Description

The Ethernet video-phone system
Technical field
The present invention relates to video-phone system, especially a kind of video-phone system based on Ethernet (Ethernet).
Background technology
Video telephone is used to provide two-way Voice ﹠ Video communication link in communication system, can make the user reach the dual communication effect of the vision and the sense of hearing, has incomparable advantage than plain old telephone, has shown vast potential for future development.Along with International Telecommunications Union tissue (ITU) announcement at the ITU-H.32X series international standard of multimedia visual telephone system, video telephone is at home and abroad developed one after another and has been dropped into use very soon, and its development is popularized rapidly day by day.
Usually, a video telephone uses a video camera together with a video display apparatus, a hands-free speaker phone and a telephony interface.United States Patent (USP) NO.4715059 has described in one based on the video telephone of microprocessor, and wherein Gui Ding hardware generally is applicable to the video telephone communication network.
According to the difference of transmission channel, video telephone can be divided into PSTN (public telephone network) type, ISDN (integrated services digital network) type, tailored version or the like, and the video telephone on every kind of communication network all has its pairing ITU-H.32X standard.With should belong to ISDN (integrated services digital network) type the most widely, as a full-digital network based on public telephone network, ISDN is the abbreviation of Integrated Services Digital Network, it can utilize common telephone wire bidirectional high speed to transmit digital signal, be widely used in multinomial communication service, comprise the transmission of voice, data, image etc., it can carry out communication with other computer network systems such as internet, local area network (LAN) etc.
But be subjected to the restriction of access bandwidth, very slow of the transmission rate of the video telephone data in the conventional art, such as its transmission rate of ISDN has only 128Kbps at the soonest, transmission rate can have a strong impact on the quality of image and the effect of conversation slowly.Along with the development of Ethernet and broadband technology, these problems might obtain good solution route.
Purpose of the present invention is that a kind of video-phone system based on Ethernet is provided, and to remedy many deficiencies of present plain old telephone and some radio phone terminals, increases transmission speed, improves picture quality.
Ethernet belongs to the network lower layer protocol, common physical layer and data link layer operation at osi model.It is modal in the bus-type agreement, and data rate is the coaxial cable system of 10Mbps (mbit/).The relatively cheap and installation easily of this system directly utilizes the BNC-T type connector on each work station network interface card, just cable can be connected to another work station from a work station, finishes the Network Transmission control task.Along with the development of ethernet switch technology, the scale of Ethernet has also had development rapidly, has surmounted traditional local area network (LAN) category.Be linked into building and be broadband ethernet with the optical fiber of gigabit rate with the full interactive network that the Category-5 twisted pair of 100Mbps speed is linked into the user.The existing Ethernet transmitting video data has normally adopted TCP/IP, IPX/SPX contour level communication protocol on the basis of Ethernet.All these all are that good condition has been created in the development of multi-media communication.
Summary of the invention
Embodiment of the present invention are to realize like this, should when containing some universal telephone modules, comprise a video based on the video telephone of Ethernet at least and take in the unit, a master controller, an audio frequency input unit, an ethernet controller wafer, the Ethernet Video Telephone Software, the Ethernet connection device.
Master controller is the maincenter of whole system, and its control of video is taken in two-way exchange and the processing that unit, audio frequency input unit, Ethernet Video Telephone Software, ethernet controller wafer and Ethernet connection device are finished data; Video is taken in the unit and is transferred to system after with the external image digitlization; The audio frequency input unit receives telephone user's sound; The encoding digital signals of Ethernet Video Telephone Software to exchanging and handle through master controller, and then send master controller to, simultaneously to decoding of transmitting by the other side's video telephone through the software kit coded data; The ethernet controller wafer has networking and power management functions, and itself and Ethernet connection device are the bridges that this phone and Ethernet carry out exchanges data and transmission.System carries out video communication by the user of Ethernet and internet, telephone network, other local area network (LAN)s, other communication networks or even telephone wire and other video telephone.
This master controller can be an inserted CPU, at this moment, needs a video display unit such as LCD display, and it also can be exactly a PC with USB interface, then this moment this PC computer monitor promptly can be used as the display unit of this video telephone.
This video take in unit also can be when having the video acquisition function can integrated collection audio frequency, audio frequency promptly when being provided, video also is provided, finish video telephone to the obtaining synchronously of video and audio frequency,, can replace the sound card on the personal computer as a PC Camera who has microphone.
The video-phone system that adopts the present invention to describe, the high speed that can make two ethernet users that this video-phone system is housed carry out voice, data, image etc. is mutual, realizes the visual telephone service on the Ethernet.The present invention compared with prior art, its advantage is as follows:
1, transmission speed is fast, dependable performance
Native system is based upon on the basis of Ethernet, and the broadband width of its access has determined the two-forty of transfer of data, and then has directly influenced the user and carry out the speech quality of voice, data, image etc. and the reliability of performance.
2, upgrading is convenient
Because the realization of major function relies on software to finish in the native system, also mainly carry out easily by the upgrading Video Telephone Software at the function upgrading of native system.
