Accompanying drawing explanation
By following only exemplarily and description of writing by reference to the accompanying drawings, for one, this area technician, example embodiment of the present invention will better be understood and more obvious, in accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 shows according to the structural representation that directly can print the HMI product of picture of the present invention;
Fig. 2 shows the method that directly can print picture according to HMI product of the present invention.
Embodiment
Design philosophy of the present invention is printed directly undistorted on connected printer for picture corresponding with specific format data on HMI product screen by pictbridge agreement.
In computer industry standard, dominated greatly digital photograph scheme (the Digital Photo Solutions for ImagingDevices of the image documentation equipment formed about 2003 by camera and audio and video products association (CIPA), be called for short PictBridge) be the consensus standard of digital photographing apparatus and printer communication, widely adopt by the printer of various brand.PictBridge defines and transport layer independently Applied layer interface.When data file stores according to common image file format, by using PictBridge agreement, do not need the particular device being connected to such as PC, only by a signal wire digital equipment that meets the such as digital camera of PictBridge standard is connected on the printer meeting PictBridge standard, user just can easily use their digital equipment to control print setting, and the picture of outputting high quality.
By using the pictbridge agreement in computer industry field, can be connected with the printer of all pictbridge compatibilities for the HMI product in automation field according to of the present invention; Only need the common USB cable of use one or network service to connect and just can connect HMI product and printer; The picture printed is identical with image seen corresponding with specific format data on HMI product screen.Namely, as when " when being saved the picture format of the 4:3 got off when the on-screen data that a screen proportion is the HMI product of 4:3 " as described in background parts, the picture of the 4:3 preserved can image on the printer only supporting 3:2 to print picture completely corresponding to display data after the process of format conversion device 20.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing describe in detail according to the embodiment of the present invention HMI product and method.
Fig. 1 shows according to the structural representation that directly can print the HMI product 100 of picture of the present invention.
In the HMI product structure of Fig. 1, illustrate only and conceive relevant parts to the present invention, eliminate other structure members may obscuring HMI product of the present invention.
The HMI product 100 that directly can print picture according to the present invention comprises HMI control module 10, format converter 20 and storer 30.HMI control module 10, format converter 20 and storer 30 are arranged in the Back-Side Module of HMI product 100.
The all parts of HMI control module 10 control HMI product 100 realizes corresponding control action.Storer 30 just obtains and stores the data of the content that the screen about HMI product shows in the specific format under the control of HMI control module 10.Format converter 20 is according to the print command received from HMI control module 10, the data of the content that the screen of the relevant HMI product stored in the specific format in storer 30 shows are converted to conventional image file format, such as * .JPG, * .JPEG, * .BMP etc., and the data of the image file format after conversion are sent to the printer 40 of pictbridge compatibility by USB cable or wire/radio network, the printer 40 of pictbridge compatibility directly prints the picture of the content that the screen about HMI product shows.
HMI product generally includes USB port and the such as wire/radio network interface of such as Mini-B type, Micro Type B, Type Type B, Type A type.And adopt the printer of general print protocol to use the USB Type A port of HMI product.Pictbridge agreement supports usb protocol to transmit and procotol transmission usually.Therefore, the printer 40 of described pictbridge compatibility can be connected to HMI product by Type B USB port, or be connected on HMI product by wire/radio network interface.
Shown in Fig. 1, utilize Type B USB port to be connected to the printer 40 of pictbridge compatibility by USB cable according to HMI product of the present invention 100.Certainly, also can be connected by network service and be connected to the printer 40 of pictbridge compatibility.
Fig. 2 shows the method that directly can print picture according to HMI product of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 2, in step 1, under the control of HMI control module 10, obtain the data of the content that the screen of relevant HMI product in the specific format shows, and above-mentioned data are stored in memory.
In step 2, according to the print command received from HMI control module 10, the data of the content that the screen of the relevant HMI product stored in the specific format in storer 30 shows are converted to conventional image file format by format converter 20, and the data of the image file format after conversion are sent to the printer of pictbridge compatibility by USB cable or network service.
In step 3, the printer of pictbridge compatibility directly prints the picture of the content that the screen about HMI product shows.
Due to connected by USB cable or network service HMI product of the present invention be connected to meet PictBridge standard printer on, user just can easily use the HMI control module of HMI product to control print setting, and the picture of outputting high quality, such as print the picture corresponding with the content on the screen being presented at HMI product, two or plurality of pictures is selected to print by the screen of HMI product, print the index pieces of a whole picture, print whole picture, the local of picture is printed by setting print area, print a pictures many parts copy, picture prints the date of monitor record, accurate breadth that setting prints etc.The status information of some printers can also be presented at the screen of HMI product, comprise: connect set up, misprint, printing progress, print out task complete, signal wire can disconnect etc. safely.
Have employed the pictbridge agreement in computer industry field the HMI product that directly can print picture without distortion according to of the present invention and method innovation, thus setting of printing time and the cost of user can be saved, and make print form rich and varied, make the technician developing HMI product without the need to considering how to support the printer of the multiple print protocol of the employing of different company simultaneously.
Although as described herein above example embodiment, understanding can have been carried out various amendment, replacement and/or change.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that can carry out other to specific embodiment changes and/or amendment, and do not depart from the spirit or scope of the present invention as broadly described.Therefore, which point all the present embodiment to be thought illustrative and not restrictive from.
