Solution Overview
Problem
Current data transmission optimization methods, such as static compression, apply uniform compression factors to all data regardless of original quality, leading to suboptimal results for both high and low-quality data, particularly in mobile environments.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic optimization method that analyzes the quality of transmission data before compression, allowing for individualized optimization by determining a specific degree of compression based on the data's original quality, initiated by the receiving end device, and carried out by an optimization device with access to quality reference values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If uniform compression factor is applied to all transmission data, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but data quality deteriorates for both high-quality and low-quality data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic optimization by analyzing the original quality of transmission data and adjusting the compression factor accordingly. The optimization device determines different compression levels based on quality analysis results, transforming the static uniform compression approach into a dynamic adaptive process that responds to actual data characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by treating different portions of transmission data differently based on their individual quality characteristics. High-quality data receives higher compression factors while low-quality data receives lower or no compression, allowing each data segment to be optimized according to its specific properties rather than applying a global uniform compression factor
2Productivity
If high compression factor is applied to high-quality data, then transmission time is reduced and storage space is conserved, but data quality deteriorates to unacceptable levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the compression parameter dynamically based on the original quality of the transmission data. The optimization device analyzes quality metrics and adjusts the compression factor parameter accordingly, allowing high-quality data to undergo stronger compression while maintaining acceptable quality thresholds, thus resolving the contradiction between compression efficiency and quality preservation
3Quantity of substance
If high compression factor is applied to low-quality data, then storage space is conserved, but data quality deteriorates significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent identifies low-quality data segments through quality analysis and applies a different compression strategy specifically to these segments. By recognizing the local quality characteristics of each data portion, the system applies minimal or no compression to already low-quality data, preventing further quality degradation while still optimizing storage space for high-quality segments
4Manufacturing precision
If individual quality analysis is performed on each transmission data, then data quality is improved through customized compression, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an optimization device as an intermediary component between the data source and transmission channel. This intermediary performs quality analysis and determines appropriate compression factors, centralizing the complexity in a dedicated component rather than distributing it throughout the entire system, thus managing device complexity while enabling individualized optimization

AI summary
The method involves providing an optimizing unit (13) between a data source and a data destination, where the optimizing unit optimizes i.e. compresses, transmission data. The compressed data are transmitted from the optimizing unit to the data destination, where a data-quality analyzing process is performed before compressing the transmission data. Individual optimization level i.e. compression degree, of the transmission data is determined. The transmission data is allowed to be compressed in the optimizing unit based on the determined optimization level. An independent claim is also included for an optimizing device.
