This command includes the firmware burning program loaded on the main board 21 and the control circuit board. The communication command between 122 and the firmware burning program issue various commands such as an update command for updating the existing display firmware of the display 1 with the update firmware stored in the computer 2 .
当无触碰输入且无命令输入时，控制电路板122返回步骤S201继续监控是否有触碰输入。当无触碰输入而有命令输入时，控制电路板122判断输入的命令是否更新命令（步骤S204）。若输入的命令不是更新命令，则控制电路板122执行输入的命令（步骤S205）并返回步骤S201继续监控触控传感器121是否感测有触碰输入。若输入的命令是更新命令，则控制电路板122接着判断用于更新显示器1现有的显示器固件的更新固件的版本是否符合显示器1的机型（步骤S206）。 When there is no touch input and no command input, the control circuit board 122 returns to step S201 to continue monitoring whether there is a touch input. When there is a command input without touch input, the control circuit board 122 determines whether the input command is an update command (step S204 ). If the input command is not an update command, the control circuit board 122 executes the input command (step S205 ) and returns to step S201 to continue monitoring whether the touch sensor 121 senses a touch input. If the input command is an update command, the control circuit board 122 then determines whether the updated firmware version used to update the existing display firmware of the display 1 matches the model of the display 1 (step S206 ).
若更新固件的版本不符合显示器1的机型，则控制电路板122通知微控器132，以便微控器132控制视频处理器131在显示面板11的画面上迭加OSD信息告知使用者更新固件的版本不合且更新失败的信息（步骤S207）。若更新固件的版本符合显示器1的机型，则控制电路板122接着判断更新固件的版本是否比显示器1现有的显示器固件版本新（步骤S208）。若更新固件的版本比显示器固件版本旧，则控制电路板122通知微控器132，以便微控器132控制视频处理器131在显示面板11的画面上迭加OSD信息告知使用者更新固件的版本较旧且更新失败的信息（步骤S209）。 If the updated version of the firmware does not match the model of the display 1, the control circuit board 122 notifies the microcontroller 132, so that the microcontroller 132 controls the video processor 131 to superimpose OSD information on the screen of the display panel 11 to inform the user to update the firmware. version does not match and the update fails (step S207). If the updated firmware version matches the model of the display 1 , the control circuit board 122 then determines whether the updated firmware version is newer than the existing display firmware version of the display 1 (step S208 ). If the updated firmware version is older than the display firmware version, the control circuit board 122 notifies the microcontroller 132 so that the microcontroller 132 controls the video processor 131 to superimpose OSD information on the screen of the display panel 11 to inform the user of the updated firmware version Older information that fails to be updated (step S209).
若更新固件的版本符合显示器1的机型且比显示器1现有的显示器固件版本新，则控制电路板122通知微控器132停止存取非易失性存储器133，以便将计算机2传送过来的更新固件传送至非易失性存储器133（步骤S210），并在传送完毕后以更新固件通过完全取代或部分修补等方式更新原先储存的显示器固件（步骤S211）。而控制电路板122将监控非易失性存储器133的显示器固件是否完成更新（步骤S212），若完成更新则通知微控器132，以便微控器132控制视频处理器131在显示面板11的画面上迭加OSD信息告知使用者显示器固件更新成功的信息（步骤S213）。 If the updated firmware version matches the model of the display 1 and is newer than the existing display firmware version of the display 1, the control circuit board 122 notifies the microcontroller 132 to stop accessing the non-volatile memory 133 so that the computer 2 transmits the The updated firmware is transmitted to the non-volatile memory 133 (step S210 ), and after the transmission is completed, the previously stored display firmware is updated with the updated firmware by means of complete replacement or partial repair (step S211 ). The control circuit board 122 will monitor whether the display firmware of the non-volatile memory 133 has been updated (step S212), and if the update is completed, the microcontroller 132 will be notified, so that the microcontroller 132 controls the video processor 131 on the display panel 11. OSD information is superimposed to inform the user that the firmware update of the display is successful (step S213 ).
当尚未完成更新显示器固件时，触控传感器121还是可继续感测是否有触碰输入（步骤S214），若有，则控制电路板122根据触控传感器121感测的触碰输入产生触碰点信号输出至计算机2（步骤S215）以使计算机2执行相应的操作；若无，则控制电路板122返回步骤S211继续更新显示器固件，并同时监控触控传感器121是否有感测到触碰输入。 When the update of the display firmware has not been completed, the touch sensor 121 can still continue to sense whether there is a touch input (step S214), and if so, the control circuit board 122 generates a touch point according to the touch input sensed by the touch sensor 121 The signal is output to the computer 2 (step S215) to enable the computer 2 to perform corresponding operations; if not, the control circuit board 122 returns to step S211 to continue updating the display firmware, and simultaneously monitors whether the touch sensor 121 senses a touch input.
综上所述，本发明的显示器通过其触控模块与计算机之间现有的具有双向传输功能的电连接（如USB）而可接收使用者通过计算机的固件烧入程序发出的更新命令，再通过其触控模块与视频接口板的电连接而可将来自计算机的更新固件传送至视频接口板以更新视频接口板中原有的显示器固件，因此，即使在显示器组装完成后发现显示器固件有更新的需求，并不须拆开显示器来进行显示器固件的更新动作。另外，显示器的触控模块在未收到计算机发出的更新命令时或在显示器固件尚未更新完毕时仍可感测触碰输入以提供使用者触碰操作。 To sum up, the display of the present invention can receive an update command issued by the user through the firmware burning program of the computer through the existing electrical connection (such as USB) with two-way transmission function between its touch module and the computer, and then Through the electrical connection between the touch module and the video interface board, the updated firmware from the computer can be sent to the video interface board to update the original display firmware in the video interface board. Therefore, even if the display firmware is found to be updated after the display is assembled It is not necessary to disassemble the display to update the display firmware. In addition, the touch module of the display can still sense the touch input to provide the touch operation for the user when the update command from the computer is not received or the firmware update of the display has not been completed.
