[0047] Embodiment one

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, the first aspect of the present application provides a control assembly 1, comprising an integrated module 11 and a control module 12; the integrated module 11 comprises a monitoring module 111 and a register module 112 connected to each other, the monitoring module 111 is used to monitor the target signal on the signal transmission path 2, and the register module 112 is used to generate state information corresponding to the target signal; the control module 12 is in communication connection with the integrated module 11, so as to read the state information generated by the register module 112, and control the opening state of the electronic device 3 according to the state information.

[0049] Specifically, the control assembly 1 provided in the application can generate state information capable of being read by the control module 12 by monitoring the target signal on the signal transmission path 2, so as to realize the control of the opening state of the electronic device 3. The control of the opening state of the electronic device 3 can include the control of the opening or closing of the backlight of the display module 312 of the electronic device 3, can also include the control of the opening or closing of the speaker of the electronic device 3, can also include the control of the brightness of the backlight of the display module 312 of the electronic device 3, and can also include the control of the volume of the speaker of the electronic device, and the specific limitation is not given.

[0050] The control assembly 1 includes an integrated module 11, and the integrated module 11 includes a monitoring module 111 and a register module 112 connected with each other. The monitoring module 111 can monitor the target signal transmitted on the signal transmission path 2. The target signal can include a video signal, or an audio signal, or both a video signal and an audio signal. According to the different types of target signals, the backlight of the electronic device 3 can be controlled to open or close, the speaker of the electronic device 3 can be controlled to open or close, or both the backlight and the speaker of the electronic device 3 can be controlled to open or close. In an embodiment, the monitoring module 111 can include a PLL (Phase-Locker Loop), an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor 311). The PLL can extract an accurate clock signal from the target signal on the signal transmission path 2. The ADC can sample and convert the target signal into a digital form under the control of the clock signal. The DSP can perform digital signal processing on the digital target signal, so as to guarantee the accurate recovery of data and the integrity of data.

[0051] In an embodiment of the application, the integrated module 11 is a CDR (Clock and Data Recovery) unit in a Retimer IC (re-timer integrated circuit) at the mainboard end of the electronic device 3. When the signal transmission path 2 transmits, the corresponding target signal including a clock signal and a data signal can be generated in the CDR unit. In addition to the monitoring module 111 including a PLL, an ADC, a DSP and the like, the CDR unit can further include a PLLControl (phase-locked loop control unit) capable of managing and dynamically adjusting the PLL, and can further include a SERDES (Serializer / Deserializer) capable of converting parallel data into a high-speed serial data stream and converting the high-speed serial data stream back into parallel data, so as to simplify the wiring.

[0052] When the target signal in the signal transmission path 2 is monitored and acquired by the monitoring module 111, the monitoring module 111 sends the acquired monitoring result to the register module 112. The register module 112 is usually provided with a plurality of binary bits. When the target signal is a video signal, any one of the plurality of binary bits of the register module 112 can be taken to generate state information for representing whether the video signal exists; when the target signal is an audio signal, any one of the plurality of binary bits of the register module 112 can be taken to generate state information for representing whether the audio signal exists; when the target signal is a video signal and an audio signal, any one or both of the plurality of binary bits of the register module 112 can be taken to generate state information for representing whether the video signal and the audio signal exist, which is not limited.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the integrated module 11 is a CDR unit, and the register module 112 is a Signal Detector Register (signal detection register) provided in the CDR unit to generate state information representing the existence of the target signal in the signal transmission path 2. For example, the Signal Detector Register is an 8-bit register, and any one binary bit is taken to generate state information corresponding to the video signal. When the taken binary bit is 1, it represents that the video signal exists, and when the taken binary bit is 0, it represents that the video signal does not exist. When the target signal includes an audio signal or simultaneously includes a video signal and an audio signal, the above is the same.

[0054] The present application is provided with a control module 12 to realize the control of the opening state of the electronic device 3. The control module 12 is in communication connection with the integrated module 11 to read the state information generated by the register module 112. The control module 12 can be an EC (Embedded Controller, embedded controller), an MCU (Microcontroller Unit, microcontroller unit), etc., which is not limited, and can realize the control of the opening state of the electronic device 3 according to the state information. The register module 112 and the control module 12 can use a high-speed and low-delay communication interface, such as an I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus) interface, an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface, Serial Peripheral Interface) interface, etc., to realize communication connection, which is not limited.

[0055] The first aspect of the present application provides a control assembly 1, comprising an integrated module 11 and a control module 12; the integrated module 11 comprises a monitoring module 111 and a register module 112 connected to each other, the monitoring module 111 is used for monitoring a target signal on a signal transmission path 2, and the register module 112 is used for generating state information corresponding to the target signal; the control module 12 is in communication connection with the integrated module 11, so as to read the state information generated by the register module 112, and control the opening state of an electronic device 3 according to the state information. The present application realizes dynamic adjustment of the opening state of the electronic device 3 through the signal transmission path 2 without using a Scaler (a graphic scaler), thereby reducing user configuration cost, simplifying design and reducing use power consumption.

[0056] In some embodiments, the target signal comprises a video signal and / or an audio signal.

[0057] Specifically, the target signal in the present application can comprise a video signal, or comprise an audio signal, or comprise both a video signal and an audio signal, so that the control assembly 1 in the present application can realize multi-modal monitoring of the signal transmission path 2 through the setting of the integrated module 11 and the control module 12. And the present application does not use a Scaler (a graphic scaler) to realize reduction of user configuration cost, simplification of design and reduction of use power consumption, through the monitoring module 111 monitoring the video signal and / or the audio signal on the signal transmission path 2, and the register module 112 being used for generating state information corresponding to the video signal and / or the audio signal, so as to represent the existence of the video signal, or the existence of the audio signal, or the simultaneous existence of the video signal and the audio signal through the state information, so as to control the opening or closing of the backlight of the display module 312 of the electronic device 3, and the condition of the brightness of the backlight, or the opening or closing of the loudspeaker, and the adjustment of the playing volume of the loudspeaker, which are not limited in particular.

[0058] In some embodiments, the register module 112 comprises a first state bit corresponding to the video signal and / or a second state bit corresponding to the audio signal, and the state information comprises first information corresponding to the first state bit and / or second information corresponding to the second state bit.

[0059] Specifically, the present application sets the first state bit corresponding to the video signal and the second state bit corresponding to the audio signal for the register module 112, respectively records different types of state information, and the first state bit and the second state bit can be respectively one binary bit in the register module 112, so that the first information or the second information corresponding to the first state bit or the second state bit can be simply and efficiently read by the control module 12, the response time is shortened, and the user experience is improved.

[0060] For example, when the target signal includes video signals but not audio signals, for an 8-bit register, any binary bit can be taken as the first status bit. At this time, when the first information of the corresponding first status bit is 1, it indicates that the video signal exists; when the first information is 0, it indicates that the video signal does not exist. Alternatively, when the first information is 0, it indicates that the video signal exists; when the first information is 1, it indicates that the video signal does not exist. The specific meaning is not limited.

[0061] For example, when the target signal includes audio signals but not video signals, for an 8-bit register, any binary bit can be taken as the second status bit. At this time, when the second information of the corresponding second status bit is 1, it indicates that the audio signal exists; when the second information is 0, it indicates that the audio signal does not exist. Alternatively, when the second information is 0, it indicates that the audio signal exists; when the second information is 1, it indicates that the audio signal does not exist. The specific meaning is not limited.

[0062] For example, when the target signal includes both video and audio signals, for an 8-bit register, any two binary bits can be selected as the first and second status bits. In this case, a first information bit of 1 and a second information bit of 1 indicate that both video and audio signals are present; a first information bit of 1 and a second information bit of 0 indicate that the video signal is present but the audio signal is absent; a first information bit of 0 and a second information bit of 1 indicate that the video signal is absent but the audio signal is present; and a first information bit of 0 and a second information bit of 0 indicate that neither video nor audio signals are present. Similarly, the representation information of the 0 and 1 bits of the first and second status bits can be changed, as long as it clearly indicates the presence of the target signal.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a parsing module 13, which is communicatively connected to the integrated module 11. The parsing module 13 is used to parse the target signal on the signal transmission path 2 and send a quality signal. The monitoring module 111 is also used to monitor the quality signal. The register module 112 is also used to generate quality information corresponding to the quality signal. The quality information represents the signal quality of the video signal and / or audio signal.

[0064] Specifically, in order to improve the user experience, the control component 1 in the application controls the register to generate state information for the control module 12 to control while monitoring the target signal through the monitoring module 111, and is also provided with an analysis module 13. The analysis module 13 analyzes the target signal on the signal transmission path 2 and sends a quality signal, the monitoring module 111 monitors the quality signal and generates corresponding quality information representing the signal quality of the video signal and / or audio signal through the register module 112. The signal quality representing the video signal and / or audio signal can be one or a combination of the bit error rate, jitter, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. representing the video signal and / or audio signal, so that the electronic device 3 can output high-quality video and / or audio under the condition of good signal quality, and when the signal quality is poor, the corresponding video backlight brightness and / or audio output volume can be appropriately reduced to reduce power consumption while ensuring user experience.

[0065] The corresponding quality information represents the signal quality of one or a combination of the bit error rate, jitter, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. representing the video signal and / or audio signal. In the application, the analysis module 13 can be set to one or integrated with BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester), JA (Jitter Analyzer), SNR Analyzer (Signal-to-Noise Ratio Analyzer), etc. according to the required signal quality representation. The specific implementation is not limited.

[0066] In some embodiments, the register module 112 includes a third state bit corresponding to the quality signal, and the quality information includes third information corresponding to the third state bit.

[0067] Specifically, in order to clearly represent the signal quality of the video signal and / or audio signal, the application sets the register module 112 with a third state bit corresponding to the quality signal. The third state bit is a corresponding binary bit in the register module 112, so that the third information corresponding to the third state can be simply and efficiently read by the control module 12, the response time is shortened, and the user experience is improved.

[0068] For example, for an 8-bit register, any binary bit is taken as the third state bit, when the first information is 1, the second information is 0, and the third information is 1, it represents that the video signal exists and the signal quality is good; when the first information is 1, the second information is 0, and the third information is 0, it represents that the video signal exists and the signal quality is poor; when the first information is 0, the second information is 1, and the third information is 1, it represents that the audio signal exists and the signal quality is good; when the first information is 0, the second information is 1, and the third information is 0, it represents that the audio signal exists and the signal quality is poor; when the first information is 1, the second information is 1, and the third information is 1, it represents that the video signal and the audio signal both exist and the signal quality is good; when the first information is 1, the second information is 1, and the third information is 1, it represents that the video signal and the audio signal both exist and the signal quality is good; when the first information is 1, the second information is 1, and the third information is 0, it represents that the video signal and the audio signal both exist and the signal quality is poor. For distinguishing the video signal quality, the audio signal quality, or the video signal and the audio signal quality, adjustment test can be performed on the external device 4 to verify, or the video signal analysis module 13 and the audio signal analysis module 13 can be set, and the third state bit occupies two binary bits, and the corresponding information is represented, which is not limited.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the case that the target signal includes a video signal, the control module 12 includes a backlight control unit in communication connection with the register module 112, the backlight control unit reads the state information corresponding to the video signal generated by the register module 112, or the state information and the quality information, and controls the opening and closing state of the backlight of the electronic device 3 according to the state information, or the state information and the quality information; and / or, in the case that the target signal includes an audio signal, the control module 12 includes a speaker control unit in communication connection with the register module 112, the speaker control unit reads the state information corresponding to the audio signal generated by the register module 112, or the state information and the quality information, and controls the opening and closing state of the speaker of the electronic device 3 according to the state information, or the state information and the quality information.

[0070] Specifically, in the case that the target signal includes a video signal, the control module 12 sets a backlight control unit to control the opening and closing state of the backlight of the electronic device 3, the backlight control unit can control the backlight of the electronic device 3 to be turned on according to the state information corresponding to the video signal in the case that the state information represents that the video signal exists; and control the backlight of the electronic device 3 to be turned off in the case that the state information represents that the video signal does not exist.

[0071] The backlight control unit can also control the backlight on-off state of the electronic device 3 according to the state information and the quality information at the same time. When the state information indicates that the video signal exists and the signal quality is good, the backlight of the electronic device 3 is turned on. When the state information indicates that the video signal does not exist, the quality information does not exist, and the backlight is turned off at this time. When the state information indicates that the video signal exists, but the signal quality is poor, the displayed video image of the electronic device 3 may have problems such as shaking, distortion, flickering, etc. At this time, the brightness of the backlight in the on state can be appropriately reduced, so that the electronic device 3 displays the poor experience problem video image with low brightness backlight for the user, reduces the power consumption of the electronic device 3, and improves the user's experience.

[0072] In the case where the target signal includes an audio signal, the control module 12 sets a speaker control unit to control the on-off state of the speaker of the electronic device 3. The speaker control unit can control the speaker of the electronic device 3 to turn on according to the state information corresponding to the audio signal when the state information indicates that the audio signal exists. When the state information indicates that the audio signal does not exist, the speaker of the electronic device 3 is turned off.

[0073] The speaker control unit can also control the on-off state of the speaker of the electronic device 3 according to the state information and the quality information at the same time. When the state information indicates that the audio signal exists and the signal quality is good, the speaker of the electronic device 3 is turned on. When the state information indicates that the audio signal does not exist, the quality information does not exist, and the speaker is turned off at this time. When the state information indicates that the audio signal exists, but the signal quality is poor, the audio emitted by the speaker of the electronic device 3 may have problems such as noise, intermittent, distortion, etc. At this time, the volume of the speaker in the on state can be appropriately reduced, so that the electronic device 3 plays the poor experience problem audio with low volume for the user, reduces the power consumption of the electronic device 3, and improves the user's experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, in the case where the target signal includes a video signal, the control module 12 includes a backlight driving unit and a timing unit connected in series. When the video signal is interrupted, the backlight driving unit controls the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 to decrease in steps under the action of the timing unit; and / or when the video signal exists, the backlight driving unit controls the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 to increase in steps under the action of the timing unit.

[0075] Specifically, considering that the visual system of the user is more sensitive to the change of the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3, when the video signal is interrupted, the visual impact caused by the sudden switching of the backlight from the on state to the off state will bring discomfort to the user, or when the video signal exists, the visual impact caused by the sudden switching of the backlight from the off state to the on state will bring discomfort to the user, the control module 12 of the application is provided with a backlight driving unit and a timing unit connected thereto, by setting a predetermined time interval through the timing unit, the backlight driving unit can control the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 to decrease in steps when the video signal is interrupted, or control the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 to increase in steps when the video signal exists, or simultaneously have the above two control logics, which are not limited in particular. And the application controls the backlight brightness to decrease or increase in steps through the backlight driving unit and the timing unit, which is also beneficial to reduce the working burden of the hardware and software of the electronic device 3, improve the service life and working stability.

[0076] The backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 decreases in steps or increases in steps, which can set multiple levels for the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3, such as five levels of backlight brightness levels from one level to five levels. The backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 can be set to gradually decrease from five levels to four levels, four levels to three levels, and finally to one level; the backlight brightness can also be set to decrease from five levels to three levels, and from three levels to one level; the backlight brightness can also be set to decrease from five levels to three levels, and from three levels to one level in steps, and decrease from three levels to one level in steps, so as to shorten the time of decreasing the backlight brightness in steps while making the change range smaller under high backlight brightness, and the visual experience of the user is more comfortable. When the backlight brightness of the electronic device 3 is controlled to increase in steps, the control logic is similar to that of decreasing in steps, which is not limited in particular.
