Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a fast IP address configuration method, and more particularly to a fast IP address configuration device, method, and OLED side window assembly. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of rail transit technology and the advancement of Ethernet communication technology, rail transit onboard systems, such as passenger information systems and TCMS systems, are gradually undergoing digital upgrades to Ethernet communication interface-based solutions. High-performance onboard switches are configured to network these digital systems, leveraging the high-performance data transmission and throughput capabilities of Ethernet communication equipment to significantly expand the functionality and improve the performance of the onboard systems. A key parameter for Ethernet communication equipment is its IP address; specific IP addresses must be configured for the equipment to function properly and network correctly.

[0003] The digital upgrade of in-vehicle systems based on Ethernet communication interfaces has led to the application of a large number of network communication devices in vehicles. The more Ethernet communication devices there are, the greater the workload of IP address configuration. Currently, IP address configuration methods commonly used include network configuration, DIP switch configuration, and remote control configuration. These methods all have serious drawbacks, including inconvenience in operation and increased difficulty in device structural design. For example, network configuration requires a portable computer and network cable to be prepared in advance and connected to the device network. Configuration is performed through computer software, which is quite cumbersome. For configuration via DIP switches, if the device is built-in, the device box needs to be opened to access the internal DIP switch. If the configuration is external, the structure needs to be designed to accommodate the DIP switch, which generally cannot achieve dust and water resistance and increases the difficulty of structural design.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a fast IP address configuration device according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the fast IP address configuration device 1 includes a device motherboard 2, a central processing unit (CPU) 3, a security isolation circuit 4, an external connector socket 5, an external connector 6, and at least one jumper wire 7. The CPU 3, the security isolation circuit 4, and the external connector socket 5 are disposed on the device motherboard 2, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the central processing unit 3 is located in the middle of the device motherboard 2, the external connector socket 5 is located at the right end of the device motherboard 2, and the safety isolation circuit 4 is located between the central processing unit 3 and the external connector socket 5. In this embodiment, the device motherboard 2 is an Ethernet communication device motherboard.

[0022] The security isolation circuit 4 is connected to the central processing unit 3. The central processing unit 3 has multiple I / O ports, the number of which can be selected according to actual needs. The security isolation circuit 4 has multiple lines, one end of which is connected to one I / O port. Here, "one line connected to one I / O port" means that each line is connected to one I / O port. Specifically, as follows... Figure 1As shown, there are 4 I / O ports and 4 lines, with one end of each of the 4 lines connected to one of the 4 I / O ports.

[0023] External connector socket 5 is connected to safety isolation circuit 4. External connector socket 5 includes multiple first sockets, multiple second sockets, and multiple third sockets. The multiple first sockets are at a high level, the multiple second sockets are connected to the other end of multiple lines respectively, and the multiple third sockets are at a low level. The number of multiple first plugs, multiple second plugs, and multiple third plugs is the same. Specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, the external connector socket 5 has 12 sockets, of which the upper 4 sockets are the first sockets with high level, the lower 4 sockets are the third sockets with low level, and the middle 4 sockets are the third sockets that are connected to the 4 lines one by one.

[0024] An external connector 6 is used to connect to an external connector socket 5. The external connector 6 has multiple first plugs, multiple second plugs, and multiple third plugs. When the external connector 6 is connected to the external connector socket 5, the multiple first plugs are connected to the multiple first sockets, the multiple second plugs are connected to the multiple second sockets, and the multiple third plugs are connected to the multiple third sockets. Specifically, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the external connector 6 has 12 plugs (pins), which are inserted one-to-one into the 12 sockets of the external connector socket 5. In this embodiment, the external connector 6 can be selected from various types according to structural protection requirements, including dustproof and waterproof connectors.

[0025] At least one jumper wire 7 is used for shorting between multiple plugs on the external connector 6. After the external connector 6 is plugged into the external connector socket 5, the jumper wire 7 shorts the plugs of the external connector 6, enabling rapid IP address configuration without requiring a computer for configuration, a network connection, opening the device's structural housing, or concerns about dust and water resistance, through different shorting methods.

[0026] Specifically, when the plug of external connector 6 is inserted into the 12-pin external connector 6, the central processing unit 3 reads the high and low levels through the four I / O pins and automatically configures the IP address according to the algorithm pre-configured by the software module, such as... Figure 1 As shown, shorting pins 2 and 7, pins 3 and 6, pins 4 and 5, and pins 8 and 9 of external connector 6 allows the CPU 3 to read from the four I / O pins that pins 5, 6, and 7 of the 12-pin connector are at a high level (1) and pin 8 is at a low level (0). The software algorithm is pre-configured; for example, when the CPU reads the data from the four I / O pins as 1110, the IP address is 192.168.10.1. Different jumper connections can be used to set different IP addresses, allowing for a total of 16 different addresses.

[0027] The fast IP address configuration device 1 in this embodiment uses an external connector 6. The external connector 6 can be selected from various types according to structural protection requirements, including dustproof and waterproof connectors. By using different jumper (short circuit) methods for the pins in the plugs of the external connector 6 and the external connector socket 5, the device can quickly configure IP addresses without configuring a programming computer, connecting to a network, opening the device's structural housing, or worrying about dustproof and waterproof issues.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a fast IP address configuration method according to an embodiment of this application. As shown, the fast IP address configuration method S of this embodiment is a method of using the aforementioned fast IP address configuration device 1. The fast IP address configuration method S includes the following steps S1 to S4. Wherein:

[0029] In step S1, the external connector 6 is plugged into the external connector socket 5. Specifically, the external connector 6 has 12 plugs (pins), and the 12 plugs of the external connector 6 are plugged into the 12-pin external connector socket 5.

[0030] In step S2, the central processing unit 3 reads high and low levels through multiple I / O ports and automatically configures the IP address. Specifically, there are four I / O ports. The central processing unit 3 reads the high and low levels through the pins of the four I / O ports and automatically configures the IP address according to the algorithm pre-configured by the software module.

[0031] In step S3, at least one jumper wire 7 is used to short-circuit the multiple plugs on the external connector 6. Specifically, there are 4 jumper wires 7, which short-circuit pins 2 and 7, pins 3 and 6, pins 4 and 5, and pins 8 and 9 of the external connector 6, respectively.

[0032] In step S4, the CPU 3 reads the high and low levels again through multiple I / O ports and automatically configures the IP address again. Specifically, the CPU 3 reads from the four I / O port pins that pins 5, 6, and 7 of the 12-pin connector are high (1) and pin 8 is low (0). The software algorithm pre-configures the IP address; for example, when the CPU reads the data 1110 from the four I / O ports, the IP address is 192.168.10.1. Different jumper wire methods can set different IP addresses, allowing for a total of 16 different addresses. This enables different IP address settings for different shorting methods of jumper wire 7.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an OLED side window assembly according to an embodiment of this application. As shown, the OLED side window assembly 8 includes an OLED side window 81, a control box 82, and the aforementioned fast IP address configuration device 1. The control box 82 is disposed on the vehicle body panel (not shown in the figure). The control box 82 is connected to the OLED side window 81 and is used to control the information displayed on the display screen of the OLED side window 81. In this embodiment, the control box 82 is connected to the OLED side window 81 via a cable 83. The center of the OLED side window 81 assembly is a transparent display area 811, and the periphery is a black ink area 812.

[0034] The device motherboard 2 is housed within the control box 82. The external connector 6 is mounted on the structural components of the control box 82. In other words, multiple plugs of the external connector 6 pass through the control box 82 and are inserted into multiple sockets on the external connector socket 5 on the device motherboard 2. This allows for the selection of various types of external connectors 6 based on structural protection requirements. Furthermore, different IP addresses can be quickly configured by using different jumper configurations for the pins in the external connector 6. In this embodiment, the external connector socket 5 uses a waterproof DB9 interface.

[0035] For example, when it is necessary to configure the IP address of a certain window, the external connector 6 selects the DB9 plug, and then connects the DB9 plug to the DB9 interface on the structure of the control box 82 of the single OLED side window 81 by pre-jumping the wires. The DB9 interface is connected to the CPU, and there is a safety isolation circuit for the IO port between the DB9 interface and the CPU. The cables 1-3 on the DB9 interface are set to high level, the cables 7-9 are set to low level, and the cables 4-6 correspond to the IO ports.

[0036] Next, ports 1-3, 7-9, and 4-6 are configured using a short-circuit method. Then, according to the algorithm pre-configured in the software module, the CPU automatically generates different IP addresses after reading high and low level signals. Different jumper wire methods can be used to set different IP addresses, for a total of 2^3 IP addresses. Simultaneously, a maximum of 8 OLED windows can be installed in one carriage, which fully meets the needs of practical applications. After the IP addresses are configured, the PIS is connected via Ethernet, and the OLED windows stream PIS information. See the table below for specific setup methods:

[0037]

[0038] In summary, this application provides a rapid IP address configuration device, method, and OLED side window assembly. By additionally configuring an external connector, which can be selected from various types based on structural protection requirements, including dustproof and waterproof connectors, and then using different jumper (short-circuit) methods for the pins in the plugs of the external connector and its socket, rapid IP address configuration is achieved without requiring a programming computer, network connection, opening the device's casing, or concerns about dustproof and waterproof issues.
