Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display device and a display control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the continuous development of science and technology, there are more and more power-on and wake-up schemes for display devices when the display devices are in standby mode.

[0003] In the conventional technology, for a display device that supports a network power-on function (eg, compatible with the PJlink protocol), the display device can be awakened by a control device corresponding to the display device, or, for example, by a terminal device bound to the display device.

[0004] However, in the existing display device power-on wake-up solution, it is necessary to first control the display device to turn on the screen, then wait for the operating system of the display device to run, and then wake up the display device. There is a response delay in the wake-up process, which affects the wake-up experience of the display device. In addition, in the existing display device power-on wake-up solution, the system-on chip (System onChip, SOC) needs to be powered on all the time in the standby state, which consumes a lot of power and affects the service life of the display device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a display device and a display control method thereof to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the display device has a wake-up delay and the display device consumes a large amount of power in a standby state.

[0006] In a first aspect, some embodiments provide a display device, including:

[0007] A first power module is configured to supply power to the system-on-chip (SOC) so that the SOC is in a power-on state;

[0008] The SOC is provided with a first network port, and is configured to obtain a content data packet through the first network port when the SOC is in a powered-on state, and to encode and decode the content data packet to obtain content to be displayed;

[0009] A display, connected to the SOC, configured to display content to be displayed;

[0010] The display device also includes:

[0011] A user input interface is configured to obtain a user's standby operation and generate a standby instruction; or,

[0012] a detector configured to detect a power switching state of the first power module and generate a standby instruction if the power switching state indicates standby;

[0013] The SOC is further configured to obtain a standby instruction, and enter a standby state in response to the standby instruction, and during the standby process, obtain a power-on instruction, and enter a power-on state in response to the power-on instruction, and run an operating system of the display device;

[0014] The display device also includes:

[0015] The SOC is also configured to, in response to the standby instruction, control the first power module to stop supplying power to itself, so that the SOC enters a power-off state;

[0016] A second power supply module is configured to supply power to the network-to-string module so that the network-to-string module is in a powered-on state;

[0017] A network-to-serial module, wherein a second network port is provided, and configured to obtain a network startup data packet through the second network port when the module is in a powered-on state, and convert the network startup data packet into a network startup instruction; the startup instruction includes a network startup instruction;

[0018] Among them, when the SOC is in a power-off state, the network-to-serial module is in a power-on state.

[0019] In the above embodiment, after the SOC obtains the standby instruction, it responds to the standby instruction, enters the standby state, and controls the first power supply module to no longer supply power to itself, so that it enters the power-off state. That is to say, when the display device is in the standby state, the SOC is powered off at the same time, which can save the power consumption of the display device in the standby state, thereby extending the service life of the SOC and the display device. On the other hand, by setting a network-to-serial module in the SOC, and when the SOC is in the power-off state, the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state. When the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state, it replaces the first network port in the SOC with its own second network port to obtain a network power-on data packet, and converts the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction, and sends the network power-on instruction to the SOC, so that the SOC responds to the power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device to realize the network power-on control of the display device, ensuring that the SOC can still respond to the network power-on instruction when it is in the power-off state. In addition, compared to the solution in the prior art that first controls the display device to start up, then waits for the operating system of the display device to run, and then wakes up the display device screen, the SOC in this embodiment does not need to wait for the system to run, and immediately responds to the network power-on command quickly, thereby reducing the response delay of the display device. On the other hand, since this embodiment uses the second network port in the network-to-serial module to replace the first network port in the SOC in the power-off state during the network wake-up process, it can directly participate in the transmission of the network power-on command. Therefore, it can overcome the problem in the prior art that the first network port of the AC-powered display device is not powered and cannot support the network power-on function, thereby improving the versatility of the network power-on function.

[0020] In some embodiments, the display device further includes:

[0021] The network switching module is configured to switch the currently used network port of the display device from the first network port to the second network port before the SOC enters the power-off state; and after the SOC enters the power-on state, switch the currently used network port of the display device from the second network port back to the first network port.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the network switching module is set to switch the network port connected to the router, so that the network serial module can connect to the router when the SOC is in a power-off state, thereby receiving the network startup data packet, ensuring that the network startup response can still be performed when the SOC is powered off. In addition, when the SOC is in a powered-on state, it can be connected to the router through the first network port of the SOC to receive the content data packet and realize the conventional content display function.

[0023] In some embodiments, the display device further includes:

[0024] The memory is configured to store the start / stop state of the network startup function; the start / stop state is an enabled state or a disabled state;

[0025] Among them, when the start-stop state is enabled and the SOC is in a power-off state, the network-to-string module is in a power-on state; and, when the start-stop state is disabled, the network-to-string module is in a power-off state.

[0026] In the above embodiment, by introducing the start and stop states of the network startup function, the user's independent selection and control of the network startup function is achieved.

[0027] In some embodiments, the user input interface is further configured to obtain a user's power-on operation and generate a basic power-on instruction; or,

[0028] The detector is further configured to detect a power switching state of the first power module, and generate a basic power-on instruction if the power switching state indicates power-on;

[0029] Among them, the power-on instructions include basic power-on instructions;

[0030] Accordingly, the SOC, connected to the memory, is also configured as:

[0031] After the SOC enters the power-on state, the start / stop status of the network power-on function is obtained from the memory, and according to the start / stop status, the second power supply module is controlled to supply power to the network-to-series module to switch the working state of the network-to-series module; wherein the working state includes the power-on state and the power-off state.

[0032] In the above embodiment, when the display device is in the power-on state responding to the basic power-on command, the working state switching control of the network-to-serial module is controlled by the SOC, so that when the network power-on function is enabled, the network power-on data packet can be instantly acquired and responded to, and when the network power-on function is disabled, the energy loss control of the network-to-serial module can be achieved.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the SOC controls the second power supply module to supply power to the network-to-string module according to the start-stop state to switch the working state of the network-to-string module, the SOC is specifically configured as follows:

[0034] When the start-stop state is the enabled state, controlling the second power supply module to supply power to the network-to-string module so that the network-to-string module enters the power-on state; and

[0035] When the start-stop state is the disabled state, the second power supply module is controlled to no longer supply power to the network-to-string module, so that the network-to-string module enters a power-off state.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the working state of the network transfer string module is distinguished by setting the memory to store the start and stop state of the network startup state. And when the network startup state is in the disabled state, the network transfer string module is set to enter the power-off state to avoid the network transfer string module being in the power-on state when it does not need to work, resulting in energy waste.

[0037] In some embodiments, when a network switching module is provided in the display device, the SOC is further configured as follows:

[0038] After controlling the second power supply module to supply power to the network-to-series module according to the start / stop state, sending a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module;

[0039] The network switching module is further configured to obtain a first network port switching instruction, and in response to the first network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device to the first network port.

[0040] In the above embodiment, a network switching module is set in the display device, and when the network power-on state is in the enabled state, the second power supply module is controlled to supply power to the network transfer serial module, and after power is supplied, the currently used network port is switched to the first network port; and, when the network power-on state is in the enabled state and the network transfer serial module sends a network power-on instruction to the SOC, the currently used network port is switched to the first network port, so that the SOC can obtain the content data packet when the display device is in the powered-on state, thereby avoiding the situation where the SOC cannot normally receive the content data packet due to the failure to switch the network port.

[0041] In some embodiments, the SOC is connected to the memory, and when executing in response to the standby instruction, controls the first power module to stop supplying power to itself so as to put itself into a power-off state, is further configured to:

[0042] In response to the standby instruction, the start / stop state of the network power-on function is obtained from the memory, and according to the start / stop state, the second power supply module is controlled to supply power to the network-to-series module to switch the working state of the network-to-series module, and the first power supply module is controlled to stop supplying power to itself to put itself into a power-off state;

[0043] The working state includes a power-on state and a power-off state.

[0044] In the above embodiment, when the SOC responds to a standby instruction, the SOC controls the working state switching of the network-to-serial module, thereby ensuring the immediate acquisition and response of the network power-on data packet when the network power-on function is enabled, and realizing the energy loss control of the network-to-serial module when the network power-on function is disabled.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the SOC controls the second power supply module to supply power to the network-to-string module according to the start-stop state to switch the working state of the network-to-string module, the SOC is specifically configured as follows:

[0046] When the start-stop state is the enabled state, controlling the second power supply module to supply power to the network-to-string module so that the network-to-string module enters the power-on state; and

[0047] When the start-stop state is the disabled state, the second power supply module is controlled to no longer supply power to the network-to-string module, so that the network-to-string module enters a power-off state.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the specific operation after the SOC responds to the standby instruction is given: switching the working state of the network-to-series module according to the start-stop state, and controlling the first power supply module to stop supplying power to itself. On the one hand, in response to the standby instruction, the SOC is put into a power-off state to avoid energy waste caused by the SOC being in a power-on state when it can be in standby state. On the other hand, when the network power-on function is enabled, the network-to-series module is controlled to enter a power-on state to ensure the availability of the network power-on function.

[0049] In some embodiments, when a network switching module is provided in the display device, the SOC is further configured as follows:

[0050] After controlling the second power supply module to no longer supply power to the network transfer module, sending a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module; or, after controlling the second power supply module to supply power to the network transfer module, sending a second network port switching instruction to the network switching module;

[0051] The network switching module is also configured to obtain a first network port switching instruction, and in response to the first network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device to the first network port; or, obtain a second network port switching instruction, and in response to the second network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device to the second network port.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the network port switching control of the network switching module is performed by the SOC, so that on the one hand, when the network transfer serial module is in a power-off state, the SOC sends a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module to instruct the network switching module to switch the currently used network port to the first network port, so as to facilitate the SOC to obtain content data packets when it is in a powered-on state, and avoid the situation where the SOC cannot normally receive the content data packets due to the failure to switch the network port; on the other hand, when the network transfer serial module is in a powered-on state, the SOC sends a second network port switching instruction to the network switching module to instruct the network switching module to switch the currently used network port to the second network port to enable the network power-on function, so as to facilitate the network transfer serial module to receive the network power-on data packet and generate a network power-on instruction.

[0053] In some embodiments, when a network switching module is provided in the display device, the network configuration information of the second network port is the same as the network configuration information of the first network port;

[0054] In the case where the display device is not provided with a network switching module, the first network configuration information of the second network port is different from the first network configuration information of the first network port, and the second network configuration information of the second network port is the same as the second network configuration information of the first network port;

[0055] The first network configuration information includes Internet Protocol (IP) address information; the second network configuration information includes other network configuration information except the IP address information.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the network configuration information of the first network port and the network configuration information of the second network port are set in two cases where the display device is provided with a network switching module and is not provided with a network switching module, thereby improving the richness and diversity of the display control process. Further, in the case where the display device is not provided with a network switching module, the first network configuration information of the second network port is set to be different from the first network information of the first network port, which can avoid the router from confusing the first network port and the second network port during the process of performing network port switching, and facilitate accurate switching of the network ports.

[0057] In some embodiments, the SOC is further provided with a first serial port, and the network-to-serial module is further provided with a second serial port; the first serial port is connected to the second serial port;

[0058] Accordingly, the SOC is further configured to monitor network changes of the display device, and synchronize target network configuration information to the second serial port through the first serial port when the network of the display device changes;

[0059] The target network configuration information is the network configuration information that requires the same configuration as the first network port.

[0060] In the above embodiment, by setting a first serial port in the SOC, setting a second serial port in the network-to-serial module, and connecting the first serial port to the second serial port, real-time synchronization of network configuration information between the network-to-serial module and the SOC is achieved, thereby avoiding failure of the network startup function due to different network configuration information.

[0061] In some embodiments, the display device further includes:

[0062] An additional micro control unit MCU is connected to the network-to-serial module and the SOC, and is configured to obtain a network power-on instruction and generate a power-on signal in response to the network power-on instruction;

[0063] Accordingly, when the SOC executes to obtain the power-on instruction, responds to the power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device, it is specifically configured as follows:

[0064] A power-on signal is obtained, and in response to the power-on signal, a power-on state is entered and an operating system of the display device is run.

[0065] In the above embodiment, an additional microcontroller unit MCU is additionally provided to receive the network power-on instruction sent by the network-to-serial module, generate a power-on signal in response to the network power-on instruction, and send the power-on signal to the SOC. In the case where the existing MCU in the display device cannot be reused, the network power-on function of the display device can be supported by introducing an additional MCU with a lower hardware cost, thereby ensuring the availability of the network power-on function.

[0066] In a second aspect, some embodiments further provide a display control method,

[0067] The display device includes:

[0068] A first power module is configured to supply power to the system-on-chip (SOC) so that the SOC is in a power-on state;

[0069] The SOC is provided with a first network port, and is configured to obtain a content data packet through the first network port when the SOC is in a powered-on state, and to encode and decode the content data packet to obtain content to be displayed;

[0070] A display, connected to the SOC, configured to display content to be displayed;

[0071] The display device also includes:

[0072] A user input interface is configured to obtain a user's standby operation and generate a standby instruction; or,

[0073] a detector configured to detect a power switching state of the first power module and generate a standby instruction if the power switching state indicates standby;

[0074] The SOC is further configured to obtain a standby instruction, and enter a standby state in response to the standby instruction, and during the standby process, obtain a power-on instruction, and enter a power-on state in response to the power-on instruction, and run an operating system of the display device;

[0075] The display device also includes:

[0076] The SOC is also configured to, in response to the standby instruction, control the first power module to stop supplying power to itself, so that the SOC enters a power-off state;

[0077] A second power supply module is configured to supply power to the network-to-string module so that the network-to-string module is in a powered-on state;

[0078] A network-to-serial module, wherein a second network port is provided, and configured to obtain a network startup data packet through the second network port when the module is in a powered-on state, and convert the network startup data packet into a network startup instruction; the startup instruction includes a network startup instruction;

[0079] Among them, when the SOC is in a power-off state, the network-to-string module is in a power-on state;

[0080] The display control method includes:

[0081] A standby instruction is obtained, and in response to the standby instruction, a standby state is entered; in the standby process, a network power-on instruction is obtained, and in response to the network power-on instruction, a power-on state is entered, and an operating system of the display device is run.

[0082] In the above embodiment, after the SOC obtains the standby instruction, it responds to the standby instruction, enters the standby state, and controls the first power supply module to no longer supply power to itself, so that it enters the power-off state. That is to say, when the display device is in the standby state, the SOC is powered off at the same time, which can save the power consumption of the display device in the standby state, thereby extending the service life of the SOC and the display device. On the other hand, by setting a network-to-serial module in the SOC, and when the SOC is in the power-off state, the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state. When the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state, it replaces the first network port in the SOC with its own second network port to obtain a network power-on data packet, and converts the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction, and sends the network power-on instruction to the SOC, so that the SOC responds to the power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device to realize the network power-on control of the display device, ensuring that the SOC can still respond to the network power-on instruction when it is in the power-off state. In addition, compared to the solution in the prior art that first controls the display device to start up, then waits for the operating system of the display device to run, and then wakes up the display device screen, the SOC in this embodiment does not need to wait for the system to run, and immediately responds to the network power-on command quickly, thereby reducing the response delay of the display device. On the other hand, since this embodiment uses the second network port in the network-to-serial module to replace the first network port in the SOC in the power-off state during the network wake-up process, it can directly participate in the transmission of the network power-on command. Therefore, it can overcome the problem in the prior art that the first network port of the AC-powered display device is not powered and cannot support the network power-on function, thereby improving the versatility of the network power-on function.

[0117] In some embodiments, the user may input a user command through a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the display 260 , and the user input interface receives the user input command through the graphical user interface (GUI).

[0118] In some embodiments, the audio output device 270 may be a local speaker of the display device 200, or may be an external audio output device of the display device 200. In particular, for the external audio output device of the display device 200, the display device 200 may also be provided with an external audio output terminal, and the audio output device may be connected to the display device 200 through the external audio output terminal to output the sound of the display device 200.

[0119] In some embodiments, the user input interface 280 may be used to receive instructions from a user input. For example, the user input interface 280 may be used to obtain a standby operation input by a user and generate a standby instruction.

[0120] Figure 3 Some embodiments of the present application provide Figure 1 The hardware configuration diagram of the control device in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the control device 100 may include: a controller 110, a communication interface 130, a user input / output interface, a memory, and a power supply.

[0121] The control device 100 is configured to control the display device 200 , and can receive user input operation instructions, and convert the operation instructions into instructions that the display device 200 can recognize and respond to, playing the role of an interactive intermediary between the user and the display device 200 .

[0122] In some embodiments, the control device 100 may be a smart device, for example, the control device 100 may be installed with various applications for controlling the display device 200 according to user needs.

[0123] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal 300 or other intelligent electronic devices can play a similar function as the control device 100 after installing the application for controlling the display device 200 .

[0124] The controller 110 includes a processor 112, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 113, a ROM (Read-Only Memory) 114, a communication interface 130, and a communication bus. The controller 110 is used to control the operation and operation of the control device 100, as well as the communication and cooperation between the internal components and the external and internal data processing functions.

[0125] The communication interface 130 implements communication of control signals and data signals with the display device 200 under the control of the controller 110. The communication interface 130 may include at least one of other near field communication modules such as a WiFi chip 131, a Bluetooth module 132, and an NFC (Near Field Communication) module 133.

[0126] The user input / output interface 140 , wherein the input interface includes at least one of other input interfaces such as a microphone 141 , a touch panel 142 , a sensor 143 , and a button 144 .

[0127] In some embodiments, the control device 100 includes at least one of a communication interface 130 and an input / output interface 140. The control device 100 is configured with a communication interface 130, such as a WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC or other module, and can encode the user input command through the WiFi protocol, Bluetooth protocol, or NFC protocol and send it to the display device 200.

[0128] The memory 190 is used to store various operating programs, data and applications for driving and controlling the control device 100 under the control of the controller. The memory 190 can store various control signal instructions input by the user.

[0129] In some embodiments, the memory 190 may be used to store the start / stop state of the network power-on function of the display device 200 , wherein the start / stop state is an enabled state or a disabled state.

[0130] The power supply 180 is used to provide operating power support for each component of the control device 100 under the control of the controller.

[0131] In some embodiments, the power supply 180 can be used to power the entire display device 200, or some modules in the display device 200. For example, the power supply may include a first power module for powering the SOC in the display device so that the SOC is in a powered-on state; the power supply may also include a second power module for powering the network-to-serial module in the display device so that the network-to-serial module is in a powered-on state. The network-to-serial module is a network-to-serial port module, which is an embedded device module that can realize mutual conversion between network data and serial port data.

[0132] Accordingly, in some embodiments, Figure 2 The detector 230 may be used to detect the power switching state of the first power module, and generate a standby instruction when the power switching state of the first power module indicates standby.

[0133] In order to perform user interaction, in some embodiments, the display device 200 may run an operating system. The operating system is a computer program for managing and controlling hardware resources and software resources in the display device 200. The operating system may provide a user interface (control the display device), allow the user to interact with the display device 200, and support the running of various application programs.

[0134] It should be noted that the operating system may be a native operating system based on a specific operating platform, or a third-party operating system deeply customized based on a specific operating platform, or an independent operating system specially developed for the display device.

[0135] The operating system can be divided into different modules or layers according to the functions implemented, such as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely, the application layer (Applications layer) (referred to as "application layer"), the application framework layer (Application Framework layer) (referred to as "framework layer"), the system library layer and the kernel layer.

[0136] In some embodiments, the application layer is used to provide services and interfaces for applications so that the display device 200 can run applications and interact with users based on applications. At least one application can be run in the application layer, and these applications can be window programs, system settings programs, clock programs, etc. that come with the operating system; they can also be applications developed by third-party developers. In specific implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

[0137] The framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and programming frameworks for applications. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions. The application framework layer is equivalent to a processing center that determines the actions of applications in the application layer. Applications can access system resources and obtain system services during execution through the API interface.

[0138] like Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes a view system, managers, content providers, etc., wherein the view system can design and implement the interface and interaction of the application, and the view system includes lists, grids, text boxes, buttons, etc. The manager includes at least one of the following modules: an activity manager is used to interact with all activities running in the system; a location manager is used to provide system services or applications with access to system location services; a package manager is used to retrieve various information related to the application package currently installed on the device; a notification manager is used to control the display and clearing of notification messages; and a window manager is used to manage icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop components on the user interface.

[0139] In some embodiments, the activity manager is used to manage the life cycle of each application and the usual navigation back function, such as controlling the exit, opening, and back of the application. The window manager is used to manage all window programs, such as obtaining the display screen size, determining whether there is a status bar, locking the screen, capturing the screen, and controlling the display window changes, for example, reducing the display window, shaking the display, distorting the display, etc.

[0140] In some embodiments, the system runtime layer can provide support for the framework layer. When the framework layer is used, the operating system will run the instruction library contained in the system runtime layer, such as the C / C++ instruction library, to implement the functions to be implemented by the framework layer.

[0141] In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a functional layer between the hardware and software of the display device 200. The kernel layer can implement functions such as hardware abstraction, multitasking, and memory management. Figure 4 As shown, the kernel layer may be configured with hardware drivers, and the drivers included in the kernel layer may be at least one of the following drivers: audio driver, display driver, Bluetooth driver, camera driver, WIFI driver, USB (Universal Serial Bus) driver, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) driver, sensor driver (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power driver, etc.

[0142] It should be noted that the above example is only a simple division of the operating system functions and does not constitute a limitation on the specific operating system form of the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application. Depending on factors such as the function of the display device and the type of operating system, the number of levels and specific level types contained in the operating system may be expressed in other forms.

[0143] Figure 5 is a structural diagram of a display device in some embodiments. Figure 5 The display device 200 includes a SOC 290, a first power module 1801, a user input interface 280 and a display 260. The SOC 290 is provided with a first network port 2901. The first power module 1801 and the user input interface 280 are connected to the SOC 290 respectively; the SOC 290 is connected to the display 260 and the router 500 respectively.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first power module 1801 is configured to supply power to the SOC 290 so that the SOC 290 is in a powered-on state. The first network port 2901 is configured to obtain a content data packet through the first network port 2901 when the first network port 2901 is in a powered-on state, and encode and decode the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed, and input the content to be displayed to the display 260 so that the display 260 displays the content to be displayed. Accordingly, the display 260 is configured to display the content to be displayed.

[0145] The content data packet encapsulates images, videos or other graphic data that need to be displayed in the display device 200 .

[0146] In some embodiments, the SOC 290 is further configured to obtain a standby instruction, and enter a standby state in response to the standby instruction, and obtain a power-on instruction during the standby process, and enter a power-on state in response to the power-on instruction, and run the operating system of the display device 200. The standby instruction is used to instruct the SOC 290 to enter the standby state, and the power-on instruction is used to instruct the SOC 290 to enter the power-on state.

[0147] Optionally, the user input interface 280 in the display device 200 may generate a standby instruction or a power-on instruction in response to a user operation (such as a touch operation).

[0148] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of another display device in some embodiments. Figure 6The display device 200 includes a SOC 290, a first power module 1801, a detector 230 and a display 260. The SOC 290 is provided with a first network port 2901. The first power module 1801 and the detector 230 are respectively connected to the SOC 290; the SOC 290 is respectively connected to the display 260 and the router 500.

[0149] In some embodiments, the detector 230 in the display device 200 can detect the power switching state of the first power module 1801, and generate a standby instruction when the power switching state indicates standby. The power switching state includes a standby state and a power-on state. Accordingly, when the power switching state is the standby state, the display device 200 is instructed to be in standby; when the power switching state is the power-on state, the display device 200 is instructed to be powered on.

[0150] In the above optional embodiments, after the SOC 290 enters the standby state, it is still in the power supply state, which will bring greater power consumption to the display device 200 as a whole, thereby affecting the service life of the SOC 290 and the service life of the display device 200 as a whole. Based on this, when the display device 200 is in the standby state, a display control method that can reduce the power consumption of the device and does not affect the standby wake-up of the display device 200 is urgently needed.

[0151] Figure 7 is a structural diagram of a display device in some embodiments. Figure 7 The display device 200 further includes a second power module 1802 and a network transfer serial module 2100; the network transfer serial module 2100 is provided with a second network port 21001. The second power module 1802 is connected to the network transfer serial module 2100; the second network port 21001 is connected to the router 500.

[0152] In some embodiments, the SOC 290 is also configured to, in response to a standby instruction sent by the detector 230, control the first power supply module 1801 to no longer supply power to itself, so that it enters a power-off state and a standby state; the second power supply module 1802 is configured to supply power to the network-to-string module 2100, so that the network-to-string module 2100 is in a power-on state.

[0153] In some embodiments, the power-on instruction includes a network power-on instruction, wherein the network power-on instruction is an instruction to instruct the display device 200 to power on through network control (such as a mobile application). Accordingly, the network-to-serial module 2100 is configured to obtain a network power-on data packet through the second network port 21001 when it is in a powered-on state, and convert the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction. The network power-on data packet can be understood as a network data packet dedicated to remotely waking up a display device in a standby state.

[0154] Specifically, SOC 290 obtains a standby instruction, and enters a standby state in response to the standby instruction, and controls the first power module 1801 to no longer supply power to itself, so that it is in a power-off state, thereby saving the power consumption of the display device 200 in the standby state. When SOC 290 is in a power-off state, the network transfer string module 2100 is in a power-on state. At this time, the network transfer string module 2100 obtains a network power-on data packet through the second network port 21001, and converts the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction. The network transfer string module 2100 sends the network power-on instruction to SOC 290, so that SOC 290 responds to the network power-on instruction, enters a power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device 200. Further, SOC 290 obtains a content data packet through the first network port 2901, and performs encoding and decoding processing on the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed, and displays the content to be displayed on the display 260 for the user to view.

[0155] In the above embodiment, after SOC 290 obtains the standby instruction, it responds to the standby instruction, enters the standby state, and controls the first power module to no longer supply power to itself, so that it enters the power-off state. That is to say, when the display device 200 is in the standby state, SOC 290 is powered off at the same time, which can save the power consumption of the display device 200 in the standby state, thereby extending the service life of SOC 290 and the display device 200. On the other hand, by setting the network transfer string module 2100 in SOC 290, and when SOC 290 is in the power-off state, the network transfer string module 2100 is in the power-on state, at this time, the network transfer string module 2100 can obtain the network power-on data packet through the second network port 21001, and convert the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction and send it to SOC 290; SOC 290 can respond to the network power-on instruction, enter the power-on state, and run the operating system of the display device 200, so as to realize the immediate response of the network power-on instruction and the standby wake-up of the display device 200. Compared with the solution in the prior art that first controls the display device to start up, then waits for the operating system of the display device to start up, and then wakes up the display 260 of the display device 200, the SOC 290 of this embodiment can instantly receive the network power-on command, and respond to the network power-on command, and directly enter the power-on state operation, without waiting for the device to start up, and without waiting for the SOC 290 to pull up the operating system before responding to the network power-on command and displaying the screen, thereby reducing the wake-up delay of the display device 200. On the other hand, since the network power-on command can be transmitted without the participation of the first network port during the network wake-up process in this embodiment, it can adapt to the situation where the SOC 290 is in standby and powered off, and is also applicable when the first network port of the display device powered on by AC is not powered, thereby improving the versatility of the network power-on function.

[0156] Figure 8 is a structural diagram of a display device in some embodiments. Figure 8 The SOC 290 is provided with a network switching module 2902, which is connected to the router 500, the first network port 2901 and the second network port 21001. The network switching module 2902 can automatically or manually switch the network-connected device according to user needs or network status. Exemplarily, the network switching module 2902 can be a switch.

[0157] In some embodiments, the network switching module 2902 is configured to switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 from the first network port 2901 to the second network port 21001 before the SOC 290 enters the power-off state, thereby replacing the first network port 2901 with the second network port 21001, and sending the network power-on data packet to the network serial module 2100, so that the network serial module 2100 converts the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction, and sends the network power-on instruction to the SOC 290, so that the SOC 290 responds to the network power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device 200.

[0158] The network switching module 2909 is also configured to switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 from the second network port 21001 back to the first network port 2902 after the SOC 290 enters the power-on state, so that the SOC 290 can obtain the content data packet through the first network port 2902 when it is in the power-on state, and encode and decode the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed, and output the content to be displayed to the display 260, so that the display 260 can display the content to be displayed, thereby avoiding abnormal content display.

[0159] In the above embodiment, the network switching module 2902 is provided to realize the automatic switching of the network port connected to the router 500, so that the network conversion serial module 2100 can be connected to the router 500 when the SOC 290 is in the power-off state, and the second network port 21001 provided by itself is used to replace the first network port 2901 in the SOC 290 to receive the network startup data packet, so that when the SOC 290 is in the power-off state, the display device 200 can still respond to the network startup. In addition, when the SOC 290 is in the power-on state, the network switching module 2902 can switch the currently used network port back to the connection between the first network port 2901 in the SOC 290 and the router 500, so as to receive the content data packet and realize the conventional content display function.

[0160] Fig. 9is a structural diagram of a display device in some embodiments. Fig. 9 The SOC 290 is provided with a memory 2110, and the SOC 290 is connected to the memory 2100. The memory 2100 is configured to store the start / stop state of the network power-on function of the display device 200; wherein the start / stop state is an enabled state or a disabled state.

[0161] In some embodiments, when the start-stop state is enabled and the SOC 290 is in a power-off state, the network-to-string module 2100 is in a power-on state; and, when the start-stop state is disabled, the network-to-string module 2100 is in a power-off state.

[0162] It should be noted that, when the display device 200 has a network power-on function, the user can adjust the start and stop state of the network power-on function of the display device 200 according to actual use needs, thereby realizing autonomous control of whether the network power-on function is used or not. Further, the start and stop state of the network power-on function is stored in the memory 2110, so that the device can maintain the use of its own network power-on function.

[0163] It is worth noting that the switching control of the power-on state and the power-off state of the network-to-serial module 2100 can be achieved by multiplexing the SOC 290 in the display device 200. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the display device 200, the state switching control process of the SOC 290 on the network-to-serial module 2100 is at least partially different in different situations.

[0164] In some embodiments, when the display device 200 is in a power-on state through a basic power-on instruction, the SOC 290 will respond to the basic power-on instruction, enter a power-on state, and run the operating system of the display device, laying the foundation for the display device 200 to perform regular content display.

[0165] Continue to see Figure 5 In some optional embodiments, the user input interface 280 is further configured to obtain the user's power-on operation and generate the above basic power-on instruction. The power-on operation can be triggered by the user through touch operation, or by the mobile terminal 300 bound to the display device 200, or by the control device 100 matched with the display device.

[0166] Continue to see Figure 6 In some other optional embodiments, the detector 230 is further configured to detect the power switching state of the first power module, and generate the above-mentioned basic power-on instruction when the power switching state indicates power-on.

[0167] In some specific implementations, the basic power-on instruction may include at least one of a STR (Standby to Ready) power-on instruction and an AC / DC power-on instruction.

[0168] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 After the SOC 290 receives the basic power-on instruction, the SOC 290 responds to the basic power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device 200, at which time the display device 200 is in the power-on state. Correspondingly, the SOC 290 can also be configured to obtain the start and stop state of the network power-on function from the memory 2110 after the SOC 290 enters the power-on state, and control the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network transfer string module 2100 according to the start and stop state, so as to switch the working state of the network transfer string module 2100; wherein the working state includes the power-on state and the power-off state.

[0169] Exemplarily, SOC 290 is specifically configured as follows: when the start / stop state of the network power-on function stored in the memory 2110 is enabled, the second power supply module 1802 is controlled to supply power to the network transfer string module 2100, so that the network transfer string module 2100 is in a powered-on state, which is convenient for immediate acquisition and response of network power-on data packets. When the start / stop state of the network power-on function stored in the memory 2110 is disabled, the second power supply module 1802 is controlled to no longer supply power to the network transfer string module 2100, so that the network transfer string module 2100 is in a powered-off state, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy loss caused by the network transfer string module 2100 still running when the network power-on function is disabled.

[0170] In the above embodiment, the memory 2110 is set to store the start and stop states of the network power-on state, and the working state of the network transfer string module 2100 is different in different start and stop states. A specific method for switching the working state of the network transfer string module 2100 according to the start and stop states after the SOC 290 is in the power-on state is given. In the above embodiment, when the network power-on state is the disabled state, the network transfer string module 2100 is controlled to enter the power-off state to avoid energy waste caused by the network transfer string module 2100 still being in the power-on state.

[0171] Further, in some embodiments, see Fig. 9 In the case where a network switching module 2902 is provided in the display device 200, the SOC 290 may also be configured to, after controlling the second power module to supply power to the network-to-serial module according to the start / stop state, send a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module 2902. The first network port switching instruction is used to instruct the network switching module 2902 to switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the first network port 2901.

[0172] Optionally, when the display device 200 is currently powered on, after the SOC 290 enters the power-on state, if the network power-on state is enabled, the second power module 1802 is controlled to supply power to the network transfer string module 2100, and after the network transfer string module 2100 enters the power-on state, the first network port switching instruction is sent to the network switching module 2902. Accordingly, the network switching module 2902 is also configured to obtain the first network port switching instruction, and in response to the first network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the first network port 2901, so that the SOC 290 can be connected to the router 500 through the first network port 2901, thereby obtaining the content data packet, and performing encoding and decoding processing on the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed, and sending the content to be displayed to the display 260, so that the display 260 can display the content to be displayed. The advantage of doing so is that when the display device 200 is turned on and the user enables the network power-on function, it can avoid the situation where the content data packet cannot be received normally due to the unavailability of the first network port of the SOC 290, thereby providing protection for the content display function of the display device 200.

[0173] Alternatively, when the display device 200 is currently powered on, after the SOC 290 enters the power-on state, if the network power-on state is in the disabled state, the second power module 1802 is controlled to no longer supply power to the network transfer string module 2100, and after the network transfer string module enters the power-off state, the first network port switching instruction is sent to the network switching module 2902. Accordingly, the network switching module 2902 is also configured to obtain the first network port switching instruction, and in response to the first network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the first network port 2901, so that the SOC 290 can be connected to the router 500 through the first network port 2901, thereby obtaining the content data packet, and performing encoding and decoding processing on the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed, and sending the content to be displayed to the display 260, so that the display 260 can display the content to be displayed. The advantage of doing this is that when the display device 200 is turned on and the user disables the network power-on function, unnecessary power consumption of the network-to-serial module 2100 can be reduced, while avoiding the situation where the content data packet cannot be received normally due to the unavailability of the first network port of the SOC 290, thereby providing protection for the content display function of the display device 200.

[0174] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9, SOC 290 is connected to the memory 2110. In this case, SOC 290 can also be configured to obtain the start / stop status of the network power-on function from the memory 2110 in response to the standby instruction, and control the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network transfer string module 2100 according to the start / stop status, so as to switch the working state of the network transfer string module 2100, and control the first power supply module 1801 to stop supplying power to itself, so as to put itself into the power-off state; wherein the working state includes the power-on state and the power-off state. In the above manner, the state switching control of the network transfer string module 2100 in the standby state by SOC 290 is realized. In some specific implementations, the standby instruction may include at least one of the STR standby instruction and the AC / DC standby instruction.

[0175] Exemplarily, the SOC 290 is specifically configured to: when the start / stop state of the network power-on function stored in the memory 2110 is in the enabled state, control the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network transfer string module 2100, so that the network transfer string module 2100 is in the powered-on state. When the start / stop state of the network power-on function stored in the memory 2110 is in the disabled state, control the second power supply module 1802 to stop supplying power to the network transfer string module 2100, so that the network transfer string module 2100 is in the powered-off state, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy loss caused by the network transfer string module 2100 still running when the network power-on function is disabled.

[0176] The advantage of the above embodiment is that, on the one hand, the SOC 290 responds to the standby instruction and puts itself in a power-off state, thereby avoiding energy waste caused by the SOC 290 being continuously powered on in the standby state. On the other hand, when the network power-on state is enabled, the network-to-serial module is controlled to enter a power-on state to enable the network power-on function, thereby ensuring the normal implementation of the network power-on function.

[0177] Further, in some embodiments, see Fig. 9 In the case where a network switching module 2902 is provided in the display device 200, the SOC 290 can also be configured to send a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module 2902 after controlling the second power supply module 1802 to no longer supply power to the network serial module 2100; wherein the first network port switching instruction is used to instruct the network switching module 2902 to switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the first network port 2901.

[0178] Correspondingly, the network switching module 2902 can also be configured to obtain the first network port switching instruction, and in response to the first network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the first network port 2901, so that the SOC 290 can be connected to the router 500 through the first network port 2901, thereby obtaining the content data packet, and encoding and decoding the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed, and send the content to be displayed to the display 260, so that the display 260 can display the content to be displayed.

[0179] It can be understood that when the network serial module is in a power-off state, the SOC sends a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module to instruct the network switching module to switch the currently used network port to the first network port, so as to facilitate the SOC to obtain the content data packet when it is in a powered-on state, and avoid the situation where the SOC cannot normally receive the content data packet due to the failure to switch the network port.

[0180] In some other optional embodiments, the SOC 290 may also be configured to send a second network port switching instruction to the network switching module 2902 after controlling the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network serial module 2100. The second network port switching instruction is used to instruct the network switching module 2902 to switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the second network port 21001.

[0181] Correspondingly, the network switching module 2902 can also be configured to obtain a second network port switching instruction, and in response to the second network port switching instruction, switch the currently used network port of the display device 200 to the second network port 21001 to enable the network power-on function.

[0182] It can be understood that when the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state, the SOC sends a second network port switching instruction to the network switching module to instruct the network switching module to switch the currently used network port to the second network port to enable the network power-on function, so that the network-to-serial module can receive the network power-on data packet and generate a network power-on instruction.

[0183] It is worth noting that the first network port 2901 and the second network port 21001 in the display device 200 need to have at least partially identical network configurations to ensure that after the network port switching of the display device 200, the normal use of the network functions of the display device 200 (such as conventional content display functions and network power-on functions in some embodiments) is not affected.

[0184] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9In the case where the display device 200 is provided with a network switching module 2902, it can be configured to ensure that the network configuration information of the network switching module 2100 is completely the same as the network configuration information of the display device 200, thereby ensuring that the network switching module 2100 and the SOC 290 can normally transmit and respond to network startup instructions. The network configuration information may include at least one of IP (Internet Protocol) address information, gateway and mask information.

[0185] In some embodiments, see further Fig.10 A display device is shown, in which the network switching module is not provided in the display device 200, and the router 500 is connected to the first network port 2901 and the second network port 21001 respectively. In order to avoid the router 500 from confusing the first network port 2901 and the second network port 21001 in the process of executing the network port switching, the first network configuration information of the second network port 21001 can be configured to be different from the first network configuration information of the first network port 2901. At the same time, in order to ensure that the network-to-serial module 2100 and the SOC 290 can transmit and respond to the network boot command normally. The second network configuration information of the second network port 21001 is the same as the second network configuration information of the first network port 2901.

[0186] The first network configuration information may include IP address information; the second network configuration information may include other network configuration information except the IP address information, for example, may include at least one of gateway and mask information.

[0187] It can be understood that the above embodiment provides the settings of the network configuration information of the first network port and the network configuration information of the second network port in two cases where the display device is provided with a network switching module and is not provided with a network switching module, thereby improving the richness and diversity of the display control process. Further, in the case where the display device is not provided with a network switching module, the first network configuration information of the second network port is set to be different from the first network information of the first network port, which can avoid the router from confusing the first network port and the second network port during the process of performing network port switching, and facilitate accurate switching of the network ports.

[0188] Fig.11 is a structural diagram of a display device in some embodiments. Fig.11 The SOC 290 may be provided with a first serial port 2903, and the first serial port 2903 is connected to the display 260. The network-to-serial module 2100 may be provided with a second serial port 21002, and the second serial port 21002 is connected to the second network port 21001. The first serial port 2903 is connected to the second serial port 21002.

[0189] Accordingly, the SOC 290 may also be configured to monitor changes in the network of the display device 200, and when changes occur in the network of the display device 200, synchronize the target network configuration to the second serial port through the first serial port 2903. The target network configuration information is the network configuration information that the second serial port 21002 and the first serial port 2903 need to have the same configuration, for example, at least one of the information such as a gateway and a mask.

[0190] In the above embodiment, by setting the first serial port 2903 in the SOC 290, setting the second serial port 21002 in the network-to-serial module 2100, and connecting the first serial port 2903 with the second serial port 21002, real-time synchronization of network configuration information between the network-to-serial module 2100 and the SOC 209 is achieved, thereby avoiding the failure of the network startup function due to different network configuration information.

[0191] Fig.12 is a structural diagram of a display device in some embodiments. Fig.12 The display device 200 is provided with an additional microcontroller unit (MCU) 2120 , and the MCU 2120 is connected to the network-to-serial module 2100 and the SOC 290 .

[0192] In some embodiments, the MCU 2120 is configured to obtain a network power-on instruction, generate a power-on signal in response to the network power-on instruction, and send the power-on signal to the SOC 290. Accordingly, the SOC 290 may also be configured to obtain the power-on signal, enter a power-on state in response to the power-on signal, and run the operating system of the display device 200. It is worth noting that the power-on signal here is a signal that the SOC 290 can still receive or respond to in a power-off state, such as an infrared signal.

[0193] It should be noted that the display device 200 may be provided with a basic MCU connected to the SOC 290 and the network transfer serial module. In the case where the basic MCU has the above-mentioned additional MCU function, the display device 200 does not need to further provide an additional micro control unit MCU and can directly reuse the basic MCU to implement the function of the additional MUC, thereby saving hardware costs. The network transfer serial module 2100 sends the network power-on command to its own MCU, and the own MCU responds to the network power-on command, generates a power-on signal, and sends the power-on signal to the SOC 290, so that the SOC 290 responds to the power-on signal, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device.

[0194] In the above embodiment, an additional microcontroller unit MCU is additionally provided to receive the network power-on command sent by the network-to-serial module 2100, generate a power-on signal in response to the network power-on command, and send the power-on signal to the SOC. In the case where the existing MCU in the display device cannot be reused, the network power-on function of the display device can be supported by introducing an additional MCU with a lower hardware cost, thereby ensuring the availability of the network power-on function.

[0195] Based on the same inventive concept, in some embodiments, a display control method based on the above display device is also provided. Fig.13 The display control method provided in this embodiment is introduced as an example of the structure diagram of the display device shown in FIG. Fig.14 The display control method shown can be applied to Figure 7-Figure 13 The SOC of any display device shown in , comprising:

[0196] S1410, obtaining a standby instruction, and entering a standby state in response to the standby instruction.

[0197] S1420, during the standby process, obtaining a network power-on instruction, and in response to the network power-on instruction, entering a power-on state, and running an operating system of the display device.

[0198] SOC 290 obtains user input interface 280 ( Fig.13 The display device 200 receives a standby instruction sent by the display device 200 (not shown) or the detector 230, and enters the standby state; during the standby process, obtains the network power-on instruction converted from the network power-on data packet obtained by the network-to-serial module 2100 through its own second network port 21001; in response to the network power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device 200, so that when it is in the power-on state, it can obtain the content data packet through the first network port 2901, and encode and decode the content data packet to obtain the content to be displayed.

[0199] In some embodiments, after the SOC 290 responds to the basic power-on instruction and enters the power-on state, it can also obtain the start / stop status of the network power-on function from the memory 2110, and according to the start / stop status, control the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network-to-serial module 2100 to switch the working state of the network-to-serial module 2100; wherein the working state includes a power-on state and a power-off state.

[0200] In other optional embodiments, after the SOC 290 enters the standby state in response to the standby instruction, it can also obtain the start / stop status of the network power-on function from the memory 2110, and according to the start / stop status, control the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network serial module 2100 to switch the working state of the network serial module 2100, and control the first power supply module 1801 to no longer supply power to itself so that it enters the power-off state; wherein the working state includes the power-on state and the power-off state.

[0201] Furthermore, when the start-stop state is in the enabled state, SOC 290 can control the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network-to-string module 2100, so that the network-to-string module 2100 enters the power-on state; and, when the start-stop state is in the disabled state, control the second power supply module 1802 to no longer supply power to the network-to-string module 2100, so that the network-to-string module 2100 enters the power-off state.

[0202] In some embodiments, after the SOC 290 responds to the basic startup instruction and controls the second power supply module 1802 to power the network-to-serial module 2100 according to the start / stop status, a first network port 2901 switching instruction may be sent to the network switching module 2100 to instruct the currently used network port of the display device 200 to be switched to the first network port 2901.

[0203] In other embodiments, after the SOC 290 responds to the standby instruction and controls the second power supply module 1802 to no longer supply power to the network-to-serial module 2100, it can also send a first network port switching instruction to the network switching module 2100 to instruct the currently used network port of the display device 200 to be switched to the first network port 2901.

[0204] In some other embodiments, after the SOC 290 responds to the standby instruction and controls the second power supply module 1802 to supply power to the network-to-serial module 2100, a second network port switching instruction can also be sent to the network switching module 2100 to instruct the currently used network port of the display device 200 to be switched to the second network port 21001.

[0205] In order to achieve network configuration synchronization between the first network port 2901 and the second network port 21001, in some optional embodiments, the SOC 290 can also monitor the network changes of the display device 200, and when the network of the display device 200 changes, synchronize the target network configuration information to the second serial port 21002 through the first serial port 2903; wherein the target network configuration information is the network configuration information that the second network port 21001 and the first network port 2901 need to have the same configuration.

[0206] In the above embodiment, after the SOC obtains the standby instruction, it responds to the standby instruction, enters the standby state, and controls the first power supply module to no longer supply power to itself, so that it enters the power-off state. That is to say, when the display device is in the standby state, the SOC is powered off at the same time, which can save the power consumption of the display device in the standby state, thereby extending the service life of the SOC and the display device. On the other hand, by setting a network-to-serial module in the SOC, and when the SOC is in the power-off state, the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state. When the network-to-serial module is in the power-on state, it replaces the first network port in the SOC with its own second network port to obtain a network power-on data packet, and converts the network power-on data packet into a network power-on instruction, and sends the network power-on instruction to the SOC, so that the SOC responds to the power-on instruction, enters the power-on state, and runs the operating system of the display device to realize the network power-on control of the display device, ensuring that the SOC can still respond to the network power-on instruction when it is in the power-off state. In addition, compared to the solution in the prior art that first controls the display device to start up, then waits for the operating system of the display device to run, and then wakes up the display device screen, the SOC in this embodiment does not need to wait for the system to run, and immediately responds to the network power-on command quickly, thereby reducing the response delay of the display device. On the other hand, since this embodiment uses the second network port in the network-to-serial module to replace the first network port in the SOC in the power-off state during the network wake-up process, it can directly participate in the transmission of the network power-on command. Therefore, it can overcome the problem in the prior art that the first network port of the AC-powered display device is not powered and cannot support the network power-on function, thereby improving the versatility of the network power-on function.
