Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video coding technologies waste decoding resources on undisplayed portions of flexible display screens, such as folding screens, leading to inefficiency and reduced user experience.

Innovation Solution

A video data processing method that uses a first inter-prediction mode to derive motion vectors based on a basic area corresponding to a display mode, allowing partial decoding of bitstreams according to the displayed area, thereby reducing resource consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If full video decoding is performed for flexible display screens, then complete video quality is maintained, but decoding resources are wasted on undisplayed portions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding resource consumptionVSAvoidvideo coding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The video frame is divided into a display area and a non-display area. The encoder separately encodes these two regions, and the decoder only decodes the display area, achieving segmentation of the decoding process to eliminate waste of resources on non-displayed portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of decoding the entire video frame, the system performs partial decoding only on the display area portion that will actually be shown on the flexible display screen, reducing unnecessary decoding operations while maintaining sufficient video quality for the visible region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Device complexity

If motion vectors are derived from the entire video frame, then accurate motion compensation is achieved, but processing complexity increases for undisplayed areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidmotion vector accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The motion vector derivation is performed locally within the display area using local reference pixels, rather than using the entire frame. This local approach reduces processing complexity while maintaining motion vector accuracy for the displayed region, as the motion characteristics are captured sufficiently within the local area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A video data processing method and a video data processing device, a display device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: for a current video block of a video, determining to use a first inter-frame prediction mode for encoding and decoding (S101); on the basis of the determination, performing conversion between the current video block and a bitstream of the video, wherein the derivation of a motion vector of the current video block in the first inter-frame prediction mode is based on a basic region, corresponding to a first display mode, in the video (S102). By means of the method, the bitstream can be partially decoded according to a region which actually needs to be displayed, thereby reducing the decoding resource consumption of the undisplayed part and improving the encoding and decoding efficiency.
