Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a power capability determining apparatus 100 applicable to power capability determination in an electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 200 may include an input interface connector 202, a signal processing circuit 204, an output interface connector 206, a power interface connector 208, and the power capability determining device 100 of the present invention. The input interface connector 202 is configured to receive an input signal and transmit the input signal to the signal processing circuit 204, the signal processing circuit 204 is configured to process the input signal and generate an output signal, and the output interface connector 206 is configured to output the output signal. The power interface connector 208 is configured to receive a power source 210 and transmit the power source 210 to the signal processing circuit 204 and the power capability determining device 100. Any of the input interface connector 202, the output interface connector 206, and the power interface connector 208 may be a universal serial bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB) connector or a high definition multimedia interface (High Definition Multimedia Interface, HDMI) connector. In some embodiments, the input interface connector 202 and the power interface connector 208 are implemented as the same connector, for example, when the input signal is from a player and the input interface is HDMI, the input interface connector 202 and the power interface connector 208 are combined into a single HDMI connector and receive an input signal and a power source from the player at the same time. In some embodiments, the output interface connector 206 and the power interface connector 208 are implemented as the same connector, for example, when the output signal is output to a display and the output interface is USB, the output interface connector 206 and the power interface connector 208 are combined into a single USB connector and output an output signal to the display and receive a power source from the display at the same time.
The power capability determining apparatus 100 is configured to output a power capability index pwr_idx to the signal processing circuit 204, however, the power capability index pwr_idx generated according to the power interface may be different, and the two embodiments are provided in the present invention. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a block diagram of a power capability determining apparatus 100 according to a first embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2, the power capability determining apparatus 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a connector 102, a voltage monitoring circuit 104, a switching circuit 110, a load circuit 120 and a processing circuit 106. The connector 102 is configured to receive a power source (e.g., the power source 210 connected to the power interface connector 208 shown in fig. 1) to output an input voltage at a power output terminal n_pwr. In the present embodiment, the connector 102 is a USB power connector, wherein if the power interface connector 208 of the electronic device 200 is a USB interface, the connector 102 and the power interface connector 208 can be combined into a single USB power connector. The load circuit 120 includes a plurality of different loads (e.g., a first load 121, a second load 122, and a third load 123), the switch circuit 110 is electrically connected between the load circuit 120 and the power output terminal n_pwr of the connector 102, wherein the switch circuit 110 includes a plurality of switches electrically connected to the different loads in the load circuit 120, e.g., the switch circuit 110 includes a first switch 111, a second switch 112, and a third switch 113, and the first switch 111, the second switch 112, and the third switch 113 are electrically connected to the first load 121, the second load 122, and the third load 123, respectively. The voltage monitor circuit 104 is electrically connected to the power output terminal n_pwr of the connector 102, and is used for monitoring the input voltage to generate a monitored voltage value v_in. The processing circuit 106 is electrically connected to the voltage monitoring circuit 104 and the switching circuit 110, and is configured to control the first switch 111, the second switch 112, and the third switch 113, and receive the monitored voltage value v_in and determine a power supply capability of the power supply (e.g. the power supply 210 shown IN fig. 1) according to the monitored voltage value v_in under the control of the switching circuit 110 by the processing circuit 106.
For example, when the connector 102 receives a USB power and outputs an input voltage, the voltage monitor circuit 104 monitors and detects the input voltage and generates a monitor voltage value v_in, and the processing circuit 106 determines whether the monitor voltage value v_in is greater than a threshold v_th. Initially, the first switch 111, the second switch 112 and the third switch 113 are all turned off (switched off), and the threshold v_th may be set to 4.75 volts because the lowest voltage of the USB power supply at the current that the USB power supply can supply is 4.75 volts (V) IN the relevant specification of the USB, if the monitored voltage v_in (i.e. the input voltage) is not greater than the threshold v_th (e.g. 4.75 volts), the processing circuit 106 generates a damaged power capability Index index_0 (i.e. pwr_idx=index_0) to indicate the power capability (i.e. power failure) of the power supply. If the monitored voltage v_in (i.e., the input voltage) is greater than the threshold v_th (e.g., 4.75 volts), the processing circuit 106 turns on (switch on) the first switch 111 to electrically connect the power output n_pwr to the first load 121 (the remaining second switch 112 and the third switch 113 remain turned off (switch off)), and determines that the monitored voltage v_in is present, if the monitored voltage v_in is not greater than the threshold v_th (e.g., 4.75 volts), the processing circuit 106 generates a first power Index index_1 (i.e., pwr_idx=index_1); if the monitored voltage v_in is still greater than the threshold v_th, the processing circuit 106 turns off the first switch 111 and turns on the second switch 112, and the third switch 113 remains turned off. IN the present embodiment, the first load 121 is set as a load for detecting whether the power supply can provide 0.5 ampere current, that is, when the monitored voltage v_in of the power supply output terminal n_pwr is electrically connected to the first load 121 is greater than the threshold v_th (e.g. 4.75 volts), the power supply capability of the power supply can output 0.5 ampere current, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the load value IN the load circuit can be changed according to the requirement. The processing circuit 106 turns on the second switch 112 to electrically connect the power output terminal n_pwr to the second load 122 (the remaining first switch 111 and the third switch 113 remain turned off), and determines the monitored voltage value v_in at the moment, and if the monitored voltage value v_in at the moment is not greater than the threshold v_th (e.g. 4.75 volts), the processing circuit 106 generates a second power capability Index index_2 (i.e. pwr_idx=index_2); if the monitored voltage v_in is greater than the threshold v_th, the processing circuit 106 turns off the second switch 112 and turns on the third switch 113, and the first switch 111 remains turned off. The processing circuit 106 turns on the third switch 113 to electrically connect the power output terminal to the third load 123 (the remaining first switch 111 and the second switch 112 remain turned off), and determines the monitored voltage value v_in at the moment, if the monitored voltage value v_in at the moment is not greater than the threshold v_th (e.g. 4.75 volts), the processing circuit 106 generates a third power Index index_3 (i.e. pwr_idx=index_2); if the monitored voltage v_in is still greater than the threshold v_th, the processing circuit 106 generates a fourth power capability Index index_4 (i.e., pwr_idx=index_4).
In a first example of the present invention, the connector 102 is a USB power connector. Accordingly, the first load 121 may be set as a load for detecting whether the power supply can supply a current of 0.5 amperes, the second load 122 may be set as a load for detecting whether the power supply can supply a current of 1 amperes, and the third load 123 may be set as a load for detecting whether the power supply can supply a current of 1.5 amperes, but the present invention is not limited thereto and the load value in the load circuit may be changed according to the need. In other words, when the power capability judging device 100 generates the damage power capability Index index_0, it represents that the power may be damaged; when the power capability determining device 100 generates the first power capability Index index_1, it represents that the current provided by the power source is less than 0.5 ampere; when the power capability determining device 100 generates the second power capability Index index_2, it represents that the current that the power source can provide is more than 0.5 ampere and less than 1 ampere; when the power capability determining device 100 generates the third power capability Index index_3, it represents that the current that the power source can provide is more than 1 ampere and less than 1.5 amperes; and when the power capability determining apparatus 100 generates the fourth power capability Index index_4, it means that the current that the power source can supply is 1.5 amperes or more.
According to the above configuration, the power capability determining apparatus 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention can determine a power capability of a USB power source, and inform the power capability of the power source 210 used by the electronic device 200 by outputting different power capability indexes pwr_idx, and the electronic device 200 starts different functions according to the power capability indexes pwr_idx. For example, if the electronic device 200 of fig. 1 is a signal processing device for processing a video/audio signal, the electronic device 200 does not perform image processing when the power capability Index pwr_idx received by the signal processing circuit 204 of the electronic device 200 is the damaged power capability Index index_0 or the first power capability Index index_1; when the power capability Index pwr_idx received by the signal processing circuit 204 is the second power capability Index index_2, the electronic device 200 performs only the frame size Scaling (Scaling) on the input signal; when the power capability Index pwr_idx received by the signal processing circuit 204 is the third power capability Index index_3, the electronic device 200 performs image processing (e.g. image processing such as adjusting the Sharpness (sharp) and improving the resolution (Super resolution)) of the input signal by scaling the picture size and presetting (Default); when the power capability Index pwr_idx received by the signal processing circuit 204 is the fourth power capability Index index_4, the electronic device 200 performs the frame size scaling, the scene detection and the corresponding image processing setting on the input signal, and performs the image processing. In general, the power capability index pwr_idx indicates that the higher the current that the power source can provide, the more or more complex image processing can be performed on the input signal by the electronic device 200. It should be noted that the above examples of operations corresponding to different values of the power capability index pwr_idx are only used for illustration, and are not limiting of the present invention.
The power capability determining apparatus 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is used for determining the power capability of the HDMI power source. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a block diagram of a power capability determining apparatus 300 according to a second embodiment of the invention. The power capability determination device 100 shown in fig. 1 may be practiced instead by the power capability determination device 300. As shown in fig. 3, the power capability determining apparatus 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a connector 302, a voltage monitoring circuit 304, a switch circuit 310, a load circuit 320 and a processing circuit 306, wherein the load circuit 320 includes a plurality of different loads (e.g. a first load 321 and a second load 322), the switch circuit 310 includes a plurality of switches electrically connected to the different loads in the load circuit 320, for example, the switch circuit 310 includes a first switch 311 and a second switch 312, and the first switch 311 and the second switch 312 are electrically connected to the first load 321 and the second load 322, respectively. The power capability judging device 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different from the power capability judging device 100 according to the first embodiment in that: the connector 302 is an HDMI power connector, and the switch circuit 310 and the load circuit 320 respectively include two switches and two loads, and similarly, if the power interface connector 208 of the electronic device 200 is an HDMI interface, the connector 302 and the power interface connector 208 may be combined into a single HDMI power connector. Similarly, when the connector 302 receives an HDMI power and outputs an input voltage, the voltage monitor circuit 304 monitors and detects the input voltage and generates a monitor voltage v_in1, and the processing circuit 306 determines whether the monitor voltage v_in1 is greater than a threshold v_th1. Initially, both the first switch 321 and the second switch 322 remain off (switch off), and if the monitored voltage v_in1 (i.e. the input voltage) is not greater than the threshold v_th1, the processing circuit 306 generates a damaged power capability Index index_0 (i.e. pwr_idx=index_0) to indicate the power capability (i.e. power failure) of the HDMI power. If the monitored voltage v_in1 (i.e., the input voltage) is greater than the threshold v_th1, the processing circuit 306 turns on the first switch 311 to electrically connect the power output n_pwr1 of the connector 302 to the first load 321 (while the second switch 322 is still turned off), and determines the monitored voltage v_in1, and if the monitored voltage v_in1 is not greater than the threshold v_th1, the processing circuit 306 generates a first power Index index_1 (i.e., pwr_idx=index_1); if the monitored voltage v_in1 is greater than the threshold v_th1, the processing circuit 306 turns off the first switch 311 and turns on the second switch 312 to electrically connect the power output terminal n_pwr1 to the second load 322, and determines the monitored voltage v_in1, and if the monitored voltage v_in1 is not greater than the threshold v_th1, the processing circuit 306 generates a second power capability Index index_2 (i.e., pwr_idx=index_2); if the monitored voltage v_in1 is greater than the threshold v_th1, the processing circuit 306 generates a third power capability Index index_3 (i.e., pwr_idx=index_3). It should be noted that the first load 321 and the second load 322 may set their load values according to the requirements, for example, the first load 321 may be set to a load that detects whether the power supply can provide 0.05 ampere of current, and the second load 322 may be set to a load that detects whether the power supply can provide 0.3 ampere of current, but the invention is not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart 400 of a power capability determination method according to an embodiment of the invention. Wherein if the end result is substantially the same, these steps need not be performed exactly in the order shown in fig. 4. The method of the invention comprises the following steps:
step S402: receiving a power supply to output an input voltage;
step S404: monitoring the input voltage to generate a monitored voltage value;
step S406: whether the monitored voltage value is greater than a threshold value; if not, the flow proceeds to step S408; if yes, the flow proceeds to step S410;
step S408: generating a damage power capability index;
step S410: opening a first switch to enable the input voltage to be conducted to a first load;
step S412: whether the monitored voltage value is greater than the threshold value; if not, the flow proceeds to step S414; if yes, the flow proceeds to step S416;
step S414: generating a first power capability index;
step S416: closing the first switch and opening a second switch to enable the input voltage to be conducted to a second load;
step S418: whether the monitored voltage value is greater than the threshold value; if not, the flow proceeds to step S420; if yes, the flow proceeds to step S422;
step S420: generating a second power capability index;
step S422: closing the second switch and opening a third switch to enable the input voltage to be conducted to a third load;
step S424: whether the monitored voltage value is greater than the threshold value; if not, the flow proceeds to step S426; if yes, the flow proceeds to step S428;
step S426: generating a third power capability index; and
step S428: a fourth power capability index is generated.
It should be noted that, the flowchart 400 of the power capability determining method is an example of the power capability determining apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention having three loads, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in particular, the number of loads in the load circuit may be changed according to the requirement. For example, if the load circuit has only a first load and a second load, the step S418 should be modified as follows: whether the monitored voltage value is greater than the threshold value; if not, the flow proceeds to step S420; if yes, the flow proceeds to step S426, and the processing flow ends after the second/third power capability index is generated.
The power capability determining apparatus 100/300 of the present invention can be applied to an audio/video apparatus, such as a connection device (dongle) or a adapter cable (adapter cable) for transmitting audio/video signals from a player to a display. For example, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6 together, fig. 5 is a block diagram of a power capability determining apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the invention applied to a playing system having a connection apparatus 500, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a connection apparatus product shown in fig. 5.

In this embodiment, the input signal is transmitted to the signal processing circuit 204 through the USB connector 510, and the power is transmitted to the signal processing circuit 204 and the power capability determining device 100 through the USB connector 510. After receiving the USB power, the power capability determining apparatus 100 generates and transmits a power capability index to the signal processing circuit 204 according to the USB power, and the signal processing circuit 204 performs a corresponding operation according to the power capability index. As shown in fig. 6, the connection device 500 may be implemented in this product structure. It should be noted that fig. 5 and 6 only show one of the various embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, a playing system with the connection device 500 is not limited to the embodiment shown in fig. 5 and 6. For example, the connection device 500 may also be designed as a device that is inserted into or coupled to the player, i.e., one end of the connection device 500 is coupled to the player 504 and the other end is coupled to the display 506 via a cable or transmission line.

As shown in fig. 7, the power capability determination device 100 is implemented in a patch cord 700. One end of the patch cord 700 (e.g., HDMI connector 730) is coupled to the display 750, for example, with a connector connection or plugged into one port of the display 750, and the other end of the patch cord 700 is coupled to the player 760, for example, with a connector connection or plugged into one port of the player 760. In this embodiment, the signal transmission device including the signal processing device is a signal transmission component disposed on a signal transmission path between the player and the display. The input signal is transmitted to the signal processing circuit 204 through the USB cable 740, and the power is transmitted to the signal processing circuit 204 and the power capability determining device 100 through the USB connector 740. After receiving the USB power, the power capability determining apparatus 100 generates and transmits a power capability index to the signal processing circuit 204 according to the USB power, and the signal processing circuit 204 performs a corresponding operation according to the power capability index. As shown in fig. 8, the patch cord 700 may be implemented according to a product structure, and the power capability determination device 100 may be disposed in a relatively large-sized connector at two ends of the patch cord 700. It should be noted that fig. 7 and 8 only show one of the various embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, a play system with the patch cord 700 is not limited to the embodiments shown in fig. 7 and 8.
One of the benefits of the invention is that the power supply capacity of a power supply can be rapidly judged and a power supply capacity index can be generated by different loads, so that an electronic device with the power supply capacity judging device can judge whether the electronic device can be started or not according to the power supply capacity index, or further execute different operations according to different power supply capacity indexes.
