[0042] Such as figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the structure of a split TV and routing system in the prior art. The split TV 100 separates the display unit 101 from the host unit 102, and the two are connected by a cable; some split TVs separate the display unit 101, the host unit 102, and the audio output unit 103 of the TV. It consists of the above three parts. The audio output unit 103 includes a left audio output unit 103a and a right audio output unit 103b, and the left and right audio output units can be set independently or integrated into one. The split TV 100 separates the display unit 101, the processing unit 102, and the audio output unit 103, breaking the traditional integrated structure model of the three TVs, solving many problems that traditional TVs cannot solve for a long time, and greatly improving the flat panel The TV's service life, sound effects, functional practicability, and the three major components can be freely combined and upgraded, realizing the personalized customization of the TV.

[0043] However, when the above-mentioned TV is installed in a smart home system, the host unit 102 needs to be connected to the audio output unit 103 and the routing unit 104 respectively, which is cumbersome to operate, and when the display unit 101, host unit 102, and audio output unit 103 After any one of the three is replaced, the connection needs to be re-established.

[0044] To solve the above-mentioned problem, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a TV routing system 200. Such as figure 2 As shown, the TV routing system 200 includes a display unit 201, a host unit 202 and an audio output unit 203. The display unit 201 is connected with the host unit 202, receives the video data sent by the host unit 202, and displays the video image. The audio output unit 203 is connected to the host unit 202, receives audio data sent by the host unit 202, and performs audio output. The display unit 201 and the host unit 202 may be connected in a wired or wireless manner. Similarly, the audio output unit 203 and the host unit 202 may be connected in a wired or wireless manner.
