Can adopt any suitable mode to arrange N piece screen, as long as this N piece screen arrangement becomes the rectangle composite screen of the capable n of m row, i piece screen and i+1 piece screen are in the horizontal direction or adjacent on the vertical direction.
Be that example is described embodiments of the invention with nine screen electronic equipments below.With reference to Fig. 7 to Figure 11, show the front and back of 5 kind of nine screen electronic equipment, corresponding to 5 kinds of screen arrangements.In (a) in Fig. 7, from the 1st screen according to counterclockwise therefrom the mind-set periphery arrange other screen; In (a) in Fig. 9, from the 1st screen according to counterclockwise from outer circumferential other screen of center arrangement; (a) in Figure 11 and (b) in, arrange other screen from the 1st screen according to S shape.
Should be appreciated that Fig. 7 to Figure 11 is not contained all arrangement modes of 9 screens of nine screen electronic equipments, can have some distortion.For example, for (a) among Fig. 7 and (a) among Fig. 9, according to counterclockwise arranging other screen, also can arrange other screen according to CW from the 1st screen from the 1st screen; For (a) among Fig. 8, (a), (a) and (a) among Figure 11 among Figure 10 among Fig. 9, the 1st screen is positioned at the lower left corner of 3 * 3 matrixes, but any of the 1st upper left corner, the upper right corner and the lower right corner that also can be arranged in 3 * 3 matrixes.
In addition; Should be noted that; If the 1st screen is arranged in any one position of centre of centre, the 3rd row of centre, the 1st row of centre, the 3rd row of the 1st row of 3 * 3 matrixes; Arrange other screen in any case, all can not satisfy foregoing condition " N piece screen arrangement becomes the rectangle composite screen of the capable n of m row, and i piece screen and i+1 piece screen in the horizontal direction or adjacent on the vertical direction ".
Along with the increase of m and n, can there be the distortion of the arrangement of more kinds of N piece screens, as long as the final foregoing condition of rectangle composite screen that forms of these arrangements just can realize the object of the invention.Can adopt known " ergodic algorithm " to arrange N piece screen, make and satisfy above-mentioned condition, so-called " traversal " is exactly the grid matrix for m * n, begins from a certain grid, passes through all grids successively, and each grid can only can not repeat through once.In other words, the grid matrix for m * n begins serial number from some grids, and numbering increases progressively from 1, and the grid of next numbering must be close to the grid of a numbering, and each grid can only be by numbering once, up to last grid is numbered N.
A kind of preferred arrangement of N piece screen is described below, but the invention is not restricted to this.
Said N piece screen can be arranged in such a way:
Since the 1st screen, in a clockwise direction or counterclockwise spiral detours and increases screen, alternately increases line number and columns and (that is, if increased delegation, then increases by row subsequently; If perhaps increased by row, then increase delegation subsequently), if the screen of having arranged forms rectangle, then continue to increase screen according to the direction identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours, reach maximum number of lines m or columns reaches maximum number of column n up to line number;
Add screen and supply current breach, form rectangular screen;
If columns does not reach maximum number of column n or line number does not reach maximum number of lines m, then increasing by row or a delegation with current maximum screen position adjacent interpolation screen;
Mode according to the mouth of preferentially filling a vacancy; When line number reaches maximum number of lines m or columns and reaches maximum number of column n; Supply breach if having breach then increase screen,, reach maximum number of column n or line number reaches maximum number of lines m up to columns if do not have breach then increasing by row or a delegation continuing to add screen with current maximum screen position adjacent; Supply remaining breach at last, form the rectangle composite screen (a big screen) of the capable n row of m thus; Perhaps according to the mode of preferentially not filling a vacancy mouthful; When line number has reached maximum number of lines m and columns does not reach that maximum number of column n or columns have reached maximum number of column n line number has not reached maximum number of lines m; Make columns reach maximum number of column n or make line number reach maximum number of lines m through adding screen; Supply remaining breach at last, form the rectangle composite screen of the capable n row of m thus.
In above-mentioned accompanying drawing; Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 15 show the situation that screen is not arranged in the 1st screen below; At this moment, the collapsible coupling arrangement between the 1st screen and the input media is positioned at the front of the 1st screen and input media.
On the other hand, Fig. 7, Figure 13, Figure 14 show the situation that the 1st screen arranged beneath has screen, and at this moment, the collapsible coupling arrangement between the 1st screen and the input media is positioned at the back side of the 1st screen and input media.In Fig. 7, Figure 13 and Figure 14, hatched example areas is represented input media.
Be that example describes how to arrange 8 screens through above-mentioned preferred arrangement with eight screen electronic equipments below.
Because 8=2 * 4, so m=2, n=4 representes 2 row, 4 row.
With reference to (a) among Fig. 5 and (a) among Fig. 6, earlier since the 1st screen, be example with the counter clockwise direction, the 2nd screen is added to the right side of the 1st screen; Increased by row (columns is 2) this moment, then needed to increase delegation, therefore the 3rd screen is placed on the top of the 2nd screen, and this moment, line number reached maximum number of lines 2.
Because line number has reached maximum number of lines 2, must supply current breach, to form rectangular screen.So the 4th screen must be placed on the left side of the 3rd screen.
The 5th screen can only be placed on the left side of the 4th screen, could guarantee that like this line number is no more than maximum number of lines 2, has increased by row simultaneously.
According to the mode of the mouth of preferentially filling a vacancy, the 6th screen is placed on the below of the 5th screen, and the modes of emplacement of the 7th screen and the 8th screen repeats the modes of emplacement of the 5th screen and the 6th screen, shown in (a) among Fig. 5.
Perhaps, according to the mode of the mouth of preferentially not filling a vacancy, the 6th screen is placed on the left side of the 5th screen, increased by row, so that columns reaches maximum number of column 4 row earlier, the modes of emplacement of the 7th screen and the 8th screen is to be used to supply breach, shown in (a) among Fig. 6.
Then, can between input media and the 1st screen, arrange collapsible coupling arrangement and between each screen, arrange collapsible coupling arrangement, form eight screen electronic equipments at last according to foregoing collapsible coupling arrangement arrangement.
In addition, in the example of describing with reference to (a) among Fig. 5 and (a) among Fig. 6, be example with the counter clockwise direction, earlier since the 1st screen, the 2nd screen is added to the right side of the 1st screen, and the 3rd screen is placed on the top of the 2nd screen.But the 2nd screen also can be added to the upside of the 1st screen, and the 3rd screen is placed on the left side of the 2nd screen, equally also satisfies counterclockwise.
When the number of screen N of electronic equipment is bigger; If the screen of having arranged has formed rectangle; But the line number of this rectangle does not reach the columns of maximum number of lines m and this rectangle and does not reach maximum number of column n; Then can continue to increase screen, reach maximum number of lines m or columns reaches maximum number of column n up to line number according to the direction identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours.
Be that example is described above-mentioned process of arranging 9 screens through above-mentioned preferred arrangement with nine screen electronic equipments below.With reference to (a) among Fig. 7 and (a) among Fig. 8, earlier since the 1st screen, be example with the counter clockwise direction, the 2nd screen is added to the right side of the 1st screen; Increased by row (columns is 2) this moment, then needed to increase delegation, therefore the 3rd screen is placed on the top of the 2nd screen; Owing to be counterclockwise to detour,, formed a rectangle this moment so the 4th screen is placed on the left of the 3rd screen; But the line number of this rectangle does not reach the columns of maximum number of lines 3 and this rectangle and does not reach maximum number of column 3.
Therefore, can continue to increase screen, reach maximum number of lines 3 or columns reaches maximum number of column 3 up to line number according to the direction identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours.
For example, shown in (a) among Fig. 7, can be (promptly according to the direction identical with the preceding direction that once detours; Counterclockwise) continue to increase screen; The 5th screen is added to the left side of the 4th screen, and this moment, columns reached maximum number of column 3, must supply current breach; To form rectangular screen, therefore the 6th screen must be placed on the below of the 5th screen; Line number was 2 and did not reach maximum number of lines 3 this moment, therefore, was then increasing delegation's (that is, the 7th screen being added to the below of the 6th screen) with current maximum screen position adjacent interpolation screen; This moment, line number reached maximum number of lines 3, must supply current breach, to form rectangular screen, therefore the 8th screen was added to the right side of the 7th screen, and the 9th screen is added to the right side of the 8th screen, had formed nine screen electronic equipments thus.
Again for example, shown in (a) among Fig. 8, can be according to once detouring direction in the opposite direction (promptly with preceding; CW) continues to increase screen; The 5th screen is added to the top of the 4th screen, and this moment, line number reached maximum number of lines 3, must supply current breach; To form rectangular screen, therefore the 6th screen must be placed on the right side of the 5th screen; Columns was 2 and did not reach maximum number of column 3 this moment, therefore, was then increasing by row (that is, the 7th screen being added to the right side of the 6th screen) with current maximum screen position adjacent interpolation screen; This moment, columns reached maximum number of column 3, must supply current breach, to form rectangular screen, therefore the 8th screen was added to the below of the 7th screen, and the 9th screen is added to the below of the 8th screen, had formed nine screen electronic equipments thus.
Therefore, (in the process of the piece screen of N=m * n), since the 1st screen, in a clockwise direction or counterclockwise spiral detours and increases screen, alternately increases line number and columns arranging N; If the rectangle that the screen of having arranged forms for the first time (promptly; First rectangle) columns that line number does not reach maximum number of lines m and this rectangle does not reach maximum number of column n; Then continue to increase screen, form second rectangle according to the direction identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours; If the line number of second rectangle does not reach the columns of the maximum number of lines m and second rectangle and does not reach maximum number of column n, then continue to increase screen according to the direction identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours, form the 3rd rectangle; If the line number of the 3rd rectangle does not reach the columns of maximum number of lines m and the 3rd rectangle and does not reach maximum number of column n; Then continue to increase screen according to the direction identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours; The rest may be inferred, reaches maximum number of lines m or columns reaches maximum number of column n up to line number.Then, judge again whether columns has reached maximum number of column n or whether line number has reached maximum number of lines m.
If m and n value are big more, then (the piece screen of N=m * n) is because the direction that detours of intermediate rectangular (that is, first rectangle, second rectangle, the 3rd rectangle ...) can be identical or opposite with the preceding direction that once detours, so mode of texturing is also many more for N.
