Description
本發明係與視訊會議有關,尤其是關於一種視訊會議系統及其傳送端裝置。The invention relates to a video conference, in particular to a video conference system and its transmitting device.
近年來,拜網際網路及影音處理的迅速發展所賜,身處不同地方的多個使用者可透過例如是電腦、智慧型手機、平板電腦等電子裝置進行視訊的同步連線,而讓使用者之間進行語音通話時,亦能透過螢幕看到其它使用者的動態影像,以增強交流的真實感及臨場感。因此,同時具有影像及聲音傳輸的視訊會議(Video conference)已逐漸取代僅具有聲音傳輸的電話會議(Conference call),成為公司內部或不同公司之間常用且有效率的溝通方式。In recent years, thanks to the rapid development of the Internet and audio-visual processing, multiple users in different places can synchronize the video connection through electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. During a voice call between the two, they can also see the dynamic images of other users through the screen to enhance the realism and presence of the communication. Therefore, the video conference with both video and audio transmission has gradually replaced the conference call with audio transmission only, and has become a common and efficient communication method within the company or between different companies.
雖然視訊會議系統可讓所有的與會者突破空間的限制一起開會,但傳統的視訊會議系統仍存在諸多缺點,亟待改善。Although the video conferencing system allows all participants to break through the space limitation, the traditional video conferencing system still has many shortcomings and needs to be improved.
舉例而言,當傳統的視訊會議系統的傳送端裝置耦接至資訊處理裝置(例如筆記型電腦)時,仍需安裝、執行或設定特定的軟體或驅動程式,故視訊會議系統仍無法真正實現「隨插即用」的操作。此外,由於傳統的視訊會議系統無法與所有的作業系統及硬體平台均相容,導致不同的與會者使用不同的作業系統或硬體平台時,仍需資訊部門的支援才能順利進行視訊會議,相當不便。另外,在傳統的視訊會議系統中,當使用者欲在簡報模式與影音播放模式之間進行切換時,需先完成複雜的軟體設定,並且實際上的無線影音播放效果並不理想。For example, when the transmitting device of a traditional video conferencing system is coupled to an information processing device (such as a notebook computer), specific software or drivers still need to be installed, executed, or configured, so the video conferencing system still cannot be truly implemented "Plug and Play" operation. In addition, since the traditional video conference system is not compatible with all operating systems and hardware platforms, when different participants use different operating systems or hardware platforms, they still need the support of the information department to successfully conduct video conferences. Quite inconvenient. In addition, in the traditional video conferencing system, when the user wants to switch between the presentation mode and the video playback mode, complicated software settings need to be completed first, and the actual wireless video playback effect is not ideal.
有鑑於此,本發明提出一種視訊會議系統及其傳送端裝置,以有效解決先前技術所遭遇到之上述問題。In view of this, the present invention proposes a video conferencing system and its transmitting device to effectively solve the aforementioned problems encountered in the prior art.

關於本發明之優點與精神可以藉由以下的發明詳述及所附圖式得到進一步的瞭解。The advantages and spirit of the present invention can be further understood through the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.
根據本發明之一具體實施例為一種視訊會議系統。請參照圖1,圖1係繪示此實施例中之視訊會議系統1的功能方塊圖。A specific embodiment according to the present invention is a video conference system. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a functional block diagram of the
如圖1所示,視訊會議系統1耦接於資訊處理裝置PC與顯示裝置DP之間。視訊會議系統1包括傳送端裝置TX及接收端裝置RX。傳送端裝置TX耦接資訊處理裝置PC。接收端裝置RX耦接顯示裝置DP。As shown in FIG. 1, the
當傳送端裝置TX耦接至資訊處理裝置PC時,傳送端裝置TX會傳送延伸顯示識別資料EDID至資訊處理裝置PC,致使資訊處理裝置PC會根據傳送端裝置TX傳送的延伸顯示識別資料EDID將傳送端裝置TX辨識為虛擬顯示裝置。When the transmitting device TX is coupled to the information processing device PC, the transmitting device TX will send the extended display identification data EDID to the information processing device PC, so that the information processing device PC will send the extended display identification data EDID according to the transmission device TX The transmitting device TX is recognized as a virtual display device.
於實際應用中,延伸顯示識別資料EDID可儲存於傳送端裝置TX內,或可由接收端裝置RX取得顯示裝置DP的顯示識別資料EDID後提供顯示識別資料EDID給傳送端裝置TX,但不以此為限。當傳送端裝置TX傳送延伸顯示識別資料EDID至資訊處理裝置PC時,資訊處理裝置PC可透過其顯示卡之視訊介面與延伸顯示識別資料EDID進行標準交換,但不以此為限。In practical applications, the extended display identification data EDID can be stored in the transmitter device TX, or the receiver device RX can obtain the display identification data EDID of the display device DP and provide the display identification data EDID to the transmitter device TX, but not Limited. When the transmitting-end device TX transmits the extended display identification data EDID to the information processing device PC, the information processing device PC can perform standard exchange with the extended display identification data EDID through the video interface of its display card, but not limited to this.
當資訊處理裝置PC將傳送端裝置TX辨識為虛擬顯示裝置時,資訊處理裝置PC會提供影像訊號IMG給傳送端裝置TX,並透過傳送端裝置TX無線輸出影像訊號IMG。當接收端裝置RX無線接收到傳送端裝置TX傳送的影像訊號IMG時,接收端裝置RX將影像訊號IMG提供至顯示裝置DP,以供顯示裝置DP顯示或投影之用。When the information processing device PC recognizes the transmitting device TX as a virtual display device, the information processing device PC provides an image signal IMG to the transmitting device TX, and wirelessly outputs the image signal IMG through the transmitting device TX. When the receiving device RX wirelessly receives the image signal IMG transmitted by the transmitting device TX, the receiving device RX provides the image signal IMG to the display device DP for display or projection by the display device DP.
於實際應用中,若資訊處理裝置PC輸出至傳送端裝置TX的影像訊號IMG具有第一解析度(例如1080p),且接收端裝置RX輸出至顯示裝置DP的影像訊號具有第二解析度(例如720p)。當傳送端裝置TX接收到來自資訊處理裝置PC的具有第一解析度(例如1080p)的影像訊號IMG時,傳送端裝置TX無線輸出具有第一解析度(例如1080p)的影像訊號IMG至接收端裝置RX。當接收端裝置RX接收到來自傳送端裝置TX的具有第一解析度(例如1080p)的影像訊號IMG時,係由接收端裝置RX執行影像訊號IMG的縮放(Scaling),例如將影像訊號IMG的解析度由第一解析度(例如1080p)調整為接收端裝置RX指定之第二解析度(例如720p),然後再由接收端裝置RX輸出具有第二解析度(例如720p)的影像訊號IMG至顯示裝置DP。補充說明,第二解析度可以大於第一解析度,例如第二解析度(例如4Kp)可以大於第一解析度(例如1080p)。需說明的是,此實施例係由接收端裝置RX執行影像訊號IMG的縮放(Scaling),但不以此為限。In practical applications, if the image signal IMG output from the information processing device PC to the transmitting device TX has a first resolution (eg 1080p), and the image signal output from the receiving device RX to the display device DP has a second resolution (eg 720p). When the transmitting device TX receives the image signal IMG with the first resolution (eg 1080p) from the information processing device PC, the transmitting device TX wirelessly outputs the image signal IMG with the first resolution (eg 1080p) to the receiving end Device RX. When the receiving device RX receives the image signal IMG with the first resolution (for example, 1080p) from the transmitting device TX, the receiving device RX performs the scaling of the image signal IMG, for example, the image signal IMG The resolution is adjusted from the first resolution (eg 1080p) to the second resolution (eg 720p) specified by the receiving device RX, and then the receiving device RX outputs the image signal IMG with the second resolution (eg 720p) to Display device DP. It is added that the second resolution may be greater than the first resolution, for example, the second resolution (eg 4Kp) may be greater than the first resolution (eg 1080p). It should be noted that in this embodiment, the receiving device RX performs the scaling of the image signal IMG, but it is not limited to this.
