Detailed Description

The embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the drawings, but the embodiments are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention, and the description of the structural operation is not intended to limit the execution sequence thereof, and any structure resulting from the rearrangement of components and having equivalent functions is within the scope of the present application.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image playing system and an image data transmission device and method having a synchronous data transmission mechanism, which can determine a timing difference between a primary image data transmission circuit and a secondary image data transmission circuit through signal transmission and time difference between the two circuits, and further adjust the timing of the secondary image data transmission circuit to align the timing of the primary image data transmission circuit, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronous data transmission.

Please refer to fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an image playback system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The video playback system 100 includes a video data transmission device 110 and a video data reception device 120.

In one embodiment, the video playback system 100 is, for example, but not limited to, a television. The image data transmission device 110 is a circuit configured to provide image data, and the image data reception device 120 is a panel configured to receive and play image data.

Under the trend of increasing panel size, the image data transmission device 110 often transmits a plurality of image data (not shown) to the image data receiving device 120 for displaying through different internal circuits and corresponding channels. Different image data correspond to different panel display regions, and may be received by different circuits and corresponding channels inside the data receiving device 120. Therefore, the image data transmission device 110 needs to have a synchronous data transmission mechanism, so that the image data receiving device 120 can receive and simultaneously display a plurality of image data signals according to a correct timing sequence to generate a correct picture.

The synchronous data transmission mechanism of the image data transmission device 110 will be described in more detail below.

The image data transmission device 110 includes: a primary video data transmission circuit 130A and a secondary video data transmission circuit 130B. The primary image data transmission circuit 130A is configured to generate and transmit a primary alignment signal ALA to the secondary image data transmission circuit 130B. The secondary image data transmission circuit 130B is configured to generate and transmit a secondary alignment signal ALB to the primary image data transmission circuit 130A. It should be understood that the terms "primary" and "secondary" are used herein only to distinguish between different circuits and signals transmitted thereby, and do not refer to differences in importance or quality of the circuits or signals themselves.

Please refer to fig. 2A. FIG. 2A is a timing diagram illustrating the transmission of the primary align signal ALA and the secondary align signal ALB between the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The primary alignment signal ALA and the secondary alignment signal ALB corresponding to the primary video data transmission circuit 130A are indicated by a bracket 130A in fig. 2, and the primary alignment signal ALA and the secondary alignment signal ALB corresponding to the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B are indicated by a bracket 130B in fig. 2.

The primary image data transmission circuit 130A is configured to generate and transmit a primary alignment signal ALA at a primary transmission time point PT and receive a secondary alignment signal ALB at a primary reception time point PR. Therefore, the main image data transmission circuit 130A can calculate the main time difference PD between the main transmission time point PT and the main reception time point PR.

Similarly, the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B is configured to generate and transmit the secondary alignment signal ALB at the secondary transmission time ST, and receive the primary alignment signal ALA at the secondary reception time SR. Therefore, the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B can calculate the secondary time difference SD between the secondary transmission time ST and the secondary reception time SR accordingly.

It should be noted that, since there is a delay in the signal transmission path between the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B, there is a delay time DL between the primary transmission time point PT of the primary alignment signal ALA transmitted by the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary reception time point SR received by the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B. Generally, the delay time DL is determined by the distance of the signal transmission path. Similarly, the delay time DL is also provided between the secondary transmission time ST of the secondary alignment signal ALB transmitted by the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B and the primary reception time PR received by the primary video data transmission circuit 130A.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2A, the time point (primary transmission time point PT) when the primary image data transmission circuit 130A generates the primary alignment signal ALA is earlier than the time point (secondary transmission time point ST) when the secondary image data transmission circuit 130B generates the secondary alignment signal ALB.

In such a case, the primary time difference PD between the primary transmission time PT and the primary reception time PR is greater than the secondary time difference SD between the secondary transmission time ST and the secondary reception time SR.

Therefore, when the primary time difference PD is greater than the secondary time difference SD, it can be determined that the timing of the primary image data transmission circuit 130A for generating the primary alignment signal ALA (hereinafter referred to as primary timing) is earlier than the timing of the secondary image data transmission circuit 130B for generating the secondary alignment signal ALB (hereinafter referred to as secondary timing). Therefore, the secondary timing corresponding to the secondary alignment signal ALB can be aligned with the primary timing corresponding to the primary alignment signal ALA by a timing adjustment amount adjusted in advance. In one embodiment, the timing adjustment is the difference between the main time difference PD and the delay time DL.

Please refer to fig. 2B. FIG. 2B is a timing diagram of the transmission of the primary align signal ALA and the secondary align signal ALB between the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The labeling manner and relationship between signals and circuits in fig. 2B are the same as those in fig. 2A, and therefore are not repeated. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2B, the time point (primary transmission time point PT) when the primary image data transmission circuit 130A generates the primary alignment signal ALA is later than the time point (secondary transmission time point ST) when the secondary image data transmission circuit 130B generates the secondary alignment signal ALB.

If the signal transmission paths have the same delay time DL, the primary time difference PD between the primary transmission time PT and the primary reception time PR is smaller than the secondary time difference SD between the secondary transmission time ST and the secondary reception time SR.

Therefore, when the primary time difference PD is smaller than the secondary time difference SD, it can be determined that the primary timing of the primary alignment signal ALA is later than the secondary timing of the secondary alignment signal ALB. Therefore, the secondary timing corresponding to the secondary alignment signal ALB can be aligned with the primary timing corresponding to the primary alignment signal ALA by a timing adjustment amount adjusted later. In one embodiment, the timing adjustment is the difference between the secondary time difference SD and the delay time DL.

Please refer to fig. 2C. FIG. 2C is a timing diagram of the transmission of the primary align signal ALA and the secondary align signal ALB between the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The labeling manner and relationship between signals and circuits in fig. 2C are the same as those in fig. 2A, and therefore are not described again. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2C, the time point (primary transmission time point PT) when the primary image data transmission circuit 130A generates the primary alignment signal ALA is equal to the time point (secondary transmission time point ST) when the secondary image data transmission circuit 130B generates the secondary alignment signal ALB.

If the signal transmission paths will have the same delay time DL, in such a case, the primary time difference PD between the primary transmission time point PT and the primary reception time point PR will be equal to the secondary time difference SD between the secondary transmission time point ST and the secondary reception time point SR.

Therefore, when the condition that the primary time difference PD is equal to the secondary time difference SD occurs, it can be determined that the primary timing of the primary alignment signal ALA is equal to the secondary timing of the secondary alignment signal ALB. Therefore, the timing adjustment amount will be 0 without adjusting the secondary timing corresponding to the secondary alignment signal ALB.

In one embodiment, the comparison between the primary time difference PD and the secondary time difference SD and the calculation of the timing adjustment are performed by the primary video data transmission circuit 130A.

In more detail, the primary video data transmission circuit 130A is configured to receive the secondary time difference SD from the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B, calculate a timing adjustment amount according to the primary time difference PD and the secondary time difference SD, and control the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B to adjust the secondary timing according to the timing adjustment amount.

In another embodiment, the comparison between the primary time difference PD and the secondary time difference SD and the calculation of the timing adjustment are performed by the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B.

In more detail, the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B is configured to receive the primary time difference PD from the primary video data transmission circuit 130A, to calculate a timing adjustment amount according to the primary time difference PD and the secondary time difference SD, and to adjust the secondary timing according to the timing adjustment amount.

Then, the main image data transmission circuit 130A sets the main timing of the main alignment signal ALA as the main data transmission timing. The secondary video data transmission circuit 130B uses the secondary timing of the secondary alignment signal ALB as the secondary data transmission timing after the timing adjustment.

Therefore, the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B perform synchronous video data transmission with the video data receiving device 120 according to the primary data transmission timing and the secondary data transmission timing, respectively, so that the video data receiving device 120 plays the video according to the two synchronous video data.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, a secondary image data transmission circuit is taken as an example for illustration. In other embodiments, the image data transmission device 110 may include a plurality of secondary image data transmission circuits, and each secondary image data transmission circuit may exchange alignment signals with the primary image data transmission circuit, and adjust the timing according to the relationship between the primary and secondary time differences after calculating the primary and secondary time differences according to the transmission time point and the reception time point. When the number of the primary image data transmission circuits and the secondary image data transmission circuits is N, the N image data transmission circuits and the primary image data transmission circuit can synchronously transmit the N image data. In addition, in the above embodiments, an example of the internal circuit of the image data receiving apparatus 120 is described. In other embodiments, the image data receiving device 120 may include a plurality of image data receiving circuits respectively coupled to a plurality of image data transmitting circuits of the image data transmitting device 110 through independent channels, so as to perform synchronous transmission of image data. In other words, the timing sequence can be aligned between the video data receiving circuits of the video data receiving apparatus 120 by a similar method to perform synchronous video data receiving.

Therefore, the image data transmission device of the invention can determine the time sequence difference between the primary and secondary image data transmission circuits through the signal transmission and the time difference calculation between the primary and secondary image data transmission circuits, and further adjust the time sequence of the secondary image data transmission circuit to align the time sequence of the primary image data transmission circuit, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronous data transmission.

Please refer to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an image data transmission method 300 with a synchronous data transmission mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition to the aforementioned apparatuses, the present invention further discloses an image data transmission method 300 with a synchronous data transmission mechanism, which is applied to, for example, but not limited to, the image data transmission apparatus 110 included in the image playing system 100 of fig. 1. One embodiment of a method 300 for transmitting image data is shown in FIG. 3, comprising the steps of:

in step S310: the main image data transmission circuit 130A generates and transmits the main alignment signal ALA at the main transmission time PT and receives the sub alignment signal ALB at the main reception time PR.

In step S320: the main image data transmission circuit 130A calculates a main time difference PD between the main transmission time point PT and the main reception time point PR.

In step S330: the main image data transmission circuit 130A makes the main timing of the main alignment signal ALA be the main data transmission timing.

In step S340: the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B generates and transmits the secondary alignment signal ALB at the secondary transmission time ST, and receives the primary alignment signal ALA at the secondary reception time SR.

In step S350: the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B calculates a secondary time difference SD between the secondary transmission time ST and the secondary reception time SR.

In step S360: the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B makes the secondary timing of the secondary alignment signal ALB as the secondary data transmission timing after being adjusted by the timing adjustment amount, wherein the timing adjustment amount is configured to adjust the primary time difference PD and the secondary time difference SD to be equal.

In step S370: the primary video data transmission circuit 130A and the secondary video data transmission circuit 130B perform synchronous video data transmission with the video data receiving device 120 according to the primary data transmission timing and the secondary data transmission timing, respectively, so that the video data receiving device 120 plays the video accordingly.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are only examples. In other embodiments, modifications can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In summary, the image playing system and the image data transmission device and method with the synchronous data transmission mechanism of the present invention can determine the timing difference between the primary and secondary image data transmission circuits through the signal transmission and the time difference between the two circuits, and further adjust the timing of the secondary image data transmission circuit to align the timing of the primary image data transmission circuit, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronous data transmission.
