With reference to Fig. 4, data band DB1 is 8 packet information.Least significant bit (LSB) " bit 0 " instruction of data band DB1 is about the information of PSR state.First " bit 1 " instruction of data band DB1 is about the information of whether upgrading RFB202.Second " bit 2 " the instruction Cyclic Redundancy Check value of data band DB1, whether the pixel data DB7 to DB2 of instruction one frame has mistake.All the other positions " bit 7:3 " of data band DB1 are preserved for application in the future, and can be set as " 0 ".
In the time that present frame has upgraded, " bit 0 " is " 0 ", and PSR operation becomes and do not activate.In other words, the SoC of Fig. 1 sends the view data of present frame together with this packet information to display device 200, and display device 200 is selected the renewal data routing 206a of Fig. 1 based on this packet information.Display device 200 sends the view data of present frame to display panel 250.But in the time that data band DB1 " bit 0 " is " 1 ", PSR operation becomes activation, and display driver 200 operates under PSR pattern.In the time that first " bit 1 " is " 0 ", the view data that is stored in the previous frame in RFB202 is remained to original state.But, in the time that data band DB1 first " bit 1 " is " 1 ", the view data of the present frame that RFB202 storage receives from SoC10 by receiver 201.
Fig. 5 is the block diagram of the renewal detecting device 300 of Fig. 2.In Fig. 5, upgrading detecting device 300 can the data based on previous frame F (t) determine whether to have upgraded current frame data F (t+1).Alternatively, the data of upgrading the corresponding region that detecting device 300 can be based on previous frame F (t) have determined whether to upgrade the data of the presumptive area of present frame F (t+1).In other words, can for the presumptive area of whole frame or this frame carry out described determine.
Upgrade the data that detecting device 300 can receive present frame F (t+1), and in response to clock signal C lock, reset signal Reset, vertical synchronizing signal VSYNC, horizontal-drive signal HSYNC and video data enable signal VDEN, check by mistake in using whether algorithm inspection has pair renewal of present frame F (t+1).Carry out about how mistake in using with reference to Fig. 6 and 7 and check that algorithm determines the further explanation of this renewal.Alternatively, upgrade the view data that detecting device 300 can receive presumptive area in present frame F (t+1), and in response to clock signal C lock, reset signal Reset, vertical synchronizing signal VSYNC, horizontal-drive signal HSYNC and video data enable signal (" VDEN "), check that by mistake in using algorithm determines whether the renewal to described view data.
Upgrade detecting device 300 and can execution error check that algorithm is to determine this renewal.Bug check algorithm can comprise parity arithmetic, inspection and algorithm, Cyclic Redundancy Check algorithm, secure hash algorithm (sha) or Hamming code algorithm.The output OUT_1 to OUT_n that upgrades detecting device 300 can depend on the bug check algorithm of use.
Fig. 6 is the block diagram that uses the example embodiment 301 of the renewal detecting device 300 of Fig. 5 of CRC algorithm.Fig. 7 is the block diagram of the example embodiment 302 of the renewal detecting device 300 of Fig. 5.In Fig. 6, the CRC algorithm can config update detecting device 301 whether upgrading with the data that realize for determining present frame F (t+1).Upgrade detecting device 301 and determine that by the data based on previous frame F (t) data of present frame F (t+1) have mistake and detect renewal.
Particularly, can represent with the P (x) with N position the data of present frame F (t+1).Can determine from the data of previous frame F (t) the divisor G (x) of CRC.The divisor G (x) of CRC can comprise (k+1) position.Can use x kbe multiplied by data P (x), then use the divisor G (x) of CRC divided by data P (x).As a result, data P (x) can use Q (x) and R (x) to represent, wherein Q (x) is business, and R (x) is remainder, as shown in formula (1):
P(x)*x k+R(x)=G(x)*Q(X) (1)
For example, the divisor of CRC can be the polynomial expression with coefficient 1011 such as formula (2):
G(x)=1*x 3+0*x 2+1*x 1+1*x 0 (2)
Upgrading detecting device 301 can be from the divisor G (x) of the data acquisition CRC of previous frame F (t), with in the time receiving the data of present frame F (t+1) by having determined whether renewal with CRC based on remainder R (x).
In other words,, in the time having upgraded present frame F (t+1), because remainder R (x) equals 0, so detecting the data of present frame F (t+1), renewal detecting device 301 there is no mistake.Remainder R (x) is represented by the output OUT1 to OUT16 that upgrades detecting device 301.In the time having upgraded present frame F (t+1), because remainder R (x) is not equal to 0, so renewal detecting device 301 detects the mistake of present frame F (t+1).
In Fig. 6, in the time that the data of previous frame F (t) are 24 rgb pixel data, realize the divisor of the CRC of 16.In these 16 CRC, as formula 3 defines G (x):
G(x)=x 16+x 15+x 2+1 (3)
Particularly, realize the division operation of the CRC algorithm of the divisor G (x) that uses 16 CRC by linear feedback shift register 321.This shift register 321 comprises 16 kinds of states from 16 stages of first stage to the.This shift register 321 operates in response to clock signal C lock.Logical circuit 311,312 and 313 is carried out additive operation to realize the polynomial equation of formula (3).As a result, the remainder R (x) of formula (1) is represented by the output OUT1 to OUT16 of shift register 321.This remainder R (x) represents whether the data based on previous frame F (t) have pair renewal of the data of present frame F (t+1).
Upgrading detecting device 301 is linear feedback shift registers, and wherein in response to clock signal C lock, the data of present frame F (t+1) or P (x) stand division operation by turn.But the present invention's design is not limited to this embodiment.Can realize and upgrade detecting device 301 by parallel feedback shift register or various other embodiment.In the above-described embodiments, upgrade the divisor of 16 CRC of detecting device 310 use and carry out division operation, but the present invention's design is not limited to this.This detecting device 301 can use the divisor of the CRC of 8,10,24 or 32.
Fig. 7 is the block diagram of the example embodiment 302 of the renewal detecting device 300 shown in Fig. 5.In Fig. 7, upgrade detecting device 302 by using SHA function to determine that whether the data of present frame F (t+1) occur password mistake with respect to the data of previous frame F (t), check renewal.SHA function is the set of associated cryptographic hash function.
In the time of input 32 intermediateness A, B, C, D and E, this SHA function is exported from using changing nonlinear function F, constant K tand W t(representing with 7c), <<< ncomputing 7b(, to anticlockwise " n " position) and use 2 32the addition 7a of module encrypts external status A', B', C', D' and the E' that this input obtains.
In current embodiment, suppose 32 inputs, but the present invention's design is not limited to this, and comprises the every kind of situation that can be used for SHA function.Those skilled in the art will easily understand the details of SHA function.Thereby, will omit its detailed description.
