Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The display device 100 at least includes a display panel 110, a first connection port 120, a second connection port 130 and a peripheral interface module 140.

The display panel 110 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel, or a light emitting diode (LED) display panel, and is used to display images.

The first connection port 120 is, for example, a universal serial bus (USB) connection port, a wireless WiFi or a Bluetooth connection port, and is used to connect a peripheral device 102 in a wireless or wired manner. The peripheral device 102 is, for example, a USB mouse or a USB keyboard. Or other wireless mice or wireless keyboards with compatible interfaces with the first connection port 120.

The second connection port 130 is, for example, a Universal Serial Bus Type-C (USB-C) connection port for connecting to a host 104 (such as a computer host, a game console or a multimedia player). The host 104 can use the USB-C connection port Or a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) connection port provides an image to the display panel 110, and the display panel 110 displays the image.

The peripheral interface module 140 is, for example, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) module or a USB hub interface, which connects the first connection port 120 and the second connection port 130 . The peripheral interface module 140 can receive instructions from the peripheral device 102 and selectively perform a conversion function. In addition, the peripheral interface module 140 can also be connected to a processor 150 through a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) interface pin or an internal integrated circuit (I2C) interface pin. The processor 150 is used to selectively turn on and off the above-mentioned conversion function.

In one embodiment, when the peripheral device 102 sends a switching command, for example, the user presses a specific button of a mouse or keyboard, the peripheral device 102 provides a switching command to the processor 150 through the peripheral interface module 140, so that the processor 150 Turn on or off the conversion function of the peripheral interface module 140 . In one embodiment, the conversion function is, for example, a function related to shooting games. In some shooting games, in order to simulate the recoil of a gun only when firing, the crosshair in the screen will float upward due to the recoil, and Different types of guns will correspond to different center of sight displacements, so the user needs to turn on the gun pressing operation function to correct the position of the center of sight 114 in the shooting screen 111, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. In addition, the conversion function can also be used to change the first cursor displacement to the second cursor displacement when a gun change command is performed in the corresponding shooting game, so as to adjust the cursor displacement according to the recoil of each gun 112, but the present invention does not allow this. be limited; in another embodiment, when a shooting game is played on the host 104 and the gun changing function is performed, the processor 150 can determine the type of gun according to the block screen of the gun object in the screen and adjust the corresponding cursor displacement.

In one embodiment, the conversion function can convert a first command from the peripheral device 102 into a second command and send it to the host 104, where the first command is different from the second command. Taking a shooting game as an example, the first command is, for example, shooting, and the second command is, for example, shooting and a first cursor displacement. When the conversion function is not turned on, the first command of the peripheral device 102 can be directly transmitted to the host 104, and the in-game The gun is fired and the center of sight moves upward, causing the accuracy to decrease. When the conversion function is turned on, for example, through the setting of the gun through the host 104 or the processor 150, the instructions provided to the host 104 are shooting and a first cursor displacement. , can actively pull down the cursor position to achieve the gun pressing action. In addition, when the shooting game performs a gun change command, since the recoil of each gun is different, it can be adjusted according to the recoil of each gun. The whole cursor displacement, for example, changing the first cursor displacement to the second cursor displacement (that is, adjusting the pressure gun level). The greater the recoil, the greater the relative cursor displacement.

In another embodiment, the host 104 executes a fighting game, and can use continuous pressing of a plurality of specific keys to activate a special move. In the present invention, a keyboard is used as the peripheral device 102, and the first command is, for example, a first key command. For example, it is a single key press command, and the second command is, for example, a plural group of key press commands. The second command includes, for example, the sequence of key presses and individual key press times, and the conversion function can convert the first command from the keyboard into a second command and send it to the host 104 to execute shooting and cursor displacement. Therefore, the user only needs to press a single button to activate the special move, and it is more convenient to start it with one button without having to memorize the sequence of multiple buttons.

In addition, please refer to FIG. 1 . In one embodiment, the display device 100 may further include a memory 160 , such as a flash memory, a non-volatile memory or a hard disk. The memory 160 is coupled to the peripheral interface module 140, and the memory 160 is used to store a first conversion table. The user can build a first conversion table in the memory 160 corresponding to the conversion function for table lookup when performing conversion of predetermined instructions. Therefore, when the peripheral interface module 140 receives a first command from the peripheral device 102 and selectively performs a conversion function, the peripheral interface module 140 can read the corresponding second conversion table from the first conversion table according to the first command. The command is then sent to the host 104.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the communication module 170 inside the display device 100 of the present invention can receive the second conversion table through the host 104 and store the second conversion table in the memory 160 to replace the first conversion table. The communication module 170 is, for example, a radio frequency communication module, an optical fiber communication module or a wireless communication module. In one embodiment, the communication module 170 is a Bluetooth module. The user can use a device 106 with Bluetooth communication function (such as a mobile phone) to send the second conversion table to the communication module 170 and store it in the memory 160 to replace the first conversion table. When the second conversion table is stored in the memory 160, the peripheral interface module 140 no longer reads the corresponding second command from the first conversion table according to the first command, but reads the corresponding second command from the second conversion table according to the first command. The corresponding third command is then sent to the host 104 to execute a predetermined game function, such as shooting and cursor displacement (ie, gun pressing).

The second conversion table is, for example, a shortcut key macro, which is used to record the special skills or attack command sets of masters. For novice players, the second conversion table can be used to imitate the skills of masters, such as which button to press and how long to hold it. The sequence of key presses such as releasing the key and the individual key press times can be recorded through the shortcut key macro. In one embodiment, the third command is, for example, a plurality of keystroke instructions, such as A-F-K-B key combinations. The plurality of keystroke instructions further include the sequence of the plurality of keystrokes and the keystroke time of individual keys, so that novice players can quickly reach the expert level. .

Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 , which illustrate the position correction of the crosshair 114 of the shooting game in the shooting screen 111 . In Figure 2, the display panel 110 displays a shooting screen 111, and the shooting screen 111 has a crosshair 114. When the host 104 executes a shooting game program, it is affected by the recoil of the gun 112, causing the crosshair 114 to move upward along arrow A and unable to aim at the target. Therefore, in Figure 3, the processor 150 turns on the conversion function so that the peripheral interface module 140 can convert the shooting command into a shooting and cursor displacement command and send them to the host 104. Therefore, the host computer 104 can correct the position of the crosshair 114 in the shooting screen 111 according to the cursor displacement, so that the crosshair 114 can aim at the target after moving downward along the arrow B to continue shooting.

According to the display device according to the above embodiment of the present invention, there is no need to In order to perform certain specific functions, the game must be terminated through mouse or keyboard settings. Instead, the instructions are automatically converted through the built-in conversion table or an external conversion table to support the peripheral device to execute the predetermined game function, allowing the user to execute the function. The operation is more convenient and time-saving, and the effect is more obvious.
