Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of data technology, and in particular to a data processing system, a chip, a camera module, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, electronic devices are able to intelligently analyze the collected image data to enhance the user experience through intelligent interaction with users. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides a data processing system, a chip, a camera module, and an electronic device.

[0004] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a data processing system is provided, the data processing system comprising:

The focus control module can acquire first image data and adjust the lens focal length based on the first image data to reduce the number of connecting lines, thereby reducing the complexity of the data processing system. Since the image sensor can transmit the first image data to both the image compression module and the focus control module, the focus control module and the image compression module can process the first image data simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of the data processing system.

Since the Bluetooth module and the StarFlash module have relatively low power consumption, they can reduce the power consumption during the transmission of the second image data, thus reducing the power consumption of the data transmission system.

[0019] In this embodiment, by transmitting the low-resolution first sub-image data to the neural network processing module, the neural network processing module can perform intelligent analysis based on the first sub-image data to quickly respond to the user, further improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0020] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the processing module further includes a second interface module, through which the neural network processing module is electrically connected to the image sensor.

[0021] In this embodiment, the neural network processing module and the image sensor are electrically connected through the second interface module, which avoids abnormal electrical connections between the neural network processing module and the image sensor due to the large number of lines, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0023] The first wireless transmission module is further configured to transmit the first audio signal collected by the audio transceiver module to the second wireless transmission module, and to transmit the second audio signal wirelessly transmitted by the second wireless transmission module to the audio transceiver module.

[0024] In this embodiment, the audio transceiver module and the electronic device can transmit a first audio signal and a second audio signal through the data processing system, enabling the electronic device to determine the user's needs and problems based on the user's first audio signal and to send a second audio signal to answer the user's questions, thereby improving the functionality of the data processing system.

[0025] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the data processing system further includes:

[0026] A storage module is electrically connected to the processing module and is used to store the data transmitted by the processing module.

[0027] In this embodiment, the data transmitted by the processing module is stored in the storage module. When data needs to be processed, it can be directly retrieved from the storage module to avoid loss, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0028] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the data processing system further includes:

[0029] An exposure control module is provided, which is electrically connected to the image sensor and is used to adjust the exposure parameters of the image sensor based on the first image data.

[0030] In this embodiment, the exposure control module can adjust the exposure parameters of the image sensor according to the first image data to avoid overexposure or underexposure during the acquisition of the first image data, thereby improving the effect of the data processing system.

[0031] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the image compression module is electrically connected to the image sensor through the focus control module and the exposure control module; or, the image compression module, the exposure control module, and the focus control module are each electrically connected to the image sensor.

[0032] In this embodiment, the exposure control module and the focus control module are electrically connected between the image compression module and the image sensor, reducing the complexity of the data processing system. The image compression module, exposure control module, and focus control module are each electrically connected to the image sensor, improving the efficiency of the data processing system.

The image sensor is electrically connected to the first wireless transmission module via the image compression module, and to the lens via the focus control module. Because the focus control module can adjust the lens's focal length based on the first image data acquired by the image sensor, the image sensor acquires clearer image data for accurate image data processing, thereby improving the efficiency of the data processing system. Furthermore, because the image compression module can compress the image data acquired by the image sensor, it reduces the amount of image data transmitted to the second wireless transmission module, thus lowering the power consumption of the data processing system and electronic equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this invention as detailed in the appended claims. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to any or all possible combinations including one or more of the associated listed items.

[0050] With the development of artificial intelligence technology, electronic devices are incorporating AI models that can interact with users based on collected image data. For example, a user takes a picture of a mobile phone using their camera and asks, "What brand and model is this phone?" The electronic device identifies the image data and analyzes it based on the AI ​​model to answer the user's question, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0051] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a data processing system including a processing module. The processing module is electrically connected to an image sensor. The image sensor transmits acquired image data to the processing module. The processing module processes the image data and, based on an artificial intelligence model, outputs relevant information to answer user questions. However, due to varying distances between the lens and different subjects, the image data acquired by the image sensor is blurred due to focal length effects, preventing the data processing system from accurately processing the image data, resulting in poor performance. Moreover, because the image sensor acquires a large amount of image data, the processing module needs to transmit a large amount of image data, leading to increased power consumption of the data processing system.

[0052] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a data processing system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the data processing system includes an image compression module 10, a first wireless transmission module 20, and a focus control module 30. The image compression module 10 is electrically connected to the image sensor 40 and is used to compress the first image data acquired by the image sensor 40 into second image data. The first wireless transmission module 20 is electrically connected to the image compression module 10 and is used to wirelessly transmit the second image data to a second wireless transmission module of the electronic device. The first end of the focus control module 30 is electrically connected to the image sensor 40, and the second end of the focus control module 30 is electrically connected to the lens 50. The focus control module 30 is used to adjust the focal length of the lens 50 based on the first image data.

[0053] In this embodiment, the data processing system includes an image compression module, a first wireless transmission module, and a focus control module. The image sensor is electrically connected to the first wireless transmission module via the image compression module, and to the lens via the focus control module. Because the focus control module can adjust the lens's focal length based on the first image data acquired by the image sensor, the image sensor acquires clearer image data for accurate image data processing, thereby improving the effectiveness of the data processing system. Furthermore, transmitting the compressed image data wirelessly to the second wireless transmission module eliminates the need for an additional connection point, thus improving the versatility of the data processing system. Simultaneously, compressing the image data acquired by the image sensor before transmission avoids the low bandwidth of the first wireless transmission module affecting data transmission speed, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system. In addition, because the image compression module can compress the image data acquired by the image sensor, it reduces the amount of image data transmitted to the second wireless transmission module, thereby reducing the power consumption of the data processing system and the electronic device.

[0054] For example, the focus control module 30 can be electrically connected to the drive mechanism of the lens 50 to adjust the focal length of the lens 50 by controlling the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism can be, for example, a motor.

[0055] For example, the data processing system can be used for intelligent scene recognition. When the resolution requirement for images is low, the compression factor of the image compression module 10 can be increased, which can further reduce the power consumption of the data processing system.

[0056] For example, the number of times the image sensor 40 acquires image data per second can be less than the output frame rate. For instance, if the output frame rate of the image sensor 40 is 30Hz, the number of times the image sensor 40 acquires image data per second can be set to 1. That is, the image sensor 40 acquires image data only once per second and operates for 33ms, remaining in a sleep state for the rest of the time. This reduces the power consumption of the image sensor 40 while ensuring that the transmitted image data does not suffer from motion blur. Furthermore, a smaller battery can be used to power the image sensor 40, thereby reducing the size of the camera module.

[0057] For example, after the second wireless transmission module receives the second image data, the electronic device can decode the second image data and analyze it based on an artificial intelligence model to answer user questions or perform scene recognition and other functions. When the artificial intelligence model cannot recognize the image data, it will upload the decoded second image data to a cloud server, where a large model will be used for intelligent recognition of the image data.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the image compression module 10 is electrically connected to the image sensor 40 through the focus control module 30.

[0059] In this embodiment, the focus control module is electrically connected between the image compression module and the image sensor. The focus control module can acquire the first image data and adjust the focal length of the lens according to the first image data to reduce the number of connecting lines, thereby reducing the complexity of the data processing system.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the image compression module 10 and the focus control module 30 are electrically connected to the image sensor 40, respectively.

[0061] In this embodiment, since the image sensor can transmit the first image data to the image compression module and the focus control module respectively, the focus control module and the image compression module can process the first image data simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of the data processing system.

[0062] In one embodiment, the image compression module 10 compresses the first image data in the RAW domain.

[0063] In this embodiment, since RAW format is the format of the first image data directly output by the image sensor without any processing, the image data volume is large. By compressing the first image data in the RAW domain using the image compression module, the image data volume can be significantly reduced, and image data compression is supported, thereby improving the reliability of the image processing system. Moreover, since no additional image data format conversion is required, the number of modules in the data processing system is reduced, thereby reducing the complexity of the data processing system.

[0064] For example, the image compression module 10 can compress the first image data in the RAW domain based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) approach. In addition, the image compression module 10 can also further compress the first image data in the RAW domain based on the Region of Interest (ROI). That is, the image data of the target region in the image corresponding to the first image data is compressed at a low compression ratio, while the image data of non-target regions is compressed at a high compression ratio. This maximizes the compression ratio while ensuring that key information in the first image data is not lost, thereby reducing the power consumption of the image processing system.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first wireless transmission module includes a Bluetooth module.

[0066] In this embodiment, the Bluetooth module has relatively low power consumption, which reduces power consumption during the transmission of the second image data, thereby reducing the power consumption of the data transmission system. Furthermore, since electronic devices typically include a Bluetooth module as a second wireless transmission module, this avoids the need for an additional second wireless transmission module that matches the first wireless transmission module, thus reducing the size of the electronic device and simplifying its structure.

[0067] For example, because the image sensor 40 collects a large amount of image data, and the Bluetooth module has low bandwidth, it is difficult to transmit such a large amount of data. If the first image data is transmitted directly through the Bluetooth module without compression, not only is the transmission efficiency low, but the power consumption is also high, resulting in poor image data transmission quality. By using the image compression module 10 to compress the first image data collected by the image sensor 40 into second image data, the amount of image data is reduced, enabling the Bluetooth module to transmit the second image data to the electronic device in a timely manner.

[0068] For example, the second wireless transmission module includes a Bluetooth module.

[0069] In one embodiment, the first wireless transmission module 20 includes a star flash module.

[0070] In this embodiment, because the power consumption of the star flash module is relatively low, it can reduce the power consumption during the second image data transmission, thereby reducing the power consumption of the data transmission system. Furthermore, since electronic devices typically include a star flash module as a second wireless transmission module, it avoids the need for an additional second wireless transmission module to match the first wireless transmission module, thus reducing the size of the electronic device and simplifying its structure.

[0071] For example, the second wireless transmission module includes a star flash module.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the data processing system also includes a processing module 60. The first end of the processing module 60 is electrically connected to the image compression module 10, and the second end of the processing module 60 is electrically connected to the first wireless transmission module 20. The processing module 60 is used to transmit the second image data to the first wireless transmission module 20.

[0073] In this embodiment, the second image data is transmitted to the first wireless transmission module through the processing module. This allows for selective processing of the second image data before transmission and selection of the timing of the second image data transmission, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0074] For example, the processing module 60 may include a microcontroller unit (MCU).

[0075] In one embodiment, the processing module 60 includes a first interface module 61. The image compression module 10 is electrically connected to the processing module 60 through the first interface module 61.

[0076] In this embodiment, the image compression module and the processing module are electrically connected through the first interface module, which avoids abnormal electrical connections between the image compression module and the processing module due to the large number of lines, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0077] For example, the first interface module 61 can be a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).

[0078] In one embodiment, the processing module 60 includes a neural network processing module (NPU). The first image data includes first sub-image data and second sub-image data. The image sensor 40 is used to transmit the first sub-image data to the neural network processing module (NPU) and the second sub-image data to the image compression module 10. The resolution of the first sub-image data is lower than the resolution of the second sub-image data.

[0079] In this embodiment, since the image sensor can acquire first and second sub-image data with different resolutions, the power consumption of the data processing system is reduced by compressing the high-resolution second sub-image data before transmitting it to the second wireless transmission module. By transmitting the low-resolution first sub-image data to the neural network processing module, the neural network processing module can perform intelligent analysis based on the first sub-image data to quickly respond to the user, further improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0080] In one embodiment, the processing module 60 further includes a second interface module 62. The neural network processing module NPU is electrically connected to the image sensor 40 through the second interface module 62.

[0081] In this embodiment, the neural network processing module and the image sensor are electrically connected through the second interface module, which avoids abnormal electrical connections between the neural network processing module and the image sensor due to the large number of lines, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0082] For example, the second interface module 62 can be a serial digital interface (SDI).

[0083] In one embodiment, the processing module 60 further includes a third interface module 63. The audio transceiver module 70 is electrically connected to the processing module 60 through the third interface module 63. The first wireless transmission module 20 is also used to transmit a first audio signal collected by the audio transceiver module 70 to a second wireless transmission module, and to transmit a second audio signal wirelessly transmitted by the second wireless transmission module to the audio transceiver module 70.

[0084] In this embodiment, the audio transceiver module and the processing module are electrically connected via a third interface module. This avoids electrical connection abnormalities between the audio transceiver module and the processing module due to numerous lines, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system. Furthermore, the audio transceiver module and the electronic device can transmit a first audio signal and a second audio signal through the data processing system. This allows the electronic device to determine the user's needs and problems based on the first audio signal and to issue a second audio signal to answer the user's questions, thus enhancing the functionality of the data processing system.

[0085] For example, the audio transceiver module 70 may include a microphone and a speaker. The third interface module 63 may be an integrated circuit built-in audio (Inter-IC Sound, I2S) interface.

[0086] For example, the image sensor 40 includes a fourth interface module and a fifth interface module. The image sensor 40 is electrically connected to the image compression module 10 through the fourth interface module, and the image sensor 40 is electrically connected to the neural network processing module NPU through the fifth interface module and the second interface module 62.

[0087] For example, the fourth interface module can be a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) or a Digital Video Port (DVP). The digital video port can be an 8-bit digital video port. The fifth interface module can be a serial digital interface.

[0088] In one embodiment, the data processing system further includes a storage module 80. The storage module 80 is electrically connected to the processing module 60 and is used to store data transmitted by the processing module 60.

[0089] In this embodiment, the data transmitted by the processing module is stored in the storage module. When data needs to be processed, it can be directly retrieved from the storage module to avoid loss, thereby improving the reliability of the data processing system.

[0090] For example, the storage module 80 can be a Secure Digital Card (SD) card or a memory.

[0091] In one embodiment, the data processing system further includes an exposure control module. The exposure control module is electrically connected to the image sensor 40 and is used to adjust the exposure parameters of the image sensor 40 based on the first image data.

[0092] In this embodiment, the exposure control module can adjust the exposure parameters of the image sensor according to the first image data to avoid overexposure or underexposure during the acquisition of the first image data, thereby improving the effect of the data processing system.

[0093] For example, the exposure control module can determine the exposure parameters of the image sensor 40 based on the first image data and transmit the exposure parameters to the image sensor 40. The exposure parameters may include parameters such as exposure time and sensitivity.

[0094] For example, the exposure control module can be electrically connected to the image sensor 40 via an Inter-Integrated Circuit (IIC) interface.

[0095] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the image compression module 10 is electrically connected to the image sensor 40 through the focus control module 30 and the exposure control module 90.

[0096] In this embodiment, the exposure control module and the focus control module are electrically connected between the image compression module and the image sensor. The focus control module can acquire the first image data and adjust the focal length of the lens according to the first image data. The exposure control module can acquire the first image data and adjust the exposure parameters of the image sensor according to the first image data to reduce the number of connecting lines, thereby reducing the complexity of the data processing system.

[0097] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the image compression module 10, the exposure control module 90, and the focus control module 30 are electrically connected to the image sensor 40.

[0098] In this embodiment, since the image sensor can transmit the first image data to the exposure control module, the image compression module, and the focus control module respectively, the exposure control module, the focus control module, and the image compression module can process the first image data simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of the data processing system.

[0099] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a data processing system, such as Figure 6As shown, the data processing system includes a RAW domain compression module 11, a Bluetooth module 21, a focus control module 30, a microcontroller unit (MCU), a serial peripheral interface (SPI), a neural network processing module (NPU), a serial digital interface (SDI), a microphone (MIC), a speaker (SPK), an audio interface (I2S), a secure digital storage card (SD), and an exposure control module 90. The 8-bit digital video interface (DVP / 8) and integrated circuit bus interface (IIC) of the image sensor 40 are electrically connected to the exposure control module 90. The exposure control module 90 is electrically connected to the focus control module 30. The focus control module 30 is electrically connected to both the RAW domain compression module 11 and the lens 50. The RAW domain compression module 11 is electrically connected to the microcontroller unit (MCU) via the serial peripheral interface (SPI). The serial digital interface (SDI) of the image sensor 40 is electrically connected to the neural network processing module (NPU) via the serial digital interface (SDI) of the microcontroller unit (MCU). The microcontroller unit (MCU) is electrically connected to the microphone (MIC) and the speaker (SPK) via the audio interface (I2S). The microcontroller unit (MCU) is also electrically connected to the Bluetooth module 21 and the secure digital storage card (SD). The image sensor 40 can also be electrically connected to the exposure control module 90 via a mobile industrial processor interface.

[0100] For example, when a user asks a question and an image is captured by the image sensor 40, the microphone (MIC) transmits a first audio signal to the second wireless transmission module via the audio interface I2S, the microcontroller unit (MCU), and the Bluetooth module 21. The image sensor 40 transmits the captured first image data to the exposure control module 90, the focus control module 30, and the RAW domain compression module 11. The exposure control module 90 determines the exposure parameters and transmits them to the image sensor 40. The focus control module 30 determines the focal length and transmits it to the lens 50. The RAW domain compression module 11 compresses the first image data into second image data and transmits it to the second wireless transmission module via the Bluetooth module 21. The electronic device analyzes the second image data and the first audio signal to determine a second audio signal to answer the question. The second wireless transmission module transmits the second audio signal to the Bluetooth module 21 and plays it through the speaker (SPK) to answer the user's question.

[0101] In one exemplary embodiment, a data processing chip is provided, which includes the data processing system described above.

[0102] In this embodiment, the data processing system is integrated into a data processing chip, which is small in size and easy to configure.

[0103] In one exemplary embodiment, a camera module is provided, the camera module including the data processing chip shown in the figure.

[0104] In this embodiment, by placing the data processing chip in the camera module, the camera module can acquire clearer image data for accurate image data processing, thereby improving the performance of the camera module.

[0105] For example, the camera module also includes an image sensor 40 and a lens 50.

[0106] For example, the camera module can be integrated into wearable devices such as headphones and smart glasses. When integrated into headphones, the camera module captures a first audio signal and plays a second audio signal through the headphones, which can be wired or wireless headphones. When integrated into smart glasses, in addition to capturing and playing audio signals through the microphone (MIC) and speaker (SPK), the camera module can also display information corresponding to the second audio signal on the lenses. The camera module can be located at the hinge of the temple of the smart glasses. Due to the small size of the camera module, the balance of the smart glasses is relatively stable.

[0107] In one exemplary embodiment, an electronic device is provided, which includes a camera module as described above. The electronic device may be, for example, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, or a wearable device.

[0109] Processing component 402 typically controls the overall operation of electronic device 400, such as operations associated with display, telephone calls, data communication, camera operation, and recording. Processing component 402 may include one or more processors 420 to execute instructions to perform all or part of the steps of the methods described above. Furthermore, processing component 402 may include one or more modules to facilitate interaction between processing component 402 and other components.
