New, if so, the control circuit board 122 then notifies the microcontroller 132 to stop accessing the non-volatile memory 133 to transfer the updated firmware transmitted by the computer 2 to the non-volatile memory 133 to update its previously stored display firmware. If not, the control circuit board 122 of course continues to monitor whether the touch sensor 121 senses the touch input and whether the motherboard 21 of the computer 2 has issued an update command.

圖2為根據本發明一較佳實施例所繪示之通過顯示器的觸控模組更新顯示器韌體的方法之流程圖。請參見圖2，以圖1所示之顯示器1及電腦2為例，在顯示器1及電腦2開機後，觸控感測器121感測在顯示面板11上是否有使用者觸碰輸入(步驟S201)。當有觸碰輸入時，控制電路板122根據觸控感測器121感測的觸碰輸入產生觸碰點信號輸出至電腦2(步驟S202)，然後返回步驟S201繼續監控觸控感測器121是否感測有觸碰輸入，而電腦2在收到控制電路板122輸出的觸碰點信號時根據觸碰點信號執行相應的操作。當無觸碰輸入時，控制電路板122接 著判斷是否有來自電腦2的韌體燒入程式所發出的命令輸入(步驟S203)，這個命令包含主機板21所載入的韌體燒入程式與控制電路板122之間的溝通命令、韌體燒入程式發出以電腦2儲存的更新韌體更新顯示器1現有的顯示器韌體的更新命令等各種命令。 2 is a flow chart of a method for updating a display firmware through a touch module of a display according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 , the display 1 and the computer 2 shown in FIG. 1 are taken as an example. After the display 1 and the computer 2 are turned on, the touch sensor 121 senses whether there is a user touch input on the display panel 11 (steps). S201). When there is a touch input, the control circuit board 122 generates a touch point signal to the computer 2 according to the touch input sensed by the touch sensor 121 (step S202), and then returns to step S201 to continue monitoring the touch sensor 121. Whether or not the touch input is sensed, and the computer 2 performs a corresponding operation according to the touch point signal upon receiving the touch point signal output from the control circuit board 122. When there is no touch input, the control circuit board 122 is connected It is judged whether there is a command input from the firmware burning program of the computer 2 (step S203), and the command includes a communication command between the firmware burning program loaded on the motherboard 21 and the control circuit board 122, and is tough. The body burning program issues various commands such as updating the firmware of the existing display firmware of the display 1 by updating the firmware stored in the computer 2.
當無觸碰輸入且無命令輸入時，控制電路板122返回步驟S201繼續監控是否有觸碰輸入。當無觸碰輸入而有命令輸入時，控制電路板122判斷輸入的命令是否更新命令(步驟S204)。若輸入的命令不是更新命令，則控制電路板122執行輸入的命令(步驟S205)並返回步驟S201繼續監控觸控感測器121是否感測有觸碰輸入。若輸入的命令是更新命令，則控制電路板122接著判斷用於更新顯示器1現有的顯示器韌體的更新韌體的版本是否符合顯示器1的機型(步驟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 touching the input, the control circuit board 122 judges whether the input command updates the 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 board 122 then determines whether the version of the updated firmware for updating the existing display firmware of the display 1 conforms to the model of the display 1 (step S206).
若更新韌體的版本不符合顯示器1的機型，則控制電路板122通知微控器132，以便微控器132控制視訊處理器131在顯示面板11的畫面上疊加OSD資訊告知使用者更新韌體的版本不合且更新失敗的信息(步驟S207)。若更新韌體的版本符合顯示器1的機型，則控制電路板122接著判斷更新韌體的版本是否比顯示器1現有的顯示器韌體版本新(步驟S208)。若更新韌體的版本比顯示器韌體版本舊，則控制電路板122通知微控器132，以便微控器132控制視訊處理器131在顯示面板11的畫面上疊加OSD資訊告知使用者更新韌體的版本較舊且更新失敗的信息 (步驟S209)。 If the version of the updated firmware does not conform to 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 the OSD information on the screen of the display panel 11 to inform the user to update the toughness. The version of the volume does not match and the information of the failure is updated (step S207). If the version of the updated firmware conforms to the model of the display 1, the control board 122 then determines whether the version of the updated firmware is newer than the existing display firmware version of the display 1 (step S208). If the version of the updated firmware is older than the display firmware version, the control circuit board 122 notifies the microcontroller 132 that the microcontroller 132 controls the video processor 131 to superimpose the OSD information on the screen of the display panel 11 to inform the user to update the firmware. Older version and updated failed information (Step S209).
若更新韌體的版本符合顯示器1的機型且比顯示器1現有的顯示器韌體版本新，則控制電路板122通知微控器132停止存取非揮發性存儲器133，以便將電腦2傳送過來的更新韌體傳送至非揮發性存儲器133(步驟S210)，並在傳送完畢後以更新韌體透過完全取代或部分修補等方式更新原先儲存的顯示器韌體(步驟S211)。而控制電路板122將監控非揮發性存儲器133的顯示器韌體是否完成更新(步驟S212)，若完成更新則通知微控器132，以便微控器132控制視訊處理器131在顯示面板11的畫面上疊加OSD資訊告知使用者顯示器韌體更新成功的信息(步驟S213)。 If the version of the updated firmware conforms to 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 to transfer the computer 2 The updated firmware is transferred to the non-volatile memory 133 (step S210), and after the transfer is completed, the previously stored display firmware is updated by updating the firmware by completely replacing or partially repairing (step S211). The control circuit board 122 will monitor whether the display firmware of the non-volatile memory 133 is updated (step S212), and notify the micro-controller 132 if the update is completed, so that the micro-controller 132 controls the screen of the video processor 131 on the display panel 11. The superimposed OSD information is used to inform the user that the display firmware update is successful (step S213).
當尚未完成更新顯示器韌體時，觸控感測器121還是可繼續感測是否有觸碰輸入(步驟S214)，若有，則控制電路板122根據觸控感測器121感測的觸碰輸入產生觸碰點信號輸出至電腦2(步驟S215)以使電腦2執行相應的操作；若無，則控制電路板122返回步驟S211繼續更新顯示器韌體，並同時監控觸控感測器121是否有感測到觸碰輸入。 When the display firmware is not completed, the touch sensor 121 can continue to sense whether there is a touch input (step S214), and if so, the control circuit board 122 senses the touch according to the touch sensor 121. The input generates a touch point signal output to the computer 2 (step S215) to cause the computer 2 to perform a corresponding operation; 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 is There is a sense of touch input.
綜上所述，本發明的顯示器透過其觸控模組與電腦之間現有的具雙向傳輸功能的電連接(如USB)而可接收使用者通過電腦的韌體燒入程式發出的更新命令，再透過其觸控模組與視訊介面板的電連接而可將來自電腦的更新韌體傳送至視訊介面板以更新視訊介面板中原有的顯示 器韌體，因此，即使在顯示器組裝完成後發現顯示器韌體有更新的需求，並不須拆開顯示器來進行顯示器韌體的更新動作。另外，顯示器的觸控模組在未收到電腦發出的更新命令時或在顯示器韌體尚未更新完畢時仍可感測觸碰輸入以提供使用者觸碰操作。 In summary, the display of the present invention can receive an update command issued by the user through the firmware of the computer through the existing two-way transmission function (such as USB) between the touch module and the computer. Through the electrical connection between the touch module and the video interface panel, the updated firmware from the computer can be transmitted to the video interface panel to update the original display in the video interface panel. The firmware is so that even if the display firmware is 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 sense the touch input to provide a user touch operation when the update command issued by the computer is not received or when the display firmware has not been updated.
