The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0054] The display control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown in FIG. 1 , a display control device controls the display screen so that the display screen can display different screen images. To this end, the present application provides a display control device such as Figure 1As shown, the display control device includes a control device 102, a video conversion chip 104 and a chip controller 106. The control device 102 is connected to the video conversion chip 104 and the chip controller 106. The chip controller 106 is connected to the video conversion chip 104. The video conversion chip 104 is connected to the display screen. The control device 102 is used to control the display screen based on the methods described in the embodiments of the present application.

[0055] The control device 102 may be a chip of different models or an integrated body of multiple chips, capable of data storage, processing, calculation, and image generation and display, and capable of outputting signals to the video conversion chip 104 and the chip controller 106 respectively, and performing corresponding control. The image displayed on the display screen is also determined by the image data stored in the control device 102. The chip controller 106 may be a programmable logic device, capable of receiving the signal sent by the control device 102 and performing corresponding conversion or processing, and adjusting the working state of the video conversion chip 104 according to the signal, for example, controlling the video conversion chip 104 to reset. The video conversion chip 104 can transcode and process the signal output by the control device 102, convert it into corresponding image display data, and transmit it to the display screen for display.

[0056] Further, in one embodiment, the control device 102 includes a processor and a chip set, the processor is connected to the chip set and the chip controller 106, and the chip set is connected to the video conversion chip 104. The processor can be a processing chip of different models, capable of data processing and calculation, such as a miniaturized device of multiple electronic components and circuits integrated on a semiconductor chip, a central processing unit, a memory chip, etc. A chip set refers to encapsulating multiple different components or functional modules in an integral housing, which has the characteristics of high integration, easy installation and maintenance, strong scalability, and quick assembly, low cost, and easy maintenance. Exemplarily, the processor may include a Feiteng series CPU, and the chip set may be a corresponding Feiteng series chip set CPU, such as an X100 chip set processor. The Feiteng series CPU and the chip set CPU establish a communication connection through a high-speed communication bus interface of PCIE3.0 (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, the third generation high-speed serial computer expansion bus) to achieve data interaction and commonality.

[0057] The chip set can send the image data signal to the video conversion chip 104 through the DP (Display Port, digital video interface) interface. The video conversion chip 104 has the ability to transcode the received image data signal. After obtaining the corresponding image data, it transmits the image data to the display screen through the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface, high-definition multimedia interface or high-definition video interface) interface or LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling, low voltage differential signal, this application specifically refers to the transmission interface of the video signal) interface, and the corresponding picture is displayed on the display screen.

[0058] In one embodiment, the chip controller 106 is a CPLD. CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is an integrated circuit chip that can implement various circuit designs and logic processing through internal logic programming. It generally has multiple physical interface modules such as IO BANK to complete signal transmission and reception. The chip controller 106 can generate a corresponding reset level according to a preset reset signal sent by the processor to control the video conversion chip 104 to reset. Optionally, the chip controller 106 and the processor establish a communication connection through a GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output, a general purpose input / output interface, a form of interface for the processor) interface.

[0059] Furthermore, in one of the embodiments, the processor includes an operating system and a memory, the operating system is connected to the memory, the chip controller 106 and the chip set, and the memory is used to store a preset reset signal. The operating system refers to a software programmable system, which is usually carried on a chip with software programmability to work, such as the Feiteng series CPU, which meets the characteristics of full spectrum, high performance, complete ecology, high degree of autonomy, etc., and has high adaptability and compatibility. The memory refers to a device that can store data content, such as FLASH flash memory, which is a flash memory chip that can save program files. On the basis of the FLASH flash memory being configured with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which provides an interface connecting the operating system and hardware), it is connected to the UEFI interface of the Feiteng series CPU through SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface, a physical bus interface), so that the Feiteng series CPU can output corresponding signals according to the program in the FLASH flash memory.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2As shown, a display control method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The control device 102 in FIG. 1 is taken as an example to illustrate the method, which includes the following steps 202 to 206. Among them:

[0061] Step 202: Obtain a resolution switching instruction.

[0062] The resolution switching instruction refers to the instruction to switch the resolution of the picture displayed on the display screen. The corresponding signal needs to be sent from the control device's chip set to the video conversion chip, and then transmitted to the display screen by the video conversion chip. During the resolution switching process, due to compatibility issues between the control device's chip set and the chip conversion chip, the screen may flicker, affecting the user experience and reducing the reliability of display control.

[0063] In order to solve this problem, the control device will obtain the resolution switching instruction output by the chip set. Specifically, in the past, when switching the resolution, the chip set will directly generate image data signals of different resolutions and send them directly to the video conversion chip. In this embodiment, the chip set will first interact with the processor. After the resolution switching instruction is generated, it will be sent to the processor first. The processor will obtain the resolution switching instruction and execute subsequent steps to complete the display control.

[0064] Step 204: calling a preset reset signal based on the resolution switching instruction, and sending the preset reset signal to the chip controller.

[0065] The chip controller is connected to the video conversion chip and is used to control the reset of the video conversion chip, which is used to control the display screen. The chip controller is connected to the video conversion chip and can control the reset of the video conversion chip according to a preset reset signal. The video conversion chip can parse the image data signal to obtain the image data and transmit it to the display screen for display.

[0066] Specifically, after the control device receives the resolution switching instruction, that is, after the chip set needs to switch the resolution, it is necessary to disconnect the chip set and the video conversion chip to prevent the video conversion chip from erroneously obtaining image data due to incompatibility with the chip set, thereby causing the display screen to display erroneously and cause a flickering screen. The method of disconnecting the chip set and the video conversion chip is not limited. In this embodiment, the control device will call a preset reset signal when receiving the resolution switching instruction, and send the preset reset signal to the chip controller, and the chip controller will control the video conversion chip to reset to temporarily disconnect the data communication between the chip set and the video conversion chip to reduce the triggering of the flickering screen.

[0067] The preset reset signal is a pre-set data stored in the control device, specifically stored in the memory of the processor of the control device, that is, in the FLASH flash memory. The preset reset signal can be a preset IO level signal. In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, step 204 includes steps 302 to 304. Among them:

[0068] Step 302: Call a preset reset signal in a memory based on a resolution switching instruction.

[0069] Among them, the preset reset signal includes a reset response time and a reset control signal. The reset response time refers to the resolution switching time point set in the chip set. Some chips will switch the resolution at a specific time point during operation. Therefore, a reset response time can be set in the preset reset signal to ensure reliable control of the display process. The reset control signal is a signal that controls the video conversion chip to reset. Here, it can be an IO signal, which can be sent by the processor to the chip controller through the GPIO interface. Specifically, after receiving the resolution switching instruction, the control device will call the preset reset signal in the memory, including the reset response time and the reset control signal.

[0070] Step 304: When the chip operation time of the video conversion chip reaches the reset response time, a reset control signal is sent to the chip controller.

[0071] Specifically, since the control device controls the chip controller and the video conversion chip, the control device can record the chip operation time of the video conversion chip, and in essence, the chip operation time of the video conversion chip is the operation time of the set of chips in this operation. The reset response time can indicate that the set of chips needs to switch the resolution at a specific moment in this operation. Combined with the resolution switching instruction that has been received, when the chip operation time of the video conversion chip reaches the reset response time, it indicates that the set of chips needs to switch the resolution at this time. In order to reduce the screen flicker caused by compatibility issues, a reset control signal needs to be sent to the chip controller to disconnect the data interaction between the video conversion chip and the set of chips.

[0072] Optionally, the resolution switching instructions of the chip set may be different resolution switches, and thus the determined preset reset signal is also different. It can be determined based on the actual chip set model or the time required for resolution switching. For example, the reset response time in the preset reset signal changes with the change of the resolution switching instruction.

[0073] Step 206: When the video conversion chip is reset, output the image data signal to the video conversion chip.

[0074] Specifically, the control device can continue to output image data signals to the video conversion chip when the video conversion chip completes the reset. Optionally, the set of chips in the control device can also continue to output image data signals when the video conversion chip is reset. However, since the video conversion chip is being reset at this time, it will not respond to the image data signal, so the image data signal sent during the reset of the video conversion chip is equivalent to an invalid signal. Therefore, after the video conversion chip completes the reset, the resolution switching of the set of chips is usually completed, and the data interaction between the video conversion chip and the set of chips can be restored. The set of chips in the control device can output image data signals to the video conversion chip, so that the video conversion chip can continue to control the display screen to display the image.

[0075] The judgment on whether the reset of the video conversion chip is completed may be obtained by interacting with the chip controller, directly interacting with the video conversion chip, or analyzing according to a set reset condition or state.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, due to the different models, types and working parameters of the video conversion chip, the required reset time is also different. The preset reset signal may also include the reset completion time. Figure 4 As shown, step 206 also includes step 402: when the chip operation time reaches the reset completion time, outputting the image data signal to the video conversion chip.

[0077] When the video conversion chip is reset, it is necessary to analyze whether the reset of the video conversion chip is completed. If the preset reset signal also includes the reset completion time, the control device only needs to analyze whether the video conversion chip is reset in place according to the reset completion time in the preset reset signal: when the chip operation time reaches the reset completion time, the control device continues to interact with the video conversion chip and outputs an image data signal to the video conversion chip. Among them, since the chip operation time refers to the operation time of the video conversion chip, and the preset reset signal includes the reset response time, the time required for the video conversion chip to reset can be determined based on the model, type and working parameters of the video conversion chip. Combining the above two, the reset completion time can be obtained.

[0078] The above display control method includes obtaining a resolution switching instruction, calling a preset reset signal based on the resolution switching instruction, and sending the preset reset signal to the chip controller, and outputting an image data signal to the video conversion chip when the video conversion chip completes the reset. The chip controller is connected to the video conversion chip and is used to control the reset of the video conversion chip, and the video conversion chip is used to control the display of the display screen. By calling the preset reset signal to control the reset of the video conversion chip when switching the resolution of the display screen, the video conversion chip can re-control the display output of the display screen based on the image data signal after reset, thereby reducing the screen flickering phenomenon when the resolution is switched, which is conducive to improving the reliability of display control.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, step 206 includes steps 502 to 506 .

[0080] Step 502, obtaining the working status of the video conversion chip.

[0081] Specifically, in one embodiment, the detection of whether the video conversion chip has been reset can be determined based on the working state of the video conversion chip, and the processor of the control device can obtain the working state of the video conversion chip through the chip controller, such as whether the level generated by the chip controller based on the preset reset signal has been sent, or whether the chip controller has received a feedback signal from the video conversion chip, etc. Or the processor can directly interact with the video conversion chip to obtain its working state.

[0082] Step 504: when the working state of the video conversion chip indicates that the resetting is completed, output the image data signal to the video conversion chip.

[0083] Specifically, the control device analyzes whether the video conversion chip has been reset based on the working status of the video conversion chip. When the reset is completed, the video conversion chip can continue to convert the received image data signal and control the display screen. Optionally, the set of chips of the control device can stop outputting image data to the video conversion chip when the chip conversion chip is reset, and the set of chips of the control device can also continue to output image data signals when the video conversion chip is reset. However, it should be noted that when the video conversion chip is being reset, the video conversion chip will not respond to the image data signal, so the image data signal sent during the reset of the video conversion chip is equivalent to an invalid signal.

[0084] Step 506 , when the working status representation of the video conversion chip is not reset, after delaying a preset inspection time, obtaining the working status of the video conversion chip is executed.

[0085] If the working status of the video conversion chip indicates that the reset has not been completed, it may be considered that the reset completion time has not yet arrived, or the reset time of the video conversion chip is long, then step 502 can be re-executed after delaying the preset detection time. The preset detection time can be set according to the range of the reset time, and is not limited to a numerical value.

[0086] Based on the same technical concept, the present application also provides a display control device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display control device includes a control device 102, a video conversion chip 104 and a chip controller 106. The control device 102 is connected to the video conversion chip 104 and the chip controller 106. The chip controller 106 is connected to the video conversion chip 104. The video conversion chip 104 is connected to the display screen. The control device 102 is used to control the display screen based on the methods described in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] The control device 102 may be a chip of different models or an integrated body of multiple chips, capable of data storage, processing and calculation, and capable of outputting signals to the video conversion chip 104 and the chip controller 106 respectively, and performing corresponding control. The picture displayed on the display screen is also determined by the image data stored in the control device 102. The chip controller 106 may be a programmable logic device, capable of receiving the signal sent by the control device 102 and performing corresponding conversion or processing, and adjusting the working state of the video conversion chip 104 according to the signal, for example, controlling the video conversion chip 104 to reset. The video conversion chip 104 can transcode and process the signal output by the control device 102, convert it into corresponding image display data, and transmit it to the display screen for display.

[0088] Further, in one embodiment, the control device 102 includes a processor and a chip set, the processor is connected to the chip set and the chip controller 106, and the chip set is connected to the video conversion chip 104. The processor can be a processing chip of different models, capable of data processing and calculation, such as a miniaturized device of multiple electronic components and circuits integrated on a semiconductor chip, a central processing unit, a memory chip, etc. A chip set refers to encapsulating multiple different components or functional modules in an integral housing, which has the characteristics of high integration, easy installation and maintenance, strong scalability, and quick assembly, low cost, and easy maintenance. Exemplarily, the processor may include a Feiteng series CPU, and the chip set may be a corresponding Feiteng series chip set CPU, such as an X100 chip set processor. The Feiteng series CPU and the chip set CPU establish a communication connection through a high-speed communication bus interface of PCIE3.0 (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, the third generation high-speed serial computer expansion bus) to achieve data interaction and commonality.

[0089] The chip set can send the image data signal to the video conversion chip 104 through the DP (Display Port, digital video interface) interface. The video conversion chip 104 has the ability to transcode the received image data signal. After obtaining the corresponding image data, it transmits the image data to the display screen through the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface, high-definition multimedia interface or high-definition video interface) interface or LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling, low voltage differential signal, this application specifically refers to the transmission interface of the video signal) interface, and the corresponding picture is displayed on the display screen.

[0090] In one embodiment, the chip controller 106 is a CPLD. CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is an integrated circuit chip that can implement various circuit designs and logic processing through internal logic programming. It generally has multiple physical interface modules such as IO BANK to complete signal transmission and reception. The chip controller 106 can generate a corresponding reset level according to a preset reset signal sent by the processor to control the video conversion chip 104 to reset. Optionally, the chip controller 106 and the processor establish a communication connection through a GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output, a general purpose input / output interface, a form of interface for the processor) interface.

[0091] Furthermore, in one of the embodiments, the processor includes an operating system and a memory, the operating system is connected to the memory, the chip controller 106 and the chip set, and the memory is used to store a preset reset signal. The operating system refers to a software programmable system, which is usually carried on a chip with software programmability to work, such as the Feiteng series CPU, which meets the characteristics of full spectrum, high performance, complete ecology, high degree of autonomy, etc., and has high adaptability and compatibility. The memory refers to a device that can store data content, such as FLASH flash memory, which is a flash memory chip that can save program files. On the basis of the FLASH flash memory being configured with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which provides an interface connecting the operating system and hardware), it is connected to the UEFI interface of the Feiteng series CPU through SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface, a physical bus interface), so that the Feiteng series CPU can output corresponding signals according to the program in the FLASH flash memory.

[0092] In order to better understand the above scheme, combined with Figure 1 The application scenario shown is explained in detail below in conjunction with a specific embodiment.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the display control device includes Feiteng series CPU processor, Feiteng X100 chip processor, video conversion chip, FLASH and CPLD. Feiteng series processor is equipped with operating system and connected to FLASH in SPI mode through UEFI interface. It is also connected to IO BANK of CPLD through GPIO interface. IO BANK of CPLD is also connected to IO interface of video conversion chip. Data exchange is carried out between Feiteng series CPU processor and chip processor through PCIE3.0. Chip processor is connected to video conversion chip through DP interface. Video conversion chip is connected to display screen through HDMI interface or LVDS.

[0094] The display control process of the display screen is as follows Figure 7 As shown, at the beginning of startup, the program stored in FLASH is modified first, the UEFI program is modified, and the UEFI firmware with IO level control is pre-added therein, that is, the preset reset signal, and saved in FLASH. Then each device or equipment is powered on to maintain power supply. When resolution switching is required, the Feiteng series CPU processor loads the data stored in FLASH through the SPI interface, including the UEFI firmware previously saved in FLASH, that is, the preset reset signal. After loading the UEFI firmware, according to the preset time and IO level in the preset reset signal in the firmware, the reset (control) signal is output to the CPLD through the GPIO interface. The CPLD receives the reset signal from the Feiteng CPU processor and resets the video conversion chip, that is, outputs the corresponding IO level to the video conversion chip to reset the video conversion chip. After the video conversion chip is reset, the chip processor has also completed the resolution switching. The video conversion chip can re-convert the DP video signal from the Feiteng X100 chip processor, and the converted HDMI or LVDS signal is output to the display to complete the image display.

[0095] In this embodiment, IO control signals and CPLD timing (preset reset signal) are pre-added through the UEFI firmware of the Feiteng CPU processor, and the video conversion chip is reset before the screen flickering problem occurs when the resolution of the chipset in the computer platform is switched. This enables the video conversion chip to reconvert and output the DP video signal of the Feiteng X100 chipset processor, successfully solving the screen flickering problem when the resolution of the computer platform based on the Feiteng processor is switched.
