Mobile phone to TV conversion combined with set-top box to expand AI devices

Abstract

This invention relates to a mobile phone-to-TV conversion device combined with a set-top box for AI expansion, mainly comprising a mobile phone, a main unit, a set-top box, and an AI expansion hardware module. The main unit has a slot for inserting the mobile phone and, through an internal circuit board with an image converter and HDMI control chip, converts the mobile phone's raw signal into a TV interface mode and outputs it through an HDMI output port, thus enabling the mobile phone to operate like a TV. The set-top box is electrically connected to the HDMI input port of the main unit to input external signals. The AI ​​expansion hardware module is electrically connected to the expansion port of the main unit and contains a neural network processor (NPU) and a sensory extender. Through the mobile phone, the main unit is transformed into a smart central control unit, and through external modules, it enhances generative AI computing, image recognition, and environmental perception capabilities, achieving physical integration of the mobile phone, the set-top box, and modular AI computing power.

Claims

1. A mobile phone-to-TV conversion device combined with a set-top box and AI expansion device, characterized in that it comprises: a mobile phone having a screen, the mobile phone serving as a core processor and providing raw signals; a host having a circuit board having an HDMI control chip and an image converter; the host having a slot for insertion into the mobile phone, and the host also having at least one USB-C port, an RJ45 network port, at least one expansion port, and an HDMI port electrically connected to the circuit board; the HDMI port including an HDMI output port and an HDMI input port; a set-top box electrically connected to the HDMI input port of the host; and an AI expansion hardware module electrically connected to the expansion port of the host, the AI ​​expansion hardware module internally comprising a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and a sensory expander; wherein, The mobile phone is plugged into the host and electrically connected to the USB-C port. The host converts the original signal of the mobile phone into a TV interface mode through the image converter and outputs it through the HDMI output port to realize the TV-like integrated operation of the mobile phone and to perform artificial intelligence (AI) calculations in collaboration with the mobile phone through the neural network processor.
