Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to an electronic device and an external component. Background Technology

[0002] When electronic devices transmit video signals to other devices, they need to be electrically connected to these devices via video interfaces. However, with the advancement of technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly integrated, leading to a shortage of space on the panels used to house multiple interfaces. Consequently, the space reserved for interfaces is decreasing.

[0003] In related technologies, video interfaces are relatively large, which in turn leads to larger panels on electronic devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of embodiments of this application is to provide an electronic device and external component for reducing the size of a video interface.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0006] On one hand, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a device body and a first video interface. The first video interface is disposed on the device body and includes: a plug slot and at least one connection terminal group. The plug slot has at least one mounting surface; the at least one connection terminal group is disposed on the at least one mounting surface, and each of the connection terminal groups includes at least a first color component signal terminal, a second color component signal terminal, a third color component signal terminal, a horizontal synchronization terminal, a vertical synchronization terminal, and a ground terminal.

[0007] In the aforementioned electronic device, by placing multiple terminals of the connecting terminal group in the first video interface on the mounting surface, it is unnecessary to place the terminals inside the receiving holes. This reduces the distance between adjacent terminals, thereby reducing the overall volume of the multiple terminals, which in turn reduces the volume of the connecting terminal group. Consequently, the volume of the first video interface can be reduced, and the panel area of ​​the electronic device can be decreased. Furthermore, in addition to the first video interface, the panel also houses indicator lights, network ports, and other electronic components. By reducing the volume of the first video interface while keeping the panel area constant, the layout of multiple electronic components on the panel can be prevented from becoming too compact.

[0008] In some embodiments, the radial cross-section of the insertion slot is a centrally symmetrical shape; the number of mounting surfaces is two, and the number of connection terminal groups is two, wherein the two connection terminal groups are respectively disposed on the two mounting surfaces; wherein the two mounting surfaces and the two connection terminal groups are centrally symmetrically distributed about the centrally symmetrical point of the radial cross-section of the insertion slot.

[0009] The first video interface can be rotated 180° around its central symmetry point to coincide with its original position. Correspondingly, the plug part of the second video interface, which connects to the first video interface, is also centrally symmetrical, allowing the second video interface to be inserted in either the forward or reverse orientation.

[0010] In some embodiments, the radial cross-section of the insertion slot has two axes of symmetry, and the two axes of symmetry are perpendicular to each other; both of the mounting surfaces are parallel to one of the two axes of symmetry, and both of the mounting surfaces are perpendicular to the other of the two axes of symmetry.

[0011] The radial section of the plug slot has two axes of symmetry, which allows users to easily adjust the insertion direction of the second video interface and insert it into the first video interface in the correct direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, one of the two axes of symmetry is a first axis of symmetry and the other is a second axis of symmetry; the width of the radial section of the insertion slot in the extension direction of the first axis of symmetry is greater than the width of the radial section of the insertion slot in the extension direction of the second axis of symmetry; both mounting surfaces are parallel to the first axis of symmetry, thereby making the dimensions of the mounting surfaces in the extension direction of the first axis of symmetry larger, which facilitates the arrangement of multiple terminals and avoids the distance between two adjacent terminals being too small, causing a short circuit between the two adjacent terminals.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least one other terminal from the connection terminal group is provided between any two terminals of the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, and the third color component signal terminal.

[0014] The first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, and the third color component signal terminal are all referred to as color component terminals. By setting at least one other terminal in the connection terminal group between two adjacent color component terminals, the distance between two adjacent color component terminals can be increased, thereby avoiding interference between the color component signals transmitted by the two adjacent color component terminals.

[0015] In some embodiments, at least one of the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, and the third color component signal terminal is disposed adjacent to the ground terminal.

[0016] By setting a grounding terminal on one side of the color component terminals (including the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, and the third color component signal terminal), the grounding terminal can shield interference, thereby preventing the signal in the terminal that is close to the color component terminal from interfering with the signal transmitted in the color component terminal.

[0017] In some embodiments, the connection terminal group includes at least one set of sub-connection terminal groups, and one of the sub-connection terminal groups includes an adjacent first terminal and a second terminal. The distance between the first terminal and the second terminal is less than the distance between the first terminal and other terminals in the connection terminal group, and less than the distance between the second terminal and other terminals in the connection terminal group. The first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal and the third color component signal terminal are disposed in different sub-connection terminal groups.

[0018] Since the distance between the first terminal and the second terminal is relatively close, the interference between the first terminal and the second terminal is relatively large. In some embodiments of this application, the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal and the third color component signal terminal are arranged in different sub-connection terminal groups, so as to avoid the distance between two adjacent color component signal terminals being too close, thereby avoiding interference between the color component signals transmitted in the two adjacent color component signal terminals.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first terminal is any one of the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, and the third color component signal terminal; the second terminal is the ground terminal.

[0020] The color component signal terminal is close to the ground terminal, and the ground terminal can shield the signal from interference caused by signals from other terminals to the signal in the color component signal terminal.

[0021] In some embodiments, the connection terminal group further includes an identification terminal. The electronic device further includes a graphics processing unit and a switching circuit; the graphics processing unit is electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, the third color component signal terminal, the horizontal synchronization terminal, and the vertical synchronization terminal via the switching circuit; and the switching circuit is electrically connected to the identification terminal; the switching circuit is configured to: when the identification terminal receives a first level signal, control the graphics processing unit to conduct between the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, the third color component signal terminal, the horizontal synchronization terminal, and the vertical synchronization terminal; and when the identification terminal does not receive the first level signal, control the graphics processing unit to disconnect between the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, the third color component signal terminal, the horizontal synchronization terminal, and the vertical synchronization terminal.

[0022] Specifically, the recognition terminal can only receive the first level signal when the second video interface is plugged into the first video interface. Only then will the switching circuit control the connection between the graphics processing unit and the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, the third color component signal terminal, the horizontal sync terminal, and the vertical sync terminal. This allows the graphics processing unit to send the first color component signal to the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal to the second color component signal terminal, the third color component signal to the third color component signal terminal, the horizontal sync signal to the horizontal sync terminal, and the vertical sync signal to the vertical sync terminal. Consequently, when other interfaces are plugged into the first video interface, the first video interface has no output, thus preventing other interfaces from being damaged.

[0023] In some embodiments, the switching circuit includes: a plurality of switching sub-circuits, an adjustment module, and a control module. The graphics processing unit is electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal, the second color component signal terminal, the third color component signal terminal, the horizontal synchronization terminal, and the vertical synchronization terminal through the plurality of switching sub-circuits, respectively; the adjustment module is electrically connected to the second level signal terminal and the recognition terminal. The adjustment module is configured to: output the first level signal when the recognition terminal receives the first level signal; and output the second level signal received at the second level signal terminal when the recognition terminal does not receive the first level signal. The control module is electrically connected to the adjustment module and the plurality of switching sub-circuits, and the control module is configured to: control the plurality of switching sub-circuits to be turned on when it receives the first level signal output by the adjustment module; and control the plurality of switching sub-circuits to be turned off when it receives the second level signal output by the adjustment module.

[0024] The adjustment module can adjust the output level signal according to whether there is input at the identification terminal, while the control module can control the switch sub-circuit to be turned on or off according to the level signal output by the adjustment module. This is to prevent the electronic device from outputting a video signal when other interfaces are plugged into the first video interface, which could cause other interfaces to be burned out.

[0025] In some embodiments, the first video interface further includes a tongue plate disposed within the plug slot, the tongue plate comprising two tongue plate surfaces disposed opposite each other, the tongue plate surfaces serving as the mounting surface. In this case, the female connector of the Type-C interface can be used as the first video interface.

[0026] In some embodiments, the connector slot includes two oppositely disposed slot sidewalls, the slot sidewalls being the mounting surface, in which case the female connector of the Lightning interface can serve as the first video interface.

[0027] On the other hand, an external component is provided. The external component includes: an external body and a second video interface. The second video interface is disposed on the external body and includes: a plug portion and at least one group of connection pins. The plug portion is capable of being plugged into a plug slot of a first video interface in an electronic device provided in some of the above embodiments; the plug portion is provided with at least one base surface. The at least one group of connection pins is disposed on the at least one base surface, and each group of connection pins includes at least a first color component signal pin, a second color component signal pin, a third color component signal pin, a horizontal synchronization pin, a vertical synchronization pin, and a ground pin. When the plug portion is plugged into the plug slot, the first color component signal pin is electrically connected to a first color component signal terminal in the electronic device; the second color component signal pin is electrically connected to a second color component signal terminal in the electronic device; the third color component signal pin is electrically connected to a third color component signal terminal in the electronic device; the horizontal synchronization pin is electrically connected to a horizontal synchronization terminal in the electronic device; the vertical synchronization pin is electrically connected to a vertical synchronization terminal in the electronic device; and the ground pin is electrically connected to a ground terminal in the electronic device.

[0028] In the aforementioned external components, multiple pins of the connecting pin group in the second video interface are placed on the base surface, so that the base surface can support the multiple pins, thereby reducing the phenomenon of pins bending due to insufficient strength. Therefore, the size of the pins can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall volume occupied by the multiple pins, that is, reducing the size of the connecting pin group, and thus reducing the volume of the second video interface.

[0029] In some embodiments, where the connection terminal group of the first video interface further includes an identification terminal: the second video interface further includes an identification pin, which is electrically connected to the ground pin.

[0030] Since the identification pin is electrically connected to the ground pin, the ground signal received by the ground pin can be used as the first level signal without the need to introduce other signals.

[0031] In some embodiments, where the first video interface further includes a tongue plate: the plug portion further includes a receiving groove for accommodating the tongue plate; the opposite side of the receiving groove is the base surface, and in this case, the male connector of the type-C interface can serve as a second video interface.

[0032] In some embodiments, when the plug slot includes two oppositely arranged slot sidewalls and the slot sidewalls are mounting surfaces: the plug portion includes a plug plate, the plug plate includes two oppositely arranged plug surfaces, the plug surfaces being the base surface, in which case the male connector of the Lightning interface can serve as a second video interface.

[0033] In some embodiments, the external connector includes a data cable harness. The external component also includes a third video interface, which is electrically connected to the second video interface via the data cable harness.

[0034] The video signal received by the second video interface can be directly transmitted to the third video interface through the data cable harness without the need for a conversion chip, thus simplifying the structure of the connector and saving costs. Attached Figure Description

[0057] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0058] In describing some embodiments, the term "connection" and its derivative expressions may be used.

The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content of this document.

[0059] "At least one of A, B and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B or C", both including the following combinations of A, B and C: only A, only B, only C, combinations of A and B, combinations of A and C, combinations of B and C, and combinations of A, B and C.

[0060] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.

[0061] In addition, the use of “based on” implies openness and inclusivity, because processes, steps, calculations or other actions “based on” one or more of the stated conditions or values ​​may in practice be based on additional conditions or values ​​beyond those stated.

[0064] Figure 1A This is a structural diagram of an electronic system 4000 according to some embodiments.

[0065] Please see Figure 1A The electronic system 4000 includes: an electronic device 1000, an external component 2000, and an external display device 3000. The electronic device 1000 is electrically connected to the external component 2000, and the external component 2000 is electrically connected to the external display device 3000. The electronic device 1000 generates video signals and transmits them to the external display device 3000 via the external component 2000, which then displays the video signals.

[0066] For example, electronic device 1000 can be a server, host, or other similar device.

[0067] For example, the external display device 3000 can be a monitor, television, or other display device.

[0068] The electronic device 1000 includes a device body 1100 and a first video transmission interface 1200A, wherein the first video transmission interface 1200A is disposed on the device body 1100.

[0069] The external component 2000 includes: an external body 2100 and a second video transmission interface 1200B. The second video transmission interface 1200B is located within the external body 2100.

[0070] In other examples, the electronic device 1000 may include a second video transmission interface 1200B, which is located on the device body 1100. The external component 2000 may include a first video transmission interface 1200A, which is located on the external body 2100.

[0071] In some examples, the first video transmission interface 1200A can be a VGA (Video Graphics Array) female connector, and the corresponding second video transmission interface 1200B can be a VGA male connector.

[0072] In other examples, the first video transmission interface 1200A can be a male VGA interface, and correspondingly, the second video transmission interface 1200B can be a female VGA interface.

[0073] In some examples, the external unit 2100 can be an adapter cable. In this case, the second video transmission interface 1200B can be set at one end of the adapter cable. When the first video transmission interface 1200A is connected to the second video transmission interface 1200B, the electronic device 1000 can be electrically connected to the external display device 3000 through the adapter cable. Thus, the electronic device 1000 can transmit video signals to the external component 2000.

[0074] In some examples, the external component 2000 may further include a third video transmission interface 1200C, and correspondingly, the external display device 3000 may further include a fourth video transmission interface (not shown in the figure). The third video transmission interface 1200C in the external component 2000 can be electrically connected to the fourth video transmission interface in the external display device 3000, thereby enabling an electrical connection between the external component 2000 and the external display device 3000. Consequently, the video signal received by the external component 2000 can be transmitted to the external display device 3000.

[0075] In some examples, the third video transmission interface 1200C can be a male VGA interface, while the corresponding fourth video transmission interface can be a female VGA interface.

[0076] In other examples, the third video transmission interface 1200C can be a female VGA interface, while the corresponding fourth video transmission interface can be a male VGA interface.

[0077] Figure 1BThis is a structural block diagram of an electronic device 1000 according to some embodiments.

[0078] Please see Figure 1B The electronic device 1000 also includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU) 1500. The CPU 1500 includes a Graphics Processing Unit 1510 and a CPU 1520, with the CPU 1520 electrically connected to the Graphics Processing Unit 1510. In this case, the Graphics Processing Unit 1510 can be integrated into the CPU 1500. The CPU 1520 can control the Graphics Processing Unit 1510 to output video signals.

[0079] Please see Figure 1B The central processing unit 1500 can be set on the motherboard, and the motherboard also has a first interface 1700, which is electrically connected to the graphics processing unit 1510 to receive video signals.

[0080] The electronic device 1000 also includes a second interface 1800. Both the second interface 1800 and the first video transmission interface 1200A can be set on the first interface board. Multiple conductive connection lines are formed on the first interface board, and the second interface 1800 and the first video transmission interface 1200A can be electrically connected through the multiple conductive connection lines.

[0081] The first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800 are electrically connected. For example, the first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800 can be electrically connected through a data cable, so that the video signal emitted by the graphics processing unit 1510 can be transmitted to the first video transmission interface 1200A in sequence through the first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800.

[0082] For example, both the first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800 can be COA (Coaxal) interfaces.

[0083] Figure 1C This is a structural block diagram of an electronic device 1000 according to some other embodiments.

[0084] Please see Figure 1C In other examples, the graphics processing unit 1510 may be a graphics processing unit (GPU), which is a separate structure from the central processing unit 1500. In this case, the graphics processing unit 1510 is electrically connected to the central processing unit 1500. The central processing unit 1500 can control the graphics processing unit 1510 to output video signals.

[0085] At this time, the graphics processor (i.e., graphics processing unit 1510) and the central processing unit 1500 can both be integrated on the motherboard. The motherboard can also be provided with a first interface 1700, and the first interface board is provided with a second interface 1800. The first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800 can be electrically connected via a data cable. At this time, the central processing unit 1500 controls the graphics processor to send video signals, and the video signals are transmitted sequentially through the first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800 to the first video transmission interface 1200A.

[0086] Figure 1D This is a structural block diagram of an electronic system 4000 according to some embodiments.

[0087] Please see Figure 1D In some examples, the first video transmission interface 1200A includes multiple connection pins, among which are a first color component signal pin R01, a second color component signal pin G01, a third color component signal pin B01, a horizontal synchronization pin HS01, a vertical synchronization pin VS01, and a ground pin GND01. The ground pin GND01 is grounded.

[0088] The graphics processing unit 1510 is electrically connected to the first color component signal pin R01, the second color component signal pin G01, the third color component signal pin B01, the horizontal synchronization pin HS01, and the vertical synchronization pin VS01. The graphics processing unit 1510 can send a first color component signal r to the first color component signal pin R01, a second color component signal g to the second color component signal pin G01, a third color component signal b to the third color component signal pin B01, a horizontal synchronization signal hs to the horizontal synchronization pin HS01, and a vertical synchronization signal vs to the vertical synchronization pin VS01. The first color component signal r, the second color component signal g, the third color component signal b, the horizontal synchronization signal hs, and the vertical synchronization signal vs are all video signals as described above.

[0089] In some examples, the second video transmission interface 1200B includes multiple connection pins, including a first color component signal pin R02, a second color component signal pin G02, a third color component signal pin B02, a horizontal synchronization pin HS02, a vertical synchronization pin VS02, and a ground pin GND02.

[0092] The following describes the electronic device 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application, using the electronic device 1000 as an example of a server.

[0093] Figure 2A This is a structural diagram of an electronic device 1000 according to some embodiments.

[0094] Please see Figure 2A In electronic device 1000, the main body 1100 includes a chassis 1110 and multiple electronic components ( Figure 2A (Not shown in the diagram) and multiple hard drives 1120, etc. The chassis has internal storage space where electronic components can be housed. These electronic components may include the motherboard, memory, network card, etc., which are not listed here. Furthermore, the chassis 1110 has multiple expansion slots, into which the hard drives 1120 can be plugged to increase the storage capacity.

[0095] The chassis 1110 includes a panel 1111, wherein a first video transmission interface 1200A is disposed on the panel 1111.

[0096] Figure 2B This is a structural diagram of a first video transmission interface 1200A according to some embodiments.

[0097] Please see Figure 2BThe first video transmission interface 1200A includes a plug-in portion 1210, which has multiple receiving holes 1211. Connecting pins are located at the bottom of each receiving hole 1211; therefore, the number of receiving holes 1211 is the same as the number of connecting pins. In some examples, the multiple connecting pins of the first video transmission interface 1200A include a first color component signal pin R01, a second color component signal pin G01, a third color component signal pin B01, a horizontal synchronization pin HS01, a vertical synchronization pin VS01, and a ground pin GND01. It should be noted that... Figure 2B In the diagram, labels R01, G01, B01, HS01, VS01, and GND01 each point to the receiving hole 1211 that houses the pin corresponding to that label.

[0098] In some examples, the receiving holes 1211 can be arranged in multiple rows; for example, multiple receiving holes 1211 can be arranged in three rows.

[0099] In some examples, the number of receiving holes 1211 in each row of receiving holes X1211 is the same; for example, each row of receiving holes X1211 includes 5 receiving holes 1211.

[0100] In some examples, multiple receiving holes 1211 in each row of receiving holes X1211 are arranged sequentially along the first direction A. The multiple receiving holes 1211 in adjacent rows of receiving holes X1211 may be staggered.

[0101] In the first video transmission interface 1200A provided in some of the above embodiments, the connecting pins are disposed in the receiving hole 1211. Since the receiving hole 1211 is large in volume and there is a gap between two adjacent receiving holes 1211, the plug-in part 1210 including multiple receiving holes 1211 is large in volume, thereby making the first video transmission interface 1200A large in volume.

[0102] In addition, the first video transmission interface 1200A also includes a first fixing part 1220, which is used for detachable connection with a device mating to the first video transmission interface 1200A. For example, the first fixing part 1220 is provided with a threaded hole.

[0103] The first video transmission interface 1200A has been introduced above. The second video transmission interface 1200B will be introduced below.

[0104] Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of a second video transmission interface 1200B according to some embodiments.

[0105] Please see Figure 3The second video transmission interface 1200B includes a plug slot 1230 and multiple connection pins 1240, with the multiple connection pins 1240 disposed within the plug slot 1230.

[0106] Please see Figure 3 and simultaneously combined Figure 2B When the second video transmission interface 1200B is connected to the first video transmission interface 1200A, the connecting pin 1240 can be inserted into the receiving hole 1211, and the connecting pin 1240 can be electrically connected to the connecting pin at the bottom of the receiving hole 1211.

[0107] In some examples, multiple connection pins 1240 can be arranged in multiple rows. For example, multiple connection pins 1240 can be arranged in 3 rows.

[0108] In some examples, the number of connection pins 1240 in each row of connection pins X1240 is the same. For example, each row of connection pins X1240 includes 5 connection pins 1240.

[0109] In some examples, multiple connection pins 1240 in each row of connection pins X1240 can be arranged sequentially along the second direction B. Furthermore, multiple connection pins 1240 in adjacent rows of connection pins X1240 can be staggered.

[0110] Furthermore, the second video transmission interface 1200B may also include a second fixing part 1250, which is used for detachable connection with the first fixing part 1220. For example, the first fixing part 1220 (e.g.) Figure 2B When a threaded hole is provided on the first video transmission interface 1200A, the second fixing part 1250 can be a bolt. By providing the first fixing part 1220 in the first video transmission interface 1200A and the second fixing part 1250 in the second video transmission interface 1200B, the reliability of the connection between the first video transmission interface 1200A and the second video transmission interface 1200B can be increased.

[0111] In some of the above embodiments, in the second video transmission interface 1200B, in order to ensure that the connecting pin 1240 has sufficient strength and to prevent the connecting pin 1240 from bending, the diameter of the connecting pin 1240 is designed to be relatively large. In order to make the second video transmission interface 1200B compatible with the first video transmission interface 1200A, the spacing between two adjacent connecting pins 1240 is relatively large, thereby making the internal space of the plug-in slot 1230 larger, and thus making the second video transmission interface 1200B larger in volume.

[0112] For ease of description, the first video transmission interface 1200A and the second video transmission interface 1200B will be collectively referred to as video transmission interfaces.

[0113] In summary, the video transmission interfaces (including the first video transmission interface 1200A and the second video transmission interface 1200B) are relatively large. The larger the video transmission interface, the more significant its impact on electronic devices 1000 (such as...). Figure 2A The larger the space required on panel 1111 (as shown), the more space is required on panel 1111. In addition to video transmission interface, panel 1111 also has network cable interface 1300 and indicator lights, resulting in panel 1111 being too compact.

[0114] Figure 4A This is a structural diagram of an electronic device 1000 according to some embodiments.

[0115] Please see Figure 4A Some embodiments of this application provide an electronic device 1000, which includes a first video interface 1400 and a device body 1100. The first video interface 1400 is disposed on the device body 1100; for example, the first video interface 1400 is disposed on a panel 1111.

[0116] The main body of the equipment 1100 has already been described in detail above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0117] Figure 4B This is a structural block diagram of an electronic device 1000 according to some other embodiments.

[0118] Please see Figure 4B In some embodiments, the electronic device 1000 further includes a second interface board, wherein a second interface 1800 and a first video interface 1400 are provided on the second interface board, and multiple conductive connection lines are formed on the second interface board, and the second interface 1800 and the first video interface 1400 can be electrically connected through the multiple conductive connection lines.

[0119] In the electronic device 1000, the video signal emitted by the graphics processing unit 1510 is sequentially sent to the first video interface 1400 through the first interface 1700 and the second interface 1800.

[0120] Among them, such as Figure 4B As shown, the graphics processing unit 1510 can be integrated into the central processing unit 1500. Furthermore, as... Figure 1C As shown, the graphics processing unit 1510 can also be independent of the central processing unit 1500. In this case, the graphics processing unit 1510 is not integrated into the central processing unit 1500, and the graphics processing unit 1510 can be an independent graphics processor.

[0121] Figure 5AThis is a radial cross-sectional view of a first video interface 1400 according to some embodiments.

[0122] Please see Figure 5A The first video interface 1400 includes a plug slot 1410 and at least one connection terminal group 1420. The plug slot 1410 is provided with at least one mounting surface 1430, and the at least one connection terminal group 1420 is disposed on the at least one mounting surface 1430.

[0123] A connection terminal group 1420 may include multiple terminals 1421, and in some examples, some terminals 1421 may receive the same signal. For example, a connection terminal group 1420 may include multiple ground terminals GND1.

[0124] In some examples, the number of mounting surfaces 1430 can be one, and the number of terminal connection terminal groups 1420 can also be one.

[0125] In some examples, there may be one mounting surface 1430 and multiple connection terminal groups 1420. In this case, multiple connection terminal groups 1420 may be disposed on one mounting surface 1430.

[0126] In some examples, there can be multiple mounting surfaces 1430, while there can be only one connecting terminal group 1420. In this case, multiple terminals 1421 in a connecting terminal group 1420 can be respectively disposed on multiple mounting surfaces 1430. For example, Figure 5A As shown, there are two mounting surfaces 1430, and multiple terminals 1421 in a connection terminal group 1420 are respectively disposed on the two mounting surfaces 1430.

[0127] In some examples, there can be multiple mounting surfaces 1430 and multiple connection terminal groups 1420. For example, the number of mounting surfaces 1430 and the number of connection terminal groups 1420 can be the same, in which case one connection terminal group 1420 can be provided on one mounting surface 1430.

[0128] Each of the connection terminal groups 1420 includes at least a first color component signal terminal R1, a second color component signal terminal G1, a third color component signal terminal B1, a horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, a vertical synchronization terminal VS, and a ground terminal GND1.

[0129] In some examples, a connection terminal group 1420 may only include a first color component signal terminal R1, a second color component signal terminal G1, a third color component signal terminal B1, a horizontal sync terminal HS1, a vertical sync terminal VS1, and a ground terminal GND1. By setting these five terminals, the first video interface 1400 can transmit video signals. In other examples, the connection terminal group 1420 may also include a serial data signal terminal SDA1 and a serial clock signal terminal SCL1.

[0130] For example, the first color component signal terminal R1 can be the red component signal terminal, in which case the first color component signal terminal R1 is used to receive the red component signal.

[0131] The second color component signal terminal G1 is the green component signal terminal. At this time, the second color component signal terminal G1 is used to receive the green component signal.

[0132] The third color component signal terminal B1 is the blue component signal terminal. At this time, the third color component signal terminal B1 is used to receive the blue component signal.

[0133] In some embodiments of this application, by placing multiple terminals 1421 in the connection terminal group 1420 on the mounting surface 1430, it is not necessary to place the terminals 1421 in the receiving hole. This reduces the distance between two adjacent terminals 1421, thereby reducing the overall volume occupied by the multiple terminals 1421, i.e., the volume of the connection terminal group 1420. Consequently, the volume of the first video interface 1400 can be reduced, and the area of ​​the panel 1111 in the electronic device 1000 can be reduced. Furthermore, the panel 1111 not only houses the first video interface 1400, but also indicator lights and network ports. By reducing the volume of the first video interface 1400 without changing the panel area, the layout of the multiple electronic components on the panel 1111 can be prevented from becoming too compact.

[0134] In some examples, when the first video interface 1400 is disposed on the second interface board, the multiple conductive connection lines on the second interface board include a first conductive connection line, a second conductive connection line, a third conductive connection line, a fourth conductive connection line, a fifth conductive connection line, and a sixth conductive connection line. Specifically, the first conductive connection line is electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal R1 and is used to transmit the first color component signal. The second conductive connection line is electrically connected to the second color component signal terminal G1 and is used to transmit the second color component signal. The third conductive connection line is electrically connected to the third color component signal terminal B1 and is used to transmit the third color component signal. The fourth conductive connection line is electrically connected to the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1 and is used to transmit the horizontal synchronization signal. The fifth conductive connection line is electrically connected to the vertical synchronization terminal VS and is used to transmit the vertical synchronization signal. The sixth conductive connection line is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND1 and is used to transmit the ground signal.

[0135] Please see Figure 5A In some embodiments, the first video interface 1400 further includes a tongue plate 1440. The tongue plate 1440 is disposed within the insertion slot 1410, and the tongue plate 1440 includes two tongue plate surfaces 1441 disposed opposite to each other, wherein either tongue plate surface 1441 can serve as a mounting surface 1430. Therefore, multiple terminals 1421 in the connection terminal group 1420 are disposed on the tongue plate 1440.

[0136] In some examples, both tongue surfaces 1441 are mounting surfaces 1430.

[0137] At this point, the female connector of the Type-C interface can be used as the first video interface 1400; that is, the first video interface 1400 has the same structure as the female connector of the Type-C interface. Therefore, the existing female connector of the Type-C interface can be used as the first video interface. However, the signals received by the multiple terminals of the Type-C interface are different from the signals received by the multiple terminals of the first video interface 1400.

[0138] In some examples, the first video interface 1400 also includes a spring element 1450. The spring element 1450 is disposed on the sidewall of the insertion slot 1410, and there can be multiple spring elements 1450. For example, there are four spring elements 1450.

[0139] In some examples, the insertion slot 1410 includes four slot sidewalls 1411, among which are two first slot sidewalls and two second slot sidewalls arranged opposite each other. Multiple elastic members 1450 may be respectively disposed on the two opposite first slot sidewalls, and the two first slot sidewalls are respectively disposed opposite to the two mounting surfaces 1430.

[0140] For example, the first groove sidewall can be a plane or approximately a plane, while the second groove sidewall can be a curved surface, or a portion of the second groove sidewall can be a curved surface and another portion can be a plane.

[0141] Among them, the elastic element 1450 can undergo elastic deformation under pressure.

[0142] In addition to being located on the tongue plate 1440, the mounting surface 1430 can also be located on part of the side wall of the insertion slot 1410.

[0143] Figure 5B A radial cross-sectional view of a first video interface 1400 according to some other embodiments.

[0144] Please see Figure 5B In other embodiments, in the first video interface 1400, the plug slot 1410 includes two opposing slot sidewalls 1411, which can be mounting surfaces 1430. In this case, the female connector of the Lightning interface can serve as the first video interface 1400.

[0145] In some examples, the first slot sidewall is the mounting surface 1430. For example, one of the two first slot sidewalls may be the mounting surface 1430. In other examples, both first slot sidewalls may be the mounting surface 1430.

[0146] When the sidewall 1411 of the groove is the mounting surface 1430, the first sidewall of the groove, which is the mounting surface 1430, can be a plane or an approximately plane, while the second sidewall of the groove can be a curved surface or a part of the second sidewall of the groove can be a curved surface and the rest can be a plane or an approximately plane.

[0147] In relation to the first video interface 1400 provided in some of the above embodiments, some embodiments of this application also provide an external component 2000.

[0148] Figure 6A This is a structural diagram of an electronic system 4000 according to some other embodiments.

[0149] Please see Figure 6A The external component 2000 includes: an external body 2100 and a second video interface 2200. The second video interface 2200 is disposed on the external body 2100.

[0150] The second video interface 2200 can interface with the first video interface 1400. In some examples, the external component 2000 may also include a third video interface 2300, which is disposed on the external body 2100 and electrically connected to the second video interface 2200 via the external body 2100. The third video interface 2300 can also be plugged into and electrically connected to the external display device 3000. Thus, the video signal emitted by the electronic device 1000 can be transmitted sequentially to the external display device 3000 through the first video interface 1400, the second video interface 2200, the external body 2100, and the third video interface 2300. Upon receiving the video signal, the external display device 3000 can then display the signal.

[0151] Please see Figure 6A In some embodiments, the external body 2100 includes a data harness, and the third video interface 2300 can be electrically connected to the second video interface 2200 through the data harness, so that the video signal received by the second video interface 2200 can be transmitted to the third video interface 2300 through the data harness.

[0152] The second video interface 2200 is located at one end of the data cable harness, while the third video interface 2300 is located at the other end of the data cable harness. The data cable harness includes at least a first data line, a second data line, a third data line, a fourth data line, a fifth data line, and a sixth data line.

[0153] Figure 6B This is a structural block diagram of an external component 2000 according to some embodiments.

[0154] Please see Figure 6B The second video interface 2200 includes at least one connection pin group 2220, and the connection pin group 2220 includes a first color component signal pin R2, a second color component signal pin G2, a third color component signal pin B2, a horizontal synchronization pin HS2, a vertical synchronization pin VS2, and a ground pin GND2.

[0155] The third video interface 2300 includes a pin group 2310, which includes multiple pins arranged in at least three rows. The pin group 2310 includes a first color component signal pin R3, a second color component signal pin G3, a third color component signal pin B3, a horizontal synchronization pin HS3, a vertical synchronization pin VS3, and a ground pin GND3.

[0156] In some examples, the third video interface 2300 can be the aforementioned second video transmission interface 1200B. Correspondingly, the external display device 3000 is provided with a first video transmission interface 1200A. The structures of the second video transmission interface 1200B and the first video transmission interface 1200A have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0157] In other examples, the third video interface 2300 can be the first video transmission interface 1200A mentioned above, and correspondingly, the external display device 3000 is provided with a second video transmission interface 1200B.

[0158] It should be noted that when the third video interface 2300 is the aforementioned second video transmission interface 1200B (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, in the third video interface 2300, the first color component signal pin R3 is the first color component signal plug R02, the second color component signal pin G3 is the second color component signal plug G02, the third color component signal pin B3 is the third color component signal plug B02, the horizontal synchronization pin HS3 is the horizontal synchronization plug HS02, the vertical synchronization pin VS3 is the vertical synchronization plug VS02, and the ground pin GND3 is the ground plug GND02.

[0159] When the third video interface 2300 is the same as the first video transmission interface 1200A (e.g.) Figure 2B As shown, in the third video interface 2300, the first color component signal pin R3 is the first color component signal pin R01, the second color component signal pin G3 is the second color component signal pin G01, the third color component signal pin B3 is the third color component signal pin B01, the horizontal synchronization pin HS3 is the horizontal synchronization pin HS01, the vertical synchronization pin VS3 is the vertical synchronization pin VS01, and the ground pin GND3 is the ground pin GND0.

[0160] Specifically, the first color component signal pin R3 is connected to the first color component signal pin R2 via the first data line; the second color component signal pin G3 is connected to the second color component signal pin G2 via the second data line; the third color component signal pin B3 is connected to the third color component signal pin B2 via the third data line; the horizontal synchronization pin HS3 is connected to the horizontal synchronization pin HS2 via the fourth data line; the vertical synchronization pin VS3 is connected to the horizontal synchronization pin VS2 via the fifth data line; and the ground pin GND3 is connected to the ground pin GND2 via the sixth data line.

[0161] In some examples, the same pins in the second video interface 2200 are connected to the same data line.

[0162] For example, the second video interface 2200 includes a connection pin group 2220. In this case, the second video interface 2200 includes a first color component signal pin R2, a second color component signal pin G2, a third color component signal pin B2, a horizontal sync pin HS2, and a vertical sync pin VS2. The first color component signal pin R2 is electrically connected to a first data line, the second color component signal pin G2 is electrically connected to a second data line, the third color component signal pin B2 is electrically connected to a third data line, the horizontal sync pin HS2 is electrically connected to a fourth data line, and the vertical sync pin VS2 is electrically connected to a fifth data line.

[0163] For example, the second video interface 2200 includes multiple connection pin groups 2220. In this case, the second video interface 2200 includes multiple first color component signal pins R2, multiple second color component signal pins G2, multiple third color component signal pins B2, multiple horizontal sync pins HS2, and multiple vertical sync pins VS2. The multiple first color component signal pins R2 are electrically connected to a first data line, the multiple second color component signal pins G2 are electrically connected to a second data line, the multiple third color component signal pins B2 are electrically connected to a third data line, the multiple horizontal sync pins HS2 are electrically connected to a fourth data line, and the multiple vertical sync pins VS2 are electrically connected to a fifth data line.

[0164] In some examples, the same pins in the third video interface 2300 are connected to the same data cable.

[0165] For example, the third video interface 2300 includes a connection pin group 2310. In this case, the third video interface 2300 includes a first color component signal pin R3, a second color component signal pin G3, a third color component signal pin B3, a horizontal synchronization pin HS3, and a vertical synchronization pin VS3. The first color component signal pin R3 is electrically connected to a first data line, the second color component signal pin G3 is electrically connected to a second data line, the third color component signal pin B3 is electrically connected to a third data line, the horizontal synchronization pin HS3 is electrically connected to a fourth data line, and the vertical synchronization pin VS3 is electrically connected to a fifth data line.

[0166] For example, the third video interface 2300 includes multiple connection pin groups 2310. In this case, the third video interface 2300 includes multiple first color component signal pins R3, multiple second color component signal pins G3, multiple third color component signal pins B3, multiple horizontal synchronization pins HS3, and multiple vertical synchronization pins VS3. The multiple first color component signal pins R3 are electrically connected to a first data line, the multiple second color component signal pins G3 are electrically connected to a second data line, the multiple third color component signal pins B3 are electrically connected to a third data line, the multiple horizontal synchronization pins HS3 are electrically connected to a fourth data line, and the multiple vertical synchronization pins VS3 are electrically connected to a fifth data line.

[0167] In some embodiments of this application, multiple pins in the second video interface 2200 and multiple pins in the third video interface 2300 are electrically connected via data lines. The video signal received by the second video interface 2200 can be directly transmitted to the third video interface 2300 via the data lines without the need for a conversion chip, thereby simplifying the structure of the connector 2000 and saving costs.

[0168] In some other embodiments, the third video interface 2300 may also be the second video interface 2200, that is, the structure of the third video interface 2300 is the same as that of the second video interface 2200. Correspondingly, the external display device 3000 is provided with a first video interface 1400.

[0169] In some other embodiments, the third video interface 2300 may also be the first video interface 1400, that is, the structure of the third video interface 2300 is the same as that of the first video interface 1400. Correspondingly, the external display device 3000 is provided with a second video interface 2200.

[0170] In addition to serving as the aforementioned data harness, the external connector 2100 can also function as an adapter board, with both the second video interface 2200 and the third video interface 2300 mounted on it. Furthermore, the adapter board has multiple wires, including a first wire, a second wire, a third wire, a fourth wire, a fifth wire, and a sixth wire. The first color component signal pin R3 is connected to the first color component signal pin R2 via the first wire; the second color component signal pin G3 is connected to the second color component signal pin G2 via the second wire; the third color component signal pin B3 is connected to the third color component signal pin B2 via the third wire; the horizontal synchronization pin HS3 is connected to the horizontal synchronization pin HS2 via the fourth wire; the vertical synchronization pin VS3 is connected to the horizontal synchronization pin VS2 via the fifth wire; and the ground pin GND3 is connected to the ground pin GND2 via the sixth wire.

[0171] Figure 7A This is a radial cross-sectional view of a second video interface 2200 according to some embodiments.

[0172] Please see Figure 7A The second video interface 2200 includes a plug portion 2210 and at least one connection pin group 2220. The plug portion 2210 is capable of plugging into the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments (e.g., ...). Figure 6A The first video interface 1400 (as shown) Figure 5A The insertion slot 1410 (as shown) Figure 5A (As shown). The shape of the insertion part 2210 can match the shape of the insertion slot 1410.

[0173] The plug portion 2210 is provided with at least one base surface 2211, and the at least one connection pin group 2220 is disposed on the at least one base surface 2211.

[0174] One of the connection pin groups 2220 includes multiple pins 2221, and in some examples, some pins 2221 can receive the same signal. For example, one connection pin group 2220 includes multiple ground pins GND2.

[0175] In some examples, the number of base surfaces 2211 can be one, and the number of connection pin groups 2220 can also be one.

[0176] In some examples, there may be one base surface 2211 and multiple connection pin groups 2220, in which case multiple connection pin groups 2220 are disposed on one base surface 2211.

[0177] In some examples, there can be multiple base surfaces 2211, while there can be only one connecting pin group 2220. In this case, multiple pins 2221 in a connecting pin group 2220 can be respectively disposed on multiple base surfaces 2211. For example, Figure 7A As shown, there can be two base surfaces 2211, while there is one connecting pin group 2220.

[0178] In some examples, there can be multiple base surfaces 2211 and multiple connection pin groups 2220. For example, the number of base surfaces 2211 and the number of connection pin groups 2220 can be the same, in which case one connection pin group 2220 can be set on one base surface 2211.

[0179] When the plug part 2210 is inserted into the plug slot 1410, the multiple pins 2221 on the base surface 2211 can correspond one-to-one with the multiple terminals 1421 on the mounting surface 1430 and be electrically connected.

[0180] Each connection pin group 2220 includes at least the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, the third color component signal pin B2, the horizontal synchronization pin HS2, the vertical synchronization pin VS2, and the ground pin GND2.

[0181] In some examples, a connection pin group 2220 may include only the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, the third color component signal pin B2, the horizontal sync pin HS2, the vertical sync pin VS2, and the ground pin GND2. In some examples, the connection pin group 2220 may also include the serial data signal pin SDA2 and the serial clock signal pin SCL2.

[0182] For example, the first color component signal pin R2 can be the red component signal pin, in which case the first color component signal pin R2 is used to receive the red component signal.

[0183] The second color component signal pin G2 is the green component signal pin. At this time, the second color component signal pin G2 is used to receive the green component signal.

[0184] The third color component signal pin B2 is the blue component signal pin. In this case, the third color component signal pin B2 is used to receive the blue component signal.

[0185] Please see Figure 7A And see also Figure 5A When the plug-in part 2210 is inserted into the plug-in slot 1410, the first color component signal pin R2 is electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal R1 in the electronic device 1000; the second color component signal pin G2 is electrically connected to the second color component signal terminal G1 in the electronic device 1000; the third color component signal pin B2 is electrically connected to the third color component signal terminal B1 in the electronic device 1000; the horizontal synchronization pin HS2 is electrically connected to the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1 in the electronic device 1000; the vertical synchronization pin VS2 is electrically connected to the vertical synchronization terminal VS1 in the electronic device 1000; and the ground pin GND2 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND1 in the electronic device 1000.

[0186] In the second video interface 2200, since multiple pins 2221 in the connection pin group 2220 are set on the base surface 2211, the base surface 2211 can support the multiple pins 2221, thereby reducing the phenomenon of the pins 2221 bending due to insufficient strength. Therefore, the size of the pins 2221 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall volume occupied by the multiple pins 2221, that is, reducing the size of the connection pin group 2220, and thus reducing the volume of the second video interface 2200.

[0187] In some embodiments of this application, the second video interface 2200 in the external component 2000 can not only transmit video signals, but also be compatible with the first video interface 1400 provided in the above embodiments. Therefore, by reducing the size of the first video interface 1400, the size of the second video interface 2200 will also be reduced accordingly.

[0188] Please see Figure 7A And see also Figure 5A In some embodiments, where the first video interface 1400 further includes a tongue plate 1440: in the second video interface 2200, the plug portion 2210 further includes a receiving groove 2212 for accommodating the tongue plate 1440; the opposite side of the receiving groove 2212 is a base surface 2211. In this case, the male connector of the type-C interface can serve as the second video interface 2200.

[0189] In some examples, the receiving slot 2212 includes four slot sides. In some examples, two slot sides that are opposite to each other are arranged in parallel.

[0190] In some examples, the four slot sides of the receiving slot 2212 include two first slot sides and two second slot sides arranged opposite each other, wherein, in the radial section of the second video interface 2200, the length of the first slot side is greater than the length of the second slot side, and the first slot side can serve as the base surface 2211.

[0191] In some examples, both sides of the first groove can serve as the base surface 2211. In other examples, one of the two sides of the first groove can serve as the base surface 2211.

[0192] In some examples, the male connector of the Type-C interface can serve as a second video interface 2200, meaning that the structure of the male connector of the Type-C interface is the same as that of the second video interface 2200. However, the signals received by several pins in the male connector of the Type-C interface are different from the signals received by several pins in the second video interface 2200.

[0193] Please see Figure 7A And see also Figure 5AWhen the first video interface 1400 also includes an elastic element 1450: when the plug portion 2210 of the second video interface 2200 is inserted into the plug slot 1410 of the first video interface 1400, the elastic element 1450 can be squeezed and elastically deformed, thereby generating pressure on the plug portion 2210 and fixing the plug portion 2210, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection between the first video interface 1400 and the second video interface 2200 and preventing the plug portion 2210 from falling out of the plug slot 1410.

[0194] Figure 7B A radial cross-sectional view of a second video interface 2200 according to some other embodiments.

[0195] The first video interface 1400 is Figure 5B The structure shown refers to the case where the insertion slot 1410 includes two opposing slot sidewalls 1411, and the slot sidewalls 1411 are the mounting surface 1430: Please refer to Figure 7B The connector 2210 includes a connector board 2213, which includes two oppositely arranged connector surfaces 2214, each of which serves as a base surface 2211. In this case, the male connector of the Lightning interface can be used as a second video interface 2200.

[0196] In some examples, the plug-in board 2213 includes four plug-in surfaces 2214, including two opposing first plug-in surfaces and two opposing second plug-in surfaces, wherein the first plug-in surfaces can serve as base surfaces 2211.

[0197] In some examples, one of the two first plug-in surfaces is the base surface 2211, in which case the multiple pins 2221 of the second video interface 2200 are only located on one of the first plug-in surfaces.

[0198] In other examples, both first plug surfaces are base surfaces 2211. In this case, the multiple pins 2221 of the second video interface 2200 are only located on the two first plug surfaces.

[0199] Please see Figure 7B And see also Figure 5B When the plug plate 2213 is inserted into the plug slot 1410, the two first slot sidewalls (i.e., the mounting surface 1430) are respectively positioned opposite to the two first plug surfaces (i.e., the base surface 2211).

[0200] In some of the embodiments described below, taking the first video interface 1400 including a tongue plate 1440 and the plug portion 2210 including a receiving groove 2212 as examples, some embodiments of this application will be illustrated by way of example.

[0201] Figure 8A radial cross-sectional view of a first video interface 1400 according to some other embodiments.

[0202] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the radial cross-section of the insertion slot 1410 is a centrally symmetric shape. For example, the shape of the insertion slot 1410 can be a parallelogram, a circle, a rectangle, or other shapes. The insertion slot 1410 has a centrally symmetric point O1.

[0203] There are two mounting surfaces 1430 and two connection terminal groups 1420, with the two connection terminal groups 1420 respectively disposed on the two mounting surfaces 1430. The two mounting surfaces 1430 and the two connection terminal groups 1420 are centrally symmetrically distributed about the central symmetry point O1 of the radial cross-section of the insertion slot 1410. In this case, an existing Type-C female connector can be used as the first video interface 1400. For example, each mounting surface 1430 has twelve terminals 1421.

[0204] The fact that the two connection terminal groups 1420 are centrally symmetrically distributed about the radial cross-section of the insertion slot 1410 can be understood as the arrangement order of the multiple terminals 1421 in the two connection terminal groups 1420 being reversed. For example, on one mounting surface 1430, the third color component signal terminal B1, the vertical synchronization terminal VS1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the first color component signal terminal R1 are arranged sequentially along the third direction C. Other terminals in the connection terminal group 1420 (e.g., ground terminal GND1) can be arranged between any two adjacent terminals 1421. On the other mounting surface 1430, the third color component signal terminal B1, the vertical synchronization terminal VS1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the first color component signal terminal R1 are arranged sequentially in the opposite direction of the third direction C.

[0205] Since the radial cross-section of the plug slot 1410 is a centrally symmetrical figure, and the two mounting surfaces 1430 and the two connection terminal groups 1420 are all centrally symmetrically distributed about the central symmetry point O1 of the radial cross-section of the plug slot 1410, the first video interface 1400 can coincide with the original position after rotating 180° with the central symmetry point O1 as the center.

[0206] Figure 9 A radial cross-sectional view of a second video interface 2200 according to some other embodiments.

[0207] For the first video interface 1400 with a radially symmetrical cross-section provided in some of the above embodiments, please refer to... Figure 9In some embodiments of the external component 2000 provided in this application, the radial cross-section of the plug portion 2210 of the second video interface 2200 is a centrally symmetrical shape, and can be connected to the plug slot 1410 (e.g. Figure 8 The shape matches the shape shown.

[0208] The device comprises two base surfaces 2211 and two pin groups 2220, with each pin group 2220 positioned on one of the two base surfaces 2211. Both base surfaces 2211 and pin groups 2220 are centrally symmetrical about the central symmetry point O2 of the connector 2210. In this case, an existing male Type-C connector can be used as the second video interface 2200. For example, each base surface 2211 has twelve pins 2221.

[0209] The fact that the two connection pin groups 2220 are centrally symmetrical about the central symmetry point O2 of the plug portion 2210 can be understood as the arrangement order of multiple pins 2221 in the two connection pin groups 2220 being reversed. For example, on one base surface 2211, the third color component signal pin B2, vertical synchronization pin VS2, second color component signal pin G2, horizontal synchronization pin HS2, and first color component signal pin R2 are arranged sequentially along the fourth direction D, and other pins 2221 in the connection pin group 2220 (e.g., ground pin GND2) can be arranged between any two adjacent pins 2221. On the other base surface 2211, the third color component signal pin B2, vertical synchronization pin VS2, second color component signal pin G2, horizontal synchronization pin HS2, and first color component signal pin R2 are arranged sequentially in the opposite direction of the fourth direction D.

[0210] Since the radial cross section of the plug-in portion 2210 is a centrally symmetrical shape, and the two base surfaces 2211 and the two connection pin groups 2220 are all centrally symmetrically distributed about the central symmetry point O2 of the plug-in portion 2210, the second video interface 2200 can coincide with the original position after rotating 180° with the central symmetry point O2 as the center.

[0211] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the two mounting surfaces 1430 of the first video interface 1400 are the first mounting surface 1430A and the second mounting surface 1430B, respectively. Figure 9As shown, the two base surfaces 2211 of the second video interface 2200 are the first base surface 2211A and the second base surface 2211B, respectively. When the second video interface 2200 is inserted into the first video interface 1400 in the forward direction, the first mounting surface 1430A faces the first base surface 2211A, and the second mounting surface 1430B faces the second base surface 2211B. At this time, multiple pins 2221 in the two sets of connection pin groups 2220 can be connected one-to-one with multiple terminals 1421 in the two sets of connection terminal groups 1420.

[0212] Among them, due to the first video interface 1400 (e.g. Figure 8 As shown in the diagram, both the first video interface 1400 and the second video interface 2200 are centrally symmetrical. Therefore, the second video interface 2200 can also be inserted into the first video interface 1400 in reverse. In this case, the first mounting surface 1430A faces the second base surface 2211B, while the second mounting surface 1430B faces the first base surface 2211A. Furthermore, since the first video interface 1400 (as shown in the diagram)... Figure 8 As shown, both the first video interface 1400 and the second video interface 2200 are centrally symmetrical. Therefore, multiple pins 2221 in the two sets of connection pin groups 2220 can still be connected one-to-one with multiple terminals 1421 in the two sets of connection terminal groups 1420. This enables the first video interface 1400 to be inserted in both the forward and reverse directions, and the second video interface 2200 to be inserted in both the forward and reverse directions, thus facilitating user operation.

[0213] Specifically, when the second video interface 2200 can be inserted into the first video interface 1400 in both the forward and reverse directions, the female connector of the type-C interface can serve as the first video interface 1400, while the male connector of the type-C interface serves as the second video interface 2200.

[0214] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the radial cross-section of the insertion slot 1410 has two axes of symmetry, and the two axes of symmetry are perpendicular to each other. The intersection of the two axes of symmetry can be the central symmetry point O1 of the radial cross-section of the insertion slot 1410. For example, one of the two axes of symmetry of the radial cross-section of the insertion slot 1410 is a first axis of symmetry L1, and the other is a second axis of symmetry L2.

[0215] Both mounting surfaces 1430 are parallel to one of the two axes of symmetry, and both mounting surfaces 1430 are perpendicular to the other of the two axes of symmetry. For example, both mounting surfaces 1430 are parallel to the first axis of symmetry L1, and both mounting surfaces 1430 are perpendicular to the second axis of symmetry L2.

[0216] In some examples, the radial section of the insertion slot 1410 may have one and only two axes of symmetry.

[0217] The radial section of the insertion slot 1410 has two axes of symmetry, which allows the user to easily adjust the insertion direction of the second video interface 2200 and insert the second video interface 2200 into the first video interface 1400 in the correct insertion direction.

[0218] In relation to the first video interface 1400 of the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments, a matching second video interface 2200 is provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0219] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, in the second video interface 2200, the radial cross-section of the plug portion 2210 has two axes of symmetry, and the two axes of symmetry are perpendicular to each other. Both base surfaces 2211 are parallel to one of the two axes of symmetry, and both base surfaces 2211 are perpendicular to the other of the two axes of symmetry.

[0220] In some examples, the radial section of the insertion part 2210 has two axes of symmetry, namely the third axis of symmetry L3 and the fourth axis of symmetry L4. For example, both base surfaces 2211 are parallel to the third axis of symmetry L3 and both base surfaces 2211 are perpendicular to the fourth axis of symmetry L4.

[0221] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the radial section of the insertion slot 1410 in the extension direction of the first axis of symmetry L1 is greater than the width of the radial section of the insertion slot 1410 in the extension direction of the second axis of symmetry L2. In this case, both mounting surfaces 1430 can be parallel to the first axis of symmetry L1, thereby making the dimensions of the mounting surface 1430 in the extension direction of the first axis of symmetry L1 larger, which is convenient for arranging multiple terminals 1421, so as to avoid the distance between two adjacent terminals 1421 being too small, which would cause a short circuit between the two adjacent terminals 1421.

[0222] In some examples, on the mounting surface 1430, a plurality of terminals 1421 are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the first axis of symmetry L1.

[0223] In relation to the first video interface 1400 of the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments, a matching second video interface 2200 is provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0224] like Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, in the second video interface 2200, the width of the radial section of the plug portion 2210 in the extension direction of the third axis of symmetry L3 is greater than the width of the radial section of the plug portion 2210 in the extension direction of the fourth axis of symmetry L4. In this case, both base surfaces 2211 can be parallel to the third axis of symmetry L3, thereby making the size of the base surface 2211 in the extension direction of the third axis of symmetry L3 larger, which is convenient for arranging multiple pins 2221, so as to avoid the distance between two adjacent pins 2221 being too small, which would cause a short circuit between the two adjacent pins 2221.

[0225] In some examples, multiple pins 2221 are arranged sequentially on the base surface 2211 along a direction parallel to the third axis of symmetry L3.

[0226] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the first video interface 1400, at least one other terminal 1421 in the connection terminal group 1420 is provided at intervals between any two terminals of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1 and the third color component signal terminal B1.

[0227] For ease of description, the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1 are all referred to as color component terminals.

[0228] In this configuration, at least one other terminal 1421 in the terminal group 1420 can be provided between two adjacent color component terminals. In some examples, one other terminal 1421 can be provided between two adjacent color component terminals. In other examples, multiple other terminals 1421 can be provided between two adjacent color component terminals; for example, two, three, or even more other terminals 1421 can be provided between two adjacent color component terminals.

[0229] For example, a ground terminal GND1 and a horizontal synchronization terminal HS1 can be provided between the first color component signal terminal R1 and the second color component signal terminal G1. A vertical synchronization terminal VS and a ground terminal GND1 are provided between the second color component signal terminal G1 and the third color component signal terminal B1.

[0230] For example, the signals transmitted by the color component terminals (including the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1) are analog signals.

[0231] In some embodiments of this application, by providing at least one other terminal in the connection terminal group 1420 between two adjacent color component terminals, the distance between two adjacent color component terminals can be increased, thereby preventing interference with the color component signals transmitted by the two adjacent color component terminals.

[0232] In relation to the first video interface 1400 of the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments, a matching second video interface 2200 is provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0233] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, in the second video interface 2200, at least one other pin 2221 in the connection pin group 2220 is provided between any two pins of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2 and the third color component signal pin B2.

[0234] For ease of description, the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 are all referred to as color component pins.

[0235] In this configuration, at least one other pin 2221 in the pin group 2220 can be provided between two adjacent color component pins. In some examples, an additional terminal can be provided between two adjacent color component pins. In other examples, multiple additional terminals can be provided between two adjacent color component pins; for instance, two, three, or even more additional pins can be provided between two adjacent color component pins.

[0236] For example, a ground pin GND2 and a horizontal sync pin HS2 can be provided between the first color component signal pin R2 and the second color component signal pin G2. A vertical sync pin VS and a ground pin GND2 are provided between the second color component signal pin G2 and the third color component signal pin B2.

[0237] For example, the signals transmitted by the color component pins (including the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2) are analog signals.

[0238] In some embodiments of this application, at least one other pin in the connection pin group 2220 is provided between two adjacent color component pins. In some examples, an additional terminal may be provided between two adjacent color component pins. In another, the distance between two adjacent color component pins may be increased, thereby preventing interference between the color component signals transmitted by the two adjacent color component pins.

[0239] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the first video interface 1400, at least one of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1 is disposed adjacent to the ground terminal GND1.

[0240] In some examples, any one or any two of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1 can be arranged adjacent to the ground terminal GND1.

[0241] In other examples, each of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1 may be arranged adjacent to the ground terminal GND1.

[0242] Specifically, by setting a grounding terminal GND1 on one side of the color component terminals (including the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1), the grounding terminal GND1 can shield interference, thereby preventing the signal in the terminal that is close to the color component terminal from interfering with the signal transmitted in the color component terminal.

[0243] In addition, when the first video interface 1400 is installed on the second interface board, if the color component terminal is adjacent to the ground terminal GND1, the sixth conductive connection line for transmitting the ground signal can be conveniently placed on one side of the conductive connection line (including the first conductive connection line, the second conductive connection line, and the third conductive connection line) used for transmitting the color component signal. The sixth conductive connection line can shield the interference of other wires on the color component signals in the first conductive connection line, the second conductive connection line, and the third conductive connection line.

[0244] In relation to the first video interface 1400 of the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments, a matching second video interface 2200 is provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0245] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, in the second video interface 2200, at least one of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 is arranged adjacent to the ground pin GND2.

[0246] In some examples, any one or any two of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 can be set adjacent to the ground pin GND2.

[0247] In other examples, each of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 can be positioned adjacent to the ground pin GND2.

[0248] Specifically, by setting a ground pin GND2 on one side of the color component pins (including the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2), the ground pin GND2 can shield interference, thereby preventing the signal in pin 2221, which is close to the color component pin, from interfering with the signal transmitted in the color component pin.

[0249] In addition, when the second video interface 2200 is set on the adapter board, the color component pin is adjacent to the ground pin GND2, which makes it convenient to set the sixth wire for transmitting the ground signal on one side of the wires (including the first wire, the second wire and the third wire) used to transmit the color component signal. The sixth wire can shield the interference of other wires on the color component signals in the first wire, the second wire and the third wire.

[0250] When the external host 2100 (such as Figure 6A When multiple data lines are included (as shown), the first, second, and third data lines used to transmit color component signals are surrounded by a ground wire (i.e., the sixth data line). In this case, the sixth data line can shield the color component signals in the first, second, and third data lines from interference from signals in other data lines. It is understood that the first data line is insulated from the sixth data line surrounding it, the second data line is insulated from the sixth data line surrounding it, and the third data line is insulated from the sixth data line surrounding it. At this time, the color component pin is adjacent to the ground pin GND2, facilitating the wrapping of the sixth data line around the outer surface of the first, second, and third data lines.

[0251] like Figure 8 As shown, the connection terminal group 1420 includes at least one set of sub-connection terminal groups 1420A. Each sub-connection terminal group 1420A includes an adjacent first terminal 1422 and a second terminal 1423. The distance between the first terminal 1422 and the second terminal 1423 is less than the distance between the first terminal 1422 and other terminals in the connection terminal group 1420, and less than the distance between the second terminal 1423 and other terminals 1421 in the connection terminal group 1420. The first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1 are disposed in different sub-connection terminal groups 1420A.

[0252] In some examples, three sub-connection terminal groups 1420A can be provided in one connection terminal group 1420, with the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1 respectively disposed within the three sub-connection terminal groups 1420A. Wherein... Figure 8 In the exemplary embodiment provided, the connection terminal group 1420 includes at least three sub-connection terminal groups 1420A.

[0253] For example, on the first mounting surface 1430A, in the first sub-connection terminal group 1420A, the first terminal 1422 is the second terminal, and the second terminal 1423 is the third terminal. In the second sub-connection terminal group 1420A, the first terminal 1422 is the sixth terminal, and the second terminal 1423 is the seventh terminal. In the third sub-connection terminal group 1420A, the first terminal 1422 is the eleventh terminal, and the second terminal 1423 is the tenth terminal. It should be noted that on the first mounting surface 1430A, the first terminal, the second terminal... the twelfth terminal are sequentially arranged along the third direction C.

[0254] Correspondingly, on the second mounting surface 1430B, in the first sub-connection terminal group 1420A, the first terminal 1422 is the second terminal, and the second terminal 1423 is the third terminal. In the second sub-connection terminal group 1420A, the first terminal 1422 is the sixth terminal, and the second terminal 1423 is the seventh terminal. In the third sub-connection terminal group 1420A, the first terminal 1422 is the eleventh terminal, and the second terminal 1423 is the tenth terminal. It should be noted that on the second mounting surface 1430B, the first terminal, the second terminal…the twelfth terminal are arranged sequentially in the opposite direction to the third direction C.

[0255] In other examples, a sub-connection terminal group 1420A may be provided in a connection terminal group 1420, in which case one of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1 and the third color component signal terminal B1 is provided in the sub-connection terminal group 1420A.

[0256] In other examples, two sub-connection terminal groups 1420A can be set in one connection terminal group 1420. In this case, any two of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1 and the third color component signal terminal B1 can be set in the two sub-connection terminal groups 1420A respectively.

[0257] Since the distance between the first terminal 1422 and the second terminal 1423 is relatively close, the interference between the first terminal 1422 and the second terminal 1423 is relatively large. In some embodiments of this application, the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1 and the third color component signal terminal B1 are disposed in different sub-connection terminal groups 1420A, so as to avoid the distance between two adjacent color component signal terminals being too close, thereby avoiding interference between the color component signals transmitted in the two adjacent color component signal terminals.

[0258] In relation to the first video interface 1400 of the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments, a matching second video interface 2200 is provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0259] like Figure 9 As shown, the connection pin group 2220 includes at least one sub-connection pin group 2220A. Each sub-connection pin group 2220A includes adjacent first pin 2222 and second pin 2223. The distance between the first pin 2222 and the second pin 2223 is less than the distance between the first pin 2222 and other pins in the connection pin group 2220, and less than the distance between the second pin 2223 and other pins in the connection pin group 2220. The first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 are located in different sub-connection pin groups 2220A.

[0260] In some examples, three sub-connection pin groups 2220A can be configured within a single connection pin group 2220, with the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 respectively configured within the three sub-connection pin groups 2220A. Wherein... Figure 9 In the exemplary embodiment provided, the connection pin group 2220 includes at least three sub-connection pin groups 2220A.

[0261] For example, on the first base surface 2211A, in the first sub-connection pin group 2220A, the first pin 2222 is the second pin, and the second pin 2223 is the third pin. In the second sub-connection pin group 2220A, the first pin 2222 is the sixth pin, and the second pin 2223 is the seventh pin. In the third sub-connection pin group 2220A, the first pin 2222 is the eleventh pin, and the second pin 2223 is the tenth pin. It should be noted that on the first base surface 2211A, the first pin, the second pin... the twelfth pin are sequentially arranged along the fourth direction C.

[0262] Correspondingly, on the second base surface 2211B, in the first sub-connection pin group 2220A, the first pin 2222 is the second pin, and the second pin 2223 is the third pin. In the second sub-connection pin group 2220A, the first pin 2222 is the sixth pin, and the second pin 2223 is the seventh pin. In the third sub-connection pin group 2220A, the first pin 2222 is the eleventh pin, and the second pin 2223 is the tenth pin. It should be noted that on the second base surface 2211B, the first pin, the second pin…the twelfth pin are sequentially arranged in the opposite direction of the fourth direction C.

[0263] In other examples, a sub-connection pin group 2220A can be set in a connection pin group 2220, in which case one of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2 and the third color component signal pin B2 is set in the sub-connection pin group 2220A.

[0264] In some other examples, two sub-connection pin groups 2220A can be set in a single connection pin group 2220. In this case, any two of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2 can be set in the two sub-connection pin groups 2220A respectively.

[0265] Since the distance between the first pin 2222 and the second pin 2223 is relatively close, the interference between the first pin 2222 and the second pin 2223 is relatively large. In some embodiments of this application, the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2 and the third color component signal pin B2 are set in different sub-connection pin groups 2220A, so as to avoid the distance between two adjacent color component signal pins being too close, thereby avoiding interference between the color component signals transmitted in the two adjacent color component signal pins.

[0266] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the first video interface 1400, the first terminal 1422 is any one of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1 and the third color component signal terminal B1, and the second terminal 1423 is the ground terminal GND1.

[0267] In this design, a color component terminal (including any one of the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, and the third color component signal terminal B1) and a ground terminal GND1 are located in the same sub-connection terminal group 1420A. In this case, although the distance between the color component terminal and the ground terminal GND1 is relatively short, the ground terminal GND1 will not interfere with the signal in the color component terminal, thus preventing interference from adjacent terminals. Furthermore, the ground terminal GND1 can also shield the signal in the color component terminal from interference from other terminals, thereby improving the problem of interference with the color component signal transmitted in the color component terminal.

[0268] In some examples, at least one terminal 1421 is provided between two adjacent sub-connection terminal groups 1420A.

[0269] In relation to the first video interface 1400 of the electronic device 1000 provided in some of the above embodiments, a matching second video interface 2200 is provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0270] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first pin 2222 is any one of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2, and the second pin 2223 is the ground pin GND2.

[0271] In this design, a color component pin (including any one of the first color component signal pin R2, the second color component signal pin G2, and the third color component signal pin B2) and a ground pin GND2 are located in the same sub-connection pin group 2220A. In this case, although the color component pin and the ground pin GND2 are close together, the ground pin GND2 will not interfere with the signal in the color component pin, thus preventing interference from adjacent pins. Furthermore, the ground pin GND2 can also shield the signal in the color component pin from interference from other pins, thereby improving the problem of interference with the color component signal transmitted through the color component pin.

[0272] In some examples, at least one pin 2221 is provided between two adjacent sub-connection pin groups 2220A.

[0273] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the connection terminal group 1420 in the first video interface 1400 further includes an identification terminal ID1. The identification terminal ID1 is capable of receiving a first level signal.

[0274] In some examples, there can be multiple identification terminals ID1, and multiple identification terminals ID1 are electrically connected.

[0275] For example, a connection terminal group 1420 includes two identification terminals ID1, and other terminals 1421 in the connection terminal group 1420 are disposed between the two identification terminals ID1.

[0276] In some examples, on the first mounting surface 1430A, along the third direction C, the fourth and ninth terminals are both identification terminals ID1. Correspondingly, on the second mounting surface 1430B, along the opposite direction of the third direction C, the fourth and ninth terminals are both identification terminals ID1.

[0277] In the case where the terminal block 1420 also includes an identification terminal ID1: For example Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the second video interface 2200 further includes an identification pin ID2.

[0278] In some examples, there can be multiple identification pins ID2, and these multiple identification pins ID2 are electrically connected.

[0279] For example, a connection pin group 2220 includes two identification pins ID2, and other pins 2221 in the connection pin group 2220 are disposed between the two identification pins ID2.

[0280] In some examples, on the first base surface 2211A, along the fourth direction D, both the fourth and ninth pins are identification pins ID2. Correspondingly, on the second base surface 2211B, along the opposite direction of the fourth direction D, both the fourth and ninth pins are identification pins ID2.

[0281] When the second video interface 2200 is connected to the first video interface 1400 (e.g.) Figure 8 When docking (as shown), the identification pin ID2 and the identification terminal ID1 (as shown) Figure 8 (As shown) Electrical connection, at this time, the identification pin ID2 can send a first level signal to the identification terminal ID1.

[0282] Figure 10 This is a structural block diagram of an electronic system 4000 according to some other embodiments.

[0283] Please see Figure 10 The identification pin ID2 is electrically connected to the ground pin GND2. At this time, the ground signal is the first level signal, so no other signal needs to be introduced.

[0284] Please see Figure 10The electronic device 1000 may also include: a graphics processing unit 1510 and a switching circuit 1600. As can be seen from the above, such as... Figure 4B As shown, the graphics processing unit 1510 can be integrated into the central processing unit 1500. Furthermore, as... Figure 1C As shown, the graphics processing unit 1510 can also be independent of the central processing unit 1500. In this case, the graphics processing unit 1510 is not integrated into the central processing unit 1500, and the graphics processing unit 1510 can be an independent graphics processor.

[0285] The graphics processing unit 1510 is electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1 via a switching circuit 1600; and the switching circuit 1600 is electrically connected to the identification terminal ID1. The switching circuit 1600 is configured to: when the identification terminal ID1 receives a first level signal, control the graphics processing unit 1510 to conduct between the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1; and when the identification terminal ID1 does not receive the first level signal, control the graphics processing unit 1510 to disconnect from the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1.

[0286] The grounding terminal GND1 of the first video interface 1400 is grounded. When the second video interface 2200 is connected to the first video interface 1400, the grounding terminal GND1 is electrically connected to the grounding pin GND2, thereby grounding the grounding pin GND2. In addition, since the identification pin ID2 is electrically connected to the identification terminal ID1, the identification terminal ID1 can be grounded and receive a grounding signal, which is the first level signal. At this time, the switching circuit 1600 can detect that the identification terminal ID1 has received the first level signal, thereby controlling the graphics processing unit 150 to conduct with the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1.

[0287] In some examples, the first video interface 1400 can accommodate not only the second video interface 2200, but also other interfaces. For instance, if the structure of the first video interface 1400 has the same external shape as the female connector of a Type-C interface, a male connector for a Type-C interface can also be inserted into the first video interface 1400. However, since the voltage levels of multiple terminals in the first video interface 1400 differ from those of multiple pins in the male connector of the Type-C interface, if the electronic device 1000 continues to output video signals through the first video interface 1400 while the first video interface 1400 is electrically connected to the male connector of the Type-C interface, the Type-C interface will be damaged. In the male connector of the Type-C interface, the fourth and ninth terminals are not electrically connected to the ground terminal. Therefore, when the male connector of the Type-C interface is inserted into the first video interface 1400, the identification terminal ID1 of the first video interface 1400 cannot be grounded, that is, the identification terminal ID1 cannot receive the first level signal. Consequently, the switching circuit 1600 will control the graphics processing unit 1510 to disconnect from the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1, so that the first video interface 1400 has no output, thereby preventing the male connector of the Type-C interface from being burned out.

[0288] In some embodiments of this application, the identification terminal ID1 can only receive the first level signal when the second video interface 2200 is inserted into the first video interface 1400. Only then will the switching circuit 1600 control the graphics processing unit 1510 to conduct with the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1. This allows the graphics processing unit 1510 to send the first color component signal r to the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal g to the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal b to the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization signal hs to the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization signal vs to the vertical synchronization terminal VS1. Consequently, when other interfaces (e.g., Type-C) are inserted into the first video interface 1400, the first video interface 1400 has no output, thus preventing other interfaces (e.g., Type-C) from being damaged.

[0289] Figure 11 This is a structural block diagram of an electronic system 4000 according to some other embodiments.

[0290] like Figure 11As shown, the switching circuit 1600 includes multiple switching sub-circuits 1610, an adjustment module 1620, and a control module 1630. The graphics processing unit 1510 is electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1 via the multiple switching sub-circuits 1610. The adjustment module 1620 is electrically connected to the second level signal terminal VDD and the identification terminal ID1. The adjustment module 1620 is configured to: output a first level signal when the identification terminal ID1 receives the first level signal; and output the second level signal received at the second level signal terminal VDD when the identification terminal ID1 does not receive the first level signal.

[0291] The adjustment module 1620 can adjust the level signal output to the control module 1630 according to whether there is input at the identification terminal ID1.

[0292] In some examples, the adjustment module 1620 may include a resistor 1621, one end of which is electrically connected to the second level signal terminal VDD, and the other end is electrically connected to the identification terminal ID1.

[0293] When a second video interface 2200 is inserted into the first video interface 1400, the resistance between the identification terminal ID1 and the control module 1630 is much smaller than the resistance of resistor 1621. Therefore, the second-level signal cannot be transmitted to the control module 1630, while the first-level signal can be transmitted to the control module 1630. When other interfaces are inserted into the first video interface 1400, the identification terminal ID1 is suspended, meaning there is no input to the identification terminal ID1, and therefore the identification terminal ID1 does not receive the first-level signal. Consequently, the control module 1630 cannot receive the first-level signal. In this case, the second-level signal received by the control module 1630 at the second-level signal terminal VDD can be transmitted to the control module 1630 through resistor 1621.

[0294] Specifically, by setting resistor 1621, it is possible to distinguish whether the identification terminal ID1 receives the first level signal. If the identification terminal ID1 receives the first level signal, the first level signal is sent to the control module 1630. If the identification terminal ID1 does not receive the first level signal, the second level signal is sent to the control module 1630.

[0295] In some examples, the level of the second level signal can be higher than the level of the first level signal. For example, the first level signal may be a ground signal, while the second level signal may be a constant level signal that is higher than the level of the first level signal.

[0296] In other examples, the level of the second level signal may also be lower than the level of the first level signal.

[0297] The control module 1630 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 1620 and multiple switching sub-circuits 1610. The control module 1630 is configured to: control the multiple switching sub-circuits 1610 to turn on when it receives a first level signal output by the adjustment module 1620; and control the multiple switching sub-circuits 1610 to turn off when it receives a second level signal output by the adjustment module 1620.

[0298] The control module 1630 can be electrically connected to each switch sub-circuit 1610 and control each switch sub-circuit 1610 to be turned on or off. For example, the switch sub-circuit 1610 may include an electronic switch. For example, the switch sub-circuit 1610 may also include a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET).

[0299] When the plurality of switching sub-circuits 1610 are turned on, the graphics processing unit 1510 can be electrically connected to the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1. When the plurality of switching sub-circuits 1610 are turned off, the graphics processing unit 1510 can be disconnected from the first color component signal terminal R1, the second color component signal terminal G1, the third color component signal terminal B1, the horizontal synchronization terminal HS1, and the vertical synchronization terminal VS1.

[0300] In some of the embodiments described above, the adjustment module 1620 can adjust the output level signal according to whether there is an input at the identification terminal ID1, while the control module 1630 can control the switch sub-circuit 1610 to be turned on or off according to the level signal output by the adjustment module 1620, thereby preventing the electronic device 1000 from outputting a video signal when other interfaces are plugged into the first video interface 1400, which would cause the other interfaces to be burned out.

[0301] In some of the embodiments above, the structure of the first video interface 1400 may be the same as the structure of the female connector of the type-C interface. In some of the embodiments below, for ease of description, both the first video interface 1400 and the female connector of the type-C interface will be referred to as the setting interface.

[0302] Figure 12 This is a radial cross-sectional view of the interface according to some embodiments.

[0303] Please see Figure 12The interface includes a tongue plate 1440, with two opposite tongue plate surfaces 1441, namely a first mounting surface 1430A and a second mounting surface 1430B. On the first mounting surface 1430A, 12 terminals are sequentially arranged along a third direction C, where the 12 terminals are A1, A2…A12. On the second mounting surface 1430B, 12 terminals are sequentially arranged in the opposite direction of the third direction C, where the 12 terminals are C1, C2…C12.

[0304] Please refer to Table 1, which shows the definitions of each terminal when the interface is configured as a female connector of a type-C interface, and the definitions of each terminal when the interface is configured as the first video interface 1400.

[0305] Table 1 shows one embodiment in which multiple terminals in the first video interface 1400 can be defined. In other embodiments, the definitions of multiple terminals can be changed.
