Data processing system using dual monitor and controlling method of network system thereby

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data processing system using a dual monitor and a network system data management system for data processed by this system, in particular a data processing system using a dual monitor, and a network system data management system for data processed by this system. with a dual monitor that displays separate contents as separate display devices.

State of the art

The result of the processing of computer data is mainly spread on the monitor so that it is visible to the user. The content unfolded on the monitor is converted into a video graphics adapter (hereinafter referred to as VGA) controlled by a processor and arranged as a video signal.

Sometimes a computer user works in such a way that they can load multiple programs on one computer at the same time, for example, when a computer is in a state where Word processing and browser are loaded at the same time to communicate with each other.

For example, when a user loads a Word processor, multiple web browsers, an editor, and other computer applications that are controlled by a window control type operating system, communications related to loaded applications are logged at the bottom of the window screen and currently running applications are expanded. .

However, one computer is usually connected to one monitor. This way, even if several programs are loaded, only one screen is displayed on the monitor that corresponds to the program currently in use. In addition, when a user works to validate a result processed simultaneously with one or more applications, the user must select as soon as the corresponding application at the bottom of the window becomes necessary and the required application appears temporarily on the screen.

To resolve this issue, the version of Windows 98 that serves as a multi-screen feature, which is an enforcement system developed by Microsoft Corporation, needs to be disclosed and widely used. The multi-screen function means that two or more VGAs are connected to two monitors respectively and each monitor '5 expands the processed result of the program selected by the user. ·

The multi-screen function can be used very conveniently when the user is required to work validating the processed content with respect to two or more applications at the same time after multiple applications are loaded. Since two or more monitors require the use of a multi-screen function, this requires a desk with a wide surface.

If your computer is connected to Internet-specific headlines via a web browser, the information fed through the corresponding headline is flattened on the monitor.

Most headlines usually allow advertising to be placed on their own 15 pages. Thus, the user must close the window for the advertisement that the user does not want to see, and widely lay out or unwrap the window that expands the information they want.

When an advertiser wants to display the content being posted without evaluating the user's intent, the effect of the ad is reduced because the user closes the window without even looking at the content being posted. Usually there is no system here to please both the user and the advertiser. One of the known systems is described in US 6025871 (15.02.00).

There is a VT card, a modem, etc. which are considered communication devices, the communication device of the present invention is connected via a VT card (9) to a network (10).

The dual monitor (7) comprises: a first monitor (11) serving as a master monitor for outputting the processed results of a program currently being used by the user; and mounted on a first monitor (11) for positioning a second monitor (12) serving as an auxiliary monitor for content dependent or different from the contents unfolded on the first monitor (11).

The first or second monitors (11) and (12) are constructed integrally with one another in the same space. The first and second monitors (11) and (12) must have an EV (cathode ray tube) display, SKI (Liquid Crystal Display) board, or other display elements. Depending on the size, both monitors (11) and (12) are convenient to use with a SKI card.

The digital camera (13) is configured on the side of the second monitor (12) for input of video information in the case of a video telephone, and also for input of video data via a USP (Universal Serial Board) port (14) to a processor (3). .

The video data processed and output from the processor (3) is input to the first or second monitor (11) and (12) via the first and second video graphics adapters (VGA) (15) and (16). In the present embodiment of the present invention, the system constructed from two VGAs is open, but it must be constructed with a dual VGA port having, as the case may be, two output ports.

The output of the video signals from the first and second VGAs (15) and (16) is input to the first and second monitors (11) and (12) respectively via the first and second video wires (17) and (18). Since the first and second monitors (11) and (12) are integrally formed, their video cable connecting the terminals (D-transfer switch) is placed adjacent to each of them. Thus, the first and second monitors (11) and (12) must be interconnected with each other such that a plurality of lines for transmitting each video signal are integrated into one packet and the first and second monitors (11) and (12) are connected to the first. and a second VGA (15) and (16) video cable having a branch formed at both ends for connecting the first and second VGA (15) and (16) and the first and second monitors (11) and (12).

The present invention, having the structure described above, has the advantage that the amount of wires connecting the computers and peripherals is reduced and thus the wires can be arranged more conveniently.

In addition, VGA can process two video signals as a standard dual VGA port and has a single D-transfer switch that serves as a video output port and has multiple contacts for transmitting two video signals.

In the same case, the dual monitor (7) has a single D-transfer switch serving as a video input port and having a plurality of contacts for receiving two video signals, and the video cables connecting the video output port and the video input port are interconnected by a single video cable. , having many lines in one packet for transmitting two video signals.

The present invention includes a broadcast receiving part, i.e. a TV / radio receiving part (19) for receiving TV / radio broadcasting waves, so that one of the first or second monitors (11) and (12) is to be used as a TV screen.

The TV / R receiving portion (19) outputs a TV video signal received through one of the first 5 or a second VGA (15) and (16) under the control of the processor (3), and the audio signal is output through the audio processing portion (20), will be described later, thanks to the processor (3).

The user can see the TV broadcast on the second monitor (12) when using an Internet-specific program on the first monitor (11), such as a web browser.

In particular, when a radio broadcast is received because only the audio signal is output, different programs must be processed through the first or second monitors (11) and (12).

it is possible that the dual monitor (7) has a broadcast receiving portion 15 capable of receiving TV / radio broadcast, such as the TV / R reception portion (19), the received broadcast signals being transmitted via the USP port (15) to the processor (3), the video signal of the broadcast signals being output through one of the first or second VGA (46) and (48), and the audio signal being output through the loudspeaker (8) through the audio processing portion (20).

Further, it is possible that the dual monitor (7) has a broadcast receiving portion that can receive TV / Radio broadcasts as a TV / R reception portion (19), the video signals being output through the first or second monitors (11) and (12). part of the broadcast reception, and the audio signal is output through the loudspeaker (8).

Therefore, the streaming receiving part must be controlled by a processor (3), by changing the streaming reception channels and selecting an output monitor or the other, and receiving the converted and output video signals from a tuner which receives the streaming signals with video signals which may be output at first or second. monitor (11) or (12).

The audio processing part (20) which processes the audio signals and outputs them to the audio signals is connected to the processor (3). The audio processing part (20) serves to output the broadcast signal audio signal received by the TV / R receiving part (19), to receive the audio signal and output it through the loudspeaker (8) when a plurality of information means are used through the processor (3), and to input audio through the microphone (21).

The loudspeaker (8) connected to the audio processing unit, mainly for stereo output, has two loudspeakers. In the case where the audio processing part (20) has. For the 5 envelope output function, the speaker (8) must have a plurality of loudspeakers corresponding to the envelope output function.

In addition, the loudspeaker (8) must be housed in an integral housing with a dual monitor (7), thus reducing the size of the computer system.

The network created by the present invention using a data processing system using a dual monitor as described below can be used for a variety of purposes.

First, as shown in FIG. A plurality of computers (22a) (22b) and (22c) according to the present invention use a dual monitor (7) as a form of display device on a network via a VT card (9).

Here, the dual monitors (23a), (23b) and (23c) connected to the plurality of computers (22a), (22b) and (22c) accommodate the first monitors (24a), (24b) and (24c) and the second monitors respectively. (25a), (25b), and (25c).

The computers (22a), (22b) and (22c) are connected via a VT card (9) to a network management server (26) and form a local area network (10), and the network (10) is connected to the Internet. Characteristics used in the above embodiments will be described below.

In the case of accessing the Internet via a server (26), the computer processor (3) extracts the title page web page connected to the web browser used by the user with the first monitor (11). The second monitor (12) extracts additional information received from the server (26), which may be in the form of news, ads, or other, and further information may be further disposed on the second monitor (12) regardless of the user's wishes.

Therefore, it is imperative that the server (26) has control over the processor of the user computer for the second monitor (12) and controls the use of the second monitor (12) by the user.

Advertising on the second monitor (12) has the advantage, due to the method described above, that it is very useful for the reliable protection of advertisers, because it has a very good transmission effect on the server administration position.

Furthermore, after the use of a VT data processing system using a dual monitor according to the present invention, the latter can be used as an internal interactive system with a specific space, such as a contractual system, which will be described later.

The contractual system through VT provides this way, provided that these contractual arrangements are in place, where the reporter and the decision maker do the work assigned to them using their own computers, in which case the arrangement of the content and the transfer of the content to the decision maker's computer.

In the case of a decision maker, if the person works 15 using a dual monitor (7), the window containing the contents of the agreement is temporary and, in response to the contract requirement, expands above the window currently in use.

In addition to the problem with the conventional method, where the currently used window is enveloped in a contracted window, the system of the present invention allows the decision maker to consult the second monitor (12) because the decision maker using the first monitor (11). ) can manage the agreement because it can simultaneously check the content being used at that time ^and content for consensus, but the condition is that the content in use at that time and the content for the agreement are interlinked.

To be added, when at least two or more users are communicating with the same application using a plurality of computers (22a), (22b), and (22c) connected to the network (10), the content for single-user operation is unfolded on the first monitor. (11), and content intended for other users is unfolded on the second monitor (12), thereby allowing users to work on the interface, since the contents of the user work and the work content of the other parts are simultaneously validated.

For example, when two users open the same document and enter different contents while preparing a Vordordic processor file or spreadsheet file, if different data is entered after a network check, different user content is input into a separate file, and users can enter data as it is possible validation of data input conditions for other parts, thus increasing operational efficiency.

It may be added that a user interface provided with a program unfolded on the first monitor (11), such as a graphical user interface, is tap-clickable, a data processing system using a dual monitor according to the present invention expands the program associated with the corresponding user interface on the second monitor. (12) (or vice versa), so this screen's expandable area is enlarged by two monitors, this increases the ease of use of the computer.

Moreover, using a digital camera (13) connected to a processor (3) of each of the computers (22a), (22b), and (22c) connected to the network (10) via a USP port (15), the data processing system according to the The invention can be used as a video communication system.

In other words, the user image captured by a digital camera mounted on a computer is transmitted to other parts of the computer, and at the same time the user image is unfolded on its own first or second monitor, and the user image transmitted to other parts is unfolded on other monitors the data processing system can be used as a video communication system.
