At present, a chip provided with an MIPI interface can be connected with a motherboard and other devices in a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC), a Coax (Coax) or the like manner, but the FPC, the FFC and the Coax have weak structural strength and are easily damaged in a use process; in addition, the FPC and the FFC support only short-distance transmission and can only be used for connection in equipment, and although the Coax can support long-distance transmission, the processing difficulty is high, and the price of the connector and the wire is also high.

In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a MIPI signal transmission apparatus, a system and an electronic device, wherein the MIPI signal transmission apparatus includes a MIPI chip and a first USB interface connected to the MIPI chip, and after the MIPI chip generates a MIPI signal, the MIPI signal is transmitted through the first USB interface, so that long-distance transmission of the MIPI signal can be achieved.

The present disclosure is illustrated below with reference to specific examples.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a MIPI signal transmission apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 1, the MIPIsignal transmission apparatus 100 includes: aMIPI chip 101, and afirst USB interface 102 connected to theMIPI chip 101;

The MIPIchip 101 includes a MIPI interface and is connected to thefirst USB interface 102 through the MIPI interface, where a clock channel of theMIPI chip 101 may be connected to a high-speed signal channel of thefirst USB interface 102, and a data channel of theMIPI chip 101 may be connected to a super-speed data channel of thefirst USB interface 102.

Here, the other channels connected to thefirst USB interface 102 may be preset channels determined according to the type of theMIPI chip 101. For example, for a display screen module, only a clock channel and a data channel are generally required to be connected; for the camera module, besides the clock channel and the data channel, SCL/SDA of I2C of the camera module can be connected to CC1/2 or SBU1/2 of thefirst USB interface 102; the VBUS of the camera module may be connected to the POWER of thefirst USB interface 102, and the GND of the camera module may be connected to the GND of thefirst USB interface 102.

In addition, in the case where the two auxiliary channels of thefirst USB interface 102 are connected, the polarities of the preset levels of the two auxiliary channels of thefirst USB interface 102 are opposite. Here, the SBU2 of thefirst USB interface 102 is connected at a level opposite to the polarity of the preset level of the SBU1, that is, the SBU2 is connected at a high level when the preset level of the SBU1 is a low level, and the SBU2 is connected at a low level when the preset level of the SBU1 is a high level.

Thereceiving chip 2022 may be a chip with a MIPI interface on a motherboard, or may be another chip with a MIPI interface, where the type of thereceiving chip 2022 is not limited herein.

After the MIPIsignal transmitting apparatus 201 transmits the MIPI signal to the MIPIsignal receiving apparatus 202, if thereceiving chip 2022 receives the MIPI signal within a preset time period, it indicates that thefirst USB interface 2012 is connected to thesecond USB interface 2021 in a forward direction, and if thereceiving chip 2022 does not receive the MIPI signal within the preset time period, it indicates that thefirst USB interface 2012 is connected to thesecond USB interface 2021 in a reverse direction, where the preset time period may be 20 ms.

It should be noted that, when the I2C of theMIPI chip 2011 is connected to thefirst USB interface 2012, if thefirst USB interface 2012 is connected to thesecond USB interface 2021 in the forward direction, the SCL of theMIPI chip 2011 corresponds to the SCL of thereceiving chip 2022, and the SDA of theMIPI chip 2011 corresponds to the SDA of thereceiving chip 2022; if thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 are connected in reverse, the SCL of theMIPI chip 2011 corresponds to the SDA of thereceiving chip 2022, and the SDA of theMIPI chip 2011 corresponds to the SCL of thereceiving chip 2022. Here, when theMIPI chip 2011 is initialized, the connection manner of thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 is determined according to the result of the I2C communication, if the I2C communication is normal, it indicates that thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 are connected in the forward direction, and if the I2C communication fails, it indicates that thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 are connected in the reverse direction.

therelay chip 2023 is configured to receive the conversion instruction sent by thereceiving chip 2022, and convert the MIPI signal received by thereceiving chip 2022 according to the conversion instruction.

Here, after thereceiving chip 2022 receives the MIPI signal, the connection state between thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 is obtained, if thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 are reversely connected, thereceiving chip 2022 sends a conversion instruction to the relayingchip 2023, and the relayingchip 2023 converts the MIPI signal received by thereceiving chip 2022 according to the conversion instruction and the corresponding relationship between theMIPI chip 2011 and the data channel of thereceiving chip 2022 when thefirst USB interface 2012 and thesecond USB interface 2021 are reversely connected, that is, recombines the MIPI signal received by thereceiving chip 2022, for example, if the MIPIsignal transmitting device 201 transmits the MIPI signal through 4 data channels, the relayingchip 2023 may swap the data of the MIPI D1 +/-and the MIPI D2 of thereceiving chip 2022, swap the data of the MIPI D3 and the MIPI D4 of thereceiving chip 2022, and then recombines the data of the swapped 4 channels, and obtaining the converted MIPI signal.

Considering that different MIPIsignal transmission devices 201 can be connected according to actual requirements for the MIPIsignal receiving device 202, for example, for an unmanned aerial vehicle, according to a shooting scene, a shooting target, a shooting speed, and the like, a corresponding camera can be selected, for example, when shooting a night scene, a camera with a better night shooting effect can be selected, and when shooting a landscape, a camera with a panoramic function can be selected, so that a better shooting effect can be achieved; in addition, for unmanned aerial vehicle equipment manufacturers, in the unmanned aerial vehicle test phase, various cameras need to be adapted for debugging. Therefore, the MIPIsignal receiving device 202 needs to acquire the connection state of the MIPIsignal transmitting device 201, and complete corresponding processing operations according to the connection state, for example, when the MIPIsignal transmitting device 201 is disconnected from the MIPIsignal receiving device 202, the MIPIsignal receiving device 202 needs to store the image data that has been captured, and when the MIPIsignal transmitting device 201 is reconnected to the MIPIsignal receiving device 202, the MIPIsignal receiving device 202 needs to trigger an initialization operation on theMIPI chip 2011. In this case, when the MIPIsignal transmission apparatus 201 is disconnected or connected to the MIPIsignal reception apparatus 202, the disconnected or connected state needs to be transmitted to the MIPIsignal reception apparatus 202.

In the case where the two auxiliary channels of thefirst USB interface 2012 are connected, the polarities of the preset levels of the two auxiliary channels of thefirst USB interface 2012 are opposite. Here, the SBU2 of thefirst USB interface 2012 is connected at a level opposite to the polarity of the preset level of the SBU1, i.e., when the preset level of the SBU1 is low, the SBU2 is connected at high, and when the preset level of the SBU1 is high, the SBU2 is connected at low.

In this way, the MIPIsignal receiving apparatus 202 can determine the connection state of the MIPIsignal transmitting apparatus 201 and the MIPIsignal receiving apparatus 202 according to the polarity of the current level of the SBU1 of thesecond USB interface 2021. Illustratively, when the MIPIsignal transmitting apparatus 201 is connected to the MIPIsignal receiving apparatus 202, the current level of the SBU1 of thefirst USB interface 2012 is consistent with the level of the SBU2, that is, the current level of the SBU1 is opposite to the polarity of the preset level of the SBU1, so that the current level of the SBU1 of thesecond USB interface 2021 of the MIPIsignal receiving apparatus 202 is also opposite to the polarity of the preset level of the SBU1, indicating that the connection state of the MIPIsignal transmitting apparatus 201 and the MIPIsignal receiving apparatus 202 is connection; when the MIPIsignal transmission device 201 is disconnected from the MIPIsignal reception device 202, the current level of the SBU1 of thefirst USB interface 2012 is the same as the polarity of the preset level of the SBU1, and the current level of the SBU1 of thesecond USB interface 2021 of the MIPIsignal reception device 202 is also the same as the polarity of the preset level of the SBU1, which indicates that the connection state of the MIPIsignal transmission device 201 and the MIPIsignal reception device 202 is disconnected. Here, the connection relationship between the MIPIsignal transmitting device 201 and the MIPIsignal receiving device 202 is determined according to the two auxiliary channels of the first USB interface, so that the hot plug function of the MIPI signal transmitting device can be realized.
