Description

Technical Field

[0002] In industrial, medical, and service sectors, many devices generate video signals that need to be acquired and transmitted to meet the needs of remote recording. However, there are numerous existing video interfaces, including VGA, HDMI, DVI, and DP. Acquiring video signals from different interfaces using traditional methods requires multiple sets of dedicated encoders for VGA, HDMI, DVI, and DP. If a single video encoder is used, multiple conversion interfaces are needed, such as DVI to HDMI, VGA to HDMI, DP to HDMI, and SDI to HDMI, requiring multiple adapters. Simultaneously, ensuring the original equipment can display the acquired video requires multiple splitters for image duplication, as well as numerous sets of HDMI, VGA, DP, and network cables to guarantee data connectivity. The connections at the device end are complex. Furthermore, power supplies and power strips are needed for multiple encoders, video splitters, and video conversion modules. Therefore, acquiring video signals requires a large amount of equipment and cables, resulting in high costs, complex wiring, and demanding operational skills.

[0003] Traditional video signal acquisition methods suffer from complex structures, excessive size, and high manufacturing costs: Numerous existing video interfaces result in many components required for video content acquisition, increasing manufacturing costs; low utilization and significant interface idleness: Existing video encoders suffer from redundant interface designs, leading to low utilization of some interfaces while others remain idle. They also fail to meet the complex interface requirements of industrial and medical fields: the interface design of existing video encoders may not meet the needs of complex interfaces in industrial and medical fields, and are inconvenient to carry: existing video encoders may have many components, be too large, and inconvenient to carry; furthermore, upgrade costs are too high: when existing video encoders are updated to mainstream interfaces, the cost of upgrading the equipment may be too high. Utility Model Content

To address the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention provides a modular wireless multi-mode acquisition terminal system and acquisition terminal.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a modular wireless multi-mode data acquisition terminal system; such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes an input modular converter 10 and an output modular converter 30, as well as a device body 20 connected to the input and output modular converters. Various external image output devices convert different types of interface signals into HDMI interface signals via the input modular converter and output them to the device body. The device body is responsible for receiving, processing, and encoding information. An internal HDMI splitter transmits one input signal to an HDMI encoder for encoding, and the other signal to the output modular converter. The output modular converter converts the HDMI interface signal into a signal corresponding to the external display device model for display. The HDMI encoder encodes the received signal and transmits it via a network module. The device body powers the input and output modular converters, while an external power supply, stepped down by a transformer, powers the device body and the converters. The modular converters disconnect power through metal contacts at the device body's interface, thus achieving independent power supply and avoiding interference with the device body's functionality.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, when an image output device outputs image information via interfaces such as VGA, DVI, DP, HDMI, and SDI, it connects to a corresponding modular converter at the input end. This modular converter converts the current video interface to a unified HDMI video interface and connects to the device's HDMI interface. Upon successful connection, the converter draws power from the device via metal contacts to drive the conversion chip. The converted video signal and image data are then copied and output as two identical signals via an HDMI splitter module (HDMI 1-to-2 module). One signal (out1) is transmitted to the core video encoder of the HDMI interface, encoded, and then transmitted in real-time via a Wi-Fi module. The other signal (out2) connects to the device's output end, similarly connected to the modular converter at the output end via the HDMI interface, forming a signal path. The modular converter at the output end also draws power from the device to convert the HDMI interface signal, making it consistent with the external input video interface for external display or other uses, enhancing flexibility and usability. Through the design of the modular converter, various video interface signals are uniformly converted to HDMI interface signals, facilitating plug-and-play, flexible configuration, and replacement of different types of conversion modules. Simultaneously, power is drawn from the device's interface via metal contacts, enabling independent power supply for the modular converter and avoiding interference with the device's functionality. The device internally features an HDMI 1-to-2 splitter module for signal splitting, an HDMI core encoder, and a Wi-Fi module for encoding and real-time transmission. It also includes an RJ45 network port and Wi-Fi module for wired and wireless signal transmission, reducing line usage. Simultaneously, the acquired information is split into two signals, ensuring at least one signal is available for external display or other uses, enhancing the device's flexibility and usability. Interface conversion effectiveness testing confirmed that the modular converter can successfully convert various video interface signals (such as VGA, DVI, DP, HDMI, SDI, etc.) to HDMI interface signals and connect smoothly to the device's HDMI interface, and vice versa. The converted video signal and image data are stable and maintain high-quality display without signal loss, interference, or distortion, demonstrating enhanced signal stability. The modular converter's independent power supply design is stable and reliable, ensuring the normal operation of the conversion chip and the device's normal functioning. The internal structure of the device successfully enables parallel signal splitting and encoding. The HDMI core encoder and Wi-Fi module function normally, achieving signal encoding and real-time transmission. The flexibility and usability of the entire system have been verified. The modular design makes the system highly adaptable and suitable for different types of video interfaces and application scenarios.

[0031] Furthermore, the modular converter can be expanded with additional interfaces to support more types of video interfaces, such as digital interfaces (e.g., USB-C) or analog interfaces (e.g., Composite), depending on the needs of different application scenarios. The internal structure of the device can also be enhanced by adding more processing modules, such as color correction and image enhancement, to improve the overall system performance and usability. The power supply design of the modular converter can be further optimized by adopting a more efficient and stable power supply scheme to improve system reliability and stability. It can be used in conference systems, intelligent signage systems, monitoring systems, and many specialized industrial and medical scenarios. It should be noted that in this invention, the input data signal is uniformly converted to an HDMI signal. Since HDMI is currently the most mainstream and widely used video interface, it is chosen as the basic interface to uniformly convert various interface signals into HDMI interface signals for connection to the device. However, it can also be replaced with other unified signal interfaces for data transmission, which should also fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] A preferred embodiment of this utility model is a modular wireless multi-mode data acquisition terminal system; such as... Figure 6 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 1 is only used for single-channel data transmission, while the device body of Embodiment 2 is equipped with multiple sets of input terminals and output terminals, and can be connected to multiple sets of input terminal modular converters and output terminal modular converters for use, thereby realizing multi-channel data transmission.

[0033] It should be understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
