[0057] The method described above, as disclosed in this invention, has the following beneficial effects:

[0058] The method provided in this disclosure addresses a first storage module that cannot simultaneously be in read and write modes. When the first storage module needs to update the touchscreen firmware (i.e., when writing is required in the first storage module), the image correction data stored in the first storage module is first transferred to a second storage module. Subsequently, while writing data for updating the touchscreen firmware into the first storage module, the image correction data can be read from the second storage module. The display is then based on the read image correction data, ensuring that image correction data can be read from the second storage module during the data writing phase in the first storage module. This allows the electronic device to display normally, avoids display abnormalities, and improves the user experience. Furthermore, the second storage module is an existing storage module in the electronic device; normal display can be ensured through optimization of the data read / write process without adding new storage resources, thus reducing costs and power consumption.

[0059] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0067] Figure 6 This is a block diagram illustrating a display device according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0068] Figure 7 This is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0069] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0070] The OLED TDDIIC uses a new type of non-volatile memory. This new non-volatile memory has different I / O (Input / Output) interfaces when in write mode and read mode, and the voltage of the Word Line and Select Line are also different. That is, it cannot be in write mode and read mode at the same time. As a result, when the new non-volatile memory is in write mode, it cannot read the data stored in the non-volatile memory, which affects the user experience.

[0071] In one example, a novel non-volatile random access memory (RRAM) stores the touchscreen firmware (TP firmware) and display-related data (e.g., gamma data). When the touchscreen firmware needs to be updated, data needs to be written to this novel non-volatile memory. At this time, the I / O interface in the RRAM changes from output to input, and the power supply in the RRAM switches from read power to write power, that is, the voltage is switched to the voltage required for write mode. That is, during the touchscreen firmware update phase, data can only be written to the RRAM, and cannot be read from the RRAM. In other words, display-related data cannot be read, preventing the electronic device from displaying based on the display-related data, causing display abnormalities such as black screens or incomplete display content, resulting in a poor user experience. Moreover, if the time for writing data to the RRAM is long, the duration of display abnormalities in the electronic device will also be longer, which will seriously affect the user experience.

[0072] This disclosure provides a display method. In response to detecting an update operation on the touchscreen firmware, a first mode switching command is triggered. The touchscreen firmware is stored in a first storage module. The first mode switching command instructs the first storage module to switch from read mode to write mode. The first storage module cannot be in both read and write modes simultaneously. In response to the first switching command, a first preset data stored in the first storage module is transferred to a second storage module. The first preset data includes at least image correction data used to adjust the brightness and contrast of the electronic device's screen. Simultaneously, second preset data is written to the first storage module, and the first preset data is read from the second storage module. The second preset data is used to update the touchscreen firmware. Display is then performed based on the first preset data. This method allows image correction data to be read from the second storage module during the data writing stage, ensuring normal display of the electronic device, avoiding display abnormalities, and improving the user experience. Furthermore, since the second storage module is an existing storage module in the electronic device, normal display can be guaranteed through optimization of the data read / write process without adding new storage resources, thus reducing cost and power consumption.

[0073] The display method provided in this disclosure is executed by an electronic device, which may specifically be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, smart robot, smart wearable device, vehicle terminal, or other device equipped with a screen. In addition, the electronic device also includes various hardware resources and an energy storage device that provides power for the operation of these hardware resources.

[0074] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a display method according to an exemplary embodiment, performed by an electronic device. See also... Figure 1The method includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S101: In response to detecting an update operation to the touch screen firmware, a first mode switching instruction is triggered; the touch screen firmware is stored in the first storage module, and the first mode switching instruction is used to instruct the first storage module to switch from read mode to write mode. The first storage module cannot be in read mode and write mode at the same time.

[0076] Touchscreen firmware is a type of embedded software responsible for handling touchscreen signals and operations. It can be updated to adapt to the touchscreen or improve the user experience. The touchscreen firmware is stored in a first storage module, which is a storage module configured within the electronic device. This first storage module cannot be in both read and write modes simultaneously; that is, data cannot be read from and written to the first storage module at the same time.

[0077] In response to the detection of an update operation for the touchscreen firmware, it indicates that the touchscreen firmware needs to be updated. When updating the touchscreen firmware, content needs to be written to the first storage module. Therefore, in response to the detection of an update operation for the touchscreen firmware, a first mode switching instruction is triggered to instruct the first storage module to switch from read mode to write mode.

[0078] In some embodiments, an update operation on the touchscreen firmware is triggered upon the first startup of the electronic device. For example, to configure the touch functionality of the electronic device upon its first startup, an update operation on the touchscreen firmware may be triggered to ensure that the user can use the electronic device normally after startup. Alternatively, an update operation on the touchscreen firmware may be triggered when a trigger operation on an update control associated with the touchscreen firmware is detected. For example, during the user's use of the electronic device, to meet more user needs or improve the user experience, the user may trigger an update control associated with the touchscreen firmware to update the touchscreen firmware. The update control associated with the touchscreen firmware may be located in the system settings interface or other interfaces of the electronic device; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0079] In some embodiments, after the touchscreen firmware update is completed, in response to detecting that the touchscreen firmware update is complete, a second mode switching instruction can be triggered to send a second mode switching instruction to the first storage module, causing the first storage module to switch from write mode to read mode, so that other modules can continue to read from the first storage module.

[0080] In step S102, in response to the first mode switching command, the first preset data stored in the first storage module is transferred to the second storage module. The first preset data includes at least image correction data, which is used to adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen of the electronic device.

[0081] The first storage module and the second storage module are two different types of storage modules, and there is a data connection between the first storage module and the second storage module, that is, the first storage module and the second storage module can transfer data to each other. For example, the first storage module is RRAM and the second storage module is SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory).

[0082] The first storage module has the characteristic that it cannot be in both write mode and read mode at the same time. In response to the first mode switching command, it means that the first storage module needs to switch from read mode to write mode. During the first storage module is in write mode, it is no longer possible to read from the first storage module. In order to facilitate other modules to read the first preset data stored in the first storage module during the first storage module is in write mode, the first preset data stored in the first storage module is transferred to the second storage module before the first storage module switches to write mode. That is, the first preset data is stored in the second storage module.

[0083] The first preset data refers to data related to the display of the electronic device. The first preset data includes at least image correction data, which is used to adjust the brightness and contrast of the electronic device's screen. For example, the image correction data may be gamma data. Of course, the first preset data may also include other data; this embodiment does not limit the specific content of the first preset data.

[0084] In step S103, while writing the second preset data into the first storage module, the first preset data is read from the second storage module. The second preset data is used to update the touch screen firmware.

[0085] After the first storage module switches to write mode, second preset data is written into the first storage module. The second preset data is used to update the touch screen firmware. For example, the second preset data may include data for describing new functions added to the touch screen firmware, data for modifying the touch screen firmware, data for optimizing the performance of the touch screen, etc. The specific content of the second preset data is not limited in this embodiment.

[0086] Since the first preset data has already been stored in the second storage module, reading from the second storage module is not affected when the first storage module is in write mode. Therefore, while writing the second preset data into the first storage module, the first preset data can be read from the second storage module, so that the display can be based on the first preset data, ensuring normal display while the touch screen firmware is updated.

[0087] Step S104: Display based on the first preset data.

[0088] After reading the first preset data from the second storage module, the data can be displayed based on the first preset data.

[0089] In some embodiments, the screen can be set based on first preset data, for example, based on image correction data, to adjust the screen's brightness and contrast to ensure normal screen display.

[0090] The method provided in this disclosure addresses a first storage module that cannot simultaneously be in read and write modes. When the first storage module needs to update the touchscreen firmware (i.e., when writing is required in the first storage module), the image correction data stored in the first storage module is first transferred to a second storage module. Subsequently, while writing data for updating the touchscreen firmware into the first storage module, the image correction data can be read from the second storage module. The display is then based on the read image correction data, ensuring that image correction data can be read from the second storage module during the data writing phase in the first storage module. This allows the electronic device to display normally, avoids display abnormalities, and improves the user experience. Furthermore, the second storage module is an existing storage module in the electronic device; normal display can be ensured through optimization of the data read / write process without adding new storage resources, thus reducing costs and power consumption.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first preset data may include control data in addition to image correction data. The control data is used to configure the image compensation data in the second storage module. The image compensation data is used to perform at least one of image enhancement processing, image correction processing, and image noise reduction processing on the image to be displayed. Optionally, the image compensation data may also be referred to as image compensation IP (Intellectual Property). For example, the image compensation IP kernel may include a crosstalk image compensation IP kernel or other image compensation kernels. Image correction data and control data are two different types of data and can be read from the second storage module by different modules. The following describes... Figure 2 The illustrated embodiments illustrate this.

[0092] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a data read / write process according to an exemplary embodiment, performed by an electronic device. See also... Figure 2 The method includes the following steps:

[0093] In step S201, in response to detecting an update operation to the touchscreen firmware, a first mode switching command is triggered.

[0094] In step S202, in response to the first mode switching command, the first preset data stored in the first storage module is transferred to the second storage module.

[0095] In step S203, while writing the second preset data into the first storage module, in response to the first operation, the image correction data stored in the second storage module is transferred to the image correction module.

[0096] The first operation is the operation of the image correction module reading image correction data from the second storage module. There is a data connection between the image correction module and the second storage module, that is, the image correction module and the second storage module can transfer data to each other.

[0097] In response to the first operation, the image correction data stored in the second storage module is transferred to the image correction module, that is, the image correction data is read from the second storage module through the image correction module.

[0098] In some embodiments, after storing the first preset data in the second storage module, in order for the image correction module to read the image correction data from the second storage module, a first switching instruction needs to be sent to the image correction module. The first switching instruction is used to instruct the image correction module to switch from reading data from the first storage module to reading data from the second storage module. In this case, a first operation is triggered in response to the first switching instruction to the image correction module.

[0099] The first switching command is triggered in response to an update operation on the touchscreen firmware. That is, when an update operation on the touchscreen firmware is detected, it can be determined that the first storage module needs to switch to write mode. In order for the image correction module to read image correction data during the touchscreen firmware update, the first switching command is triggered to instruct the image correction module to switch from reading data from the first storage module to reading data from the second storage module.

[0100] In step S204, while writing the second preset data into the first storage module, in response to the third operation, the control data stored in the second storage module is transmitted to the display process module.

[0101] The third operation is the operation of the display process module reading control data from the second storage module. There is a data connection between the display process module and the second storage module, that is, the display process module and the second storage module can transfer data to each other.

[0102] In response to the third operation, the control data stored in the second storage module is transmitted to the display process module, that is, the control data is read from the second storage module through the display process module.

[0103] In some embodiments, since the control data is used to configure the image compensation data in the second storage module, the image compensation data also needs to be read from the second storage module at the same time as the control data is read from the second storage module by the display process module, and the image compensation data is configured based on the control data.

[0104] In some embodiments, after storing the first preset data in the second storage module, in order for the display process module to read control data from the second storage module, a third switching instruction needs to be issued to the display process module. The third switching instruction is used to instruct the display process module to switch from reading data from the first storage module to reading data from the second storage module. In this case, a third operation is triggered in response to the third switching instruction to the display process module.

[0105] The third switching instruction is triggered in response to an update operation on the touchscreen firmware. That is, when an update operation on the touchscreen firmware is detected, it can be determined that the first storage module needs to switch to write mode. In order for the display process module to read control data during the touchscreen firmware update, the third switching instruction is triggered to instruct the display process module to switch from reading data from the first storage module to reading data from the second storage module.

[0106] It should be noted that the above implementation is only an example of executing step S203 first and then step S204. In another embodiment, steps S203 and S204 can be executed simultaneously, or step S204 can be executed first and then step S203.

[0107] Another point to note is that after the image correction data is transmitted to the image correction module, the image to be displayed can be processed based on the image correction data in the image correction module, or the image correction data can be transmitted to other modules through the image correction module. Similarly, after the control data is transmitted to the display process module, image compensation data can be configured based on the control data in the display process module, and then the image to be displayed can be processed based on the image compensation data, or the control data can be transmitted to other modules through the display process module. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display process after reading the image correction data and control data from the second storage module.

[0108] In this embodiment, a data connection is added between the image correction module and the second storage module, so that the image correction module can read image correction data from the second storage module. There is also a data connection between the display process module and the second storage module, so that the display process module can read control data from the second storage module. This allows the image correction module to perform corresponding operations based on the image correction data, and the display process module to perform corresponding operations based on the control data, ensuring the normal display of the electronic device.

[0109] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a data read / write process according to an exemplary embodiment, performed by an electronic device. See also... Figure 3 The method includes the following steps:

[0110] In step S301, in response to detecting an update operation to the touchscreen firmware, a first mode switching command is triggered.

[0111] In step S302, in response to the first mode switching command, the first preset data stored in the first storage module is transferred to the second storage module.

[0112] Step S303: Stop reading image compensation data from the second storage module.

[0113] In some embodiments, reading all image compensation data in the second storage module can be stopped, or reading only a portion of the image compensation data in the second storage module can be stopped. For example, if the second storage module stores first image compensation data and second image compensation data, where the first image compensation data is used for image enhancement processing of the image to be displayed and the second image compensation data is used for image correction processing of the image to be displayed, then reading both the first and second image compensation data can be stopped. Alternatively, reading only the first image compensation data can be stopped, or reading only the second image compensation data can be stopped.

[0114] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the first preset data is stored in the second storage module, in order to avoid the image compensation data originally cached in the second storage module from affecting the reading of the first preset data, the reading of the image compensation data in the second storage module can be stopped, thereby reducing the use of the cache in the second storage module.

[0115] Step S304: Write the second preset image into the first storage module, and update the touch screen firmware in the first storage module based on the second preset image.

[0116] In step S305, in response to the first operation, the image correction data stored in the second storage module is transferred to the image correction module.

[0117] Step S306: In response to detecting that the touchscreen firmware update is complete, a second mode switching command and a second switching command are triggered, and in response to the second mode switching command and the second switching command, a second operation is triggered.

[0118] After the touchscreen firmware update in the first storage module is completed, a second mode switching command needs to be sent to the first storage module. The second mode switching command is used to instruct the first storage module to switch from write mode to read mode. In order for the image correction module to continue reading image correction data from the first storage module, a second switching command needs to be sent to the image correction module. The second switching command is used to instruct the image correction module to switch from reading data from the second storage module to reading data from the first storage module. In this case, in response to the second mode switching command and the second switching command, a second operation is triggered so that the image correction module reads image correction data from the first storage module.

[0119] In step S307, in response to the third operation, the control data stored in the second storage module is transferred to the display process module.

[0120] In step S308, in response to detecting that the touchscreen firmware update is complete, a second mode switching command and a fourth switching command are triggered, and in response to the second mode switching command and the fourth switching command, a fourth operation is triggered.

[0121] After the touchscreen firmware update in the first storage module is completed, a second mode switching command needs to be sent to the first storage module. The second mode switching command is used to instruct the first storage module to switch from write mode to read mode. In order for the display process module to read control data from the first storage module, a fourth switching command needs to be sent to the display process module. The fourth switching command is used to instruct the display process module to switch from reading data from the second storage module to reading data from the first storage module. In this case, in response to the second mode switching command to the first storage module and the fourth switching command to the display process module, a fourth operation is triggered so that the display process module reads control data from the first storage module.

[0122] It should be noted that steps S305-S306 and S306-S307 are two parallel methods. In another embodiment, steps S306-S307 may be omitted, or steps S305-S306 and S306-S307 may be executed simultaneously.

[0123] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by issuing corresponding switching instructions to the image correction module and the display process module, it is ensured that the image correction module and the display process module can read the corresponding data from the correct storage module. This avoids the image correction module and the display process module still reading from the first storage module when the first storage module cannot read the data, or avoids the image correction module and the display process module still reading from the second storage module when it is no longer necessary to read from the second storage module, thereby reducing unnecessary erroneous operations and improving data reading efficiency.

[0124] In one example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a display IC architecture according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As can be seen, in the display IC architecture of this disclosure embodiment, there is a data connection between RRAM and SRAM (e.g., Figure 4 As shown by the dashed arrow in the middle, there is a data connection between the SRAM and the Gamma module (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown by the dashed arrow in the middle), and SRAM is an existing module in the display IC architecture; no new modules have been added. The display IC architecture includes the following modules: MIPIDSC (Mobile Industry Processor Interface Display Command Set), SPI I / O (Serial Peripheral Interface Input / Output), OSC (Oscillator), Tcon (Timing Control), Gamma module, Display Process module, Demura module, SRAM, RRAM, Powermanagement module, DSP (Digital Signal Processor), Txcontrol (Text Processing) module, Timer, S / D (Source / Drain), GOA (GateDriven on Array) module, ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), and AFE (Analog Front End). The connections between these modules are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0125] In one example, Figure 5A This is a flowchart illustrating a display method in a related art according to an exemplary embodiment, from... Figure 5A As can be seen, in the relevant technology, RRAM responds to the first mode switching command and switches to write mode. At this time, RRAM updates TP firmware, but the Gamma module cannot read data from RRAM, resulting in a black screen or abnormal display.

[0126] Figure 5B This is a flowchart illustrating a display method according to an exemplary embodiment, from... Figure 5B It can be seen that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, based on the above... Figure 4 The display IC architecture shown in the diagram responds to the first mode switching command by first transferring the Gamma data and control data stored in the RRAM to the SRAM. Then, the RRAM updates the TP firmware normally, while the Gamma module can read the Gamma data from the SRAM and the Display Process module can read the control data from the SRAM, thus enabling normal display.

[0127] As can be seen from the above examples, the display method in this embodiment does not require the addition of a new storage module compared with the display methods in related technologies. Furthermore, while the RRAM (i.e., the first storage module) is updating the TP firmware normally, the Gamma module (i.e., the image correction module) and the Display Process module (i.e., the display process module) can still read the corresponding data normally from the SRAM (i.e., the second storage module). In other words, the display anomaly problem that occurs when writing data in the first storage module can be solved by utilizing the existing storage space and optimizing the data read and write process.
