Carrier Image Layout for Concurrent Camera Bus Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with limited hardware resources face constraints in processing multiple large image files from multiple cameras, leading to degraded user experiences and restricted concurrent camera use, particularly in systems with compact designs.
Innovation Solution
A computing device combines tracking images and display images into carrier images, reducing camera bus bandwidth by transmitting these carrier images, which can then be processed to extract the necessary data, allowing for more concurrent camera use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple large image files from multiple cameras are processed simultaneously, then user experience is improved, but hardware resources are exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple tracking images and display images into a single carrier image that is transmitted over the camera bus. This merging approach allows multiple camera feeds to be processed simultaneously without requiring separate dedicated channels for each camera, thereby improving concurrent camera use while managing hardware resources efficiently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple camera feeds are transmitted over the camera bus, then concurrent camera use is enabled, but bandwidth requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple tracking images and display images are merged into a single carrier image structure that is transmitted over the camera bus. This consolidation reduces the total bandwidth required compared to transmitting each camera feed separately, while still enabling multiple concurrent camera operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrier image contains nested structures where tracking images and display images are integrated within a single image framework. This nesting allows multiple data streams to share the same transmission channel efficiently, reducing overall bandwidth consumption while maintaining the ability to process multiple camera feeds concurrently.
