[0002] The current LED cabinet is composed of multiple lamp boards spliced together, and splicing multiple LED cabinets into an LED screen means that to play a picture on the spliced LED display screen, at this time, it is necessary to know the connection relationship of all cabinets, that is, the connection relationship of the receiving cards, and then the picture content can be transmitted to each LED cabinet connected under each network port through the connection relationship; in the prior art, when setting the connection relationship through an operation software, the operator needs to know the physical connection relationship of each cabinet in the LED screen and the parameter information of other screens (such as the number of cabinets connected under the network port, cabinet size, etc.), and then the operator can click on the connection relationship pre-saved in the operation software (such as wiring directions from left to right and from right to left, etc.) or the order of manually clicking on each cabinet one by one to determine the connection relationship of the overall cabinets of the LED screen. This method has the problem of low setting speed in application scenarios with a large number of cabinets. For operators who do not understand the overall cabinet connection relationship, the setting speed will be even lower. Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to find a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0014] A program playback system, comprising a host computer, a playback box, an LED display screen and a receiving device, the operation software is connected to the playback box through a local area network; the playback box is communicatively connected to the receiving device through a network cable to achieve communicative connection with the LED display screen, wherein the receiving device is arranged in the LED display screen; the operation software is used to issue instructions to control the LED display screen to play programs; the host computer implements the above-mentioned automatic box connection method when executing the computer program.

For the case of a large number of boxes and when the operator is not very clear about the overall connection relationship setting, the improvement of the setting rate is more obvious. Description of the Drawings

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

[0019] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for automatically connecting boxes in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0020] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a device for automatically connecting boxes in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0021] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a computer device in an embodiment of the present invention. Specific embodiments

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] A method for automatically connecting boxes provided by the present invention, wherein the client is connected to the playback box in the same local area network, and an operation software is set in the client. The client may include, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptop computers, smart phones, tablet computers, and portable wearable devices. Preferably, it is a smart phone, which has stronger operation convenience;

[0024] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a method for automatically connecting boxes is provided, including the following steps S10 - S40:

[0025] S10, detect the number of receiving cards connected under different network interfaces in the playback box; several network interfaces are set in one playback box;

[0026] Understandably, several network interfaces are provided in the playback box. The network interfaces can be 100M network interfaces or 1000M network interfaces, etc. Several LED cabinets can be connected under the network interfaces. For example, Network Interface 1 - Cabinet 1 - Cabinet 2, Network Interface 2 - Cabinet 3 - Cabinet 4. In addition, the LED cabinets connected under the network interface are determined according to the number of pixels carried by the network interface. For example, the number of pixels carried by a single 1000M network interface is only 650,000, that is, the resolution of the LED cabinets connected to a single network interface should be less than 650,000. A receiving card is set in a cabinet to be connected. The modules used in the cabinet to be connected are of the same data group, such as 16 or 32 data groups. At the same time, the same data group is also used between the cabinets to be connected. Among them, the data group refers to the data set that each group of pins of the chip can drive. Three signals of RGB form a group of data. The data is the result output in the required form after the receiving card processes various input signals, and is the basic unit used to implement the display function of the display screen. Several network interfaces are also set in the receiving card. The network interface of the receiving card is connected to the network interface of the playback box. At the same time, the network interface of the receiving card in a cabinet to be connected can be cascaded with the network interface of the receiving card in another cabinet to be connected (when multiple cabinets to be connected are connected under one network interface). Specifically, after the network interface in the playback box is connected to the cabinet to be connected, the operation software determines the number of connected receiving cards by detecting the receiving cards connected under the network interface, and displays the number of receiving cards on the display interface. For example, the first network interface is connected to 2 receiving cards, the second network interface is connected to 2 receiving cards, the third network interface is connected to 2 receiving cards, and the fourth network interface is connected to 0 receiving cards. The scenario set in this embodiment is preferably that each network interface in the same playback box is respectively connected to the corresponding LED cabinet (cabinet to be connected), and the transmitted display screen comes from the same video source. In addition, it can also be applied to the scenario of cascading playback boxes, and one or more network interfaces in multiple playback boxes of the same type are respectively connected to the corresponding LED cabinets.

[0027] S20. Generate various preset priority order cabinet layout relationships according to the number of receiving cards under different network interfaces;

[0028] Understandably, the cabinet layout relationship refers to the schematic diagram of the cabinets to be connected under each network interface on the upper computer display interface. For example, the cabinet layout relationships that can be formed under three network interfaces are 2*3, 3*2, 1*6, and 6*1 (rows and columns). The preset priority order is arranged according to the setting rules. The setting rules come from the number of receiving cards connected to each network interface and the even distribution of the receiving cards under the network interface. For example, a playback box has three network interfaces connected to receiving cards, and the number of receiving cards under the three network interfaces is 2 each. At this time, the sorting priority is 2*3, and then the sorting is 3*2 with the rows and columns reversed, and other sorting relationships that can divide the 6 cabinets to be connected evenly.

[0029] S30. Generate the to-be-connected cabinets under each network port in the display interface according to the selected cabinet layout relationship, and obtain the connection relationship of the to-be-connected cabinets under a target network port.

[0030] Understandably, the above cabinet layout relationship is only a schematic diagram of the cabinet arrangement after the system automatically arranges them. Here, it is necessary to determine the connection relationship of the to-be-connected cabinets in the cabinet layout relationship. The connection relationship refers to the relationship corresponding to the actual connection relationship of the physical cabinets established in the operation software. After it is sent to the physical cabinets, the physical cabinets can display the picture content normally according to the connection relationship. It is necessary to determine the import direction and export direction of the overall to-be-connected cabinets. For example, assume that the cabinet layout in Network Port 1 is 2*1 (2 vertically arranged to-be-connected cabinets). The import direction under Network Port 1 can be the to-be-connected cabinet in the first row and first column, or the to-be-connected cabinet in the second row and first column. The export direction is the next to-be-connected cabinet. Assume that the cabinet layout in Network Port 1 is 2*2. At this time, the import direction under Network Port 1 can be the to-be-connected cabinet in the first row and first column, the to-be-connected cabinet in the first row and second column, the to-be-connected cabinet in the second row and first column, or the to-be-connected cabinet in the second row and second column. And there can be multiple export directions for each import direction. Taking the to-be-connected cabinet in the first row and first column as the import direction for illustration, the export direction can be the to-be-connected cabinet in the first row and second column, the to-be-connected cabinet in the second row and first column, or the to-be-connected cabinet in the second row and second column. Specifically, in the display interface of the operation software, after obtaining the cabinet layout relationship selected by the user, generate the row and column layout of each to-be-connected cabinet, and finally obtain the connection relationship of the cabinets set under any target network port in the playback box. The connection relationship of the to-be-connected cabinets under the target network port set in this embodiment needs to be observed manually according to the screen prompt about the physical connection relationship of the cabinets under a network port (which has a complete corresponding relationship with the target network port. The target network port is at the software level and corresponds to a physical network port at the actual level). That is, after observing the serial number physical prompt on the screen (determine the serial number of the LED cabinet according to the data transmission order of the receiving card), then manually complete the connection relationship of the to-be-connected cabinets under a target network port. For example, which to-be-connected cabinets do serial numbers 1-3 correspond to, and the connection relationship can be set after clicking.

[0031] S40. Based on the connection relationship, set the same connection relationship for the to-be-connected cabinets under the other network ports except the target network port, and obtain the connection relationship of the to-be-connected cabinets under all network ports in the playback box.

[0032] Understandably, the connection relationships of the boxes to be connected under other network ports in the playback box are derived from the connection relationships of the boxes to be connected under the target network port. That is, after copying the connection relationships under the target network port, the copied connection relationships are applied to other network ports of the playback box. In addition, the derivation relationship in this embodiment is also applicable to the scenarios of different playback boxes. This embodiment can use the derivation relationship, which is determined based on the actual wiring habits of the physical boxes. Specifically, the first target network port is based on the artificial understanding of the physical connection relationships under one of the network ports. According to the actual setting habits, the physical connection relationships under other network ports will be set according to the same rules. Therefore, finally, the connection relationships of other network ports can be obtained through the first target network port.

[0033] In the embodiments of steps S10 to S40, only the connection relationships of the boxes to be connected under one target network port need to be obtained, without having to know the physical connection relationships of all the boxes to be connected in the entire screen body as in the prior art. Finally, after deriving the connection relationships of other network ports under the playback box through the connection relationships under the target network port, the connection relationships in the boxes to be connected are automatically connected. On the one hand, it is an automatic connection relationship, and on the other hand, it greatly improves the setting speed of the box connection relationships. For the case of a large number of boxes and the situation where the operator is not very clear about the overall connection relationship settings, the improvement in the setting speed is more obvious.

[0034] Further, the generating of the box layout relationships with multiple preset priority orders according to the number of receiving cards under different network ports includes:

[0035] Calculate the total number of receiving cards under all network ports;

[0036] Arrange each of the boxes to be connected in the row and column directions according to the total number of receiving cards to obtain multiple box layout relationships. After arranging the display orders of the multiple layout boxes in priority order according to the preset setting rules, generate schematic diagrams of multiple box layout relationships arranged in the preset priority order in the display interface.

[0037] Understandably, the total number of receiving cards refers to the total number of receiving cards connected under each network port, such as Network Port 1 + Network Port 2 + Network Port 3; specifically, according to the number of receiving cards under the network port and the total number of receiving cards, the connection boxes to be connected and the distribution uniformity of the receiving cards are arranged in rows and columns to obtain multiple box layout relationships after arrangement. The arranged box layout relationships are based on the row-column multiplication combination of the total number of receiving cards (equivalent to the total number of connection boxes to be connected, with one receiving card set in one connection box to be connected), such as 2*3, 3*2, 1*6, and 6*1 among the 6 receiving cards mentioned above. Then, according to the preset setting rules, the priority of various box layout relationships is sorted (firstly, based on the number of receiving cards connected under the network port for priority setting, then the row and column numbers of the first box layout relationship are exchanged, and finally, it is determined according to the uniform distribution of other multiplication combinations. For example, if 2 receiving cards are connected under each of the three network ports, the multiplication combination of 2*3 is sorted first, then the multiplication combination of 3*2 with the opposite row and column is sorted, and finally, the multiplication combinations of 1*6 and 6*1 with the worst uniform distribution are sorted; for 3 network ports each connected with 4 receiving cards, 3*4 and 4*3 are sorted first, then 2*6 and 6*2 are sorted. 2*6 and 6*2 have a medium uniform distribution, and finally, the multiplication combinations of 1*12 and 12*1 with the worst uniform distribution are sorted). Finally, according to the priority order, each layout order is displayed on the display interface of the operation software through serial numbers; in this embodiment, by presetting the priority order of the schematic diagrams of various box layout relationships, the display resources of the operation software can be reduced through the schematic diagrams, and users can automatically select the most likely layout according to the system without manually building the box layout relationships corresponding to the actual box arrangement one by one, thereby improving the drawing speed of the boxes in the operation software.

[0038] Further, after obtaining the connection relationships of the connection boxes to be connected under all network ports in the playback box, it further includes:

[0039] Obtain the display screen to be sent, and distribute the display screen to the physical boxes corresponding to each of the connection boxes to be connected according to the connection relationships of the connection boxes to be connected under all network ports; there is a base map serial number for each distributed display screen.

[0040] According to the base map serial numbers of the display screens of each physical box, confirm whether it is necessary to adjust the connection relationships of the connection boxes to be connected under the network port.

[0041] When it is confirmed that the connection relationships of the connection boxes to be connected under the network port need to be adjusted, obtain the connection relationship adjustment information for the connection boxes to be connected under the network port, generate the new connection relationships of all the connection boxes to be connected under the network port according to the adjustment information, and redistribute the display screen to the physical boxes corresponding to each of the connection boxes to be connected according to the new connection relationships.

[0042] Understandably, after the connection relationships of all the boxes to be connected are determined, the software can be operated to send the corresponding display screens according to the connection relationships of the boxes to be connected under all network ports. For example, a display screen is divided into multiple screen contents for display. Screen content 1 is displayed on the first physical box (corresponding to the box to be connected) in the connection relationship of the first network port, screen content is displayed on the second physical box in the connection relationship, and the same applies to other network ports; the base map number exists in the screen contents of each display screen and is used to simultaneously display the base map number when the physical box displays the screen. For example, the base map number of screen content 1 is 1, the base map number of screen content 2 is 2, and other situations are analogized in the same way; it is determined whether the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under the network port needs to be adjusted by the base map numbers displayed on each physical box on the screen. When there is an order problem with the base map numbers, it is confirmed that the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under the network port needs to be adjusted, and vice versa. Specifically, after it is visually observed by the human eye that there is an inversion problem with the base map numbers, the software can be manually operated to determine that adjustment is required; the adjustment relationship refers to resetting the connection relationship. For example, during the automatic connection process of the connection relationship, the connection relationships of other network ports are not the same as those of the target network port, or the connection relationships of other network ports are set in reverse due to human misoperation, such as the connection relationships of network port 2 and network port 3 are changed; this embodiment mainly uses the base map number to assist in determining whether the connection relationship needs to be adjusted (the software in the client displays the normal display screens of all the boxes to be connected, while there may be problems with the display screens actually displayed on the physical boxes. It is more convenient to observe with a smart phone). Then, the new connection relationship is obtained according to the adjustment information, and finally, the display screen is sent again according to the new connection relationship. This not only ensures the normal display quality of the screens of each physical box but also solves the problem that it was difficult to directly determine that the connection relationship needs to be readjusted after the screen is sent when the resolution of the screen is large enough, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of adjustment.

[0043] Further, after generating the new connection relationships of all the boxes to be connected under all the network ports according to the adjustment information, it further includes:

[0044] Display the connection relationship in a dotted line in the display interface;

[0045] After obtaining the adjustment information corresponding to the new connection relationship, display the new connection relationship in a solid line in the display interface;

[0046] Use the new connection relationship in a solid line to replace the connection information in a dotted line, and send the new connection relationship to the receiving card in the physical box.

[0047] Understandably, the connection relationship represented by the dotted line is equivalent to historical operation information, while the connection relationship shown by the solid line is equivalent to current operation information. When the user does not issue a new connection relationship, the connection relationship of the dotted line will be displayed on the host computer display interface. The specific scenario can be: when all three network ports are only connected to a column of connection relationships to be connected (such as a 2*3 box layout relationship), the connection relationship of the first network port is the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected from top to bottom in the first column. At this time, the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected in the first column is a solid line. The connection relationships of the second and third network ports are not connected according to the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected in the first column (or other connection error situations), but the second network port is connected to the boxes to be connected in the third column, and the third network port is connected to the boxes to be connected in the second column. The connection relationships of the second and third columns need to be changed. According to the adjustment relationship, a new connection relationship is set. At this time, the original displayed connection relationship is a dotted line, and the newly operated connection relationship is a solid line; in this embodiment, the new and old connection relationships can be intuitively distinguished through the solid line and the dotted line on the display interface of the operation software, ensuring that the user can view the historical information and avoiding the recurrence of the same problem when manually operating and adjusting the information.

[0048] Further, the obtaining of the connection relationship adjustment information for the boxes to be connected under the network port includes:

[0049] When it is confirmed that the number of boxes to be connected under at least two of the network ports is the same, the moving direction and moving distance of the first preset anchor point corresponding to one of the network ports are obtained; one preset anchor point corresponds to one of the network ports;

[0050] According to the moving direction and moving distance, a second preset anchor point connected to the first preset anchor point is determined;

[0051] The connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under the network port of the first preset anchor point is replaced with the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under the network port of the second preset anchor point to obtain the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under the network port.

[0052] Understandably, the preset anchor point is the connection relationship of the box to be connected under the network port for quick dragging. Through this preset anchor point, the connection relationship under the first network port can be dragged to another network port. The other network port obtains the connection relationship of the first network port, and the first network port obtains the connection relationship of the other network port. The moving direction can be from left to right or from right to left. The moving distance can be getting smaller and approaching the preset distance range. This embodiment mainly provides a mechanism for quickly modifying the connection relationship of two network ports, but the premise is to ensure that the number of boxes to be connected under at least two network ports is the same. Specifically, the number of boxes to be connected is confirmed by detecting the number of receiving cards connected under the network port. At this time, when manually dragging the first preset anchor point, the second preset anchor point can be directly connected through the moving direction and moving distance, and finally the connection relationship between the two can be quickly replaced.

[0053] Further, obtaining the connection relationship of the box to be connected under a target network port:

[0054] When it is confirmed that the box layout relationship selected is the preset box layout relationship, after obtaining the import direction of a box to be connected under the target network port in the box layout relationship, the export direction of the last box to be connected under the target network port is determined according to the import direction;

[0055] According to the export direction, the other boxes to be connected under the target network port are automatically connected to obtain the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under the target network port.

[0056] Understandably, the preset box layout relationship can be the connection relationship of boxes in a row or a column. Specifically, when it is determined that the box layout relationship is the preset box layout relationship, and after obtaining the import direction operated by the user on a box to be connected under the target network port, the export direction of the last box to be connected is determined in the form of a whole row or a whole column, that is, the connection relationships of all the boxes to be connected between the export direction and the import direction are automatically connected in the form of a whole row or a whole column to obtain the connection relationships of all the boxes to be connected under the target network port. Through the recognition of the special box layout relationship in this embodiment, after the recognition is completed, the quick connection of the boxes to be connected under the target network port can be realized, and the setting speed of the connection relationship is improved.

[0057] In summary, the above provides an automatic connection method for boxes. It only needs to obtain the connection relationship of the boxes to be connected under a target network port, without the need to know the physical connection relationship of each box to be connected in the entire screen as in the prior art. Finally, after deriving the connection relationships of other network ports under the playback box through the connection relationship under the target network port, it automatically connects the connection relationships in the boxes to be connected. On the one hand, it is an automatic connection relationship, and on the other hand, it greatly improves the setting speed of the box connection relationship. In the case of a large number of boxes and when the operator is not very clear about the overall connection relationship setting, the setting speed is improved more significantly. In addition, by presetting the priority order of the schematic diagrams of various box layout relationships, the display resources of the operation software can be reduced through the schematic diagrams, and the user can be enabled to automatically screen out the most likely layout for selection according to the system, without manually building the box layout relationship corresponding to the actual box arrangement one by one, thereby improving the drawing speed of the boxes in the operation software. In addition, this method can ensure the normal picture display quality of each physical box, and solve the problem that it is difficult to directly judge that there is a connection relationship that needs to be adjusted after the picture is sent when the screen resolution is large enough, and the adjustment efficiency is greatly improved. In addition, this method can intuitively distinguish the new and old connection relationships through solid lines and dotted lines on the display interface of the operation software, ensuring that the user can view the historical information and avoiding the recurrence of the same problem when manually adjusting the information. In addition, this method can quickly replace the connection relationships of different network ports through preset anchor points. This method can identify special box layout relationships, and after the identification is completed, it can quickly connect the boxes to be connected under the target network port, improving the setting speed of the connection relationship.

[0058] It should be understood that the magnitudes of the sequence numbers of the steps in the above embodiments do not mean the order of execution. The order of execution of each process should be determined according to its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] In one embodiment, the present invention further provides a box automatic connection device, which corresponds one-to-one to the box automatic connection method in the above embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the box automatic connection device includes a detection module 11, a generation module 12, an acquisition module 13, and a setting module 14.
