相似地,觸控面板模組170耦接至連接插槽110中的第二週邊腳位TP1。其中,第二周邊腳位TP1除了設置於第一連接面140的第三資料腳位DP3與第二電源腳位142之間以外,也會在第二連接面150的第三電源腳位151與第二資料腳位DP2之間設置另一個第二週邊腳位TP1,並且位於第一連接面140以及第二連接面150的第二週邊腳位TP1相互耦接。Similarly, the touch panel module 170 is coupled to the second peripheral foot TP1 in the connection slot 110. The second peripheral pin TP1 is disposed between the third data pin DP3 and the second power pin 142 of the first connection surface 140, and is also connected to the third power pin 151 of the second connection surface 150. Another second peripheral leg TP1 is disposed between the second data pin DP2, and the second peripheral leg TP1 of the first connecting face 140 and the second connecting face 150 are coupled to each other.

底座插槽210則更包括設置於第一側面220中第一供電腳位221與第一資料供應腳位DO1之間的第一周邊連接腳位CO1以及設置於第一側面220中第三資料供應腳位DO3與第二供電腳位222之間的第二周邊連接腳位TO1。The base slot 210 further includes a first peripheral connection pin CO1 disposed between the first power supply pin 221 and the first data supply pin DO1 in the first side 220 and a third data supply disposed in the first side 220 The second peripheral connection pin TO1 between the pin position DO3 and the second power supply pin position 222.

特別說明的是,為使連接插槽110以及底座插槽200的腳位能夠相對於中央線M而左右對齊,第一周邊腳位CP1、第二周邊腳位TP1、第一周邊連接腳位CO1以及第二周邊連接腳位TO1的接腳數量相同。於本實施例中,攝影機模組160以及觸控面板模組170皆符合通用序列匯流排(USB)格式,因此接腳數量皆為4個,然並不限制於此。另外,本實施例中第一浮接腳位FLOAT1以及第二浮接腳位FLOAT2的接腳數量應等於各個電源腳位加上周邊腳位的數量。Specifically, in order to enable the connection slots 110 and the pins of the base slot 200 to be aligned to the left and right with respect to the center line M, the first peripheral pin CP1, the second peripheral pin TP1, and the first peripheral connecting pin CO1 And the number of pins of the second peripheral connection pin TO1 is the same. In this embodiment, the camera module 160 and the touch panel module 170 are all in accordance with the universal serial bus (USB) format, so the number of pins is four, but it is not limited thereto. In addition, the number of pins of the first floating pin FLOAT1 and the second floating pin FLOAT2 in this embodiment should be equal to the number of each power pin plus the surrounding pin.

發聲模組180(例如喇叭)則耦接至連接插槽110的音訊腳位AUX1。音訊腳位AUX1設置於第一連接面140的第一資料腳位DP1與第三資料腳位DP3之間以及第二連接面150的第二資料腳位DP2與第四資料腳位DP4之間。並且,底座插槽210更包括設置於第一側面220中第一資料供應腳位DO1與第三資料供應腳位DO3之間以及設置於第二側面230中第二資料供應腳位DO2與第四資料供應腳位DO4之間的音源腳位AUX2。藉此,無論液晶顯示模組100是正向或反向插入主機模組200,第一連接面140或是第二連接面150中的第一週邊腳位CP1其中之一必定耦接至底座插槽210中第一側面220的第一周邊連接腳位CO1。類似地,無論液晶顯示模組100是正向或反向插入主機模組200,第一連接面140或是第二連接面150中的第二週邊腳位TP1其中之一必定耦接至底座插槽210中第一側面220的第二周邊連接腳位TO1。因此,主機模組200 中的主機板便可透過連接插槽110及底座插槽210的相連而控制及存取液晶顯示模組100中攝影機模組160、觸控面板模組170以及發聲模組180的相關資料。The sound module 180 (for example, a speaker) is coupled to the audio pin AUX1 of the connection slot 110. The audio pin AUX1 is disposed between the first data pin DP1 and the third data pin DP3 of the first connection surface 140 and between the second data pin DP2 and the fourth data pin DP4 of the second connection surface 150. Moreover, the base slot 210 further includes a first data supply pin position DO1 and a third data supply pin position DO3 disposed in the first side surface 220 and a second data supply pin position DO2 and fourth disposed in the second side surface 230. The audio source pin AUX2 between the data supply pins DO4. Therefore, whether the liquid crystal display module 100 is inserted into the host module 200 in the forward or reverse direction, one of the first connection surface 140 or the first peripheral position CP1 of the second connection surface 150 must be coupled to the base slot. The first perimeter of the first side 220 of the 210 is coupled to the foot position CO1. Similarly, whether the liquid crystal display module 100 is inserted into the host module 200 in the forward or reverse direction, one of the first connection surface 140 or the second peripheral position TP1 of the second connection surface 150 must be coupled to the base slot. The second periphery of the first side 220 of the 210 is connected to the foot position TO1. Therefore, the host module 200 The motherboard can control and access the related information of the camera module 160, the touch panel module 170, and the sound module 180 in the liquid crystal display module 100 through the connection between the connection slot 110 and the base slot 210.

在此說明資料調整單元130如何利用第一偵測腳位DET1及第二偵測腳位DET2來判斷液晶顯示模組100是否正向插入主機模組200,圖3為本發明第一實施例中資料調整單元130的功能方塊圖。請參照圖3,資料調整單元130包括多路分配器310以及多工器320。多路分配器310耦接第一資料腳位DP1至第四資料腳位DP4以接收連接插槽110所傳送而來的資料135,換句話說,資料135包括由第一資料腳位DP1至第四資料腳位DP4所分別獲得的第一資料D1至第四資料D4。多路分配器310依據第一偵測腳位DET1與第二偵測腳位DET2以決定是否調整第一資料D1至第四資料D4的排列順序為第四資料D4、第三資料D3、第二資料D2以及第一資料D1,並產生排列後資料。多工器320則依據第一偵測腳位DET1與第二偵測腳位DET2以將所述的排列資料轉換為顯示資料125。Here, how the data adjustment unit 130 uses the first detection pin position DET1 and the second detection pin position DET2 to determine whether the liquid crystal display module 100 is inserted into the host module 200. FIG. 3 is the first embodiment of the present invention. A functional block diagram of the data adjustment unit 130. Referring to FIG. 3, the data adjustment unit 130 includes a demultiplexer 310 and a multiplexer 320. The demultiplexer 310 is coupled to the first data pin DP1 to the fourth data pin DP4 to receive the data 135 transmitted by the connection slot 110. In other words, the data 135 includes the first data pin DP1 to The first data D1 to the fourth data D4 respectively obtained by the data pin DP4. The demultiplexer 310 determines whether to adjust the order of the first data D1 to the fourth data D4 to be the fourth data D4, the third data D3, and the second according to the first detection pin position DET1 and the second detection pin position DET2. The data D2 and the first data D1 are generated, and the arranged data is generated. The multiplexer 320 converts the arranged data into the display material 125 according to the first detection pin position DET1 and the second detection pin position DET2.

在此詳細說明資料調整單元130的制動方式。請同時參照圖2及圖3,由上述連接插槽110及底座插槽210的揭示可知,當液晶顯示模組100正向插入主機模組200時,也就是液晶顯示模組100中連接插槽110的第一連接面140連接到主機模組200中底座插槽210的第一側面220、且連接插槽110的第二連接面150連接到底座插槽210的第二側面230時,位於第一連接面140上的第一偵測腳位 DET1將耦接至第二供電腳位222的電源輸出接腳P_OUT而接收到由主機模組200傳送給液晶顯示模組100的電源以形成邏輯”1”。另一方面,位於第二連接面150上的第二偵測腳位DET2則耦接至第一浮接腳位FLOAT1而形成浮接狀態。The braking method of the data adjustment unit 130 will be described in detail herein. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 simultaneously, it can be seen from the disclosure of the connection slot 110 and the base slot 210 that when the liquid crystal display module 100 is inserted into the host module 200, that is, the connection slot in the liquid crystal display module 100. When the first connection surface 140 of the connection module 110 is connected to the first side 220 of the base slot 210 of the host module 200, and the second connection surface 150 of the connection slot 110 is connected to the second side 230 of the base slot 210, The first detection pin on a connection surface 140 The DET 1 is coupled to the power output pin P_OUT of the second power supply pin 222 to receive the power transmitted from the host module 200 to the liquid crystal display module 100 to form a logic "1". On the other hand, the second detecting pin position DET2 located on the second connecting surface 150 is coupled to the first floating pin position FLOAT1 to form a floating state.

如此一來,當資料調整單元130偵測到第一偵測腳位DET1接收電源而成為邏輯”1”且第二偵測腳位DET2為浮接狀態時,資料調整單元130便判斷液晶顯示模組100的插入方向為正向。此時,由於第一連接面140的第一資料腳位DP1、第三資料腳位DP3分別連接到第一側面220的第一資料供應腳位DO1、第三資料供應腳位DO3,且第二連接面150的第二資料腳位DP2、第四資料腳位DP4分別連接到第二側面230的第二資料供應腳位DO2、第四資料供應腳位DO4,因此從第一資料腳位DP1至第四資料腳位DP4所獲得的資料D1~D4的排列順序正確,資料調整單元130無需重新排列資料D1~D4的順序。因此,多工器320在第一偵測腳位DET1接收電源而成為邏輯”1”且第二偵測腳位DET2為浮接狀態時,便接收第一匯流排312中的資料D1~D4並將這些資料D1~D4轉換為顯示資料125即可。In this way, when the data adjusting unit 130 detects that the first detecting pin DET1 receives the power and becomes the logic "1" and the second detecting pin DET2 is in the floating state, the data adjusting unit 130 determines the liquid crystal display mode. The insertion direction of the group 100 is positive. At this time, since the first data pin DP1 and the third data pin DP3 of the first connection surface 140 are respectively connected to the first data supply pin DO1 and the third data supply pin DO3 of the first side 220, and the second The second data pin DP2 and the fourth data pin DP4 of the connection surface 150 are respectively connected to the second data supply pin DO2 and the fourth data supply pin DO4 of the second side 230, so that the first data pin DP1 is The order of the data D1~D4 obtained by the fourth data pin DP4 is correct, and the data adjusting unit 130 does not need to rearrange the order of the data D1~D4. Therefore, when the first detecting pin DET1 receives the power and becomes the logic "1" and the second detecting pin DET2 is in the floating state, the multiplexer 320 receives the data D1~D4 in the first bus 312 and These data D1~D4 can be converted into display data 125.

相對地,當液晶顯示模組100反向插入主機模組200時,也就是在圖1中的液晶顯示模組100連接插槽110在180度轉向後,其第一連接面140連接到主機模組200中底座插槽210的第二側面230、且連接插槽110的第二連 接面150連接到底座插槽210的第一側面220時,位於第一連接面140上的第一偵測腳位DET1將耦接至第一浮接腳位FLOAT1而形成浮接狀態。另一方面,位於第二連接面150上的第二偵測腳位DET2則耦接至第二供電腳位222的電源輸出接腳P_OUT,因而接收到由主機模組200傳送給液晶顯示模組100的電源以形成邏輯”1”。In contrast, when the liquid crystal display module 100 is reversely inserted into the host module 200, that is, after the liquid crystal display module 100 of FIG. 1 is connected to the slot 110 at 180 degrees, the first connection surface 140 is connected to the host module. The second side 230 of the base slot 210 of the group 200 and the second connection of the slot 110 When the junction 150 is connected to the first side 220 of the base slot 210, the first detection pin DET1 on the first connection surface 140 is coupled to the first floating pin FLOAT1 to form a floating state. On the other hand, the second detecting pin DET2 located on the second connecting surface 150 is coupled to the power output pin P_OUT of the second power supply pin 222, and thus received by the host module 200 to the liquid crystal display module. The power supply of 100 is formed to form a logic "1".

如此一來,當資料調整單元130偵測到第一偵測腳位DET1為浮接且第二偵測腳位DET2接收電源而成為邏輯”1”時,資料調整單元130便判斷液晶顯示模組100的插入方向為正向。此時,第一連接面140的第一資料腳位DP1、第三資料腳位DP3分別連接到第二側面230的第四資料供應腳位DO4、第二供電腳位DO2,且第二連接面150的第二資料腳位DP2、第四資料腳位DP4分別連接到第三資料供應腳位DO3、第一資料供應腳位DO1。因此,從第一資料腳位DP1至第四資料腳位DP4所獲得的資料D1~D4的排列順序將會顛倒。In this way, when the data adjusting unit 130 detects that the first detecting pin position DET1 is floating and the second detecting pin position DET2 receives the power and becomes a logic “1”, the data adjusting unit 130 determines the liquid crystal display module. The insertion direction of 100 is positive. At this time, the first data pin DP1 and the third data pin DP3 of the first connection surface 140 are respectively connected to the fourth data supply pin DO4 and the second power supply pin DO2 of the second side 230, and the second connection surface. The second data pin DP2 and the fourth data pin DP4 of 150 are respectively connected to the third data supply pin DO3 and the first data supply pin DO1. Therefore, the order of the data D1 to D4 obtained from the first data pin DP1 to the fourth data pin DP4 will be reversed.

有鑑於此,在圖3中,資料調整單元130中的多路分配器310將會把第一資料腳位DP1至第四資料腳位DP4分別獲得的第一資料D1至第四資料D4依照第四資料D4、第三資料D3、第二資料D2以及第一資料D1的順序重新進行排列,以在第二匯流排314中產生重新排列後的資料。多工器320則依據第一偵測腳位DET1與第二偵測腳位DET2以將在第二匯流排314中重新排列好的資料轉換為顯示資料125。因此,本發明實施例便可使液晶顯示 模組100符合視頻電子標準協會(VESA)所制定的嵌入式顯示埠(EDP)規格及相關規範,使其能夠以熱插拔形式從電腦系統中分離或插入電腦系統。In view of this, in FIG. 3, the demultiplexer 310 in the data adjusting unit 130 will select the first data D1 to the fourth data D4 respectively obtained from the first data bit DP1 to the fourth data pin DP4. The order of the four data D4, the third data D3, the second data D2, and the first data D1 is rearranged to generate rearranged data in the second bus 314. The multiplexer 320 converts the data rearranged in the second bus 314 into the display material 125 according to the first detection pin DET1 and the second detection pin DET2. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can make the liquid crystal display The module 100 conforms to the Embedded Display (EDP) specifications and specifications established by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) to enable it to be physically plugged or detached from a computer system.
