Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart TV technology, and for example to a method and apparatus for configuring a power management integrated circuit module, and a smart TV. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, smart TVs typically include a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) module.

Its main purpose is to achieve high energy efficiency, low power consumption, and intelligence in the power system. Existing PMIC modules are embedded in the screen, requiring the screen manufacturer to perform dedicated PMU data programming. However, the screen manufacturer only writes the initial values. After the TV screen is sold to the OEM, different values ​​are adapted for different power modules and chassis modules, making parameter modification of the PMIC module quite complex.

[0003] In related technologies, the PMIC module is moved from the screen to the TV board. Modifications to the PMIC configuration can be achieved by upgrading the main chip software on the motherboard, while the main program of the board can be upgraded via USB.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art: In related technologies, modifying the PMIC configuration requires upgrading the entire main program.

[0012] Optionally, the screen parameter data defines I2C command data corresponding to the display mode, including: determining the target parameter values ​​of each register parameter according to the datasheet of the display panel to which the power management integrated circuit module is connected; and writing the corresponding register configuration data into the screen parameter data according to the target parameter values.

[0015] Optionally, the main program upgrade process can be executed in one of the following ways: after loading the main program upgrade package and key file to the smart TV system via a USB storage device, the upgrade process is triggered through the TV user interface or factory menu; or after loading the main program upgrade package and key file to the smart TV system via a serial port connection, an upgrade command is entered during the system boot phase to trigger the upgrade process.

This makes the PMIC configuration bound to specific screen parameters, becoming a data module that can be independently edited and updated. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the PMIC parameters, the corresponding part of the I2C command data can be updated by upgrading the TV main program to complete the register parameter configuration of the PMIC module, achieving more refined, flexible and efficient PMIC configuration management.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this disclosure provides a method for configuring a power management integrated circuit module. This method is applied to a smart TV system including the power management integrated circuit module. The execution entity of this method can be the processor of the smart TV system. The method includes: S101, the processor integrates screen parameter data into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system.

[0028] The screen parameter data includes I2C command data used to configure the power management integrated circuit module.

[0029] S102, the processor responds to the execution of the main program upgrade process, writes the main program upgrade package into the smart TV system, and updates the screen parameter data file of the smart TV system according to the screen parameter data.

[0030] S103, the processor parses the corresponding I2C command data from the updated screen parameter data file.

[0031] S104, the processor configures the register parameters of the power management integrated circuit module according to the I2C command data.

[0032] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by writing the I2C command data used to configure the PMIC into the screen parameter data and integrating the screen parameter data into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system, the decoupling and datafication of the PMIC configuration and the main program code are realized. This makes the PMIC configuration bound to specific screen parameters, becoming a data module that can be independently edited and updated. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the PMIC parameters, the corresponding part of the I2C command data can be updated by upgrading the TV main program to complete the register parameter configuration of the PMIC module, achieving more refined, flexible and efficient PMIC configuration management.

[0033] Optionally, the PMIC module is embedded on the motherboard of the smart TV system.

[0034] In this embodiment, the PMIC module is placed on the motherboard, and its configuration data can be modified by upgrading the main program on the motherboard. This also reduces the complexity and number of components within the screen assembly, or lowers the overall hardware cost through large-scale production of motherboard integration.

[0035] Optionally, the screen parameter data can be integrated into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system, including: packaging the screen parameter data into a screen parameter binary file; and packaging the screen parameter binary file into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides another method for configuring a power management integrated circuit module, including: S201, the processor packages the screen parameter data into a screen parameter binary file.

[0037] S202, the processor packages the screen parameter binary file into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system.

[0038] S203, the processor responds to the execution of the main program upgrade process, writes the main program upgrade package into the smart TV system, and updates the screen parameter data file of the smart TV system according to the screen parameter data.

[0039] S204, the processor parses the corresponding I2C command data from the updated screen parameter data file.

[0040] S205, the processor configures the register parameters of the power management integrated circuit module according to the I2C command data.

[0041] In this embodiment, screen parameter data, including I2C command data, is converted into a compact screen parameter binary file (such as a panel.bin file) that can be directly recognized and loaded by the system. This achieves software-encapsulated PMIC configuration and the creation of an independent update unit. The screen parameter binary file is then integrated as an independent component into the main program upgrade package. When only PMIC parameters need to be adjusted (e.g., to adapt to a new power supply or optimize power consumption), only the corresponding part of the screen parameter binary file can be updated. Alternatively, during main program version management, the configuration data of the screen parameter binary file can be clearly and independently managed without affecting the core logic code of the main program.

[0042] Optionally, the screen parameter data is packaged into a screen parameter binary file, including: opening the screen parameter data through the target configuration tool; and generating a screen parameter binary file using the target configuration tool to compile and encapsulate the screen parameter data under different display modes into a single screen parameter binary file.

[0043] In this embodiment, a target configuration tool (such as TCONPQTools) is used to read, compile, verify, and encapsulate screen parameter data, ultimately obtaining a screen parameter binary file. The target configuration tool effectively verifies the validity and format compliance of the data, preventing invalid configurations from entering the production process, and converts readable numbers and text into binary encoding that the underlying system can directly process. Furthermore, compiling and encapsulating screen parameter data for different display modes into a single screen parameter binary file facilitates system file management and loading, and ensures that the PMIC configurations in all different modes are completely consistent in version, avoiding power configuration errors when switching between different modes due to failed file updates or version mismatches.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the original screen parameter data is first determined in an Excel spreadsheet. After saving the data, the TCONPQTools tool is opened. Within the tool, the "Save Bin File" option is found, and a default panel.bin file is present. If the model being modified is an existing model, the corresponding ID is located, where "ADVANCE" will be displayed. Selecting "Replace" will package the Excel spreadsheet data into a panel.bin file. If the model is a new model, the "Create a new image" option is selected. The last ID is incremented to create a new ID, and the PMU data will be saved in the new ID.

[0045] Optionally, screen parameter data is obtained as follows: for the display modes supported by the smart TV system, I2C command data corresponding to the display mode is defined in the screen parameter data; wherein, the I2C command data includes register addresses and values ​​set by I2C commands to adapt to the power requirements of different display modes.

[0046] Combination Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure provides another method for configuring a power management integrated circuit module, including: S301, the processor defines the I2C command data corresponding to the display mode in the screen parameter data for the display modes supported by the smart TV system.

[0047] S302, the processor integrates screen parameter data into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system.

[0048] S303, the processor responds to the main program upgrade process by writing the main program upgrade package into the smart TV system and updating the screen parameter data file of the smart TV system according to the screen parameter data.

[0049] S304, the processor parses the corresponding I2C command data from the updated screen parameter data file.

[0050] S305, the processor configures the register parameters of the power management integrated circuit module according to I2C command data.

[0051] In this embodiment, the PMIC configuration is associated with a specific display mode. Different display modes typically mean different operating voltage, current, and timing requirements for the screen's driving circuitry. By pre-defining independent PMIC register configurations (I2C command data) for each display mode, a one-to-one, precise power management strategy can be established for different operating states (display modes) of the smart TV system. When the system switches display modes, it can synchronously switch to precise power parameters optimized for that mode, achieving dynamic, precise, and automated switching of the PMIC configuration according to the operating state.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, in order to write I2C command data into the screen parameter data, the customized I2C settings can first be found in the screen parameter table. For example... Figure 4As shown, in the customized I2C settings, 0x66 represents the PMIC register address, 0x1 indicates that each register bit occupies one byte, and 0x0 and 0x2c indicate that 44 data bits are written starting from register 0. These 44 PMIC data bits include: 0xc8, 0x19, 0x1b, 0x0, 0x33, 0x2b, ... Registers 0x0 to 0x9 primarily control the core power supply settings. Registers 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, and 0x3 are named L / S Set, register 0x4 is named VSS1 Set, register 0x5 is named VSS2 Set, register 0x6 is named CTRL1, register 0x7 is named CTRL2, register 0x8 is named ILIM Set, and register 0x9 is named VAVDD Set. Registers 0xA to 0x24 primarily control advanced power supply settings such as gamma voltage. Register 0xA corresponds to GLDO Set, register 0xB to NTC Set, register 0xC to VGHN Set, register 0xE to VGLN Set, and register 0xF to VGLL. The registers 0x10, 0x11, and 0x12 are named GAM1 / 2; 0x13, 0x14, and 0x15 are named GAM3 / 4; 0x16, 0x17, and 0x18 are named GAM5 / 6; 0x19, 0x1A, and 0x1B are named GAM7 / 8; 0x1C, 0x1D, and 0x1E are named GAM9 / 10; 0x1F, 0x20, and 0x21 are named GAM11 / 12; and 0x22, 0x23, and 0x24 are named GAM13 / 14. Registers 0x25 to 0x2B are mainly used to control the common electrode voltage; registers 0x25, 0x26, and 0x27 are named VCOM1 / VCOM2; and registers 0x2A and 0x2B are named VCOM3. In addition, for different display modes, such as different resolutions (60Hz, DLG 120Hz and DLG 144Hz), PMIC data must be written separately for each resolution so that the configuration data for different resolutions can be adapted individually.

[0053] Optionally, the data to be written can be adjusted according to the voltage value in the datasheet before writing the register configuration value.

[0054] In this embodiment, based on the various power parameters required for normal screen operation as defined in the specifications (such as analog power supply, gate turn-on voltage, gamma voltage, common electrode voltage, minimum voltage, typical voltage, maximum voltage, ripple range, and maximum current values ​​corresponding to each voltage in different display modes), it can be ensured that the configuration values ​​set for the PMIC register can drive the screen to generate voltages and currents that fully comply with its hardware specifications, thus ensuring hardware compatibility and display quality.

[0055] Optionally, the I2C command data can be verified as follows: the current configuration value of the register is read through the I2C read instruction; the current configuration value is compared and verified with the expected configuration value.

[0056] In this embodiment, an I2C read command (such as sample_i2c_read1 0x66 0 1 44) can be sent via serial port to read the contents of 44 consecutive registers starting from address 0 in the PMIC module, thereby verifying whether the configuration data of the PMIC module has been accurately updated, and ensuring the accuracy of the configuration.

[0057] Optionally, the screen parameter data defines I2C command data corresponding to the display mode, including: determining the target parameter values ​​of each register parameter according to the datasheet of the display panel to which the power management integrated circuit module is connected; and writing the corresponding register configuration data into the screen parameter data according to the target parameter values.

[0058] In this embodiment, determining the precise electrical specifications based on the display panel's datasheet fundamentally ensures the compatibility of the power supply design with the screen hardware, guaranteeing a strict match between the power output and the screen's actual requirements, and preventing batch hardware problems or display malfunctions caused by parameter mismatches. Furthermore, every register configuration written into the screen parameter data can be traced back to specific clauses in the datasheet.

[0059] Optionally, the method for configuring the power management integrated circuit module further includes: after obtaining the main program upgrade package, compiling a key file associated with the main program upgrade package; and executing the main program upgrade process according to the key file.

[0060] Combination Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure provides another method for configuring a power management integrated circuit module, including: The S501 processor integrates screen parameter data into the main program upgrade package of the smart TV system.

[0061] S502, the key file associated with processor compilation and main program upgrade package.

[0062] S503, the processor executes the main program upgrade process based on the key file.

[0063] S504, the processor responds to the execution of the main program upgrade process, writes the main program upgrade package into the smart TV system, and updates the screen parameter data file of the smart TV system according to the screen parameter data.

[0064] S505: The processor parses the corresponding I2C command data from the updated screen parameter data file.

[0065] S506: The processor configures the register parameters of the power management integrated circuit module based on I2C command data.

[0066] In this embodiment, the key file is associated with the main program upgrade package, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the main program upgrade package and the key file, and preventing the use of a single key file to upgrade software of different versions or sources. By verifying the legality of the key file, it can be ensured that only authorized, legitimate, and complete main program upgrade packages can be accepted and executed by the smart TV system, preventing uncertified or maliciously tampered software from being flashed onto the device.

[0067] Optionally, compiling the key file associated with the main program upgrade package includes: locating the key configuration file in the main program source code directory; and executing a compilation command to compile the key configuration file into an upgradeable key file.

[0068] In this embodiment, each time a key file is compiled, it is based on the same key configuration file and follows the same set of compilation rules, ensuring that the format and logic of the generated key files are completely consistent. This compilation process can be seamlessly integrated into continuous integration / continuous deployment pipelines, enabling the automatic synchronous generation of keys and main program versions, thus improving development and release efficiency. Furthermore, the key configuration file includes specific identifiers or key materials; the compilation process incorporates this configuration information into the final upgradeable key file, allowing the generated key file to carry the target device's identity information. When the television system verifies this key during an upgrade, it not only verifies its legitimacy but also its applicability, achieving fine-grained management of authorization at the device level.

[0069] Optionally, the main program upgrade process can be executed in one of the following ways: after loading the main program upgrade package and key file to the smart TV system via a USB storage device, the upgrade process is triggered through the TV user interface or factory menu; or after loading the main program upgrade package and key file to the smart TV system via a serial port connection, an upgrade command is entered during the system boot phase to trigger the upgrade process.

[0070] In this embodiment, different upgrade methods provide users, production line technicians, and developers with standardized upgrade paths ranging from routine to in-depth, ensuring the accessibility and ease of use of upgrade operations and covering the entire lifecycle needs from mass production to after-sales maintenance. The upgrade process is triggered via a TV user interface or factory menu, targeting end users, field service personnel, or production line workers. The upgrade process is encapsulated into simple menu options, requiring no specialized knowledge, greatly lowering the operational threshold and making it suitable for large-scale, standardized upgrade scenarios. Alternatively, an upgrade command can be entered during the system boot phase to trigger the upgrade process. For R&D, testing, or senior maintenance engineers, serial port commands provide a reliable escape channel independent of the upper-level operating system when the system UI fails to start normally or requires low-level debugging. This ensures that corrective upgrades can still be performed in abnormal system states, improving system maintainability. Furthermore, the upgrade process is not executed automatically; it must be initiated by the operator through a clear and conscious action. This effectively prevents automatic restarts due to unexpected detection of upgrade packages by the equipment, enhancing operational safety and controllability.

Optionally, the apparatus may further include a communication interface 603 and a bus 604.
