Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of scanning pen mainboards, and in particular to a scanning pen mainboard which supports fast startup and ultra-low power consumption standby. Background Art
[0002] The scanner's motherboard is the core component, its "brain." It integrates the pen's primary circuits and components, controlling and coordinating all of the pen's components to ensure its proper and stable operation. Specifically, the motherboard receives and processes signals from the scan head, converting scanned images or text into computer-readable data. It also communicates and transmits data with other external devices, such as computers and mobile phones, enabling data transmission and synchronization. Furthermore, the motherboard provides specialized functions, such as recognition algorithm processing and image optimization, to enhance scanning accuracy and efficiency.
[0003] However, scanner pens are a significant aid to student learning, making them a popular learning tool for many. Currently, monthly shipments average up to 1 million units. As a tool, people expect it to be ready to use right out of the box, rather than waiting for a long boot-up time. This is because most scanner pens currently on the market use Linux, which takes at least seven seconds to load and boot up, or even longer. Furthermore, their high power consumption prevents them from achieving long standby times, and low-power standby operation is a major issue. This design utilizes two chip combinations. One is the XR872, which runs an RTOS and serves as the host computer, controlling the entire circuit system. Its advantages include low-power standby operation, a minimum standby current of 30uA, and support for interrupt-triggered fast startup. The other is the CSK6011, a Lingsi AI chip with a built-in 128GB NPU. It can capture camera images within 0.1 seconds after power-up, perform image stitching, perform OCR recognition, and extract text from the images into text. Based on these two chips, through SPI and UART communication bridge, ultra-low power standby and fast startup problems can be solved.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a scanning pen motherboard that supports fast startup and ultra-low power standby to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
