[0024] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the communication between two elements, or it can be wireless connection, or it can be wired connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.
[0026] At present, the ink screen table card mainly has two display data issuing modes, namely, using Bluetooth issuing and using WIFI issuing. Both have advantages and disadvantages, which are as follows:
[0027] (1) The data issuing speed of the Bluetooth ink screen table card is limited by the bandwidth of Bluetooth (1MHz or 2MHz), and the picture issuing speed is slow. Due to the characteristics of Bluetooth, a large number of simultaneous connections cannot be performed, so only one table card can be refreshed at a time;
[0028] (2) Bluetooth cannot be used remotely, but can only be used in close range, so it cannot meet the requirements of network remote operation. If this requirement is to be met, a Bluetooth gateway needs to be used in combination.
[0029] (3) Due to the WIFI characteristics, it has always been impossible to achieve low power consumption, and the electronic ink screen table card requires working time to be more than 1 year, and the general WIFI module cannot meet this requirement. The table card equipped with the general WIFI module cannot also meet the requirement.
[0030] (4) WIFI ink screen table card, the network configuration method is complex, the table card needs to work in AP mode first, the mobile phone searches and connects to the WIFI of the table card, and then the WIFI of the router to be connected by the table card is configured to the table card. The table card restarts and switches to the station mode to connect to the router WIFI. This greatly increases the difficulty of use and reduces the experience of users and the speed is extremely slow. Only one by one can be operated in sequence. If there are 100 tables, how much time does it take?
[0031] At present, the WIFI ink screen electronic table card due to the above (2) reasons, also wants to be able to maintain long endurance, all adopt intermittent working mode for WIFI module, that is, open networking update every interval, then close, then interval, open again. This seems to reduce power consumption, but it loses real-time. That is, the table card must wait for the time to update the content, and the table card can only update after networking. The length of this time will also affect the power consumption, so this way is very chicken ribs and cannot meet the real-time updating needs of customers.
[0032] Based on this, an ink screen table card is provided in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The ink screen table card comprises a main control module, an NFC module, a display screen and a power supply.

[0033] Specifically, the NFC module is used to generate an interrupt signal when receiving network configuration information. The main control module is used to read the network configuration information and connect to the network when receiving the interrupt signal. The main control module is also used to receive display information sent by a server and send the display information to the display screen.
[0034] Specifically, the specific way of NFC network configuration is to set network configuration information on a mobile terminal with NFC function. When the mobile terminal is pasted to the NFC indication position of the table card, the NFC module can recognize the network configuration information and immediately generate an interrupt signal. The main control module reads the network configuration information and connects to the network after receiving the interrupt signal. After the main control module receives the interrupt signal, the table card will automatically restart and connect to the configured network.
[0035] Optionally, the NFC module configuration information includes: the name and password of the network, the number of the table card, the user ID and other information.
[0036] Optionally, the master module adopts a wireless communication mode based on a TCP protocol to establish a connection with the server. The wireless communication mode is WIFI.
[0037] Optionally, the master module is further configured to detect the power of the power supply and control the start or stop of the power supply. The master module is internally provided with a power management unit capable of charge detection and power detection, which can detect the charging state and the battery power and report the same to the server for display through an APP. At the same time, the power of the ink screen is turned off at the end of the screen brushing to reduce power consumption. The power detection function can also be separately provided with a charging chip, which will not be described here.
[0038] Specifically, after the master module is connected to the network, the server sends display information to the master module, and the master module controls the display screen to display the corresponding display content, thereby realizing the support of remote picture issuing and not being limited to the site.
[0039] In some optional embodiments, the master module comprises a master chip and a filter circuit, wherein the master chip is connected with the NFC module, the display screen, the power supply and the antenna matching circuit; the antenna matching circuit is connected with the server through a wireless communication mode.

When the server has data to issue, the response time is <1s, which is very suitable for low-power table card requirements.
[0041] Specifically, Figure 2 The antenna matching circuit is composed of inductors L1 and L2, and capacitors C8, C9 and C10.
[0042] Specifically, Figure 2 The master chip has the following functions as shown in
[0043] 1. The master chip has network communication function and can be connected with a TCP network server. The server can issue pictures to be displayed by the table card; 2.

The master chip has the function of controlling the ink screen to display pictures, which can drive the ink screen to display pictures.
[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the NFC module comprises: an NFC chip, which communicates with the master module through an IIC protocol. Optionally, the model of the NFC chip is FM11NT082DI.
[0045] Specifically, the user information such as WIFI name and WIFI password is configured through NFC, which is convenient and fast.

The chip supports reading and writing, and the mobile phone can conveniently read and write internal data. After the mobile phone writes the network configuration information into the NFC chip, the chip immediately triggers the DA16200 to read the data and save the data. The DA16200 immediately configures the network with the information, without waiting for the network connection to be successful, and directly configures the next device.
[0046] Figure 3 When the mobile phone NFC is close to the ink screen table card, the GPIOC6_NFC_IRQ generates an interrupt signal, reminding the master to read the NFC information. The GPIOA0_I2C_SDA and the GPIOA1_I2C_SCL are signal lines responsible for IIC communication with the master chip. The master chip obtains the configured NFC information through IIC or writes the information of the ink screen table card into the NFC chip for the mobile phone to read. The GPIOC7_NFC_CS is a chip selection signal for IIC communication. The master chip needs to enable the chip selection signal before IIC communication with the NFC chip.
