Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a signal processing device and a vehicle display apparatus including the same. The signal processing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a processor configured to perform signal processing for displays located in a vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to: display a first image including a first overlay on a first display, transmit the first image by screen sharing, and display a second image of a mirrored image corresponding to the first image on a second display; generate a second overlay different from the first overlay while displaying the first image and the second image; transmit information related to the second overlay by instance copying; and display a second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay on top of the first image or the second image. Accordingly, objects may be displayed rapidly and accurately by instance copying during screen sharing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A signal processing device, comprising:
a processor configured to perform signal processing for displays located in a vehicle, execute a hypervisor, and execute a plurality of virtual machines on the hypervisor; and a memory configured to store data regarding the hypervisor or the plurality of virtual machines,
wherein the processor is configured to:
display a first image including a first overlay on a first display, transmit the first image by screen sharing, and display a second image of a mirrored image corresponding to the first image on a second display;
generate a second overlay different from the first overlay while displaying the first image and the second image;
transmit information related to the second overlay by instance copying;
display a second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay on top of the first image and the second image;
display an information indicating that mirroring is in progress; and
execute a server virtual machine and a plurality of guest virtual machines,
wherein a first guest virtual machine of the plurality of guest virtual machines is operated for the first display, and a second guest virtual machine of the plurality of guest virtual machines is operated for the second display,
wherein the server virtual machine is configured to allocate a shared memory using the hypervisor, and write the information related to the second overlay in the shared memory,
wherein the first guest virtual machine and the second guest virtual machine are configured to access the shared memory based on a received key data and receive the information related to the second overlay from the shared memory, and
wherein the first guest virtual machine is configured to display the first image including the second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay, and the second guest virtual machine is configured to display the second image including the second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay.

2. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein after displaying the first image and the second image, the processor is configured to display images including the first overlay and the second overlay on the first display and the second display, respectively.

3. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein in response to receiving an input through a human machine interface while displaying the first image and the second image, the processor is configured to generate the second overlay.

4. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
in response to receiving an input through the first display while displaying the first image and the second image, generate the second overlay and display a third image, including the first overlay and the second overlay on the first display;
transmit information related to the second overlay by instance copying; and
display a fourth image including the second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay and the first overlay on the second display.

5. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
in response to receiving an input through the second display while displaying the first image and the second image, generate the second overlay and display a third image, including the first overlay and the second overlay on the second display;
transmit information related to the second overlay by instance copying; and
display a fourth image including the second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay and the first overlay on the first display.

6. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute a plurality of containers, the plurality of containers operating for a plurality of displays, respectively,
wherein among the plurality of containers, a first container is configured to transmit the information related to the second overlay to a second container by the instance copying, and the second container is configured to generate the second overlay based on the information received from the first container.

7. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first overlay includes map information, and the second overlay includes message information.

8. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first overlay includes map information, and the second overlay includes a search item, a zoom in item, and a zoom out item.

9. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first overlay includes map information, and the second overlay includes an item corresponding to a human machine interface,
wherein in response to receiving an input through the human machine interface, the processor is configured to generate the second overlay.

10. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the first image including the first overlay on the first display;
display the second image of the mirrored image corresponding to the first image on the second display by screen sharing; and
while displaying the second image on the second display, further display screen sharing information.

11. The signal processing device of claim 10 , wherein while displaying the screen sharing information, the processor is configured to further display seat information related to an image source.

12. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the first image including the first overlay on the first display; and
while displaying the second image of the mirrored image corresponding to the first image, on the second display by the screen sharing, sequentially enlarge and display the second image.

13. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein while displaying the second image on the second display, the processor is configured to control screen sharing information to disappear after being displayed for a predetermined period of time.

14. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the first image including map information on the first display and display the second image of the mirrored image corresponding to the first image on the second display;
in response to receiving destination information through the second display while displaying the first image and the second image, generate the second overlay corresponding to the destination information;
transmit information related to the second overlay by instance copying; and
display the second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay on top of the first image on the first display.

15. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the first image including a menu option screen on the first display and display the second image of the mirrored image corresponding to the first image on the second display;
in response to receiving order information through the second display while displaying the first image and the second image, generate the second overlay corresponding to the order information;
transmit information related to the second overlay by instance copying; and
display the second overlay generated based on the information related to the second overlay on top of the first image on the first display.

16. The signal processing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the first image including map information on the first display and display the second image of the mirrored image
