[Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of a portable computer in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of brevity, FIG. 2 shows the portable computer 20 with a working module 202 and a self-illuminating display 204. The operational module 202 can include a central processing unit (CPU), . The hidden body, the south bridge, the north bridge, the embedded controller (EC), etc. are used to implement the functions of the portable computer 20, and the details thereof are well known in the industry, and will not be described here. The self-luminous display 204 is coupled to the operating module 202 and includes a display 206 and a display controller 208. The display screen 2〇6 is composed of a self-luminous display element and is divided into a data display area 21A and a status display area 212. The self-luminous display element may be an organic light emitting diode (20113352 OLED), a plasma molecule or the like, without being limited thereto. The display controller 208 is coupled to the operation module 202 via a interface 214 for receiving an image data Img-data and a control signal, and driving the data display area 210 and the status display area 212 to respectively display the corresponding surface Img. And status information Sta. Therefore, the portable computer 20 can display the system status in a rich and diverse manner through the status display area 212 without adding additional LED lights and related circuits. Briefly, the display controller 208 receives the image data Img_data corresponding to the surface Img and the control signal Con corresponding to the status information sta through the interface 214, thereby driving the data display area 210 and the status display. The area 212 displays the screen Img and the status information Sta, respectively. Wherein, since the display screen 206 is displayed through the organic light emitting diode, the data display area 21 and the status display area 212 can respectively illuminate and display different colors, that is, the status display area 可 can be displayed in the data display area 210. When the face Img is displayed, the status information Sta is displayed. In other words, the display screen 206 can divide the status display area 212 (such as the lowermost rectangular _-shaped area or other part of the display screen 2 〇 6), and the status display area can be enriched according to the control signal c 〇 n Mode display status information Sta, such as system status (8 〇 4, 35), digital lock button status, case lock button status, battery status (charge, discharge), wireless network card status, Bluetooth status, system temperature, central processing Temperature, fan speed, date and time, etc. In this case, the portable computer 2G can display the system status in a rich and diverse manner through the status display area 212 without adding a light-emitting diode lamp and associated circuitry. 201131352 It is to be understood that FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can be modified differently without being limited thereto. For example, in FIG. 2, the interface 214 represents a signal connection between the operation module 2〇2 and the display controller 2〇8, in fact, it is not limited to a single-valve interface, but may also be The line or signal interface is composed, and according to different implementation manners, those skilled in the art can appropriately adjust the relevant operation mode to enable the display controller 2〇8 to correctly receive the image data Img__ and the control signal Con. For example, when the interface 214 is implemented by a single display interface (such as a low voltage differential signal), the display controller 2〇8 can receive a control signal by receiving a reseryed pin when receiving the image data Img_data, or Time Divisional method, receiving image data Img-data and control signals respectively
Con。反之,當介面214係以多個介面實現時,則可同時接收影像 資料Img—data及控制訊號c〇n。 在可攜式電腦20中,由於資料顯示區域21〇及狀態顯示區域 212可分別點亮,因此即使系統運作在低耗電模式下(如休眠狀態 S1〜S5)甚至關機狀態,狀態顯示區域212仍可點亮,以豐富多元 的方式顯示系統狀態。在此情形下,於可攜式電腦2〇對系統執行偵 錯(debug)指令時,偵錯指令之程式碼可直接透過運作模組2〇2 中之嵌入式控制器傳送至顯示屏2〇6,以進行偵錯,並由狀態顯示 區域212顯不狀態資訊sta (如偵錯結果),所以僅需操作於低耗電 模式下,不需將顯示屏206的自發光元件全部導通,以節省電源消 耗。如此一來,不僅不需偵錯卡,亦可省去原本快速週邊元件互連 (PCIExpress)插槽上用於偵錯的電路。更進一步地,本發明可讓 201131352 嵌入式控制器於狀態顯示區域212進行顯示,再加上嵌入式控制器 可,麵盤,因此可攜式電腦20可視為有兩台電腦,增加嵌二式控 制器操作的方便性,且可直接對嵌入式控制器執行所欲指令及動 作。因此,相較於習知技術,本發明不僅不需增加額外的發光二極 體燈及相關電路,亦不需偵錯卡及偵錯電路即可進行偵錯,更可以 增加使用廣度與節省電源消耗。 鲁 值得注意的是,本發明之主要精神,係將自發光顯示器的顯示 屏分割出一塊狀態顯示區域,用來根據控制訊號以豐富多元的方 式,獨立顯示狀態資訊。本領域具通常知識者當可依本發明之精神 加以修飾或變化,而不限於此。舉例來說,除了可攜式電腦外,其 它如手持設備、通信終端、儀器、儀表等可使用自發光顯示器的電 子裝置,皆屬本發明之範疇。再者,資料顯示區域21〇及狀態顯示 區域212可以彼此重疊,亦即狀態顯示區域212顯示内容係由晝面 Img與顯示狀態資訊Sta疊加而成。當然,資料顯示區域21〇及狀 ♦態顯不區域2!2亦可以彼此分開,卿資料顯示區域⑽及狀態顯 示區域212係分別專屬顯示畫面Img與顯示狀態資訊Sta。此外, 介面214可以是單一訊號介面’亦可以由多個訊號介面所組成,只 要顯示控制器208可正確接收到對應於晝面Img之影像資料 hg—data及對應於狀態資訊§ta之控制訊號c〇n即可。 因此’自發光顯示器204之顯示操作,可歸納為一顯示流程30, 如第3圖所示’其包含以下步驟: 201131352 步驟300 :開始。 7驟302 .將自發光顯示器2〇4之顯示屏2⑽分割為資料顯示 區域210及狀態顯示區域212。 ^驟304透過資料顯示區域210顯示畫面img。 >^驟306 ·透過狀態顯示區域212顯示狀態資訊 步驟308 :結束。 關於流程30可參考上魏明,在此不再贊述。 在1去技術中,液晶顯不器需單獨使用發光二鋪燈及相關電 路以心示系m不僅需增加額外的發光二極體燈及相關電路, 且僅能單調地以明滅或_方雜示系綠t。她之下,本發明 透過自發光7G件發光的顯不屏,分割出—塊狀態顯示區域,用來獨 立顯示狀㈣訊。如此-來,本發明不僅不需增加額外的發光二極 體燈及相關電路’即可透過狀態顯示區域以豐富多it的方式顯示系 統狀態,亦不需偵錯卡及偵錯電路即可進行偵錯,更可以增加使 廣度與節省電源消耗。 總而言之,本發明可以豐富多元的方式顯示系統狀態,更可以 增加使用廣度與節省電源消耗。 以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發 所做之均輕化娜飾1蘭本發明之涵蓋範圍。 - 201131352 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖為一習知技術中可攜式電腦之示意圖。 第2圖為本發明實施例之一可攜式電腦之功能方塊圖。 第3圖為本發明實施例之一顯示流程之示意圖。 【主要元件符號說明】Con. On the other hand, when the interface 214 is implemented by multiple interfaces, the image data Img_data and the control signal c〇n can be simultaneously received. In the portable computer 20, since the data display area 21 and the status display area 212 can be respectively illuminated, the status display area 212 is displayed even if the system operates in a low power consumption mode (eg, sleep states S1 to S5) or even a shutdown state. It can still be lit to display the system status in a rich and diverse way. In this case, when the portable computer executes a debug command on the system, the code of the debug command can be directly transmitted to the display 2 through the embedded controller in the operating module 2〇2. 6, to perform debugging, and the status display area 212 displays the status information sta (such as the debug result), so only need to operate in the low power consumption mode, and it is not necessary to turn on the self-luminous elements of the display 206 to Save power consumption. In this way, not only does not need to debug the card, but also the circuit for debugging on the original PCI Express slot. Furthermore, the present invention allows the 201131352 embedded controller to be displayed in the status display area 212, and the embedded controller can be used for the faceplate. Therefore, the portable computer 20 can be regarded as having two computers, and the embedded type II is added. The convenience of the controller operation, and can directly execute the desired instructions and actions on the embedded controller. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the invention not only does not need to add additional LED lights and related circuits, but also can detect errors without detecting the error card and the debugging circuit, and can increase the use breadth and save power. Consumption. It is worth noting that the main spirit of the present invention is to separate the display screen of the self-illuminating display into a state display area for independently displaying the status information according to the control signal in a rich and diverse manner. Those skilled in the art will be able to modify or change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, in addition to portable computers, other electronic devices such as handheld devices, communication terminals, instruments, meters, etc., which can use self-illuminating displays, are within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the data display area 21 and the status display area 212 may overlap each other, that is, the status display area 212 displays the content by superimposing the face Img and the display state information Sta. Of course, the data display area 21 and the state display area 2! 2 may be separated from each other, and the data display area (10) and the status display area 212 are exclusive display screens Img and display status information Sta, respectively. In addition, the interface 214 may be a single signal interface or may be composed of multiple signal interfaces, as long as the display controller 208 can correctly receive the image data hg_data corresponding to the surface Img and the control signal corresponding to the status information §ta C〇n can be. Therefore, the display operation of the self-luminous display 204 can be summarized as a display flow 30, as shown in Fig. 3, which includes the following steps: 201131352 Step 300: Start. Step 302: The display 2 (10) of the self-luminous display 2〇4 is divided into a data display area 210 and a status display area 212. Step 304 displays the screen img through the material display area 210. > Step 306 - Display status information through the status display area 212. Step 308: End. For the process 30, please refer to Wei Weiming, and I will not comment here. In the 1 go-to-technology, the liquid crystal display device needs to use the two-lamp light and the related circuit separately to not only add additional light-emitting diode lamps and related circuits, but also can only monotonously extinguish or _ square Show green t. Underneath, the present invention divides the block state display area through the display screen of the self-illuminating 7G device for independent display (four). In this way, the present invention can display the system state in a rich multi-it manner through the state display area without adding an additional light-emitting diode lamp and related circuits, and can be performed without a debug card and a debugging circuit. Debugging can increase the breadth and save power consumption. In summary, the present invention can display system status in a rich and diverse manner, and can increase the breadth of use and save power consumption. The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all of the lightening of the present invention is based on the scope of the present invention. - 201131352 [Simple description of the diagram] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a portable computer in a conventional technology.
