Dynamic Resource Allocation for Multi-Display Surveillance Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Surveillance camera systems face inefficiencies in resource allocation, leading to unnecessary energy consumption, heat generation, and reduced lifespan due to the lack of dynamic control over resources allocated to display devices, especially when multiple devices with varying resolutions and channels are used.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that dynamically control resource allocation to display devices based on their operation state and maximum resolution, adjusting resource allocation coefficients to optimize resource usage, and manage image transmission and storage across connected devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If decoding is performed on images for all connected display devices regardless of operation state, then all devices can potentially display images, but unnecessary resources are occupied and energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts resource allocation based on real-time detection of display device operation states. The resource allocation coefficient is dynamically calculated and updated according to which devices are actually operating, allowing the system to adapt resource distribution to current conditions rather than using static allocation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of resource allocation coefficients based on display device operation states and maximum resolutions. By modifying these allocation parameters dynamically, the system optimizes resource distribution to match actual display needs, preventing waste on non-operating devices while ensuring adequate resources for active displays.
2Ease of operation
If decoding resources are allocated to all connection display devices, then resource allocation is simplified, but resource usage efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the total decoding resources into distinct allocation units corresponding to each display device. By dividing resources into device-specific portions based on operation state and resolution requirements, the system achieves both manageable allocation (through clear segmentation) and high efficiency (by allocating only to needed devices at appropriate levels).
Solution Approach 2:
Different resource allocation coefficients are assigned to different display devices based on their specific characteristics (operation state, maximum resolution). This local differentiation ensures that each operating device receives appropriate resources matched to its actual capabilities and needs, rather than uniform allocation, thereby improving overall resource usage efficiency.
3Manufacturing precision
If high resolution images are decoded for all display devices, then image quality is maintained, but heat generation increases and device lifespan decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically changes the resolution parameter based on the operation state of each display device. When a device is detected as non-operating, the system adjusts the decoding resolution parameter down or stops decoding entirely for that device, reducing computational load and heat generation while maintaining high resolution for actually operating displays.
4Productivity
If resource allocation is dynamically adjusted based on display device information, then resource efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the operation state and maximum resolution information from display devices is continuously detected and fed back to the resource allocation module. This feedback loop enables automatic adjustment of resource allocation coefficients without complex manual intervention, achieving dynamic optimization through automated information feedback.
