[0033] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a switch, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the front panel in the switch of this application.

[0034] In this embodiment, the switch is provided with a front panel;

[0035] There is a hot key switch on the front panel (i.e. Figure 1 The hotkey switch is used to switch the hotkey switching function of the mouse and keyboard connected to the front panel. When the hotkey switch is turned on, the operation commands of the terminal device connected to the switch and the function switching of the switch can be directly triggered by the mouse and keyboard.

[0036] based on Figure 1 From the interface structure of the front panel shown, it can be seen that the switch proposed in this embodiment is provided with a hot key switching function. When the user needs to quickly switch the operating functions of the switch and the terminal device, the hot key switching switch can be turned to the "ON" position, so that the mouse and keyboard connected to the switch can realize the fast switching control of the operating functions of the switch and the terminal device, avoiding the problems of inconvenience and low efficiency caused by the user physically operating the switch.

[0037] At the same time, if there is no need to quickly switch the operating functions of the switcher and terminal device, the hot key switch can be turned to the "OFF" position to turn off the quick switching control of the operating functions of the switcher and terminal device through the mouse and keyboard.

[0038] Combination Figure 2 , the connection structure of each device connected to the switch is explained.

[0039] Furthermore, a control device connection port (i.e. Figure 1 The control device connector is used to connect the mouse and keyboard.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the control device connection port on the front panel includes a USB interface for connecting to a mouse and a USB interface for connecting to a keyboard. It should be noted that both USB interfaces have hotkey mode. When the hotkey switch is turned to the "ON" position, the mouse and keyboard connected to the two USB interfaces can achieve quick control of the switch and terminal devices.

[0041] Furthermore, the front panel is also provided with a peripheral device connection port (i.e. Figure 1 The peripheral device connector is used to connect a flash drive, camera and / or printer.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the peripheral device connection port on the front panel includes two USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces for connecting to a flash drive, a camera and / or a printer, such as Figure 2 As shown, one of the USB interfaces is used to connect to a USB camera, and the other USB interface is used to connect to a flash drive (i.e. Figure 2 When the hotkey switch is turned to the "OFF" position, the two USB interfaces support the flash drive, camera and / or printer connected to them.

[0043] Furthermore, an infrared receiving window (i.e. Figure 1 The IR in the figure, i.e. number 6), the infrared receiving window is used to receive infrared control signals to control the switcher to enter the power-on state, control the terminal device connected to the switcher to enter the standby state, or switch the high-definition multimedia input port.

[0044] The infrared receiving window is used to access Figure 3 The infrared remote control shown (i.e. Figure 2 The infrared control signal emitted by the IR receiver in the Figure 3 The power button of the infrared remote control shown (i.e. Figure 3 When the number 9 in the figure is pressed, the infrared receiving window will enter the power-on state according to the infrared control signal corresponding to the power button. If the switch is already in the power-on state, the switch will control the terminal device connected to the switch to enter the standby state according to the infrared control signal corresponding to the power button. Figure 3 The toggle key in Figure 3If the number 10 in the figure is pressed, the switch automatically switches to access the high-definition multimedia signal from the first high-definition multimedia channel or from the second high-definition multimedia channel according to the actual operation; if Figure 3 The channel selection keys in Figure 3 When the channel selection key numbered "11" is pressed, the corresponding high-definition multimedia channel is turned on according to the channel selection key pressed. For example, when the channel selection key numbered "C" is pressed, the high-definition multimedia signal is switched to the first high-definition multimedia channel. When the channel selection key numbered "D" is pressed, the high-definition multimedia signal is switched to the second high-definition multimedia channel. Figure 3 The cycle button in Figure 3 When a) in the figure is pressed, the switch will cycle through the high-definition multimedia signal sources.

[0045] It should be noted that Figure 1 The other components in are described below. Figure 1 Number 3 is the power indicator light. When the switch is in working state, the power indicator light is green, and when the switch is in standby state, the power indicator light is red. Number 4 is the high-definition multimedia channel indicator light. When the high-definition multimedia signal is connected based on the first high-definition multimedia channel, the indicator light labeled A is green, and when the high-definition multimedia signal is connected based on the second high-definition multimedia channel, the indicator light labeled B is green. Number 5 is the automatic switching function indicator AUTO. When the function of automatically switching high-definition multimedia channels is turned on, the automatic switching function indicator light is green, and when the function of automatically switching high-definition multimedia channels is turned off, the automatic switching function indicator light is off. Number 8 is the manual switching function switch SELECT. When this button is pressed, the user will manually control the switching of high-definition multimedia channels through the hot key function and the infrared remote control.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The switch is also provided with a rear panel, and the rear panel is provided with an infrared signal receiving interface (i.e. Figure 4 17 in the IR EXT) is used to insert the infrared receiving line and access the infrared control signal through the infrared signal receiving interface.

[0047] The infrared signal receiving interface is connected to a 38KHz infrared receiving line.
