Solution Overview

Problem

Poor compatibility between image data transmission devices due to format limitations, as each device can only transmit image data in a specific format, restricting the transmission of image data in multiple formats.

Innovation Solution

Divide the target image into multiple regional images with different resolutions, where the first regional image is focused on the gaze point and the second regional image is of a lower resolution, allowing for transmission in a fixed format that includes head information and pixel values of each pixel, facilitating compatibility between transmission devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If image data is transmitted in multiple formats with specific format requirements, then each transmission device can maintain its own format standards, but compatibility between different transmission devices deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveformat flexibilityVSAvoidcompatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming image data from various formats into a standardized transmission format with fixed parameters including head information and pixel value parameters. This allows different source formats to be converted into a universal transmission standard, resolving the contradiction between format flexibility and compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a standardized transmission format as an intermediary between different source image formats and target display formats. This intermediary format with fixed head information and pixel value structures acts as a mediator that enables compatibility across different devices while maintaining support for multiple source formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If the entire target image is transmitted at original resolution, then image quality is maintained, but data transmission volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating transmission precision for different regions of the image. The head information is transmitted with complete precision while pixel values are transmitted in a standardized format that balances quality and data volume. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining necessary quality while reducing overall data transmission requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments image data into two distinct parts: head information and pixel values. This segmentation allows for optimized transmission of each component, where the head information structure enables efficient parsing and reconstruction, thereby reducing total data volume while maintaining image quality through proper reconstruction at the receiving end.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If a fixed transmission format with head information and pixel values is implemented, then compatibility between devices improves, but transmission protocol complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidprotocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transmission data into clearly defined components: head information and pixel values. This segmentation simplifies the protocol by providing clear boundaries and structures for each component, making it easier to implement and parse across different devices while maintaining compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a fixed transmission format with standardized parameters for head information and pixel values. By defining explicit parameter structures and data types, the protocol complexity is managed through standardization, enabling different devices to follow the same format rules without requiring complex adaptive logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed are a method and device for transmitting image data, a storage medium, and a processor. The method comprises: segmenting a target image into multiple regional images having different resolutions, wherein the target image comprises a first regional image and a second regional image, the first regional image is an image in a region on which a gaze point falls, and the second regional image is a regional image other than the first regional image in the target image; and transmitting header information of the multiple regional images and pixel values of respective pixels in the respective regional images. The present invention solves a technical problem in which since image data in multiple formats are transmitted in practice and each image data transmitting apparatus can only transmit image data in a certain format, such format limitation results in poor compatibility between image data transmitting apparatuses.
