In one embodiment, as shown in
The type of the external network connected to the upper computer 130 is not unique, which may be one or both of the external wired network and the external wireless network. The upper computer 130 serves as a router to connect the external network and the internal devices of the equipment, and the upper computer 130 transmits the network signal to the processing device 120 through the network transmission device 140, so that the processing device 120 is connected to a network for communication.
Furthermore, in one embodiment, as shown in
Concretely, the signal transmission device 110 may be communicated with a terminal such as a mobile phone and a notebook computer to receive the screen transmission signal transmitted by the terminal, wherein the signal transmission device 110 and the terminal may be connected by wireless communication or wired communication. When a user needs to perform a screen transmission operation, after the terminal is connected to the signal transmission device 110, the screen transmission signal is transmitted to the signal transmission device 110 by the terminal, and the signal transmission device 110 forwards the received screen transmission signal to the processing device 120. The processing device 120 decodes the received screen transmission signal to obtain screen transmission data, and forwards the screen transmission data to the upper computer 130 for screen transmission display of multimedia information. The type of screen transmission data is not unique, which may include only video data, or may include both audio data and video data. After the upper computer 130 acquires the screen transmission data, the screen transmission data may be used by the internal software/services of the upper computer 130, for example, the internal software/service generates a video screen according to the screen transmission data and displays it on the display of the upper computer 130, and controls the speaker of the upper computer 130 for audio playback. In addition, the upper computer 130 can also forward the screen transmission data to an external device, so that the external device can perform screen transmission display of multimedia information. The external device may concretely be a television, a set-top box, or the like. The concrete type of the upper computer 130 is also not unique, which may be a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet computer, a touch computer, and the like. In this embodiment, the upper computer 130 is a PC.
In this embodiment, the processing device 120 processes the screen transmission signal received by the signal transmission device 110 to obtain the screen transmission data, and transmits the screen transmission data to the upper computer 130. The upper computer 130 is connected to the external network and transmits the network signal to the processing device 120 through the network transmission device 140, and the upper computer 130 is used to connect the external network and the internal device of the equipment to provide the network signal for the processing device 120, thereby realizing the communication between the processing device 120 and the external network. The screen transmission data and the network signal are transmitted through different paths, so as to carry out screen transmission communication in the equipment and network sharing, respectively. In addition, the processing device 120 may also output the network signal through the signal transmission device 110, so that the external terminal can connect to the network. By taking an example of the signal transmission device 110 being connected to the terminal through wireless communication, the processing device 120 provides a wireless network to the terminal through the signal transmission device 110, so that the operator can connect the terminal to the network for data communication.
The above-mentioned integrated intelligent interaction machine uses the upper computer 130 to connect the external network and the internal device of the equipment, so as to provide the network signal for the processing device 120, thereby realizing the communication between the processing device 120 and the external network and simultaneous sharing of the network among different devices in the equipment, which improves the data transmission convenience of the integrated intelligent interaction machine.
In one embodiment, the signal transmission device 110 is a wireless transmission device. The wireless transmission device receives a wireless screen transmission signal through an external antenna and transmits it to the processing device 120, and the processing device 120 decodes the wireless screen transmission signal to obtain the screen transmission data and forwards the screen transmission data to the upper computer 130. The screen transmission of multimedia information is performed wirelessly, which is not limited by the data line, so the operation is simple and fast. Concretely, the signal transmission device 110 may be a WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) device, a Bluetooth device, an infrared device, etc., and in this embodiment, the signal transmission device 110 is a WIFI device with a long signal transmission distance and high reliability.
The concrete structure of the processing device 120 is not unique. In one embodiment, as shown in
The type of the first network card 124 is not unique. In this embodiment, the first network card 124 is a USB network card, and concretely, an RTL8152 chip may be used. Thereinto, the first network card 124 is connected to the processor 122 through an RJ45 interface, and is connected to the upper computer 130 through a USB interface. The processor 122 and the upper computer 130 are connected through a USB network card, which facilitates data transmission and improves the reliability.
According to the different types of the external network connected to the upper computer 130, the ways in which the upper computer 130 accesses to the external network and transmits the network signal via the network transmission device 140 are also different. In one embodiment, the external network includes an external wired network. Hereinafter as shown in
Concretely, the switcher unit 134 is connected to the first network card 124 through a USB interface, receives the screen transmission data transmitted by the processor 122 through the first network card 124, and performs screen transmission processing of multimedia information. After accessing the wired network signal from the external wired network through the wired network interface 132, the switcher unit 134 outputs the network signal to the processor 122 in the processing device 120 via the network transmission device 140, so that the upper computer 130 and the processor 122 can be connected to the wired network, thereby realizing the internal screen transmission communication of the integrated intelligent interaction machine and wired network sharing, which improves the data transmission convenience of the integrated intelligent interaction machine.
Furthermore, in one embodiment, the external network also includes an external wireless network. The upper computer 130 also includes a wireless network unit 136 connected to the switcher unit 134, wherein the switcher unit 134 is also connected to the external wireless network through the wireless network unit 136. The switcher unit 134 outputs the network signal to the network transmission device 140 according to the accessed external wired network and/or accessed external wireless network.
The switcher unit 134 serves as a soft router to access the external wireless network signal through the wireless network unit 136, so that the processor 122 can be connected to the wireless network for communication. In this embodiment, the upper computer 130 provides wired network and wireless network access simultaneously, and shares the network through both the wired path and the wireless path. The operator can choose the network connection of the integrated intelligent interaction machine according to actual needs, which further improves the data transmission convenience of the integrated intelligent interaction machine. It can be understood that, in another embodiments, the upper computer 130 may also include only the switcher unit 134 and the wireless network unit 136, and access to the external wireless network through the wireless network unit 136 for the processor 122 to connect to the network.
Correspondingly, in one embodiment, as shown in
The type of the second network card 144 is also not unique. In this embodiment, the second network card 144 is a USB network card, and concretely, an RTL8152 chip or an RTL8153 chip may be used. Thereinto, the second network card 144 is connected to the switcher 142 through an RJ45 interface, and is connected to the processor 122 through a USB interface.
In addition, in one embodiment, the network transmission device 140 further includes a wired network control switch 146, which is connected to the switcher 142 and the processing device 120, specifically to the processor 122 of the processing device 120.
The processor 122 is also used to output a control signal to the wired network control switch 146, and the wired network control switch 146, according to the control signal, controls the on/off of the network signal accessed from the external wired network in the switcher 142. For example, when the upper computer 130 is simultaneously connected to the external wired network and the external wireless network, if the network signal is accessed from the external wireless network, the wired network control switch 146 can control the switcher 142 to prevent it from transmitting the network signal accessed from the external wired network to the processor 122, so that the processor 122 can only receive the signal accessed from the external wireless network, which avoids interference caused by the processor 122 simultaneously accessing signals from two different external networks, thereby improving network connection reliability. When no network signal is accessed from the external wireless network, the wired network control switch 146 can control the switch 142 to transmit the network signal accessed from the external wired network to the processor 122. In addition, the wired network control switch 146 can also control the on/off of the network signal accessed from the external wired network according to a received external switching command. According to the different types of the external wired network, the types of the wired network interface 132 and the wired network control switch 146 are also different. In this embodiment, the wired network interface 132 is an Ethernet interface, and the wired network control switch 146 is an Ethernet control switch. The Ethernet interface is connected to the external Ethernet to access the network signal, and the Ethernet control switch control the on/off of the network signal accessed by the switcher 142 from the external Ethernet.

A path L2 represents wired network sharing. The external wired network is accessed from the wired network interface 132, and transmits along the path L2, and concretely via the switcher unit 134, the switcher 142, the second network card 144 and the processor 122. It can be seen that both the upper computer 130 and the processor 122 can obtain the wired network signal. A path L3 represents wireless network sharing. The external wireless network is accessed from the wireless network unit 136, and transmits along the path L3, and concretely via the switcher unit 134, the switcher 142, the second network card 144 and the processor 122.
