The display and information devices (such as personal computers) have adopted the display information channel ( The Display Data Channel (DDC) communicates the r format (eg, resolution) of the appropriate video signal and uses the video signal format described in Extended Disp_Identification Data (EDID) for video format communication. It can also be called display information video format communication is usually requested by the computing device' and is replied by the display. After the above communication is completed, the computing device outputs a suitable image (video outlJ) according to the obtained information. For example, the resolution is up to the display. That is to say, the user does not have to adjust the resolution of the output β to match the resolution. For the personal computer to be interfaced, the machine will automatically set the quality of the two different degrees of ruggedness to the appropriate resolution. However, for a home TM switcher or a coffee switcher, even a single = video switcher' Both the display and the computing device are indirectly transmitted through the 让 or _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. Even if it is impossible to make a simple one, the means to solve the younger brother--a computed computing device will directly take the ^ brother's real deletion information in the direct pickup display, 6 200825745 . But Some information is stored and provided to other computing devices. Other computing devices still can only obtain preset, simulated coffee. However, when the display is replaced midway, the device must be decorated with the squaring device. However, sometimes the above communication cannot be successfully completed even if the power is turned on again. [Disclosure] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a processing device for providing real-life service and computer switching thereof. The device (10)) separately collects the EDID of the display and the computing device in real time and provides it to the computing device and the display device at an appropriate timing.

本發明即啸健實資敵處理健10主要可即時地提供 顯示器24(-台或是更多台）的顯示器資訊(㈣獅心咖 Ident^cat· Data，EDID)給複數個運算裝置26a〜2此。為了達 f提供真實麵給運算褒i26a〜26b，本發明_裝置 10中的取 :模組18會在取得顯示器24的麵之後，絲存在顯示器資訊 倾庫2G中。顯示器資訊資料庫2()係儲存了複數筆顯示器資訊， 而每顯不β貝訊至少包含解析度。當該些個運算裝置2如〜2此 被啟動後’或疋制者鳩至特定運算裝置時，就可從顯示器資 料庫20巾取得相對於顯μ 24的真實之腿，柯再只是 u疋的解析度’或m台顯示器的解析度，以便能夠 8 200825745 輸出顯示器24能夠支援或是更合適的解析度的畫面。 如此一來，就算顯示器24被中途置換，仍可藉著微處理器16即 時察覺，並重新獲得新的EDID，而更新顯示器資訊資料庫2〇中的 貝料。然後，經微處理器16比較原先的edID之後，觸發通知模 、组22以螢幕上疊加顯示(On Screen Display，0SD)訊息顯示在顯 • 不器24上，來提示使用者進行更新運算裝置26a〜26b的視訊型 態，讓更新後的顯示器24與運算裝置25a〜26b做合適的配合，輸 ( 4與顯示合適賴像。底下，試著以運算裝置26a、顯示器24為 例，更詳細地就明如何進行上述比較判斷，以及完整的顯示器資 訊資料庫20的架構。 凊參閱第2圖’第2圖為即時提供真實顯示器資訊之示意圖。如 第2圖所不，針對運算裝置26a、顯示器24，顯示器資訊資料庫 20可進一步區分成運算裝置區域2〇a、顯示器區域2此。運算裝置 區域20a係儲存該些個運算裝置26a〜26b所使用或上一次使用的 ( 顯不器資訊，並在運算裝置施〜2613被啟動時，自動取得該顯示 器資訊。顯示器區域20b係儲存顯示器24的顯示器資訊，並在顯 不器24被啟動時，自動更新顯示器資訊。 對顯不裔24、運算裝置26a來說，雖然可共用相同記憶區域來儲 存EDID，但是萬一顯示器24、運算裝置26a都同時在更新記憶區 域中的EDID時，就容易發生錯亂現象。為了避免這個問題，在本 發明中特別設計成運算裝置區域2〇a、顯示器區域20b，其主要目 9 200825745 的是避免發生錯誤，以提高容錯能力。 舉例來說，若顯示器24被啟動後，微處理器ι6中的取得模組18 會取彳寸顯示器24的EDID並將之儲存至顯示器區域2〇b之中。由 於在-開始運算裝置區域施中並無任何資訊，故維護模組19會 在顯示器區域2Gb、運算裝置區域2〇a中的相對組的顯示器資訊不 相同時，以顯示器區域2〇b的顯示器資訊覆蓋掉運算裝置區域2〇a 中的顯示器資訊。如此-來，運算裝置26a便能順利取得顯示器 24喃科資訊’祕用正確或適當的解析度傳送視訊晝面。當 中途顯不器24被置換成顯示能力不相同的顯示器時，維護模組19 會在預定時間間隔時，判斷顯示器區域2〇b、運算裝置區域2此 中的顯示器資訊是否相同，而察覺到顯示器24被置換過，且再次 覆盖掉運算裝置2〇a中的顯示器資訊。只是，運算裝置施無法 自動地重新抓取這顯*器資訊，也只能透過通知模、址22通知使用 者進行更新程序。 ( 此外’本發明的處理裝置也仍應用至電腦切換裝置(KVM)中，但其 額外包含鍵盤介面（用來電性連接至鍵盤）、以及滑鼠介面（用來電 性連接至滑鼠）。 藉由以上概具體實施狀魏，鱗魏更加清楚描述本發明 之特徵與精神’㈣非以上述賴露的較健體實關來對本發 明^範加嫌制。相反地，其目的是希望能涵蓋各種改變及具 相等性的安排於本發明所欲申請之專麵_範嘴内。 200825745 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖為即時提供真實顯示器資訊之處理裝置的示意圖。 第2圖為即時提供真實顯示器資訊之示意圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 10即時提供真實顯示器資訊之處理裝置 12 VAG多工器 14 VGA/0SD選擇器 16微處理器 18取得模組18 20顯示器資訊資料庫20 10a運算裝置介面 26a〜26b運算裝置 10b顯示器介面 24顯示器 22通知模組 19維護模組 20a運算裝置區域 20b顯示器區域 11The invention is mainly capable of providing the display information of the display 24 (- or more) to the display device 24 (-), and to the plurality of computing devices 26a~ 2 this. In order to provide the real face calculations 26i26a~26b, the module 18 of the present invention_device 10 will be present in the display information dump 2G after the face of the display 24 is obtained. The Display Information Library 2 () stores a plurality of display information, and each display does not include a resolution. When the computing devices 2 are activated, such as ~2, or the controller is connected to a specific computing device, the real legs relative to the display 24 can be obtained from the display database 20, and then only u疋The resolution 'or the resolution of m displays, so that 8 200825745 output display 24 can support or more suitable resolution of the screen. In this way, even if the display 24 is replaced midway, the microprocessor 16 can immediately detect and re-acquire the new EDID, and update the display material in the display information database. Then, after the microprocessor 16 compares the original edID, the notification mode and the group 22 are triggered to display the On Screen Display (OSD) message on the display device 24 to prompt the user to perform the update operation device 26a. The video type of ~26b allows the updated display 24 to be properly matched with the computing devices 25a-26b, and the display is adapted to display the appropriate image. Next, try to use the computing device 26a and the display 24 as an example, in more detail. It is clear how to make the above comparison judgment and the structure of the complete display information database 20. 凊 Refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of real-time providing real display information. As shown in Fig. 2, for computing device 26a, display 24, the display information database 20 can be further divided into the computing device area 2a, the display area 2. The computing device area 20a stores the information used by the computing devices 26a~26b or used last time (display device information, And the display information is automatically obtained when the computing device ～2613 is activated. The display area 20b stores the display information of the display 24 and is displayed in the display 24 When the time is up, the display information is automatically updated. For the display device 26a, although the same memory area can be shared to store the EDID, if the display 24 and the arithmetic unit 26a are simultaneously updating the EDID in the memory area, In order to avoid this problem, in the present invention, the computing device area 2a, the display area 20b is specifically designed, and the main purpose of the 200825745 is to avoid errors to improve fault tolerance. For example, if After the display 24 is activated, the acquisition module 18 in the microprocessor ι6 takes the EDID of the inch display 24 and stores it in the display area 2〇b. Since there is no information in the start-up computing device area Therefore, the maintenance module 19 overwrites the display information in the computing device area 2〇a with the display information of the display area 2〇b when the display information of the opposite group in the display area 2Gb and the computing device area 2a is different. In this way, the computing device 26a can smoothly obtain the display 24 information, and use the correct or appropriate resolution to transmit the video surface. When the way display device 24 is replaced with a display having different display capabilities, the maintenance module 19 determines whether the display information of the display area 2〇b and the computing device area 2 is the same at a predetermined time interval, and the display is perceived to be the same. 24 is replaced, and the display information in the computing device 2a is again covered. However, the computing device cannot automatically re-crawl the display information, and can only notify the user to update through the notification module and address 22. (In addition, the processing device of the present invention is still applied to a computer switching device (KVM), but additionally includes a keyboard interface (for electrically connecting to the keyboard), and a mouse interface (for electrically connecting to the mouse). . By way of the above detailed implementation of the Wei, Wei Wei, the characteristics and spirit of the present invention are more clearly described. (4) The invention is not limited by the above-mentioned physical fitness. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various changes and equivalent arrangements within the scope of the invention. 200825745 [Simple description of the diagram] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a processing device that provides real-time display information.
