Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for generating LED array package patterns, a storage medium, and a processor. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, LED matrix packaging fabrication typically requires manual placement using wiring tools, which is time-consuming. For example, placing an LED matrix package with 24x135 pixels and 24 columns, defining each LED as having 4 pads, requires manually inputting coordinates and pad pin names 96 times (24x4). If the package has larger pixels and more pins per LED, the number of manual inputs increases, leading to more time consumption and a higher probability of errors. Furthermore, checking the generated matrix package diagram is also very difficult.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for generating an LED array package diagram is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for generating an LED array package diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S102: Display the parameter configuration interface. The parameter configuration interface is used to prompt the configuration parameters corresponding to the LED array package.

[0028] Step S104: In response to the configuration operation in the above parameter configuration interface, the above LED array package diagram is generated, wherein the above LED array package diagram is generated based on the configuration parameters, the above configuration parameters include: array parameters, spacing parameters and sorting parameters;

[0029] Step S106: Display the above LED array package diagram.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the method for generating the LED array package diagram is applied to an LED array package diagram generation system. The system uses a display interface to display a parameter configuration interface, which is used to prompt the configuration parameters corresponding to the LED array package. In response to the configuration operation on the parameter configuration interface, the system generates the LED array package diagram. After obtaining the LED array package diagram, the system displays the array package diagram on the display interface.

[0031] It should be noted that, taking the routing tool software as an example, this software provides a customizable language. Using skills in the design process can greatly simplify the printed circuit board (PCB) drawing process, and various functions can also be customized. The LED array package diagram generation system described above uses the aforementioned routing tool software to generate the LED array package diagram.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 The parameter configuration interface shown is a schematic diagram. The configuration parameters are filled in on the parameter configuration interface. The configuration parameters include at least: LED pixel array, LED pixel pitch, LED PAD pitch, LED PAD pin packaging angle, LED PAD serial number X / Y direction sorting, pin name, pad size, pad type, etc. The system generates the LED array packaging diagram based on the above configuration parameters and the pre-set array packaging program.

[0033] Through the embodiments of the present invention, when manufacturing LED matrix packages, it is not necessary to manually input the coordinates and names of each column of pads, thus avoiding the situation of individual coordinate and name input errors and facilitating the generation of accurate package diagrams.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, before displaying the parameter configuration interface, the tips toolbar is first loaded into the menu bar of the wiring tool software.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, inserting the tips toolbar into the cabling tool software includes: copying the first folder corresponding to the tips toolbar to a first target path, wherein the first target path is a first preset initial path; adding the first target path to the environment variable setting folder of the cabling tool software; and restarting the cabling tool software to complete the insertion operation of the tips toolbar.

[0037] As an optional implementation, you can copy the SKILL TOOLS folder to a custom path; locate the PCBENV folder (environment variable settings file) of the routing tool software, and find the ALLEGRO.ILINIT file within it (if it doesn't exist, you can copy it from SKILL TOOLS). Open the ALLEGRO.ILINIT file with Notepad, and copy and add your own commands to the ALLEGRO.ILINIT file; finally, restart ALLEGRO. Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates the Skills toolbar interface, where the SKILL tool is inserted into the menu bar.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, adding the skill program to the skill toolbar includes: adding the skill program to the first folder; adding the second target path corresponding to the skill program in the first folder to the environment variable setting folder, wherein the second target path is a second preset initial path; and restarting the wiring tool software to complete the addition operation of the skill program.

UltraEdit software is used to edit the aforementioned technique program, according to... Figure 4 The flowchart shown generates the corresponding skill program.

[0040] Optional, as before Figure 4 As shown, the initial value of the technique program can be determined based on the configuration parameters of the LED pins input to the parameter configuration interface. The initial value is then assigned to the technique algorithm to obtain the algorithm expression. It is then determined whether the technique algorithm expression meets the preset requirements, such as whether it can run normally. If the preset requirements are met, the above algorithm expression is used to encapsulate a row or column in the pads. Finally, the algorithm expression of the row / column is looped to obtain the LED array encapsulation diagram.

[0041] As an optional implementation, place the files named LED8.il and cuimenus.il (overwriting the original files) in the skill tools folder. Open the allegro.ilinit file in the PCBENV folder and add the program path load("LED8.il") to the allegro.ilinit file to complete the above skill program addition operation.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned display parameter configuration interface includes: displaying the above-mentioned parameter configuration interface after detecting that the above-mentioned skill program in the above-mentioned skill toolbar has been triggered.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, by filling in the corresponding parameters according to the packaging requirements and triggering the generate button, the above-mentioned LED array packaging diagram can be generated with one click.

[0046] By following the steps above, it is possible to eliminate the need to manually input the coordinates and names of each column of pads when manufacturing LED matrix packages, thus avoiding errors in inputting individual coordinates and names and facilitating the generation of accurate package diagrams.
