In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and Examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present application and are not configured to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
[0021] The embodiment of the present application provides an interactive device. When a user switches a signal source, the signal source does not need to re-identify and establish a connection with the mainboard, so that it can respond to the user's touch signal instantly, thereby improving the response speed of the touch signal and enhancing the user's touch experience.
[0022] The interactive device and interactive system provided by the embodiment of the present application are described below through specific embodiments. Among them, the interactive device can be a device with human-computer interaction function, such as a large-screen device, an all-in-one machine, etc.
[0023] Figure 1 A structural diagram of an interactive device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the interactive device 10 may include a USB controller 101, a mainboard 102 and a touch frame 103, wherein the mainboard 102 may be an Android mainboard, a large-screen mainboard, etc. The USB controller 101 may include at least two output ports, so that it can be connected to at least two signal sources to meet the user's needs for different signal sources.
[0024] Figure 1 For example, the USB controller 101 includes two output ports, namely a first output port device1 and a second output port device2. In actual application, more output ports may be included to achieve connection with more signal sources.
[0025] The touch frame 103 is used to receive the user's touch signal. For example, the touch frame 103 may be an infrared touch frame. For example, infrared receiving tubes and infrared transmitting tubes may be arranged around the touch frame 103 to form an infrared optical network to receive the user's touch signal through the infrared optical network.
[0026] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the USB controller 101 may include a first input port (General-purpose input / output, GPIO), which is permanently connected to the output port GPIO of the motherboard 102, and the input port usb2.0 host of the motherboard 102 is permanently connected to the first output port 1usb2.0 of the touch frame 103.
[0027] The first output port device1 of the USB controller 101 is permanently connected to the first touch port P11 of the first signal source P1 , and the second output port device2 is permanently connected to the second touch port P21 of the second signal source P2 .
[0028] Here, the first signal source P1 and the second signal source P2 may both be external signal sources, or both be internal signal sources, or one may be an external signal source and the other may be an internal signal source. The external signal source may be, for example, an external personal computer (PC), and the internal signal source may be, for example, an Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) host. That is, the embodiment of the present application switches between different external signal sources, or between an external signal source and an internal signal source, or between internal signal sources, thereby improving the flexibility of signal switching.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, the touch frame 103 can receive a touch signal from a user and send it to the mainboard 102 through the first output port 1usb2.0. After receiving the touch signal, the mainboard 102 can parse the touch signal to obtain touch data and signal source information, and send the touch data and signal source information to the USB controller 101 through the output port GPIO of the mainboard 102. After receiving the touch data and signal source information, the USB controller 101 can send the touch data to the corresponding signal source through the output port corresponding to the signal source information.
[0030] For example, if the signal source is the first signal source P1, the USB controller 101 sends the touch data to the first signal source P1 through the first output port device1. For another example, if the signal source is the second signal source P2, the USB controller 101 sends the touch data to the second signal source P2 through the second output port device2. For another example, the user sent the touch data to the first signal source P1 last time, and this time he wants to send the touch data to the second signal source P2. Because the USB controller 101 always maintains a long connection with the motherboard 102 and the signal source, after receiving the touch data and the corresponding signal source information, the USB controller 101 can directly send the touch data to the second signal source P2 through the second output port device2. The second signal source P2 no longer needs to establish a connection with the motherboard 102, thereby eliminating the blank period of several seconds caused by the traditional signal source switching and improving the touch response speed.
[0031] The signal source information is used to indicate to which signal source the user needs to transmit the touch data, and may include, for example, a unique identifier of the signal source.
[0032] Figure 2 A structural diagram of another interactive device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the touch box 103 may further include a second output port 2usb2.0, and the USB controller 101 may further include a second input port usb2.0 host1, and the second output port 2usb2.0 of the touch box 103 is permanently connected to the second input port usb2.0 host1 of the USB controller 101. In this case, the touch data may be sent by the touch box 103 to the USB controller 101, and the signal source information may be sent by the touch box 103 to the motherboard 102, and then parsed by the motherboard 102 and sent to the USB controller 101, and the USB controller 101 may send the touch data to the corresponding signal source according to the parsing result sent by the motherboard 102. That is, the touch data and the signal source may be sent to the USB controller 101 through different links.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the interactive device 10 may further include a first USB device 104 and a USB switch 105 .
[0034] The first USB device 104 may be a device with USB functions, for example, including but not limited to a camera, a microphone, and a USB flash drive.
[0035] The output port usb2.0 of the first USB device 104 is permanently connected to the first input port s of the USB switch 105, and the second input port GPIO of the USB switch 105 is permanently connected to the output port GPIO of the motherboard 102. The USB switch 105 includes at least two output ports, Figure 2 For example, the USB switch 105 includes two output ports, namely a first output port s1 and a second output port s2.
[0036] The first output port s1 of the USB switch 105 is long-connected to the first touch port P11 of the first signal source P1, and the second output port s2 of the USB switch 105 is long-connected to the second touch port P21 of the second signal source P2. Of course, in actual application, the first output port s1 of the USB switch 105 can also be long-connected to the second touch port P21 of the second signal source P2, and the second output port s2 of the USB switch 105 can be long-connected to the first touch port P11 of the first signal source P1. That is, the correspondence between the output port of the USB switch 105, the output port of the USB controller 101, and the touch port of the signal source can be set according to actual needs.
[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, after the mainboard 102 obtains the touch data and signal source information, in addition to sending the touch data and signal source information to the USB controller 101 through the output port GPIO, the signal source information is also sent to the USB switch 105 through the output port GPIO. After receiving the signal source information, the USB switch 105 sends the USB data sent by the first USB device to the corresponding signal source through the output port corresponding to the signal source information.
[0038] For example, if the signal source corresponding to the signal source information is the first signal source P1, then after receiving the signal source information, the USB switch 105 sends the USB data sent by the first USB device to the first signal source P1 through the first output port s1. For another example, if the signal source corresponding to the signal source information is the second signal source P2, then after receiving the signal source information, the USB switch 105 sends the USB data sent by the first USB device to the second signal source P2 through the second output port s2.
[0039] The embodiment of the present application adds a first USB device and a USB switch, so that the signal source can switch between the touch frame and the first USB device, realizing the switching of multiple devices and meeting more requirements. In addition, because the connection between the newly added device and the mainboard and the signal source is a long connection, when the signal source switches between different devices, it can also reduce the user's waiting time and improve the signal switching efficiency.
[0040] When the first USB device includes multiple devices, such as Figure 3 As shown, the interactive device 10 may further include a first hub 106 .
[0041] The first hub 106 is used to combine multiple input signals into one signal and output it. A first USB device 104 is permanently connected to an input port of the first hub 106, for example, Figure 3 In the example, the camera is permanently connected to the input port Down1 of the first hub 106 , the microphone is permanently connected to the input port Down2 of the first hub 106 , and the U disk is permanently connected to the input port Down3 of the first hub 106 .
[0042] The first hub 106 can combine the signals sent by the camera, microphone and USB disk into one signal, and send it to the USB switch 105 through the output port Up, thereby realizing effective transmission of the signal.
[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the interactive device 10 may further include a second hub 107 and a third hub 108 .
[0044] The second hub 107 can be configured to merge the signals of one output port of the USB controller 101 and one output port of the USB switch into one signal, and send it to one signal source. The third hub 108 can be configured to merge the signals of another output port of the USB controller 101 and another output port of the USB switch into one signal, and send it to another signal source.
[0045] Figure 4 Take the example that the second hub 107 is configured to merge the signals of the first output port device1 of the USB controller 101 and the first output port s1 of the USB switch 105 into one signal and send it to the first touch port P11 of the first signal source P1, and the third hub 108 is configured to merge the signals of the second output port device2 of the USB controller 101 and the second output port s2 of the USB switch 105 into one signal and send it to the second touch port P21 of the second signal source P2.
[0046] That is, the first input port Down1 of the second hub 107 is long connected to the first output port device1 of the USB controller 101, the second input port Down2 of the second hub 107 is long connected to the first output port s1 of the USB switch 105, and the output port Up of the second hub 107 is long connected to the first touch port P11. The first input port Down1 of the third hub 108 is long connected to the second output port device2 of the USB controller 101, the second input port Down2 of the third hub 108 is long connected to the second output port s2 of the USB switch 105, and the output port Up of the third hub 108 is long connected to the second touch port P21.
[0047] The models and structures of the second hub 107 and the third hub 108 may be the same or different.
[0048] The embodiment of the present application can merge multiple input signals by adding a hub in the interactive device, so that the signal source can be switched between the touch frame and USB devices such as cameras and microphones, thereby realizing switching of multiple devices and meeting more switching needs of users.
[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the interactive device 10 may further include a second USB device 1010 , which may be a device with USB function. The output port usb2.0 of the second USB device 1010 is permanently connected to the third input port usb2.0host2 of the USB controller 101 .
[0050] In some embodiments, there may be multiple second USB devices 1010 , such as cameras, microphones, USB flash drives, etc. When there are multiple second USB devices 1010 , one second USB device 1010 is permanently connected to a third input port usb2.0 host2 of the USB controller 101 .
[0051] Because the second USB device 1010 such as the camera, microphone, USB flash drive, etc. is permanently connected to the USB controller 101, seamless switching of the second USB device 1010 such as the camera, microphone, USB flash drive, etc. can be achieved, achieving the effect of instant switching and instant response, thereby improving the user's switching experience.
[0052] Taking the first signal source P1 and the second signal source P2 as external signal sources, in some embodiments, the interactive device 10 may also include a built-in signal source, and accordingly, the USB controller 101 may also include a third output port (not shown). The third output port of the USB controller is permanently connected to the third touch port of the built-in signal source.
[0053] That is, the embodiments of the present application can not only switch between external signal sources, but also switch between external signal sources and internal signal sources, so as to adapt to more scenarios and meet more needs of users.
[0054] The embodiment of the present application sets a USB controller and sets the USB controller to maintain a long connection with the signal source and the touch frame, so that when the signal source is switched, the signal source does not need to re-identify and re-establish a connection with the touch frame, thereby being able to respond to the user's touch signal instantly, thereby improving the response speed of the touch signal.
[0055] Figure 6 A structural diagram of an interactive system provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6As shown, the interactive system 20 may include a signal source 21 and the interactive device 10 in the above embodiment, where the signal source 21 may include one or more external signal sources. The signal source 21 maintains a long connection with the interactive device 10, so that when the signal source is switched, it can respond immediately, reducing the waiting time of the user.
