Abstract

The plug-in television provided by this invention integrates the master control module of the television into a plug card and separately configures the plug card and the display, and the display is mainly used to play and control the audio and video data, and the plug card is mainly used to receive and process the audio and video data; since the plug card and the display are separately configured in physical structure, it allows users to carry out the operations like repairing, maintenance, upgrading and replacement on them separately; moreover, since the display is the main structure of the television, and the plug card is plugged into the slot provided on the display to form the television, the problem in the current television field that the upgrading speed of the screen terminal device is exceedingly unmatched with the upgrading speed of the master control device is effectively solved.

Claims (27)

1. A plug-in television, comprising:

a display, configured with a slot;

a plug card, plugged into the slot to connect to the display;

wherein the plug card is connect to a signal transmission device of the plug-in television through the display to receive first data transmitted through the signal transmission device, and, after processing the first data, to convert the processed first data into second data;

the display receives the second data, and plays audio and video signals contained in the second data;

wherein the first data is a HDMI format data and the second data is a low-voltage differentiating signal (LVDS) data;

the plug card comprises:

at least one subunit, and each of the subunits being connected to a matching signal transmission device;

a core unit, and each of the subunits being connected to the display through the core unit; wherein any one of the subunits receives the first data from the matching signal transmission device, and converts the first data into unprocessed data in a standard format to the core unit, and the core unit processes and converts the unprocessed data in the standard format into the second data, each of the subunits and the core unit is separately integrated into a single structure, configured to be separately upgraded and replaced; each subunit realizes a processing function for data in at least one format, the data can be wireless television data or closed circuit television data or internet signals; and the core unit comprises a master control chip, the plug card is allowed to be assembled by the subunit and the core unit;

the subunits comprise:

a wireless television signal processing subunit, configured to receive and process wireless television signal transmitted through wireless broadcasting, and to convert a format of the wireless television signal into the standard format;

a closed circuit television signal processing subunit, configured to receive and process closed circuit television signal transmitted through wire transmission, and to convert a format of the closed circuit television signal into the standard format;

an internet television signal processing subunit, configured to receive and process internet television signal transmitted through Internet, and converting a format of the internet television signal into the standard format;

the plug card further comprises:

a local storage device, connected to the core unit;

wherein the core unit can call and transmit the audio and video data stored in the local storage device to the display for playing;

the subunits further comprise:

a wireless communication device, configured to receive and transmit network audio and video data to the core unit for processing, and the core unit transmits the processed network audio and video data to the display for playing;

the audio and video signal comprise audio data and/or video data;

the display comprises: a bridge chip, receiving the second data and, after processing the second data, outputting the audio data and/or the video data for playing;

the display further comprises: a plurality of peripheral devices, connected to the bridge chip to adjust operating parameters of the audio device and the display device, and receive remote-control signals transmitted through a remote control matching the plug-in television.

2. The plug-in television according to claim 1 , wherein the display further comprises: a display device, connected to the bridge chip to receive and play the video data; a power adapter, connected to the plug card to drive the plug card.

3. The plug-in television according to claim 2 , wherein the display further comprises: an audio device, connected to the bridge chip to receive and play the audio data.

4. The plug-in television according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of peripheral devices comprise: physical buttons, connected to the bridge chip to adjust the operating parameters of the audio device and the display device; a remote-control signal receiving device, connected to the bridge chip to receive the remote-control signals, so as to control the playing of the audio data and/or the video data.

5. The plug-in television according to claim 1 , wherein the subunits further comprise: an audio and video input device, configured to receive audio and video data transmitted through an external audio and video output device, and, after processing the audio and video data, transmitting the processed audio and video data to the display.

6. The plug-in television according to claim 5 , wherein the audio and video input device stores the processed audio and video data into the local storage device.

7. The plug-in television according to claim 1 , wherein the display exchanges data with the plug card via preset plug pins.
