In some embodiments, the display device may be connected to the external device 500 so as to receive the related data transmitted by the external device 500. The display device may be connected to the external device 500 through an external device interface, and the external device 500 may be a computer host, a game device, a television box, an audio device, an image collector, or the like. In this embodiment, the connection of the display device and the external device 500 refers to establishing a communication connection, and the display device and the external device 500 establishing the communication connection are respectively used as a receiving end (Sink end) and a sending end (source end). The external device 500 may perform a data transmission process through the external device interface and the display device, and transmit media data and the like to the display device. For example, during the use of a game device by a user, it is possible to output video data and audio data in real time for the game process and transmit the video data and audio data to a display device to output the video data and audio data as video pictures and sounds through the display device. At this time, the game device serves as a transmitting side, and the display device serves as a receiving side.
The transmitting end and the receiving end can realize communication connection through a specific interface, so that data can be transmitted. For this purpose, data interfaces with the same interface specification and function should be provided on both the transmitting side and the receiving side. Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the connection of the display device and the external device 500 in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 5, both the display device and the external device 500 are provided with an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). In the using process, a user can insert two ends of the HDMI interface data line into the display device and the external device 500 respectively, and after the external device 500 and the display device are started, set the signal source of the display device as the HDMI interface, thereby implementing data transmission between the display device and the external device 500.
It should be noted that, in order to implement the communication connection between the display device and the external device 500, other connection manners may also be adopted between the display device and the external device 500. The specific connection mode may be a wired connection mode, such as DVI (Digital Visual Interface), VGA (Video Graphics Array), USB (Universal Serial Bus), etc.; or a wireless connection mode, such as a wireless local area network, a bluetooth connection, an infrared connection, etc. Different information transfer protocols can be adopted for different communication connection modes, for example, when the connection is realized by adopting an HDMI interface, an HDMI transmission protocol can be adopted for data transmission.
In some embodiments, the display device may be connected to the external device 500, such as a computer host or a game device, through an HDMI interface. When the user uses the external device 500, the external device 500 may output video data and audio data by running the related program. The video data and the audio data may be transmitted to the display device through the HDMI protocol, and output through the display 260 and the speaker of the display device, so as to play the video and the audio of the external device 500. The external device 500 may perform data transmission based on a specific standard after the display device is connected, so that the display device and the external device 500 may perform mutual identification and establish a data transmission channel. For example, the Display device may establish a connection with the external device 500 based on Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) and implement mutual Identification. Extended display identification data is a standard data format of the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) that contains parameters about the display 260 and its capabilities, including but not limited to: vendor information, maximum image size, color settings, vendor presets, limits on frequency range, display 260 name, and string of serial numbers.
The external device 500 may perform data transmission based on a specific standard after the display device is connected, so that the display device and the external device 500 may establish a mutual identification and establish a data transmission channel. For example, the display device may be recognized by the external device 500 based on EDID.
After the connection relationship between the display device and the external device 500 is established, data transmission between the display device and the external device 500500 can be bidirectional, that is, the external device 500 can send media data and other data related to audio and video output to the display device; meanwhile, the display device may also send data to the external device 500, for example, send request data, feedback result data, and the like to the external device 500. Therefore, the display device and the external device 500 may not only transmit the media data to complete the playing process, but also transmit the control command to realize the interactive control.
In some embodiments, when it is detected that the external device interface is connected to the external device 500, the display apparatus may generate extended display identification data EDID for data interaction with the external device 500, and notify the external device 500 to read the EDID information. After the external device 500 reads the EDID information, corresponding media asset data may be generated and sent to the display device. It should be noted that, the EDID information mainly defines the image resolution, the supported sound format, the sound channel, the 3D information, and the like supported by the display device, and aims to inform the external device 500 of the characteristics supported by the display device, so that the external device 500 outputs the audio/video data supported by the display device according to the characteristics, otherwise, the audio/video data output by the external device 500 is not supported by the display device, and the display device cannot normally play the audio/video data.
In some embodiments, the display apparatus may generate the initial extended display identification data EDID first after detecting that the external device interface is connected to the external device 500. The initial extended display identification data in the embodiment of the present application includes two fields, namely a Base field Block and a first extended field CTA Block, each of which is 128 bytes.
In generating the initial extended display identification data EDID, the controller 250 may first acquire device information and video parameters of the display device. In the embodiments of the present application, the device information of the display device is referred to as first device information. The first device information includes data such as an ID and manufacturer information of the display device. The video parameters are related parameters when the display device plays a video, such as a display resolution, a color parameter, and the like that the display 260 supports outputting.
The controller 250 may generate the base field according to the first device information and the video parameter. The base field includes 128 bytes. Wherein, bytes 00H-07H represent the file header of the EDID data and are also the start flag of the basic field, and these 8 bytes are fixed and equal to 0x00 FFFFFFFFFFFFFF;
08H-09H byte, representing the manufacturer's ID or name;
0AH-0BH byte, representing product ID;
0CH-0FH byte, representing the serial number of the production line;
bytes 10H-11H, representing production time;

14H bytes, which represents the type of video input signal, whether it is digital or analog;
15H bytes, representing the maximum horizontal size;
16H bytes, representing the maximum vertical dimension;
17H bytes, representing the display transmission characteristics, i.e. displaying a version of Gamma, such as 2.20;
18 bytes, representing the HDPMS and supported attributes, such as the display type is RGB;
bytes 19H-22H, representing chrominance information;
23H bytes, representing the supported base timing Table 1, such as 640x480@60HZ (IBM, VGA), 800x600@60HZ (VESA);
24H bytes, representing supported basic timing Table 2, such as 1024x768@60HZ (VESA);
25H bytes, representing timing information reserved by the manufacturer;
bytes 26H-35H, which represents the supported standard timing table;
bytes 36H-47H, which represents timing detailed information description 1, and this segment is a more detailed description of timing, such as horizontal and vertical picture size, whether the refresh mode is interlaced or progressive, etc.;
bytes 48H-59H, which represents timing detail description 2;
5AH-6BH byte, representing timing detail description 3;
the 6CH-7DH byte represents the detailed information description 4 of the timing, these four segments are used to describe the detailed information of different timing, description 1 must have, others can be null;
7EH byte, which represents the flag bit of the extension part, if 0, the extension part does not exist, and if 1, the extension part also exists behind;
the 7FH byte, representing the CheckSum check bit, is used to check whether the data has been altered illegally or whether there is a transmission error, which is the end flag of the basic field.
In some embodiments, since the basic field is only 128 bytes and the information that can be stored is limited, some extension information may also be obtained and the first extension field may be generated according to the extension information.
The controller 250 may acquire mode information and audio parameters of the display device. Wherein the mode information refers to video and audio modes, such as analog or digital. The audio parameters are related parameters when the display device plays audio, and may include a sampling frequency of the audio, a sampling depth of the audio, format information of the audio, and the like. The controller 250 may also obtain some other extended information, such as manufacturer information, etc.
The controller 250 may generate the first extension field according to the mode information and the audio parameter.
Fig. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first extension field in some embodiments. The first extension field, CTA Block, CTA original name CEA (American Consumer electronics Association), may be a CEA-861D extension Block.
As shown in fig. 6, the first extension field includes 128 bytes. The following extended information is included:
image and sound patterns, such as analog or digital. Color modes, such as YCbCr (4. A short timing description, here specifying some timing information that is not described within segment 1. For example, 640x480p @60HZ 4. Short descriptions of sound such as PCM (2-channel, 32KHZ,44.1HZ,48HZ,16bit,20bit, 24bit), AC-3, dolby Digital + (6-channel, 32KHZ,44.1KHZ,48KHZ, maximum bit rate 640 kbps), loudspeakers (left and right channels). VSDB: manufacturer specific information, such as CEC physical address, 3D information, deep color information, etc., is included. CheckSum check bit.
In some embodiments, controller 250 concatenates the first extension field after the base field, resulting in initial extension display identification data. The initial extension display identifies the field order in the data as the base field-the first extension field. Each field is 128 bytes, and therefore the initial extended display identification data is 256 bytes of data, which is abbreviated as 256 bytes EDID in the embodiment of the present application.
After acquiring the initial extended display identification data, the controller 250 may store the initial extended display identification data in a preset storage module, which may be a register RAM. Controller 250 may send an instruction to external device 500 to cause external device 500 to read the initial extended display identification data stored in the register. External device 500 may determine, based on the initial extended display identification data, information associated with the display device, including video parameters and audio parameters, such as the display resolution that display 260 supports the output. The external device 500 may generate corresponding media asset data, including audio and video data, according to the information, and send the media asset data to the display device. The display device may play the media asset data sent by the external device 500.
It should be noted that, since the initial expansion display identification data is 256 bytes, the information that can be stored therein is limited. For example, for the display resolution that the display 260 supports outputting, there is an upper limit to the display resolution that the initial extended display identification data can declare, the maximum resolution that the initial extended display identification data can declare is 3840 × 2160@, 120hz, and the upper limit to the resolution that the initial extended display identification data can declare in the embodiment of the present application is referred to as the initial resolution.
However, as display devices are developed, the display resolution supported by the display 260 for output is also increased, i.e., may exceed the initial resolution, for example, the display resolution supported by the display 260 may be 3840 × 2160@144hz, or even 3840 × 2160@165hz. Limited by the declarative ability to initially expand the display identification data, the display device cannot inform external device 500 of resolution conditions supported by display 260 that exceed the initial resolution. External device 500 may consider the maximum resolution supported by display 260 to be the initial resolution, resulting in generation of video data at or below the initial resolution when generating the asset data. At this time, the external device 500 may be capable of outputting video data with a higher resolution, but since the initial extended display identification data of the display device results in that the video data with the highest resolution can only be output, the output capability is reduced, so that both the display device and the external device 500 cannot exert the optimal performance. Accordingly, the controller 250 may adjust the initial extended display identification data so that it can declare a resolution condition supported by the display 260 that exceeds the initial resolution.
In some embodiments, the controller 250 may acquire the physical resolution of the display 260.
There will be a fixed physical resolution for the display 260. The physical resolution represents the maximum display resolution that the display 260 is capable of outputting. For example, for a display 260 with a resolution of 3840 × 2160@144Hz, if the physical resolution of the display 260 is 3840 × 2160@144Hz, the display 260 is capable of outputting a display with a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 and a maximum refresh frame rate of 144. Meanwhile, the display 260 can also output and display other resolutions below 3840 × 2160@144Hz, for example, an image of 1920 × 1080@60hz resolution is output and displayed. The controller 250 may control the display 260 to output images at different resolutions within the physical resolution.
The controller 250 may detect a magnitude relationship between the initial resolution and the physical resolution. If the physical resolution of display 260 is less than or equal to the initial resolution, it is indicated that the display resolution supported by display 260 does not exceed the upper resolution limit that can be declared by the initial extended display identification data, which has been able to declare all the resolutions currently supported by display 260. At this time, the controller 250 may directly use the initial extended display identification data as extended display identification data EDID of the display device without adjusting the initial extended display identification data, and may notify the external device 500 to read the EDID information, so that the external device 500 generates media data and sends the media data to the display device. The initial extended display identification data may characterize to external device 500 the display resolution that display 260 supports output, but declare that the display resolution that display 260 supports output is less than or equal to the initial resolution.
If the physical resolution of display 260 is greater than the initial resolution, it is an indication that the display resolution of the output supported by display 260 has exceeded the upper resolution limit that can be declared by the initial extended display identification data, which can declare all the resolutions currently supported by display 260. At this time, if the initial extended display identification data is continuously used, the external device 500 may consider that the maximum resolution supported by the display device is the initial resolution, so as to generate video data at or below the initial resolution, which affects the viewing experience of the user. Accordingly, controller 250 may adjust the initial extended display identification data to enable external device 500 to determine all resolutions currently supported by display 260.
FIG. 7 illustrates an interaction flow diagram for components of a display device in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 7, the method comprises the following steps:
and S71, generating initial expansion display identification data after detecting that the external device interface is connected with the external equipment 500.
S72, generating extension information based on the physical resolution of the display; and combining the extended information and the initial extended display identification data to obtain first extended display identification data.
And S73, sending an instruction for reading the first extended display identification data to the external device 500, and acquiring data reading result information of the external device 500.
And S74, acquiring target extended display identification data based on the data reading result information, and determining the target extended display identification data as extended display identification data of the display device.
In some embodiments, the controller 250 may perform an expansion process on the initial expansion display identification data to obtain first expansion display identification data. The first extended display identification data can characterize to the peripheral 500 the output resolution supported by the display 260 and can state that the display 260 supports output at a display resolution greater than the initial resolution, e.g., state that the maximum display resolution that the display 260 supports output is the physical resolution.
The controller 250 may generate the extended information based on the physical resolution of the display 260. The extended information in the embodiment of the present application includes two fields: a second extension field and a third extension field. The extended information may characterize the physical resolution of the display 260, i.e., the resolution at which the display 260 supports output is greater than the original resolution.
The controller 250 may combine the extended information and the initial extended display identification data to obtain the first extended display identification data. Therefore, the first extended display identification data may contain four fields compared to the initial extended display identification data: a base field, a first extension field, a second extension field, and a third extension field. I.e., the first extended display identification data has two additional extended fields compared to the initial extended display identification data, may declare that the display 260 supports other resolutions higher than the initial resolution, and may include some other extended information. Note that, for the extended display identification data EDID, the bytes of each field included therein are 128.
The controller 250 may first generate the second extension field when performing the extension process on the initial extension display identification data. The second extension field is used to characterize the order of all extension fields.
Considering that the second extension field may characterize the order of all extension fields, the order of the second extension field may be made the most advanced of all extension fields, i.e. the second extension field is the first of all extension fields, and the second extension field may be continued after the base field. Because the order of the second extension field is the first, the order of the second extension field does not need to be represented, and only the order of all the rest extension fields need to be represented.
For each field, a start flag and an end flag are required to distinguish each field.
The first byte of the second extension field is a start flag bit, which may be 0XF0. All bytes from the second byte to 127 th byte can characterize the order of all extension fields except the second extension field. The embodiment of the application comprises three extension fields: the field type display device comprises a first extension field, a second extension field and a third extension field, wherein the second extension field does not need to be represented by itself, and the field types of all the rest extension fields can be represented in sequence. An extension field type may be indicated in each byte. For example, the field type of the first extension field is 0X02, the field type of the third extension field is 0X70, and the first extension field is disposed before the third extension field. Therefore, the second byte in the second extension field may represent the field type 0X02 of the first extension field, and the third byte may represent the field type 0X70 of the third extension field. For subsequent bytes, since no extension field is used for representation, the byte may be padded with 0's. The last byte of the second extension field is an end flag bit, which may be a CheckSum check bit.
In some embodiments, the controller 250 may also generate the third extension field according to the physical resolution of the display 260. The third extension field may state that the display 260 supports other resolution cases of output that are higher than the original resolution. Consider the case where the initial extended display identification data is capable of declaring a resolution less than or equal to the initial resolution that is supported by the display 260. For other resolutions that the display 260 supports output that are greater than the original resolution, it may be stored in the third extension field.
The first byte of the third extension field is a start flag bit, which may be 0X70. The second byte may be major and minor version number information of the third extension field, the third byte may be the number of valid bytes in the third extension field, the fourth byte may be a product type of the display device, and the fifth byte may be the number of subsequent extension fields.
The sixth byte through the 126 th byte may be a resolution extension unit for characterizing a case of a resolution higher than the original resolution of the display support output. In these resolutions, the detailed information of each resolution is represented by a timing, and each timing may occupy several bytes, including the specific resolution and the relevant parameter information corresponding to the resolution. Bytes that do not represent valid information may be padded with 0 s.
The 127 th byte may be an end flag bit of the resolution extension unit, which is a CheckSum check bit.
The 128 th byte may be the ending flag bit of the entire third extension field, which is a CheckSum check bit.
After obtaining the second extended field and the third extended field, the controller 250 may combine the second extended field, the third extended field, and the initial extended display identification data to obtain the first extended display identification data. The initial extended display identification data includes a base field and a first extended field, and the controller 250 may insert a second extended field between the base field and the first extended field and continue a third extended field after the first extended field, thereby obtaining the first extended display identification data. The sequence of fields in the first extended display identification data is: basic field-second extension field-third extension field-fourth extension field. Each field is 128 bytes, and therefore the first extended display identification data is 512 bytes of data, which is abbreviated as 512 bytes EDID in this embodiment of the present application.
After acquiring the first extended display identification data, the controller 250 may store the first extended display identification data in a preset storage module, i.e., a register RAM, and clear the originally stored initial extended display identification data. The controller 250 may transmit an instruction to the external device 500 so that the external device 500 reads the first extended display identification data stored in the register. External device 500 may determine, based on the first extended display identification data, information about the display device, including video parameters and audio parameters, such as display resolution that display 260 supports output, including physical resolution of display 260. The external device 500 may generate corresponding media data, including video data with a physical resolution or less, according to the information, and send the media data to the display device. The display device may play the media asset data sent by the external device 500.
It should be noted that the display device may store 512 bytes EDID or 256 bytes EDID in the register RAM, thereby declaring the resolution supported by itself to the external device 500. However, due to the wide variety of external devices 500, the capability of each external device 500 to process data may be different, and some external devices 500 may successfully read the 512-byte EDID, but some external devices 500 may only read the 256-byte EDID and may not read the 512-byte EDID. If the connected external device 500 has the capability of processing 512-byte EDID, but the EDID set by the display device is 256-byte EDID, the resolution of the external declaration of the display device may be weakened, and thus both the display device and the external device 500 may not exhibit the optimal performance. If the connected external device 500 does not have the capability of processing 512-byte EDID, but only has the capability of processing 256-byte EDID, but the EDID set by the display device is 512-byte EDID, the external device 500 cannot read the EDID set by the display device, that is, cannot determine the resolution condition supported by the display 260, and thus cannot generate media asset data or generate media asset data with lower resolution, which seriously affects user experience. Therefore, the display device needs to reasonably set the EDID stored in itself in consideration of the capability of the external device 500 to process the EDID.
In some embodiments, the display device may dynamically adjust its stored EDID. Fig. 8 illustrates a software configuration diagram in the display device 200 in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 8, the driver of the display device includes an HDMI, an EDID RAM, a DDC status statistic module, and a data parsing module. The application layer comprises an EDID generation program and an EDID judgment program.
Among them, the HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) is used to connect the external device 500 and the display device. The external device 500 may transmit data to the display device through the HDMI interface, thereby interacting with the display device.
The HDMI interface includes: 4 Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) channels, mainly used for transmitting data, one Display Data Channel (DDC) and a Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) line. The DDC is a bus standard whose basic function is to transmit electronic file information of the display 260, such as receivable line frequency field frequency range, manufacturer, date of manufacture, product serial number, product model, standard display mode and its parameters, supported DDC standard category, EDID version information, and the like. The high-version DDC standard bus may also allow the external device 500 to directly adjust basic parameters of the display 260, such as brightness, contrast, magnitude of line field amplitude, line field center position, color temperature parameters, and the like.
The external device 500 may read EDID information in the display device through the DDC channel, thereby obtaining information of the display device, confirming a setting function displayed by the display device, and deciding in what format audio/video data is transmitted between the external device and the display device. The CEC channel is an optional channel, and can realize advanced control functions between some audio and video devices through the CEC channel, for example, the functions of supporting bidirectional communication between a video source and a digital television, and realizing simultaneous startup by pressing a single key, automatic power-on, automatic signal routing, remote control and the like are realized. The HDMI further includes a Hot Plug (HPD) pin, and the display device may detect whether the external device 500 is connected through the HPD, determine whether the external device 500 reads the EDID information, and determine whether the external device 500 starts to transmit the TMDS signal.
The display device may store the EDID information in an EDID RAM, which is the register RAM. The external device 500 can read the EDID information through the DDC channel. The DDC status statistics module may obtain a condition that the external device 500 reads the EDID, for example, which byte of the EDID the external device 500 can read, so as to determine which parameter information of the display device the external device 500 can obtain.
The external device 500 may also transmit some data, such as device information of the external device 500, through the HDMI. In the embodiment of the present application, the device information of the external device 500 is referred to as second device information. The data analysis module may analyze data sent by the external device 500, so as to obtain specific data.
The DDC status statistics module may send the condition that the external device 500 reads the EDID to the EDID determination program, and the data analysis module may send some data of the external device 500, for example, device information, to the EDID determination program. The display device may determine, through the EDID determining program, the EDID that the display device should currently set, for example, set 512-byte EDID or 256-byte EDID, and send the EDID condition that needs to be set to the EDID generating program.
The display device may generate the EDID information through the EDID generation program, for example, generate 512-byte EDID or 256-byte EDID, and the specific generation method may refer to the above steps, which are not described herein again. After the EDID is generated, the EDID may be sent to the EDID RAM for storage, so that the external device 500 may read the EDID.
In some embodiments, when the EDID stored in the display device is set, the controller 250 may first acquire the second device information of the external device 500, and the controller 250 may send a device information acquisition instruction to the external device 500.
After receiving the device information obtaining instruction, the external device 500 may send the device information of itself to the display device. The device information may include information such as a device type and a device model of the external device 500.
The controller 250 may first determine the capability of the external device 500 to read the EDID according to the device type of the external device 500. For some specific device types, it can be determined that these external devices 500 have the capability of reading 512-byte EDID, such as a computer host. Therefore, the controller 250 may pre-store these specific device types as target device types.
After acquiring the device type of the external device 500, the controller 250 may determine whether the device type is a preset target device type. If so, it indicates that the currently connected external device 500 already has the capability of reading 512 bytes EDID, so the controller 250 may directly determine the first extended display identification data as the extended display identification data of the display device, i.e., store 512 bytes EDID in the register RAM, so that the external device 500 reads the extended display identification data.
If the device type is not the preset target device type, it is not determined whether the external device 500 has the capability of reading the 512-byte EDID for the moment, and further detection of the external device 500 is required.
In some embodiments, controller 250 may detect external device 500 to determine the ability of external device 500 to read EDID. Each external device 500 corresponds to one device model, and for one external device 500, after the capability of reading the EDID is detected, it can be considered that all the external devices 500 of the device models corresponding to the external device 500 are detected, and the capability of reading the EDID is also read.
Therefore, after detecting the EDID reading capability of one external device 500, the device model of the external device 500 may be determined, and the device model and the EDID reading capability thereof form a corresponding relationship and are stored in a preset capability list. For example, the external device 500 has a device model of a game machine PS5, and the ability to read EDID is to read 512 bytes EDID. At this time, the display device needs to store 512 bytes of EDID into the register RAM, and simultaneously generates a corresponding relationship: gaming machine PS5-512 bytes EDID and stores it in the capability list.
In subsequent applications, after the external device 500 is connected to the display device, the controller 250 may continue to detect the capability of the external device 500 to read the EDID. At this time, the controller 250 may first obtain the device model of the external device 500, and traverse through a preset capability list to determine whether the EDID reading capability corresponding to the device model exists. If the EDID exists, the capability of the current external device 500 to read the EDID may be directly determined, so as to determine the EDID that needs to be stored in the register RAM. If not, controller 250 needs to continue to detect the ability of external device 500 to read EDID.
In some embodiments, upon detecting the capability of the external device 500 to read the EDID, the controller 250 may transmit an instruction to read the first extended display identification data to the external device 500. The external device 500 reads the result information of the data of the 512-byte EDID, and the capability of the external device 500 to read the EDID is judged, so that the target extended display identification data is determined. The object extension display identification data may be one of 512 bytes EDID and 256 bytes EDID.
When sending the instruction, the controller 250 may pull down the level of the Hot Plug/Clock pin first, and pull up the level of the Hot Plug/Clock pin after 500ms, thereby implementing sending the instruction for reading the first extended display identification data to the external device 500.
After receiving the instruction, the external device 500 may read 512 bytes EDID stored in the display device through the DDC channel in the HDMI. The controller 250 may acquire data reading result information of the external device 500 on the 512-byte EDID through the DDC state counting module, where the data reading result information may include a total number of bytes that the external device 500 can read. The field that external device 500 can completely read can be determined according to the total number of bytes.
When the external device 500 reads 512-byte EDID, it needs to sequentially read each field according to the sequence of the fields in the 512-byte EDID. The field order in 512 bytes EDID is base field-second extension field-third extension field-fourth extension field. Therefore, the controller 250 may determine the target field through the data reading result information of the external device 500. The target field refers to: 512 bytes EDID, the external device 500 can read the last field completely. The target field may characterize the ability of external device 500 to read EDID.
For example, the external device 500 can read the 288 th byte, that is, the external device 500 can read a portion of the third field in the 512-byte EDID. The external device 500 can read the first two fields completely, but cannot read the third field completely, and cannot read the fourth field completely. The destination field is therefore the second field, i.e. the second extension field. Therefore, the external device 500 can completely read two fields, which are 256 bytes, and the external device 500 has the capability of reading the 256-byte EDID.
In some embodiments, after determining the target field, the controller 250 may determine the target extended display identification data, i.e., extended display identification data EDID that the display device needs to store, according to the target field.
The controller 250 may detect the target field.
If the target field is detected to be any one of the basic field, the second extended field or the first extended field, it indicates that the external device 500 cannot completely read the fourth field of the 512-byte EDID, i.e., cannot completely read the fourth extended field. Therefore, the external device 500 cannot completely read the entire 512-byte EDID, i.e., does not have the capability of reading the 512-byte EDID. At this time, it is considered that the maximum resolution of the video data that the external device 500 can output does not exceed the initial resolution. Accordingly, 256 bytes EDID can be determined as the target extended display identification data. At this time, the controller 250 may store 256-byte EDID into the register RAM to make the external device 500 read.
If the target field is detected to be the third extended field, it indicates that the external device 500 can completely read the entire 512-byte EDID, and the external device 500 has the capability of reading the 512-byte EDID. At this time, it is considered that the maximum resolution of the video data that the external device 500 can output exceeds the initial resolution. Accordingly, the 512-byte EDID can be determined as the target extended display identification data. At this time, the controller 250 may store 512 bytes EDID into the register RAM to make the external device 500 read.
In some embodiments, in addition to 512 bytes EDID and 256 bytes EDID, other EDIDs, such as 128 bytes EDID and 384 bytes EDID, may be stored in the display device.
If the target field is the first field of the 512-byte EDID, i.e., the basic field, it indicates that the external device 500 can only completely read the 128-byte EDID, i.e., the external device 500 has the capability of reading the 128-byte EDID. At this time, the controller 250 may generate 128 bytes EDID. The controller 250 may generate the second extended display identification data according to the basic field, and may directly determine the basic field as the second extended display identification data, which is abbreviated as 128 bytes EDID in this embodiment. The controller 250 may determine the second extended display identification data as the target extended display identification data and may also determine the initial extended display identification data as the target extended display identification data.
If the target field is the third field of the 512-byte EDID, i.e., the first extended field, it indicates that the external device 500 can completely read the three fields, i.e., completely read the 384-byte EDID. At this time, the controller 250 may generate the third extended display identification data, which is abbreviated as 384-byte EDID in the embodiment of the present application. The controller 250 may determine the basic field, the second extended field, and the first extended field, and sequentially connected three fields as the third extended display identification data. The controller 250 may determine the third extended display identification data as the target extended display identification data and may also determine the initial extended display identification data as the target extended display identification data.
In some embodiments, after acquiring the target extended display identification data, the controller 250 may determine the target extended display identification data as extended display identification data of the display device. At this time, the controller 250 may store the target extended display identification data in the register RAM and notify the external device 500 to read the target extended display identification data.
After the external device 500 reads the target expansion display identification data, the parameter information of the display device, including the resolution condition that the display device supports output, may be determined. The external device 500 may generate the media asset data according to the parameter information and send the media asset data to the display device, and the display device may play the media asset data.
In some embodiments, the user may actively set the display resolution output by the display 260. For example, when an image is being displayed on the display 260, the user may perceive the image to be displayed as having a low degree of sharpness during viewing, and the user may select a target resolution as the display resolution output by the display 260. The user can find the display 260 setting interface in the system setting UI interface of the display device and set the display resolution output by the display 260 in the display 260 setting interface. FIG. 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of a display 260 setup interface in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 9, the display 260 includes a user interface resolution control, a brightness control, a color temperature control, a contrast control, and a factory reset control in the setting interface. The user may click on a user interface resolution control and the controller 250 controls the display 260 to display the user interface resolution status. The user interface resolution case includes the display resolution currently output by the display 260 and all resolutions that can be set. The user may select a target resolution to which the controller 250 updates the display resolution output by the display 260.
Before generating the media asset data, the external device 500 may further determine a target resolution set by a user in the display device. The external device 500 may generate corresponding media asset data according to the target resolution.
In some embodiments, the controller 250 may also determine the EDID of the display device according to the target resolution set by the user. Upon receiving a resolution setting instruction input by the user, the controller 250 may determine a target resolution set by the user. The controller 250 may detect a magnitude relationship of the initial resolution and the target resolution.
If the target resolution is less than or equal to the initial resolution, it is indicated that the display 260 will continue to display images at a lower resolution than the initial resolution. At this time, although the display 260 may display an image with a resolution higher than the initial resolution, the user has no need for the user temporarily, and the external device 500 reads 256 bytes EDID or 512 bytes EDID to determine the current resolution of the display 260. Considering that the external device 500 reads 512 bytes of EDID longer than 256 bytes of EDID, the controller 250 may store 256 bytes of EDID as EDID of the display device into the register RAM to make the external device 500 read, in order to improve efficiency.
If the target resolution is greater than the initial resolution, it indicates that the display 260 continuously displays an image greater than the initial resolution, and the external device 500 cannot determine the current resolution of the display 260 only by using the 256-byte EDID, so that the 256-byte EDID may be extended, and the 512-byte EDID may be used as the EDID of the display device, so that the external device 500 may read the EDID.
In some embodiments, the EDID has multiple versions, such as EDID1.4 version and EDID2.0 version. Different external devices 500 may support different EDID versions.
For example, when the external device 500 supports the EDID1.4 version but does not support the EDID2.0 version, if the display device sets the EDID to the EDID2.0 version, the external device 500 cannot read the EDID of the display device, and thus cannot output the media data to the display device. In order to establish a connection relationship with a different external device 500, the display device needs to switch its EDID version for the different external device 500.
In some embodiments, the controller 250 may first obtain the high-bandwidth digital content protection version when determining the version of the EDID.
After the external device 500 is connected to the display device, a verification instruction for protecting the high-bandwidth digital content may be sent to the display device. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a technique for protecting uncompressed Digital audiovisual Content, which does not allow copy behavior at all from the Content source device to the display device. When a user illegally copies a high definition signal, the HDCP technique interferes, reducing the quality of a copied image, thereby protecting the content. The HDCP comprises: checking protocols, pixel encryption, and renewability. In a specific implementation, firstly, the sender verifies whether the receiving device is authorized to receive the encrypted data, and the validity of the data information received by the receiver is checked through the check protocol. The transmitter and the receiving device mutually exchange a Key Selection Vector (KSV) with 40 bits, the transmitter and the receiver carry out independent operation on the obtained KSV and the private key of the transmitter and the receiver, the operation results are compared, and if the two values are equal, the transmitting end can determine the receiver as a proper receiver of the HDCP.
Figure 10 illustrates a flow diagram for checking for high-bandwidth digital content protection in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 10, the method comprises the following steps:
s1001, when the display device and the external device 500 are powered on simultaneously, the external device 500 may send a verification instruction for high bandwidth digital content protection to the display device.
And S1002, when receiving the checking instruction, the display device sends a preset high-bandwidth digital content protection checking key to the external device 500.
And S1003, when the external device 500 reads the verification key, determining that the display device and the external device 500 are verified successfully.
In some embodiments, controller 250 may obtain the high-bandwidth digital content protection version when the verification is successful.
In some embodiments, controller 250 may determine the EDID version supported by external device 500 based on the high-bandwidth digital content protection version.
When the high-bandwidth digital content protection is version 1.4, it may be determined that the EDID version supported by external device 500 is EDID version 1.4. When the high-bandwidth digital content protection is the 2.2 version, it may be determined that the EDID version supported by external device 500 is the EDID2.0 version. It should be noted that the external device 500 has a downward compatibility function, that is, when it is detected that the external device 500 supports the EDID2.0 version, the external device 500 also compatibly supports the EDID2.0 version or less, and the external device 500 supports the EDID1.4 version and the EDID2.0 version.
When the external device 500 is connected to the display device through the HDMI interface, the HDCP verification is initiated on the display device, and since the 1.4 version of the HDCP and the 2.2 version of the HDCP correspond to the EDID version of the external device 500, the EDID version corresponding to the highest version of the HDCP verified by the external device 500 may be the highest EDID version supported by the external device 500 by default.
In some embodiments, the controller 250 may determine the EDID version supported by the external device 500 as a target version of the extended display identification data of the display device. The controller 250 may adjust the version of the target extended display identification data to the target version.
In some embodiments, the display device is provided with an EDID version auto-switching function. That is, when the controller 250 obtains the target version, the version of the target extended display identification data is automatically adjusted to the target version.
The user can set the EDID version by himself. The user can close the automatic EDID version switching function, so that the EDID version can be switched automatically. Fig. 11 illustrates an EDID version switching interface in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 11, the user may call up the EDID version switching interface in the system setting of the display device. The EDID version switching interface includes three options: auto, EDID1.4 and EDID 2.0. And when the user selects automatic, the display equipment starts the EDID version automatic switching function. And when the user selects the EDID1.4 or the EDID2.0, the display equipment closes the EDID version automatic switching function and keeps the EDID version as the target version selected by the user.
When the user closes the automatic EDID version switching function and manually sets the EDID version of the display device, the EDID version of the display device manually set by the user is preferentially followed, and the subjective intention of the user is preferentially taken as the priority. When the EDID version supported by the external device 500 is the EDID2.0 version, the EDID version of the display device may be switched to the EDID2.0 version according to the EDID version of the external device 500. However, if the EDID version of the display device is manually set to the EDID1.4 version by the user, the EDID version of the display device is switched to the 1.4 version.
