Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production automation, and in particular to a method and a system for realizing automatic EDID update of a production line. Background Art

[0002] Since EDID contains variable information such as the serial number of the display, the year and week of manufacture, etc., EDID needs to be burned in real time on the production line. The first release of EDID and upgrade changes require engineers to copy EDID to the PCs corresponding to each station on the production line in a timely manner so that production can proceed smoothly and in a timely manner. Manually copying EDID to the production line using a USB flash drive has poor timeliness and is prone to spreading viruses. There are many EDID burning stations on the production line, and manual copying is also prone to omissions. If an EDID upgrade or change is encountered, it is difficult to find the omission problem. These problems can easily lead to production line shutdown or EDID writing errors that need to be rewritten. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for automatically updating EDID of a production line, thereby realizing automatic updating of EDID of a production line, improving the timeliness of EDID release, and avoiding errors and omissions in manual copying.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A method for realizing automatic EDID update of a production line comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Configure the EDID storage path and server login account password on the server, and open the server upload and download permissions;

[0007] Step 2, create EDID and package it into EDID data packets and store them on the FTP server;

[0008] Step 3, maintaining the latest detailed information of each EDID to be released on the site management system SFIS;

[0009] Step 4: The burning terminal runs the EDID writing program and selects the corresponding EDID according to the detailed information of the EDID;

[0010] Step 5, the EDID writing program queries the field management system SFIS based on the selected EDID to determine whether the EDID version corresponding to the field management system SFIS is greater than the local EDID version; if yes, it prompts that the EDID needs to be updated and runs the download program to update the EDID. After the update is completed and the download program is exited, step 6 is executed; otherwise, step 6 is executed;

[0011] Step 6: The EDID writing program continues to select the corresponding EDID for writing.

[0012] Furthermore, in step 1, the account and password required for logging into the server are configured on the server at the same time, and are synchronously updated to the field management system SFIS.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 2, the EDID is packaged into a ZIP format, and the EDID data packet is named according to the set naming rule.

[0014] Specifically, as an implementation method, the EDID data packet is named according to the format of release year, month, day and version.

[0015] Furthermore, the detailed information in step 3 includes customer code, production code, model and version.

[0016] Further, the EDID version maintenance rule in step 3 is the same as the EDID data packet naming rule of the server side. Specifically, as an implementation method, the EDID data packet naming rule adopts a naming rule of four digits for year, two digits for month, two digits for day and two digits for version.

[0017] Furthermore, the specific steps for downloading the program to update EDID in step 5 are as follows:

[0018] Step 5-1, when the download program is running, first obtain the IP address and login account password from the field management system SFIS;

[0019] Step 5-2, the download program determines whether the corresponding IP address and login account password are obtained; if yes, the download program preferentially uses the obtained IP address and login account password to connect to the server; otherwise, the account password in the local configuration file of the burning terminal is used to connect to the server;

[0020] Step 5-3, download the latest EDID data package from the server and delete the EDID file of the burning terminal;

[0021] Step 5-4, decompress the EDID data packet to the burning terminal, complete the update and upload the log to the server.

[0022] Furthermore, in step 5, when the EDID version in the field management system SFIS is higher than the EDID version in the local computer, the EDID writing program pops up a dialog box prompting that the EDID needs to be updated, and the operator chooses to update or refuse to update according to actual needs.

[0023] Furthermore, when the operator refuses to update, the current burning terminal cannot burn the corresponding EDID that needs to be updated, but can choose other models that do not need to update EDID to burn EDID.

[0024] A system for realizing automatic EDID update of a production line includes a burning terminal, a server and a field management system. The burning terminal is connected to the server and the field management system respectively through a network. The burning terminal is configured with an EDID writing program and a downloading program.

[0025] The EDID writing program is used to burn EDID in real time on the display on the production line. The downloading program is used to download EDID data packets from the server. The server is used to store the EDID data packets used for updating so that the burning terminal can download and update them. The on-site management system SFIS is used to maintain and update the detailed information of each EDID released.

[0026] Furthermore, the server is an FTP server.

[0027] Furthermore, the burning terminal is a PC host.

[0028] Furthermore, the detailed information of EDID includes customer code, production code, model and version information.

[0029] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, and needs two PCs as servers to store EDID data. The server is used to store the latest EDID data packet, and the field management system SFIS is only used to maintain the detailed information of the latest EDID to be released for each model; when burning the display EDID, the EDID writing program first queries the field management system SFIS based on the EDID selected by the operator to see whether an updated EDID version has been released; when the updated EDID version is queried, the download program is started to download the latest EDID data packet from the server to obtain the EDID version of the specific model to realize the automatic update function. The present invention realizes the automatic update of the EDID of the production line, improves the timeliness of EDID release, and avoids problems such as errors and omissions caused by manual copying.

[0030] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;

[0031] Figure 1 The present invention is a flow chart of a method for realizing automatic EDID update of a production line. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a method for realizing automatic EDID update of a production line, which comprises the following steps:

[0034] Step 1: Configure the EDID storage path and server login account password on the server, and open the server upload and download permissions;

[0035] Step 2, create EDID and package it into EDID data packets and store them on the FTP server;

[0036] Step 3, maintaining the latest detailed information of each EDID to be released on the site management system SFIS;

[0037] Step 4: The burning terminal runs the EDID writing program and selects the corresponding EDID according to the detailed information of the EDID;

[0038] Step 5, the EDID writing program queries the field management system SFIS based on the selected EDID to determine whether the EDID version corresponding to the field management system SFIS is greater than the local EDID version; if yes, it prompts that the EDID needs to be updated and runs the download program to update the EDID. After the update is completed and the download program is exited, step 6 is executed; otherwise, step 6 is executed;

[0039] Step 6: The EDID writing program continues to select the corresponding EDID for writing.

[0040] Furthermore, in step 1, the account and password required for logging into the server are configured on the server at the same time, and are synchronously updated to the field management system SFIS.

[0041] Furthermore, in step 2, the EDID is packaged into a ZIP format, and the EDID data packet is named according to the set naming rule.

[0042] Specifically, as an implementation method, the EDID data packet is named according to the format of release year, month, day and version.

[0043] Furthermore, the detailed information in step 3 includes customer code, production code, model and version.

[0044] Further, the EDID version maintenance rule in step 3 is the same as the EDID data packet naming rule of the server side. Specifically, as an implementation method, the EDID data packet naming rule adopts a naming rule of four digits for year, two digits for month, two digits for day and two digits for version.

[0045] Furthermore, the specific steps for downloading the program to update EDID in step 5 are as follows:

[0046] Step 5-1, when the download program is running, first obtain the IP address and login account password from the field management system SFIS;

[0047] Step 5-2, the download program determines whether the corresponding IP address and login account password are obtained; if yes, the download program preferentially uses the obtained IP address and login account password to connect to the server; otherwise, the account password in the local configuration file of the burning terminal is used to connect to the server;

[0048] Step 5-3, download the latest EDID data package from the server and delete the EDID file of the burning terminal;

[0049] Step 5-4, decompress the EDID data packet to the burning terminal, complete the update and upload the log to the server.

[0050] Furthermore, in step 5, when the EDID version in the field management system SFIS is higher than the EDID version in the local computer, the EDID writing program pops up a dialog box prompting that the EDID needs to be updated, and the operator chooses to update or refuse to update according to actual needs.

[0051] Furthermore, when the operator refuses to update, the current burning terminal cannot burn the corresponding EDID that needs to be updated, but can choose other models that do not need to update EDID to burn EDID.

[0052] A system for realizing automatic EDID update of a production line includes a burning terminal, a server and a field management system. The burning terminal is connected to the server and the field management system respectively through a network. The burning terminal is configured with an EDID writing program and a downloading program.

[0053] The EDID writing program is used to burn EDID in real time on the display on the production line. The downloading program is used to download EDID data packets from the server. The server is used to store the EDID data packets used for updating so that the burning terminal can download and update them. The on-site management system SFIS is used to maintain and update the detailed information of each EDID to be released.

[0054] Furthermore, the server is an FTP server.

[0055] Furthermore, the burning terminal is a PC host.

[0056] Furthermore, the detailed information of EDID includes customer code, production code, model and version information.

[0057] Run the FTP server program on the server PC, set the storage path of EDID and the account and password required to log in to FTP, and open the upload and download permissions.

[0058] Package all EDID files into a zip file and name the file in the format of release year, month, day and version. Store the file in the EDID storage folder on the server PC.

[0059] The customer code, production code, model name and EDID version of each EDID to be released are maintained in the site management system SFIS system. The EDID version maintenance rules are the same as the server's EDID file package naming rules, that is, four digits for year, two digits for month, two digits for day and two digits for version.

[0060] When running the EDID burning program and selecting EDID, the program obtains the EDID version of the corresponding model from the SFIS system of the on-site management system through the customer code, production code, and model name, and then compares it with the EDID version in the local computer. If the EDID version of the model is higher than the EDID version in the local computer, the program pops up a dialog box to prompt that the EDID needs to be updated. The operator can choose to update or refuse the update according to actual needs. After refusing the update, the current machine cannot burn the EDID, but other models that do not need to update the EDID can be selected to burn the EDID. After the operator chooses to update, the EDID download program will automatically run. The download program connects to the server PC, downloads the latest EDID file and deletes the EDID file of the local PC, then decompresses the file to the local PC, and uploads the log to the server after the update is completed so that the background can view the update status of each line station. Finally, the download program automatically exits. The burning program detects that the update is complete and then loads the EDID for burning. By modifying the program configuration file parameters, the operator's manual selection of whether to update in the above process can also be changed to direct automatic update by the program.

[0061] Because the change of the IP address and account password of the server PC may cause the EDID download program to be unable to connect to the server. Therefore, this proposal adds the function of maintaining the server IP address and login account password on the field management system SFIS. When the download program is running, it is necessary to obtain the IP address and login account password from the field management system SFIS. The program will preferentially use the obtained IP address and login account password to connect to the server. If the IP and account password are not obtained from the field management system SFIS, the account password in the local configuration file will be used. This situation is suitable for engineers or after-sales service personnel who do not have the field management system SFIS.

[0062] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, and needs two PCs as servers to store EDID data. The server is used to store the latest EDID data packet, and the field management system SFIS is only used to maintain the detailed information of the latest EDID to be released for each model; when burning the display EDID, the EDID writing program first queries the field management system SFIS based on the EDID selected by the operator to see whether an updated EDID version has been released; when the updated EDID version is queried, the download program is started to download the latest EDID data packet from the server to obtain the EDID version of the specific model to realize the automatic update function. The present invention realizes the automatic update of the EDID of the production line, improves the timeliness of EDID release, and avoids problems such as errors and omissions caused by manual copying.

In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
