Abstract

A display apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The display apparatus includes a first display and a second display located in a vehicle; a signal processing device including a processor configured to perform signal processing for the first display and the second display; a third display located in the vehicle; and a second signal processing device including a second processor configured to perform signal processing for a third display, wherein, in case in which data is transmitted from the signal processing device to the second signal processing device, a data transmission method is changed based on the type of data. Consequently, transmission efficiency may increase in case in which data is transmitted between a plurality of signal processing devices in a vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display apparatus for a vehicle, the display apparatus comprising:
a first display and a second display sized to be located in a vehicle; a signal processing device including a processor configured to output each processed image signal to the first display and the second display; a third display sized to be located in the vehicle; and a second signal processing device including a second processor configured to output a processed image signal to a third display, wherein, in response to transmitting data from the signal processing device to the second signal processing device, the signal processing device is configured to change a data transmission method based on a type of data or a classified level of software or application, wherein the signal processing device is further configured to: in response to information on the software or the application not existing, designate the software or application to be transmitted as a first level, in response to the software or the application being primarily classified based on resources, designate the software or application to be transmitted as a second level.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the processor in the signal processing device is configured to execute a plurality of virtual machines on a hypervisor in the processor.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the processor in the signal processing device is configured to execute a plurality of virtual machines on a hypervisor in the processor, and change a data transmission method based on a type of the data, in response to transmitting data to between the plurality of virtual machines.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to classify categories into a plurality of levels based on the software or application-use resources, and change the data transmission method based on the classified levels.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to execute an information manager for managing an application list and information, a data processing manager for managing a data processing method in the application list, and an interface for outputting data to be transmitted.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to check the application list and information through the information manager and then change the data transmission method based on a classification level of an application in the application.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in response to transmitting application data including video data and a graphic image, transcode and transmit encoded video data, and encode and transmit the graphic image.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the second signal processing device is configured to transcode and decode video data received from the signal processing device, decode the graphic image, synthesize the decoded video data and the decoded graphic image, and display a synthesized image.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in response to transmitting application data including camera data and a graphic image, encode and transmit the graphic image, scale down and transmit the application data in case in which the camera data is less than or equal to a reference resolution, and scale down, encode, and transmit the application data in case in which the camera data exceeds the reference resolution.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second signal processing device is configured to selectively decode camera data received from the signal processing device, synthesize the selectively decoded camera data and the graphic image, and display a synthesized image.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in response to transmitting application data including audio data and a graphic image, transcode and transmit encoded audio data, and encode and transmit the graphic image.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the second signal processing device is configured to transcode and decode audio data received from the signal processing device, output the decoded audio data, decode the graphic image, and display the decoded graphic image.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the signal processing device is configured to, in response to transmitting application data including a graphic image, encode and transmit the graphic image, and the second signal processing device is configured to decode the graphic image and display the decoded graphic image.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second signal processing device is configured to transmit event occurrence information to the signal processing device in case in which an event occurs in the displayed graphic image.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in case in which a new application that was not previously installed is installed and executed, transcode and transmit each of encoded video data and encoded audio data of the new application.

16 . The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the second signal processing device is configured to transcode and decode video data and audio data received from the signal processing device, output the decoded audio data, and display the decoded video data.

17 . The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in response to executing the new application, periodically collect data, an event, and framework information, infer a category of the new application using a learning model, and change a data transmission method based on an inferred category.

18 . A display apparatus for a vehicle, the display apparatus comprising:
a first display and a second display sized to be located in a vehicle; and a signal processing device including a processor configured to output each processed image signal to the first display and the second display, wherein the processor in the signal processing device is configured to execute a plurality of virtual machines on a hypervisor in the processor, the processor is configured to, in response to transmitting data between the plurality of virtual machines, change a data transmission method based on a type of data or a classified level of software or application, wherein the signal processing device is further configured to: in response to information on the software or the application not existing, designate the software or application to be transmitted as a first level, in response to the software or the application being primarily classified based on resources, designate the software or application to be transmitted as a second level.

19 . The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in response to transmitting application data including video data and a graphic image, transcode and transmit encoded video data, and encode and transmit the graphic image.

20 . The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to, in response to transmitting application data including camera data and a graphic image, encode and transmit the graphic image, scale down and transmit the application data in case in which the camera data is less than or equal to a reference resolution, and scale dow
