[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than limit the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work, fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the present application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but can optionally include other steps or units not listed, or can optionally include other steps or units inherent to the process, method, product or device.

[0032] In this document, reference to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. It is expressly understood that the embodiments described herein are merely examples from a potentially infinite number of embodiments that can be made.

[0033] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a separate monitoring instrument provided in the present application, the separate monitoring instrument 100 including a monitoring host 10 and a base 20, and the monitoring host 10 can be placed on the base 20.

[0034] Optionally, a limiting mechanism can be arranged on the base 20 to fix the monitoring host 10. For example, the limiting mechanism can be a groove, a blocking piece, a buckle, etc. The monitoring host 10 and the base 20 can also be respectively provided with magnetic attraction mechanisms. When the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 are close to each other, the magnetic attraction mechanisms are magnetically connected.

[0035] It can be understood that when the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 are in contact or away from each other, data interaction can be performed between the monitoring host 10 and the base 20. For example, the monitoring host 10 is provided with a display screen. In some application scenarios, in addition to the display screen on the monitoring host 10 displaying monitoring data, display data is also transmitted to the base 20 through data interaction between the monitoring host 10 and the base 20, and then transmitted to an external display device by the base 20 for synchronous display. For example, the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 can be arranged in a ward, an operating room, an emergency room, etc., and the external display device can be arranged in a doctor's office, a consultation room, etc.

[0036] Optionally, when the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 are in contact, electrical connection of the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 can also be achieved. It can be understood that since the base 20 is generally immovable, it can be directly connected to a power supply (such as 200V AC) through a socket, and the monitoring host 10 can be charged or directly powered by the base 20 through electrical connection when the monitoring host 10 is in contact with the base 20.

[0037] In an embodiment, the monitoring host 10 includes a first connector, and the base 20 includes a second connector. When the monitoring host 10 is placed on the base 20, the first connector and the second connector are in contact to achieve electrical connection. Optionally, the first connector and the second connector can be pogo pins. Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 is a cross-sectional structure diagram of a pogo pin in an embodiment. The pogo pin includes a needle shaft A1, a needle tube A2 and a spring A3. Based on the elastic force of the spring A3, the needle shaft A1 and the needle tube A2 are tightly connected, so as to achieve electrical connection of the monitoring host 10 and the base 20. For example, the base 20 is provided with a groove for accommodating the monitoring host 10. Therefore, the pogo pin can be arranged in the groove.

[0038] It can be understood that in the related art, data transmission between the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 can adopt the above-mentioned pogo pin or WIFI to transmit video data.

[0039] The pogo pin has the following disadvantages in transmitting video data:

[0040] 1. Since the contact (needle shaft) of the pogo pin is exposed to the air, it is easily affected by dust, water stains, etc., and therefore has poor waterproof and dustproof capabilities.

[0041] 2. The contact connection mode of the spring needle is prone to problems such as broken needle and contact deviation when subjected to external impact and vibration, and thus has poor anti-vibration capability.

[0042] 3. The high-speed video signal is transmitted through the contact of the spring needle, and interference may occur due to the absence of a shielding layer, resulting in noise and mesh patterns in the video signal.

[0043] The WIFI transmission of video data has the following disadvantages:

[0044] 1. The WIFI frequency band is divided into 2.4G and 5G. For the 2.4G frequency band commonly used by medical devices, the transmission rate is usually 54Mbps, which is relatively low, and high-resolution video signals may not be able to achieve stable and smooth transmission.

[0045] 2. The WIFI signal frequency band is at 2.4G, which contains various wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and zigbee, and interference may exist between them, affecting the transmission quality of the video signal.

[0046] 3. The power consumption of WIFI is relatively high, generally around 1W.

[0047] To solve the above problems, the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 in the embodiments of the present application use millimeter wave technology to transmit video data. Millimeter wave is an electromagnetic wave between microwave and light wave, and the millimeter wave frequency band is usually 30GHz-300GHz, corresponding to a wavelength of 1mm-10mm. Millimeter wave communication refers to communication using millimeter waves as information carriers.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the monitoring host / base provided by the present application. The discrete monitor 100 includes a monitoring host 10 and a base 20, and the monitoring host 10 can be placed on the base 20.

[0049] For the monitoring host 10, the monitoring host 10 comprises a processing unit 11, a display unit 12, a first video conversion unit 13 and a first communication unit 14. Among them, the processing unit 11 is configured to output a first video signal S1 and a second video signal S2 for displaying different display areas in the same picture; the display unit 12 is connected to the processing unit 11, and the display unit 12 is configured to receive the first video signal S1 for display; the first video conversion unit 13 is connected to the processing unit 11, and the first video conversion unit 13 is configured to receive the second video signal S2 and convert the second video signal S2 into a third video signal S3; the first communication unit 14 is connected to the first video conversion unit 13, and the first communication unit 14 comprises a first millimeter wave transmitting module (not shown in the figure), and the first communication unit 14 is configured to receive the third video signal S3 and transmit the third video signal S3 through millimeter waves.

[0050] Among them, the first video signal S1 and the second video signal S2 are generated based on different display areas in the same display picture. Optionally, the processing unit 11 has a VOP (Video Object Plane, Video Object Plane) function, which can cut each object (object) on the picture, compress it separately, and form a picture by many VOPs. Understandably, the shape of the cutting can not be limited to a rectangle, but can be any shape. For example, in the same scene, several pictures will use the same background, only with a slight movement (for example, the picture slowly moves to the right), the background is cut out, the backgrounds of several pictures are connected, and a compression is performed, without compressing each picture once, which can save the bit rate.

[0051] Taking the monitoring host 10 as an example, the monitoring host 10 obtains monitoring data through an external monitoring sensor (such as a thermometer, a sphygmomanometer, an electrocardiograph, a respirator, and an oximeter), and displays the monitoring data based on a preset layout. The display content is more, and the display content not only includes text, but also can include images. However, for actual application, part of the monitoring data needs to be displayed on the display screen (the display unit 12) of the monitoring host 10, and another part of the data needs to be displayed through an external display device, that is, the display unit 12 and the external display device are displayed on the same screen.

[0052] In an embodiment, if the processing unit 11 and the millimeter wave transmitting module have a matching interface, the processing unit 11 and the first millimeter wave transmitting module can be directly connected, and the first millimeter wave transmitting module transmits the second video signal S2 through millimeter waves.

[0053] In another embodiment, if the processing unit 11 and the millimeter wave transmitting module do not have a matching interface, video signal conversion needs to be performed through the first video conversion unit 13.

[0054] Optionally, the first video signal S1 can be LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling), eDP (Embedded DisplayPort), DP (DisplayPort), HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), MIPI-DSI (MIPIDisplay Serial Interface), etc., and the second video signal S2 can be LVDS, HDMI, MIPI-DSI, etc. In an embodiment, the millimeter wave transmitting module includes an SLVS interface (Vbyone interface / VBO interface), and Vbyone (V-by-one, Video by One) is a digital interface standard specially developed for image transmission, which is a transmission interface standard suitable for panel displays and is also a digital interface standard developed for image transmission. The input and output levels of the signal use LVDS. The signal frequency of the board card is about 1GHz. The Vbyone interface does not match the interface for sending the second video signal S2, so interface conversion is needed.

[0055] Taking HDMI to SLVS as an example, the second video signal S2 is an HDMI signal, the input interface of the first video conversion unit 13 is an HDMI interface, which is used to connect the processing unit 11 to receive the HDMI signal (the second video signal S2), and the output interface of the first video conversion unit 13 is a Vbyone interface, which is used to connect the input interface of the first communication unit 14 (the first millimeter wave transmitting module) to output an SLVS signal, so that the first millimeter wave transmitting module transmits the SLVS signal through millimeter waves.

[0056] Optionally, the first video conversion unit 13 includes an HDMI to Vbyone module. The HDMI to Vbyone module can be an IT6807 conversion chip, and IT6807 is a bridge chip for converting HDMI 2.0 to Vbyone.

[0057] As for the base 20, the base 20 includes a third communication unit 21, a second video conversion unit 22, and a video interface 23. The third communication unit 21 includes a first millimeter wave receiving module (not shown in the figure), and the third communication unit 21 is configured to receive a third video signal S3 transmitted by the monitoring host 10 through millimeter waves; the second video conversion unit 22 is connected to the third communication unit 21, and the second video conversion unit 22 is configured to receive the third video signal S3 and convert the third video signal S3 into a fourth video signal S4; the video interface 23 is connected to the second video conversion unit 22, and the video interface 23 is configured to connect to an external display device to transmit the fourth video signal S4 to the external display device for display.

[0058] In an embodiment, if the processing unit 11 and the millimeter wave transmitting module have a matching interface, the processing unit 11 and the first millimeter wave transmitting module can be directly connected, and the first millimeter wave transmitting module transmits the second video signal S2 through millimeter waves. Accordingly, the third communication unit 21 can receive the second video signal S2 through millimeter waves, and then directly transmit the second video signal S2 to the external display device through the video interface 23 for display.

[0059] In another embodiment, if the processing unit 11 and the millimeter wave transmitting module do not have a matching interface, the video signal needs to be converted through the first video conversion unit 13. Accordingly, the third communication unit 21 can receive the third video signal S3 through millimeter waves, and the third video signal S3 also needs to be converted into the fourth video signal S4, and then transmitted to the external display device through the video interface 23 for display.

[0060] Taking the HDMI to SLVS conversion of the first video conversion unit 13 of the monitoring host 10 as an example, accordingly, the third video signal S3 is an SLVS signal, and the second video conversion unit 22 in the base 20 needs to convert the SLVS signal into an HDMI signal, that is, the fourth video signal S4 is an HDMI signal. Specifically, the input interface of the second video conversion unit 22 is a Vbyone interface, which is used to connect the output interface of the third communication unit 21 (the first millimeter wave receiving module), and the output interface of the second video conversion unit 22 is an HDMI interface, and the video interface 23 is also an HDMI interface. The second video conversion unit 22 converts the SLVS signal into an HDMI signal and transmits it to the external display device through the HDMI interface for display.

[0061] Optionally, the second video conversion unit 22 includes a Vbyone to HDMI module. The Vbyone to HDMI module can be an IT6807 conversion chip, and the IT6807 is a bridge chip for converting HDMI 2.0 to Vbyone.

[0062] It is worth noting that the HDMI interface and the Vbyone interface described above are only examples based on an embodiment, and in other embodiments, the specific interface type or the conversion mode of the video signal can be adjusted according to the output interface type of the processing unit 11, the interface type of the first millimeter wave transmitting module, the interface type of the first millimeter wave receiving module, and the interface type of the video interface 23.

[0063] The monitoring host provided by the embodiment comprises: a processing unit configured to output a first video signal and a second video signal for displaying the same picture; a display unit connected to the processing unit, the display unit being configured to receive the first video signal for display; a first video conversion unit connected to the processing unit, the first video conversion unit being configured to receive the second video signal and convert the second video signal into a third video signal; and a first communication unit connected to the first video conversion unit, the first communication unit comprising a first millimeter wave transmitting module, the first communication unit being configured to receive the third video signal and transmit the third video signal through millimeter waves. The monitoring host is configured to be placed on a base, and the base comprises a video interface, the base being configured to receive the third video signal through millimeter waves and transmit the third video signal to an external display device through the video interface for display by the external display device.

[0064] The base provided by the embodiment comprises: a third communication unit comprising a first millimeter wave receiving module, the third communication unit being configured to receive the third video signal transmitted by the monitoring host through millimeter waves; a second video conversion unit connected to the third communication unit, the second video conversion unit being configured to receive the third video signal and convert the third video signal into a fourth video signal; and a video interface connected to the second video conversion unit, the video interface being configured to connect to an external display device to transmit the fourth video signal to the external display device for display by the external display device.

[0065] In the above manner, the interaction of video data between the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 is mainly realized through millimeter wave technology. On the one hand, the transmission of the video signal is realized through millimeter wave wireless technology, which solves the problems of dustproof, waterproof and anti-vibration of the device compared with exposed interfaces such as spring pins. On the second hand, the transmission rate of millimeter wave wireless transmission technology can reach 6.25Gbps, which can realize short-distance lossless transmission of video signals compared with WIFI and other wireless technologies, and there will be no problems such as video lag and frame drop. On the third hand, the wideband frequency band used by millimeter wave wireless technology is 60GHZ, which avoids channel congestion and external wireless communication interference.

[0066] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the monitoring host / base provided by the present application. The discrete monitor 100 comprises a monitoring host 10 and a base 20, and the monitoring host 10 can be placed on the base 20.

[0067] For the monitoring host 10, the monitoring host 10 comprises a processing unit 11, a display unit 12, a first video conversion unit 13, a first communication unit 14, a first communication conversion unit 15 and a second communication unit 16.

[0068] For the base 20, the base 20 comprises a third communication unit 21, a second video conversion unit 22, a video interface 23, a fourth communication unit 24, a second communication conversion unit 25 and a communication interface 26. Among them, the third communication unit 21 comprises a first millimeter wave receiving module (not shown in the figure), and the third communication unit 21 is configured to receive the third video signal S3 sent by the monitoring host 10 through millimeter wave; the second video conversion unit 22 is connected to the third communication unit 21, and the second video conversion unit 22 is configured to receive the third video signal S3 and convert the third video signal S3 into the fourth video signal S4; the video interface 23 is connected to the second video conversion unit 22, and the video interface 23 is configured to connect an external display device to transmit the fourth video signal S4 to the external display device for display.

[0069] It can be understood that compared with the first embodiment, the communication link between the monitoring host 10 and the base 20 is increased in this embodiment. In some application scenarios, in addition to the interaction of video data between the monitoring host 10 and the base 20, communication interaction such as control instructions, monitoring data, voice information and the like may also be required.

[0070] In an embodiment, if the processing unit 11 and the second communication unit 16 have matching interfaces, the processing unit 11 and the second communication unit 16 can be directly connected, and the second communication unit 16 wirelessly transmits the first communication signal T1. Correspondingly, the fourth communication unit 24 can wirelessly receive the first communication signal T1, and then directly transmit to the external device through the communication interface 26.

[0071] In another embodiment, if the processing unit 11 and the second communication unit 16 do not have matching interfaces, the conversion of the communication signal is required through the first communication conversion unit 15 to convert the first communication signal T1 into the second communication signal T2, and the second communication unit 16 wirelessly transmits the second communication signal T2. Correspondingly, the fourth communication unit 24 can wirelessly receive the second communication signal T2, and then convert the second communication signal T2 into the third communication signal T3 through the second communication conversion unit 25, and then transmit to the external device through the communication interface 26.
