A Micro-Chip Based Design of the Two Active Monitors -Interface Communication Controller in Personal Computer

摘要

Most of the Personal Computers (PCs) are still in the single monitor and single processor mode since the distributed processes and managements are already been wildly used for the large scale Computer. In this paper, we center this flaw and propose a Two Active Monitors-Interface Communication Controller (TMICC). In the beginning, the imaged micro-chip SAA7146A is used to transfer the traditional PCI controlling system Interface of PCs into the high performance USB transmission system Interface and extract the image data of the original monitor (Master Monitor) in the PCs into the temporary registers of TMICC. Subsequently, we design a Driving Program to interconnect the Hardware structure of the proposed TMICC and PCs to assist the transferring of the image data of the PCs into the other monitor (Slave Monitor). The proposed TMICC is compact and solid and is easy to be installed in PCs. Furthermore, the proposed TMICC not only enriches the general PCs with Two Active Monitors function but also can examine the processing procedure of the two different jobs in PCs. We have made numerous simulations in different types PCs and obtain some successful results.
