Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an access control system, which includes an upper computer, such as a PC, and a multi-display controller system, in which upper computer software is installed. The multi-display controller system comprises a plurality of display controllers which are sequentially cascaded. The upper computer is connected with a first-stage display controller (display controller 1) in the cascaded display controllers in a wired Ethernet mode or a wireless network mode, and the subsequent display controllers at all stages are connected in the wired Ethernet mode or the wireless network mode. Here, the wired ethernet manner may be, for example, a connection through a network cable, for example, a connection through an RJ45 network cable; the wireless network mode may be, for example, a wireless network such as WIFI, bluetooth, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.
In the above access control system, the upper computer may be configured to complete enumeration of all the display controllers to perform access control on the plurality of display controllers. The upper computer and each display controller are connected by adopting a network (a wired Ethernet mode or a wireless network mode), so that the whole system architecture of the scheme is simpler, has high communication speed and good stability compared with the system architecture connected by the USB in the prior art.
For example, the upper computer may perform access control on the plurality of display controllers, for example, through respective IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of the plurality of display controllers, that is, in a case where the upper computer and the plurality of display controllers are connected through a network (whether a wired network or a wireless network), each display controller has its own IP address, so that the upper computer may perform specific access to each display controller directly through the IP address of the display controller. Optionally, the upper computer may further perform Group access control on the plurality of display controllers based on, for example, IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol), that is, the display controllers may be grouped based on the arrangement (for example, the positions of the display controllers) of the display controllers, for example, a certain three display controllers are taken as a Group, and the upper computer accesses the three display controllers through the Internet Management Protocol, so as to implement the Group access on the display controllers.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, since network connection is adopted, the upper computer can remotely access all the display controllers, and the system is suitable for large-batch data transmission and supports remote transmission control. Moreover, the display controller of the embodiment has flexible cascade sequencing, and is convenient for the upper computer to sequence and position the display controller.
It should be noted that the plurality of display controllers may be, for example, the same or different LED display controllers, and each of the LED display controllers is an LED video controller having a video processing function and a sending card function, or an LED display screen that is connected to an LED sending card supporting a 3D display function and is driven and controlled by a receiving card.
As shown in fig. 3, it is a schematic diagram of the system cascade access logic of the access control system shown in fig. 2. Specifically, access control can be performed on the display controllers in two ways through a network, one way is that a WEB browser based on a B/S architecture is used, an upper computer is used as an HTTP client and a plurality of display controllers are used as HTTP Server ends to realize the access control, wherein upper computer software is, for example, the WEB browser, each display controller has a WEB remote control function and runs a Server program, for example, an HTTP Server program, under the B/S architecture, a browser single window accesses and controls all cascaded display controllers 1-N, and browser windows of all cascaded display controllers are consistent; secondly, the upper computer software supports a TCP protocol, and the upper computer is used as a TCP Client (TCP Client) and each display controller is used as a TCP Server (for example, a TCP Server program is operated) to realize, wherein the upper computer software is, for example, LED display screen configuration software LCT and the like. Further, each display controller exchanges packets based on a MAC (media Access Control) address of the received packet. For example, when the display controller 1 receives an HTTP/TCP request message (that is, a TCP request message or an HTTP request message) sent by upper computer software, such as LED display screen configuration software LCT or a WEB browser, the display controller 1 may determine whether an MAC (Media Access Control) address of the HTTP/TCP request message is the device, and if the MAC address is not the device, the display controller 2 sends the HTTP/TCP request message to the upper computer software, and if the MAC address is the device, the HTTP/TCP response message is sent to the upper computer software (which will be described in detail below based on a specific structure of the display controller). For the subsequent display controllers 2 to N, after receiving the HTTP/TCP request message sent by the previous display controller, the same procedure is performed.
When the upper computer and each display control controller are connected through a wireless network, such as WIFI, bluetooth, or other wireless network connection, the network communication protocol based on which the communication is performed may also be other protocols such as Zigbee, and is not limited to TCP or HTTP protocols.
A multi-display controller system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 4. For illustrative purposes, fig. 4 only shows a connection schematic diagram of the nth level display controller and the (N +1) th level display controller in the multi-display controller system, where N is a positive integer. It should be noted that the number of the display controllers included in the multi-display controller system may be two, three or more, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in detail herein.
In the above, the nth level display controller and the (N +1) th level display controller are connected in a wired ethernet manner or a wireless network manner.
Specifically, the nth level display controller includes a first network switch chip (e.g., a switch chip) and a first communication interface and a second communication interface electrically connected to the first network switch chip, and the first communication interface is used for connecting an upper computer (e.g., a PC) or a previous level display controller (if the previous level display controller exists). The (N +1) th-level display controller comprises a second network switching chip, and a third communication interface and a fourth communication interface which are electrically connected with the second network switching chip, wherein the third communication interface is connected with the second communication interface in a wired Ethernet mode or a wireless network mode, and the fourth communication interface is used for being connected with the next-level display controller of the (N +1) th-level display controller in the wired Ethernet mode or the wireless network mode.
For example, the third communication interface and the fourth communication interface may be ethernet interfaces, respectively, such that the (N +1) th-level display controller is connected to the nth-level display controller and the next-level display controller via the ethernet interfaces in a wired ethernet manner. In this embodiment, a plurality of display controllers of the multi-display controller system may be connected to each other through a network cable or only through a wireless network; of course, some display controllers may be connected through a network cable, and other display controllers may be connected through a wireless network, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 4, the nth-level display controller further includes a first embedded processor, such as an arm (advanced RISC machines), electrically connected to the first network switch chip, for example, the first embedded processor may be connected to the first network switch chip through an MII (Media Independent Interface) or an RGMII (Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface), but the embodiment is not limited thereto. Similarly, as shown in fig. 4, the (N +1) -th-level display controller further includes a second embedded processor, such as an arm (advanced RISC machines), electrically connected to the second network switching chip.
In this way, the first network switch chip is configured to: receiving a data packet via one of the first communication interface and the second communication interface; analyzing the MAC address of the data packet to determine a target receiving device corresponding to the data packet; in response to the target receiving device being the nth level display controller, sending the data packet to the first embedded processor for the embedded processor to correspondingly process the data packet for sending to a module controller (e.g., a receiving card) electrically connected to the nth level display controller, or, in response to the target receiving device not being the nth level display controller, sending the data packet via the other of the first communication interface and the second communication interface. For example, when the nth level display controller receives a data packet from the first communication interface, the first network switch chip parses the MAC address of the data packet, and when the first network switch chip determines that the target receiving device of the data packet is the device, the data packet is forwarded to the first embedded processor, and when the first network switch chip determines that the target receiving device of the data packet is not the device, the data packet is sent to the (N +1) th level display controller through the second communication interface. The processing procedure after the (N +1) th-level display controller receives the data packet is similar to that of the nth-level display controller, and is not described herein again.
It should be noted that the first network switch chip is further configured to receive a data packet (e.g., a response data packet) from the first embedded processor electrically connected to the first network switch chip, perform MAC address analysis on the data packet to determine whether a target receiving device of the data packet is an upper computer or a previous-level display controller or an (N +1) -th-level display controller, and perform a forwarding process of the data packet via the first communication interface or the second communication interface according to the determined target receiving device.
In this embodiment, data exchange implemented by a network switching chip (e.g., the first embedded processor) of a display controller (e.g., the nth-level display controller) is hard exchange, and compared with a soft exchange used in a system architecture using a USB connection in the prior art, the data transmission delay of the embodiment of the present invention is low, and the communication stability is high, and the present invention is suitable for large-batch data transmission.
In summary, the foregoing embodiments of the present invention connect the host computer and the plurality of display controllers through the network, so that one or more of the following advantages can be achieved: the multi-display controller system comprises a plurality of display controllers which are sequentially cascaded, wherein the nth-level display controller and the (N +1) th-level display controller which are arranged in the plurality of display controllers are connected in a wired Ethernet mode or a wireless network mode, so that one or more of the following beneficial effects can be achieved: (1) the system architecture is simplified, and fewer cables are required; (2) the network connection mode of the multi-display controller system enables a host computer connected with the multi-display controller system to remotely access all the display controllers, and the multi-display controller system is suitable for large-batch data transmission; (3) network connection is adopted to support remote transmission control; (4) the display controller exchanges data based on the network exchange chip, and the data transmission delay is low; (5) the cascade sequencing is flexible, and the upper computer can conveniently position the display controller.
In addition, it should be understood that the foregoing embodiments are merely exemplary illustrations of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined and collocated without conflict between technical features and structural contradictions, which do not violate the purpose of the present invention.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
