Description

Video processing system capable of processing ground, and method

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the ground processing technology of an image processing system that can use a television as a computer without a central processing unit or main memory for a television in a living room. More particularly, the present invention relates to a television in a living room with a computer and a UTP cable. UTP on an image processing system with a TV and PC function that allows users to connect, use the computer directly through a television, or enjoy documents, 3D games, the Internet, etc. without being affected by each other at the same time with a computer user in another room. The present invention relates to a ground processing function image processing system and a method for performing ground processing between a television and a computer using a TV antenna cable when there is no ground line in the cable.

Recently, various methods for utilizing a television receiver as a computer monitor and a dynamic image output device have been proposed.

Digital television all-in-one computers can allow both computers and televisions to be used at the same time, but can also be subject to the spatial constraints of placing the computer next to the television or putting a computer that functions as the main unit into the television. In addition, there are various restrictions, such as noise and heat generation of the computer. The heat generated by the computer is bound to be caused by thermal device errors.

In addition, another method that is used to utilize the living room television in the home is another computer in another room without adding a separate graphics card and sound card Super video terminal (S3 terminal) of the existing graphics card Or, you can use the DVI terminal to connect the sound card and the thick cable to the living room television.

This method is mainly used for watching videos, and after viewing the video, it is a hassle to remove the cable and store it separately, and to separate it from the computer again. In some cases, the thick cable is used to fix it along the wall, but it is not aesthetically pleasing and costs a lot of cable.

In addition, there is a fatal problem when using the DVI or Super Video terminal of the computer via a cable. That is, if the living room TV is powered on and the computer is powered, the auxiliary video devices (DVI, S3) of the graphics card installed in the computer are not activated. In this case, there is a fatal problem that the auxiliary graphic device is recognized when the computer is required to operate or when the living room TV is turned on and the computer is rebooted again.

In addition, the KVM extender can be used to facilitate the construction of the cable, but only the construction of the cable can be made convenient, and it does not solve all the problems that occur when using the cable.

In addition, when a USB input device is added, the TV can be controlled in the living room. However, when the living room television is used as the computer while the computer in the other room is used, duplicate screens, keyboard and mouse operations, and sound duplication appear. Therefore, the screens can be displayed differently, but when the keyboard and mouse are operated, neither one can control the keyboard mouse. In other words, if you use it in one of the room or living room, you can't use the other one, it only serves as a simple monitor. If you're in a video lecture in your room, you'll need to stop your video lesson in your living room and play 3D games in your living room to play 3D games on your television. In addition, if you are browsing the Internet on the living room TV, if you want to work on a computer, such as PowerPoint in the room, you have to work on the computer after finishing the Internet search in the living room.

On the other hand, the home PC environment that is already prevalent, the graphics card is often onboard or single, but the PC equipped with the onboard or single graphics card has a critical problem that can not be operated in multiple. In order to use it as a multi, you need to install an additional graphic card, but when you add a graphic card and use it as a multi, you cannot take measures against it when you cannot operate the multi due to unstable risk factors such as body virus and unknown operating system error. not. This has a serious problem that the PC function of the TV connected to the PC is lost. As a result, TV manufacturers, IPTV companies, and cable TV companies want to commercialize PC-functional products, but they are unable to adopt them due to unstable risk factors such as various kinds of graphics cards, main body viruses, and unknown operating system errors. There is a situation.

Others buy their own computers, place them next to their living room televisions, and use them as monitors. The number is growing and is also available in HTPC models. However, the burden of purchasing and using one more computer at home is not only an economic burden, but also has disadvantages such as additional electric charges and replacement costs after a certain period of time.

In addition, even if the user is uncomfortable, the resolution and sound environment of the PC user and the TV user are different.

In other words, in case of resolution setting, right-click on the desktop-> click Properties on the pop-up menu-> click on the Settings tab-> Settings tab-> redo the various steps like changing the resolution for your environment For sound settings, set the sound device to "A or B" in the Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Sounds and Audio Devices-> Audio tab-> Default device list box. In the list box, set the sound device to "A or B"-> Voice tab-> Set the sound device to "A or B" in the list box.-> Set the sound device to "A or B" Set to B "-> Apply, check, etc. As described above, the resolution and sound settings need to be reset every time.

In addition, to use a television and a computer at the same time, the current TV is equipped with an RGB Jenda port for connecting with a computer, so that the television and the computer can be used simultaneously as long as the computer is installed next to the television. In order to connect the TV in the living room with the computer in the other room, the cable length of 30m or more is required in the structure of the home.

In addition, in order to use the multi-user mode while using the duplicate mode, the mode changeover switch 2 or the mode changeover switch 34 blocks the video signal coming through the D-SUB port 1 from the mode changeover section 5 and DVI By activating the video signal coming through the integrated input port (3) and transmits the video signal to the RJ45 output port (4) to the RX device 51 through the signal processor (6).

The transmitted video signal is allocated to the image processor 22 of the TV through the signal processor 23 of the RX apparatus 51. The transmitted USB signal activates the USB port 32 through the USB hub 26, and the activated USB port 32 assigns a wired or wireless input device to the TV, and the transmitted USB signal is a USB hub 26. By activating the sound chip of the sound processor 27 through the voice and microphone functions are assigned to the TV.

The video extension mode is applied in the same way as the multi mode and can be used as the video extension mode when the multi mode is lost.

In addition, the RX device 51 having such a configuration may be embedded in a set top box as shown in FIG. 6, or embedded in a television as shown in FIG. 7, and may be separately manufactured and separately mounted outside the television.

In addition, a communication chip or the like can be integrated into the television board without having a separate communication unit inside the television. At this time, the GND terminal can be installed at any part of the TV.

Here, FIG. 7 is a block diagram schematically showing that the RX device of the present invention is incorporated in a television.

4 is a diagram for describing an image processing system according to another exemplary embodiment.

In the case of Fig. 4, a computer 55 is provided in the bedroom, and a television 53 such as an LCD television or a PDP TV connected to the computer 55 through the TX device 52 and the RX device 51 is provided in the living room. It is.

Therefore, when the first user is using the computer 55 in the bedroom, the second user in the living room at the same time as the first user in the bedroom is connected to the TV control keyboard 56 and the TV control mouse 57 according to the present invention. Search, play video, work, powerpoint work, and 3D games can be used simultaneously as each independent computer without being influenced by the first user of the bedroom.

In other words, when the first user is playing a 3D game in the bedroom, the second user can search the Internet and work on documents in the living room, and when the first user is listening to the video lecture in the bedroom, the second user is You can watch videos, browse the Internet, play 3D games, etc., and simultaneously provide a variety of computing environments.

Here, in addition to a program that requires an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, such as an internet search or a document operation, a special input device such as a haptic mouse may be used instead of the keyboard and a mouse when playing a game.

In addition, when the user selects the PC, TV switching menu 814 through the TVJet 800, a sound and a resolution suitable for the PC or the TV are automatically set and executed.

Normally, since the user environment of the monitor 54 and the TV 53 connected to the personal computer 55 are different, they appear different in the TV 53 when the resolution set in the monitor 54 is applied to the TV 53 as it is. That is, those that appear clearly on the screen of the monitor 54 may appear blurry on the TV 53 screen. Because the resolution mode set for the monitor 54 is set to the replica mode of the present invention, since the output is output to the TV 53 at the same resolution as that of the monitor 54, a separate resolution for the TV 53 is artificially changed. In other words, right-click on the desktop-> click Properties on the popup menu-> click on the Properties tab of the display-> click the Settings tab-> cumbersome tasks that need to be executed again, such as changing the resolution for your environment This is necessary.

In addition, the user of the personal computer 55 and the user of the TV 53 must have a sound card in order to listen to the sound. In the duplication function, the user of the TV 53 outputs the sound to the TV to listen using only one sound card. In order to do this, a separate sound-only cable must be provided and installed. Computer users and TV users must repeatedly insert and unplug the PC sound port. To solve this problem, a separate USB sound device is provided in the RX device 51 so that the computer monitor user can listen to the sound using the sound device installed in the main body, and the TV user can listen to the sound using the sound device of the RX device 51. Can be. However, in the clone mode, even if two sound cards are set in one computer, the sound setting environment of the Windows system can be set by only one sound device, so the sound setting environment of computer users and TV users is different. There is a hassle that the TV user has to reset each time each use.

For example, when the sound card mounted inside the personal computer 55 is called "A" and the sound card mounted on the RX device 51 is called "B", the computer user needs to execute a program to hear the sound. Click Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Sounds and Audio Devices and click the mouse several times directly to execute Sound and Audio Device Setting Mode. Check if the sound card of computer user is set to "A". If your sound card is set to "B", you should change the sound card setting to "A". In other words, set the sound device to “A” in the default device list box of Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Sounds and Audio Devices-> Audio tab-> Play sound. Set to “A”-> Voice tab-> Set sound device to “A” in the default device list box of voice playback-> Set the default device sound device to “A”-> Apply and confirm Change the sound settings.

In addition, when a TV user wants to use a computer using a TV, in order to check whether the sound card is properly set, it is necessary to execute the sound and audio setting screen as described above. If the setting is set to sound “A”, set the sound device to “B” in the default device list box in Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Sounds and Audio Devices-> Audio tab-> Sound Playback. Set the sound device to “B” in the basic device list box-> Set the sound device to “B” in the main device list box in the Voice tab-> Voice playback-> Set the sound device to “B” in the main device list box -> Change the sound settings by applying and confirming.

In other words, the user has to set the sound and audio settings and resolutions according to the environment. However, since the setting steps provided by the current window system are complicated, there are some difficulties for the general user. In addition, even if you are an expert, it is very inconvenient to the user by setting the settings that go through several steps every time, and users who are not familiar with computer use have a difficult problem of setting themselves. In order to solve such a problem, the present invention uses a TV-GET program that controls the sound processor 27 of the RX apparatus 51. The TV-GET program automatically selects a PC and TV related menu 814, which is a menu inside the TV-GET, and automatically monitors the signal generator and the sound and resolution of the image processing apparatus. It is a program to be set according to. Therefore, by using the TV-JET of the configuration of the present invention solves the conventional problem by automating the hassle of the conventional method that the user must set the sound and audio settings and resolution to suit the environment every time.

In addition, when the user sets the sound and resolution, the user may set a specific key on the keyboard or the remote controller instead of the switching menu 814.

On the other hand, when the user using the computer 55 in the computer 55 in another room, and the television user issues a shutdown command to the computer 55 through the television, the computer 55 is not connected to the user of the television 53. After checking the window processor, if the other user's processor is found to be in use, only the television screen of the television user who issued the shutdown command is automatically logged off, and other users can use the computer 55 without any restriction.

If no other user's Windows processor is running, the computer automatically shuts down the entire system. Also, if a user in another room gives the computer a shutdown command before the television user, it checks the television user's window processor and automatically logs off the monitor screen of the other user who issued the shutdown command if the television user's processor is found to be in use. The television user can use the computer without any restrictions and if the window user's window processor is not running, the computer automatically shuts down the entire system.

As in the embodiment of the present invention, the television in the living room is used not only as an equipment for viewing images but also as a video output device for a game and an output device for use as a screen of a computer. It can be as effective as an additional computer.

Therefore, the set top box 60 of FIG. 6 includes an RX device 51 and may be configured to be connected to a TV, or may be used in connection with a media player device such as a DIVX device, and is not included in a TV or a set top box. A separate TX device 52 and RX device 51 may be used to connect to the TV.

Meanwhile, in the image processing system according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12, communication between the first communication unit 52 and the second communication unit 51 is performed by eight UTP cables 900. 6 lines 901 should transmit a video signal, and 2 lines 902 should transmit a USB signal.

The video signal using six lines can transmit data to the remote without significant deterioration of the video signal, but the USB signal needs to transmit the USB signal to the long distance. It is difficult to transmit power ON and OFF signals.

A GROUND environment is necessary to transmit USB signals in two ways. Here, the GROUND environment is a communication line that is necessary to distinguish the D + value and the D-value signal for data transmission of the USB signal. In the absence of the GROUND environment, the USB signal loses data regardless of distance. Therefore, when the present invention is not applied, as shown in FIG. 10, the cable 1000 should be used.

In addition, a special dedicated cable must be manufactured and used for stable data transmission. In other words, a special dedicated cable is required to smoothly drive the video signal and the USB signal since the GND signal must be transmitted together with the USB signal.

That is, the FTP cable 1000, not the general Internet cable 900, is required to send the video signal of 6 wires 1001, the USB signal of 2 wires 1002, and the GND signal of 1 wire 1003.

Also, even if you use ordinary FTP cable, many of the existing FTP cables are not able to handle perfect GROUND environment.

Therefore, there is a problem of using a dedicated cable that completely processes the GND signal, and there are disadvantages of removing the UTP cable 900 already installed in the home and reworking the FTP cable 1000 or the dedicated cable.

Therefore, in order to supply the product of the present invention to each household using an FTP cable or a dedicated cable, the cable construction must be renewed, so that not only the product value is lowered but also the supply itself may not be possible depending on the home environment. In other words, since the home environment required by the product of the present invention is almost all homes already have eight wires of general UTP cable 700 embedded in the existing infrastructure, the new dedicated to smoothly drive the product according to the present invention. There is a difficulty in laying cables.

In addition, even if the GROUND environment is made using the FTP cable (1000) and other cables, it is difficult to send the USB signal about 30m. In other words, the signal may be cut off frequently and anxious, making it impossible to see computer work on television.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem, the present invention requires a GROUND environment which is a necessary part for transmitting the USB signal to the two lines 902-1. Therefore, it is necessary to use more than 9 cables, that is, FTP cable (1000) or to make a special dedicated cable for more stable data transmission. Instead of the cable (1003) for GND (GROUND) of the FTP cable (1000), the existing UTP cable 2 Using the retrofit 902-1 for the USB signal and using the TV antenna cable 1100 as the GND creates a more stable environment of the TV antenna cable than any specially manufactured cable.

In any home, the TV antenna cable 1100 is essentially installed in the living room and each room. In addition, since the TV antenna cable is installed around the TV, the GND terminal 35 of the RX unit 51 is connected to the TV antenna cable 1102 of the rear of the TV with a simple cable, and the GND terminal of the TX unit 52 ( 11) is connected to the TV antenna cable (1101) of the room where the PC (55) is installed by using a general simple cable, because the TV antenna cable of the home is connected to the living room in the home and the whole room, the TX device 52 and the RX device (51). ) GROUND is perfect.

As described above, the GROUND environment is created using an FTP cable and other cables, but it is difficult to send a USB signal about 30m. In other words, the signal is often cut off and anxious, making it impossible to do computer work on television.

The TV antenna cable 1100 is made of coaxial cable, and the covering surrounding the cable is perfectly formed so that a more stable GROUND is formed, and thus, the present invention is required while maintaining the existing communication infrastructure UTP cable 900 as it is. The long distance USB signal between the TX device, that is, the first communication unit 52 and the RX device, that is, the second communication unit 51 can be stably transmitted.

In other words, if the TV antenna cable is used as the GND cable, the UTP cable already installed in the existing home can be used without installing a communication cable in the home.

In addition, depending on the environment of the home, TV antenna cable is somewhat unstable, but can be used as a GROUND cable by using a telephone cable or an electric cable already buried in the home. In other words. Using the existing UTP cable (900-1) installed in the home as the communication line of the present invention and connect the TV antenna cable (1100) with the GND terminal (11,35) of the present invention to easily build equipment according to the present invention can do.

In addition, since the existing use of the UTP cable 900 installed in the home as it will be able to easily build the equipment of the present invention in any home.

In addition, when the RX device, that is, the second communication unit 51 is commercialized as a TV built-in type, a GROUND environment is necessary for communicating USB signals between the first communication unit 52 and the second communication unit 51 built in the TV. In this case, since a total of 9 cables of video signal 6 wire 1001, USB signal 2 wire 1002, and GND signal 1 wire 1003 are required, the FTP cable 1000 of FIG. 10 is used or a dedicated cable is manufactured. Although it should be used, as shown in Figure 11 of the present invention, the existing UTP cable 900 embedded in the home is used as it is, that is, six wires (901-1) of the eight wire (900-1) of the UTP cable is dedicated to the image, The two lines 902-1 are used exclusively for USB, and the TV antenna cable 1101 of the PC side of the TV antenna cables 1100 embedded in the living room and each room in the existing home is connected to the GND terminal of the first communication unit 52. And the GND terminal 35 of the second communication unit 51 and the TV antenna cable connection unit 1201 of the rear side of the TV 1200. Connect to any part of the TV antenna cable (1100) can build a complete GROUND environment.

As described above, according to the present invention, a television in a living room is connected to a computer in another room by using a UTP cable, so that the computer can be used directly through the television or at the same time with the computer user of another room via the television. In the image processing system that combines TV and PC functions for document, 3D games, Internet, etc., if there is no ground wire inside the UTP cable, the TV processing process is performed using the TV antenna cable embedded in the wall of the home. The ground processing function video processing system and method thereof can be realized.

As those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may implement the present invention in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative and not restrictive in all aspects.
