Definitions
- the present invention relates to key pads and cameras, and more particularly to operations where key pad data and camera data occur together and share electronics in devices.
- Key pads and cameras are often found in mobile or cell phones. Typically in- put/output (I/O) operations of the two are sent over separate and unique interfaces.
- the data from the keypad and the camera may be sent in parallel or in serial fashion, but in prior art applications, the data from the keypad and the camera are not multiplexed or interleaved.
- these keypad and camera I/O signals are sent over a flexible hinge cable used in flip or slider cell phones but on separate wires.
- Typical micro-processors in cell phone and other hand held devices include a parallel interface to a keypad that traversed the flexible hinge. Cameral signals also traverse the hinge on other wires. It would be more efficient if the wires in the hinge carried keypad interleaved with camera data.
- the present invention provides for interleaving over shared wires camera and keypad or other serial data that is slower than the HSYNC time cycle.
- the terms "cam- era” and "keypad” are herein defined as to include other devices that produce serial data as indicated herein.
- keyboard data Although expressed as keyboard data below, virtually any serial data may be passed during the camera HSYNC time period.
- virtually any data that has a HSYNC time period in which its data signals are meaningless, may be used in conjunction with the slower serial data. That is LCD, video and the like may be multiplexed wherein during the HSYNC slower serial data may be sent.
- keypad data may be sent.
- keypad data is sent during the HSYNC time period. Since keypad data operates at "human" speed and the camera HSYNC occurs often, the sending of keypad data only during HSYNC will be unnoticed by the user. IfHSYNC is not generated when the camera is not in use, that can be detected and keypad data serialized and sent over as using an oscillator to generate time signals..
- FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram illustrating one embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the Master Serializer to Slave Deserializer part of the FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 illustrates traces of system waveforms where key pad data is being passed during the HSYNC, synchronizing signal, of the camera.
- FIG. 1 is a circuit block diagram illustrating the electronic configuration of a key pad matrix 10 and a camera 12 as may be found in a cell phone.
- the key pad matrix 10 is arranged into three columns and four rows.
- Four sense lines 14 and three scan lines 16 are enough to unambiguously determine which key might be depressed. These sense and scan lines are coupled to the Master Serializer 18.
- the camera 12 interfaces with the Master Serializer 18 via connections 21 with a picture element clock, PIXCLK 20, a strobe 22, eight parallel data (a byte) lines 24, an HSYNC ( horizontal synchronization) signal 26, and a VSYNC (vertical synchronization) signal 28.
- a picture element clock PIXCLK 20
- a strobe 22 eight parallel data (a byte) lines 24
- an HSYNC ( horizontal synchronization) signal 26 an VSYNC (vertical synchronization) signal 28.
- HSYNC horizontal synchronization
- VSYNC vertical synchronization
- the Master Serializer 18 mimics or mirrors the interface that the micro-processor 40 would present to the cameral and keypad. In this fashion the Master Serializer is a virtual micro-processor to the camera and keypad.
- the Master Serializer receives parallel data from the camera 12 and from the keypad 10, in the same manner as would the micro-processor 40. That data is formatted into serial form and sent to the Slave Deserializer 32 over the flex 30 hinge with only a clock signal CKSO 34 (from Slave to Master), a clock, CKS,36 from Master to Slave) and data lines DS 38.
- the Slave Deserializer 32 mimics the camera and the keypad such that the microprocessor "believes" it is interfacing directly to the cameral and keypad.
- the Slave Des- rializer is a virtual camera and keypad to the micro-processor.
- the Slave Deserializer 32 interfaces with the micro-processor 40 via a camera interface 42 and a keypad interface 44.
- the camera interface connections 46 mirror the camera connections 21 between the camera 12 and the Master Serializer 18.
- the key pad interface to the base band microprocessor of four sense lines and three scan lines 50 mirror the connections 14 and 16 to the key pad itself.
- FIG. 2 illustrates in block form the electronic functions within the Master Serializer 18 and the Slave Deserializer 32.
- a key pad detection circuit 50 that scans the key pad 10 (FIG.1) and detects which key is depressed by sensing an oscillator 52 signal received.
- a control and data multiplexer 54 interleaves sending/receiving signals from the key pad and the camera, illustratively, in time. Care is taken so that the time restraints on the camera I/O are met while not missing any key pad depressions. The time sharing of transmissions via the multiplexer 54 are known to those skilled in the art.
- the key pad 10 When the key pad 10 is sending data via the control and data multiplexer 54 signals from the key detection circuit 50 and the oscillator 52 are sent to a twelve bit serial- izer 56.
- the key pad data is serialized and sent over the DS 38 along with a clock signal CKS 36 that provides timing for the Slave Deserializer to properly receive the key pad signals.
- the keypad data may be formatted or encoded in binary, hex, etc. as the designed might determine.
- PLL 58 that provides the picture element clock, PIXCLK 20 to the camera.
- the data lines 24, the HSYNC 26, the VSYNC 28, and the strobe 22 are sent directly to the controller and data multiplexer 54.
- the controller data multiplexer interfaces with the serializer 56 via, illustratively, twelve parallel data lines 60, a strobe, STRB 62 and a SERCK, a serial clock 64.
- the camera data is invalid.
- the key pad data may be transferred without corrupting either the key pad or the camera operations.
- the present invention uses the HSYNC, illustratively, time period to interleave or multiplex the keypad data and the camera data.
- the combined data is serialized and sent over the DS line with the CKS signal in the flex cable.
- the Slave Deserializer 32 receives and deserializes the multiplexed key pad and camera data into parallel data and separates the two with demultiplexer 72.
- the key pad data is regenerated into parallel form 74 recognized by a microprocessor.
- the camera parallel data is also regenerated into a parallel form recognized by the microprocessor 40 as shown in FIG. 1.
- an additional wire may be included in the DS group that signals when keypad or camera data is being passed.
- Other methods may be used as known to those skilled in the art, for example the first byte passed on the DS lines might always be a mode indicator that indicates a given amount of camera (or keypad) data follows. Other techniques are known in the art.
- FIG. 3 illustrate a typical set of cameral and keypad waveforms that illustrate the present invention.
- the first row 80 of data signals each of one byte shown in hex format are illustrative data signals from the camera.
- the grouping of these signals 81 indicates a HSYNC true, horizontal synchronization, time period.
- the camera data signals, while HSYNC 82 is low, are indicated by bytes FO, Fl, F2, F3, F4 and F5.
- the data on these lines is meaningless with respect to the camera.
- the HSYNC time is used in the present invention to send keypad data to the micro-processor via the Master Serializer/Deserializer.
- Data 84 and HSYNC 86 are offset in time oc- curring later that the traces at 80 and 82. This time difference illustrates the delay times through the Master Serializer electronics. Also, note that during the HSYNC 86, the F2 and F3 data bytes from the camera have been replaced by the two byte groups, 00 and 04, indicated as item 92. The next row 88 shows the keypad data on twelve bits or hex 004. Only 1.5 bytes are used by the keypad so the leading four bits are made equal to zero so that bytes 00 04 are sent to the Deserializer.
- the keypad data is sent replacing the F2 and F3 bytes of camera data during the HSYNC, but any of the data bytes during the HSYNC may be used as long as they are consistent. Keypad data may also be transferred during the VSYNC as would be known to those skilled in the art.
- the system may be operated in several modes.
- a first mode low speed key pad
- the PLL 58 is disabled, and the key oscillator 52 travels through the key pad matrix when a key is depressed levels on the serial lines.
- the key pad data is passed using LVCMOS (low Voltage CMOS).
- a second mode, high speed camera/key pad enables the PLL 58 (which becomes locked).
- the key pad data is captured and passed when the HSYNC signal 26 is low.
- Camera data is passed when HYSYNC 26 is high.
- a third mode, high speed camera passes no camera data. But key pad data is passed by the controller and a key pad data multiplexer provides a low, pseudo HYSYNC signal.
- timing arrangements as well as other multiplexing arrangements may be used to advantage with the present invention.
- the present disclosure uses an oscillator to detect and decode a key depres- sion, but logic signals may be used, including voltage signals and/or current signals.
- logic signals may be used, including voltage signals and/or current signals.
- microprocessors there are many microprocessors that may be used to advantage.
- very large silicon integration circuits with dedicated functions may be used, as well as one chip computers.
- a PLL is disclosed in this illustrative example, but, as known to those skilled in the art, operations without PLLs may be used.
- crystal clocks or the equivalent depending on the camera timing requirements, and other types of timing circuits may be used to advantage.
