    • DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The foregoing and other objects, aspects, and advantages of the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention for driving an external display device using a mobile phone device.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention for driving an external display device using a mobile phone device. A mobile phone device can comprise an internal primary display device 2, a first display controller 4 to drive the internal display device 2, a graphics accelerator 6, an A/V decoder and encoder 8, a primary processor 10, peripheral device controllers 12 to connect to external and internal storages 14, a video processor 16, an audio processor 18 which can output audio signals to an amplifier 20 and/or a transmitter 22, a second display controller 24 which can output to an external display device 26 via the transmitter 22 or a digital to analog converter (“DAC”) 28, a memory interface 30, a memory 32 (e.g., RAM), a communications processor 34, a radio frequency (“RF”) transceiver 36, and an internal bus 38 to connect the various disclosed components.
  • The mobile phone device can display content (e.g., images, video content, multimedia content, or other displayable content) via an external display device 26 (e.g., a projector, CRT monitor, LCD monitor, television, or other display devices) driven by the second digital controller 24. In order to display content on the external display device 26, software (“S/W”) running on the primary processor 10 controls the data flow internally, and enables the internal primary display device 2 and the external display device 26 to display content.
  • With respect to the components in the data flow, the memory interface 30 is responsible for reading and writing data into the memory 32 and from the memory 32. The internal bus 38 enables communication among the components in the system.
  • The external display device 26 can be connected to the mobile phone device via connection capable of communicating with a VGA connection, an analog TV-out connection (e.g., S-video, component, or other TV connection), a HDMI connection, or other audio and/or video connections. The graphics and video content can be merged and displayed on both the internal primary display device 2 and the external display device 26. The displayed content can be the same for both display devices 2 and 26 or different for each display device. Audio content can be also connected to the external display device 26 via the transmitter 22 or the DAC 28.
  • Content can be downloaded to the mobile phone device from a Wi-Fi connection, a 2G/3G communications connection, a Bluetooth connection, a global positioning system device, a mobile TV connection, or other source via the communications processor 34. Alternatively, content can be fetched from a peripheral device (e.g., camera, microphone, external storages, or other peripheral devices) via the peripheral device controller 12. The video processor 16, graphics accelerator 6, and AN decoder 8 can process the content and blend the content into a merged graphic and video frame to be placed in the memory 32. The first and/or second display controllers 4 and 24 can then fetch the final content to be displayed to its respective display device.
  • With respect to the second display controller 24, the second display controller 24 retrieves the content stored in the memory 32, and converts that data to VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards for VGA output, wherein these standards are incorporated by reference. In performing this conversion, the second display controller 24 generates a defined resolution, timing diagram, timing sequence, and the period for transferring data following the VESA standards to display the content on the external display device 26. The converted data can be transferred via a cable connected to the external display device 26. Various VESA display resolutions can be supported through the cable to the external display device 26.
  • Generally, a VGA connector and video connectors of a television (e.g., RCA connectors, S-Video connectors, and component connectors) have separate form factors, thus requiring separate cables to connect to these connectors. Furthermore, these connections can be implemented using different standards, thereby requiring the usage of special cables for the connectors. For instance, if a display controller outputs a signal for an S-video connection, this cannot work for a VGA format since VGA cables have more wires than the S-video cable and are governed by different standards.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, a single cable can be used to connect to various types of audio/video connections of an external display device. Software can configure the device to correctly output the correct signals for a particular connection. The cable can be physically similar to a USB-like connector and cable.
  • Software and hardware can be used in conjunction to determine if the mobile phone device is connected to a TV out connection, a VGA connection, a HDMI connection, or other type of connections. Once the type of connection is determined, the software on the mobile phone device can initiate transmission of the video data in accordance with the respective standards for that connection.
  • Generally, VGA requires more wires than TV out since TV out may need one wire, two wires (s-video connection), or three wires (component connection). Therefore, the TV out wires can be mapped to the wires used for a VGA connection in order to support various TV out connections through a single cable. Similarly, other types of connections can be mapped to the VGA connection.
  • Software can determine whether there is a VGA, TV out, HDMI, or other connection to the external display device 26. If a TV out connection is determined, then HW can sense the level of the various wires on the cable to determine the type of TV out connection. If it is a VGA connection, then there may be no need for a mapping since the wires can be configured for VGA video output as the default setting. HW can also detect whether or not the cable is plugged in to the external display device 26.
  • In addition to the mobile phone device automatically sensing the type of connection to the external display device 26, the user of the mobile phone device can also select which type of audio/video connection to output the displayable content from the mobile phone device to the external display device 26.
  • The mobile phone device can automatically sense the video connection attached to it. The mobile phone can have a cable that plugs into an input and output (“I/O”) connector of the mobile phone device. On one end of the cable is a plug unique for the mobile phone device. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, this cable can be a 20 pin I/O cable. The other end of the cable can have multiple connectors based on the respective video standard to be used by the external display device 26. Thus, the 20 pin I/O connector of the cable can be plugged into the mobile phone device and the other end of the cable can be plugged into external display's 26 respective a/v connector, such as a VGA connector, S-video, composite video, RGB cable, or other connector to the external display device 26. The cable may also be able to connect to the external display 26 using an adapter to convert an end of the cable to fit the connector of the external display 26. The SW on the mobile phone device can determine the type of connection used and send video data in accordance with the respective standard for that video connection.
  • When a user plugs in the mobile phone device to the external display device 26 via an appropriate connector, the mobile phone device can automatically transmit data to the external display device 26 in accordance with the respective video standard. For instance, if the user plugs in the cable into the I/O connector of the mobile phone, and on the other end of the cable is plugged into an LCD monitor that supports 1024×768 via a VGA connection on the monitor. The mobile phone device can automatically detect that the attached external display device is a monitor, and switch to the appropriate resolution. Alternatively, if the user instead plugs the cable into a composite video source, the mobile phone device will automatically determine that the device is a television and output the appropriate video via the composite video connection.
  • This can also work for a docking station for the mobile phone device.
