coupled to transmitter 32a again.38 of space of a whole page registers couple the coordinate counter 22a of remote control processing module 20a, are coupled to figure generation unit 24 again.Display unit 40 couples input interface 50 via display process module 36, also couples the figure generation unit 24 of remote control processing module 20a.
Telepilot 14a then is provided with a transmitter 42a, a transmission generator 44a, an order generator 46a and a coordinate generator 48; Order generator 46a and coordinate generator 48 couple transmission generator 44a, are coupled to transmitter 42a again.
In display device 12a, input interface 34 couples the peripheral unit PD1 and the PD2 in news source, with receiving media signal Sm1 and Sm2.36 of display process modules couple input interface 34 and display unit 40; The media signal that display process module 36 can be received to input interface 34 carry out rectification/data answer, decoding, decompression and/or various signal Processing, so that the image that carries in the media signal is taken out, and is shown in display unit 40.Display unit 40 can comprise a display panel and relevant controlling and driving mechanism.Moreover, then can be coupled to output interface 50 by the peripheral unit PD3 of display device 12a reception signal; The result that display process module 36 is carried out signal Processing can be output as media signal Sm3 by output interface 50, and transfers to peripheral unit PD3.
In display system 10a of the present invention, realize that with display device 12a collocation telepilot 14a the situation of universal remote control and user's interface thereof can be described below.In telepilot 14a, coordinate generator 48 can be accepted user's control so that a coordinate information to be provided; The order generator 46a then provide a corresponding command information under user's control.For example say that coordinate generator 48 can be accepted user's control via button, contact panel and/or the rotating disk of telepilot 14a with order generator 46a, according to user's control corresponding coordinate information and command information to be provided.Transmission generator 44a can provide the remote signal Sr0 of an electronics according to coordinate information and command information and to transmitter 42a; For example say that transmission generator 44a can encode coordinate information and command information/be packaged among the remote signal Sr0.Transmitter 42a then can be remote signal Sr1 and launch remote signal Sr0 conversion/modulation; For example say that remote signal Sr1 can be the remote signal of an infrared ray or RF radio.
In display device 12a, receiver 16 can receive remote signal Sr1, and its demodulation/counter-rotating is changed to the remote signal Sr2 of electronics.Decoder 18 is by its coordinate information that carries and command information of decapsulation among the remote signal Sr2/decode.Build a plurality of preset guidance commands in the order comparative device 26, and can the command information among the remote signal Sr2 and these preset guidance commands be compared.These guidance commands can be the guidance commands of display device 12a itself, also can further contain the receptible guidance command of each peripheral unit PD1 to PD4; In other words, each guidance command can correspond to one of them of display device 12a itself or each peripheral unit.
Find the command information of remote signal Sr2 when 26 comparisons of order comparative device and meet a certain guidance command that conforms in the preset guidance command; If this guidance command that conforms to is the guidance command of display device 12a itself, display device 12a just can carry out corresponding running according to this guidance command that conforms to.On the other hand, what guidance command was corresponding if this conforms to is a certain peripheral unit, and indicating module 28 will provide transmission signals St0 according to the guidance command that conforms to, and for example says so this guidance command that conforms to is carried among the transmission signals St0.Transmission generator 30 can be with the transmission signals St0 transmission signals St1 that encodes/be encapsulated as, and transmitter 32a is transmission signals St2 with transmission signals St1 conversion/modulation then, and transmission signals St2 is launched.
In the embodiment in figure 1, transmitter 32a can realize a signal transmission interface between display device 12a and each peripheral unit PD1 to PD4.For example say that transmitter 32a can be an infrared ray or radio-signal transmitter, infrared ray/wireless transmission signals St2 is emitted to each peripheral unit.So, just can receive guidance command with the corresponding peripheral unit of the guidance command among the transmission signals Sr2, and the controlled running of carrying out correspondence.And for example, transmitter 32a can transfer to each peripheral unit with transmission signals St2 via a wired or wireless network, makes corresponding peripheral unit can receive the guidance command among the transmission signals St2.In this network, display device 12a and each peripheral unit can use starlike topology (star topology) or daisy refining topology (daisy chain topology) to be connected to a network.To transmitter 32a, display device 12a can both receive corresponding guidance command with each peripheral unit PD1 to PD4, realizes universal remote control via the receiver 16 of the transmitter 42a of telepilot 14a and display device 12a.
For abundanter friendly universal remote control user interface is provided; Remote control processing module 36 can also provide the various remote control spaces of a whole page; With the dedicated remote control of each peripheral unit of graphical simulation (with display device 12a itself), the straighforward operation idea and the intuition that let the user can continue to use dedicated remote control are carried out universal remote control.Space of a whole page register 38 among the display device 12a promptly is used for storage/record one remote control space of a whole page ML.According to the remote control space of a whole page ML that space of a whole page register 38 provides, figure generation unit 24 produces the graph of a correspondence image, and gives the user by display unit 40 demonstrations; What the picture 100 among Fig. 1 was illustrated is exactly the image that display unit 40 is shown.Remote control space of a whole page ML has coordinate configuration, comprises one or more coordinate zone, each corresponding one or more guidance command in coordinate zone, and each guidance command is associated to a certain peripheral unit (or display device 12a itself).On the picture that display unit 40 appears, different positions can be endowed different coordinates, and each coordinate zone is with regard to a zone on the corresponding picture.
For example say, comprise in the remote control space of a whole page ML that N1 coordinate zone Z (1,1) is to Z (1; N1), be made for the superiors' Remote Control Interface, each coordinate zone Z (1 into many peripheral units PD1 to PDN; 1) to Z (1, the N) selector button of corresponding different peripheral units respectively, for example; Press Z (1,1) and can open peripheral unit PD1.Open after the PD1, then, get into second layer remote control space of a whole page ML, with thinking that peripheral unit PD1 (like a DVD projector) simulates the key position configuration and identification prompting of its dedicated remote control; Each coordinate zone Z (1,1) to Z (1, N1) can distinguish a button (or the mechanism that can supply control) on the corresponding dedicated remote control.Therefore, (1, the guidance command CMD (1) that N1) also can receive with regard to corresponding peripheral unit PD1 is to CMD (X1) to Z for each coordinate zone Z (1,1).For example, guidance command CMD (1) can be a power-off, and guidance command CMD (X1) can be fast commentaries on classics.And when remote control space of a whole page ML was shown in picture 100, each coordinate zone just can be shown as the figure of corresponding button.For example say that the figure B1 of button is corresponding to coordinate zone Z (1,1), and coordinate zone Z (1, N1) then corresponding figure B2, by that analogy.In like manner, the dedicated remote control of corresponding peripheral unit PD2 (like box on the machine), remote control space of a whole page ML also can comprise N2 coordinate zone Z (2,1) (2, N2), the guidance command CMD (1) of corresponding peripheral unit PD2 is to CMD (X2) respectively to Z.Will be understood that in another embodiment, display device also can only have the remote control space of a whole page of simple layer.
See through user's interface that the remote control space of a whole page is realized, the situation that the user utilizes telepilot 14a to carry out universal remote control can be described below.Guide according to display unit 40 picture displayed, the coordinate generator 48 of user's remote controllers 14a produces coordinate information, the position on the corresponding picture; Coordinate information transfers to coordinate counter 22a via remote signal Sr0, Sr1 and carrying of Sr2, and coordinate counter 22a can see through figure generation unit 24 lets the user learn the correspondence position of this coordinate information in picture 100 with display unit 40.For example, figure generation unit 24 can provide the figure of a cursor on the correspondence position of coordinate information, is shown by display unit 40 and gives the user.Perhaps; Each coordinate zone to each remote control space of a whole page; Coordinate counter 22a can calculate and the immediate coordinate of coordinate information correspondence position zone; And coordinate information is updated in this coordinate zone, and figure generation unit 24 can with brightly show, mode such as dynamic image highlights this coordinate zone graph of a correspondence.
The coordinate counter 22a of display device can compare the coordinate zone of user's coordinate information and each remote control space of a whole page.Meet a certain coordinate zone that conforms to when coordinate counter 22a compares out coordinate information, represent user's desire to trigger this coordinate area relative guidance command that conforms to.If the corresponding peripheral unit of this telecommand, indicating module 28 just can provide transmission signals St1 according to the corresponding guidance command in coordinate zone that conforms to, so that guidance command is carried among the transmission signals St1.Then, the transmitter 32a of display device just can send transmission signals St2 to each peripheral unit according to transmission signals St1, and it is controlled that corresponding peripheral unit is able to, and realizes universal remote control.
In other words, via telepilot 14a, the user can freely be switched in that each coordinate of remote control space of a whole page ML is interregional, respectively the different peripheral units of remote control.Because remote control space of a whole page ML can follow the key position configuration and identification prompting of dedicated remote control, the user need not yield to the key position configuration and identification prompting of telepilot 14a.Because it is all abundanter more than telepilot 14a that the Presentation Function of display device 12a and software and hardware operate resource, the present invention realizes existing function and resource that the part function of universal remote control (like user's interface) is used display device 12a instead.Because the telepilot end need not realized user's interface, so the present invention can simplify the structure of telepilot 14a, reduces its cost.And display device 12a can also further promote the function of universal remote control, and more horn of plenty is polynary to make it, also more meets user's customized demand.
For example, the user can strengthen the weak point of dedicated remote control on the remote control space of a whole page.For example say; If the user thinks that a certain button of dedicated remote control is comparatively commonly used, the user can order its corresponding coordinate zone and graphic picture certainly, with the identification indication (like change color and literal/symbol) of its increase and/or change figure; Make it more obvious, be touched more easily.Relatively, be of little use or unwanted button then can be by removing on the remote control space of a whole page.The user also can further make the remote control space of a whole page that the multimedia audio-visual feedback of controlling can be provided each coordinate zone association to the various corresponding sound effect of the remote control space of a whole page.
By remote control space of a whole page ML,, also can the guidance command of different peripheral units (with display device 12a) be concentrated except dedicated remote control that can each peripheral unit of emulation.For example; The user can concentrate among the remote control space of a whole page ML by the required guidance command that carries out when viewing and admiring film; Its coordinate zone Z (n, 1) is associated to a certain guidance command CMD (Xn1) (like electric power starting) of peripheral unit PD4 (like a cold air), with another coordinate zone Z (n; 2) be associated to the guidance command CMD (Xn2) of another peripheral unit PD1, by that analogy.
Shown in picture 100, remote control space of a whole page ML can be shown in same picture with the image merging that display process module 36 provides.If when the user had not carried out any remote control for some time, remote control processing module 20a can hide the figure of remote control space of a whole page ML automatically, shows the figure of remote control space of a whole page ML when waiting user to carry out remote control once again more again.The graphics transparency of remote control space of a whole page ML also can be adjusted by the user.
In another embodiment, picture possibly show that the figure and picture of a plurality of remote control space of a whole page ML (n) is made for the remote control space of a whole page of different device, and the user is also available to come each corresponding function (guidance command) in coordinate zone of brief description from letter symbol of ordering and/or figure.In other words, the self-making remote control space of a whole page just is similar to grand, lets the user can the guidance command commonly used of different peripheral units be concentrated arrangement, makes things convenient for access.
In the embodiment in figure 1, the user carries out universal remote control via telepilot 14a, sends remote signal Sr1 by the transmitter 42a of telepilot 14a; 16 of the receivers of display device 12a and transmitter 42a arrange in pairs or groups, and remote signal Sr1 are received as the remote signal Sr2 of electronics.Among another embodiment; Receiver 16 can comprise a panadaptor (as an optical inductor or an image video camera or); Directly the motion characteristic acquisition with the user is coordinate information and/or command information among the remote signal Sr2, lets the user be able to use gesture and/or moves and carry out universal remote control.In this kind embodiment, just no longer need the telepilot 14a of entity, the user can use the gesture of itself and/or the function of action realization one virtual remote control device.And/or, receiver can comprise a sound receiver (like a microphone), the acquisition characteristic is as coordinate information and/or command information, to realize the general controls of acoustic control in the sound that is sent by the user (sound that bounces like voice or palm or the like).
In like manner, coordinate generator 48 in telepilot 14a and/or order generator 46a also can accept user's action, gesture, sound control via panadaptor and/or sound receiver, to produce corresponding coordinate information and/or command information.In some applications, display device 12a maybe be far away with user's distance, and entity telepilot 14a then can be placed near the user, captures user's action, gesture and/or sound nearby.
Please refer to Fig. 2, that it is illustrated is the display system 10b according to another embodiment of the present invention.In display system 10b, the user can carry out universal remote control to a display device 12b and each peripheral unit (like PD1 to PD4) via a telepilot 14b.Be similar to Fig. 1 display device 10a, the 2nd map display device 10b is provided with a receiver 16, a code translator 18, a space of a whole page register 38, a display unit 40, a remote control processing module 20b, a transmitter 32b, a display process module 36, an input interface 34 and an output interface 50.Be provided with a coordinate counter 22b, a figure generation unit 24, an indicating module 28 and a transmission generator 30 among the remote control processing module 20b.One order generator 46b, a coordinate generator 48, a receiver 52 and a controller 54 then are set among the telepilot 14b.Be provided with a transmission generator 44b and a register 32b in the controller 54; Transmission generator 44b couples order generator 46b, transmission generator 44b and register 56, and 56 of registers couple receiver 52.
The situation of display system 10b running can be described below.Space of a whole page register 38 and figure generation unit 24 provide user's interface of universal remote control, the for example picture among Fig. 1 100; The user utilizes telepilot 14b to carry out universal remote control with reference to user's interface.For example, the user can be via the contact panel of telepilot, direction control button and/or rotating disk (not shown) make coordinate generator 48 that corresponding coordinate information is provided according to this up and down.Order generator 46b builds the guidance command of various processing modules capable of remote control displaying 36 and remote control processing module 20b in then; For example say, each guidance command each button on can corresponding telepilot 14b, when the user held up by certain button, the order generator 46b provided a command information according to the corresponding guidance command of this button.Transmit generator 44b can coordinate information and command information encoded/encapsulated/be carried among the electronic telecontrol signal Sr0, transmitter 42b then carries out necessary conversion/modulation to remote signal Sr0, so that remote signal Sr0 is emitted as remote signal Sr1.Remote signal Sr1 can be the remote signal of infrared ray or RF radio.
