Solution Overview

Problem

High-definition video processing results in large data sizes due to continuous use of coding modes suited for passive luminescent display devices with active luminescent devices, leading to inefficient data transmission and decoding.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method that converts RGB data into YUV format, inverts luminance values of target image blocks into darkness values, and codes DUV data of target blocks with YUV data of non-inverted blocks to optimize data size for active luminescent display devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If coding mode for passive luminescent display devices is continuously used, then compatibility with passive luminescent devices is maintained, but data size of image data becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with passive luminescent devicesVSAvoiddata size of image data
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The image is divided into multiple image blocks, and different coding strategies are applied to different blocks based on their luminance characteristics. Bright blocks are inverted to dark blocks, allowing the use of more efficient coding modes for dark-background content while maintaining overall compatibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different processing treatments are applied to different regions of the image based on local characteristics. Bright image blocks are selectively inverted to dark blocks, while other blocks maintain original characteristics, optimizing coding efficiency for each region according to its specific properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If luminance values are inverted for all image blocks, then data size is reduced for active luminescent devices, but compatibility with passive luminescent devices deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata size of image dataVSAvoidcompatibility with passive luminescent devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The image is segmented into multiple blocks, and only bright blocks are inverted to dark blocks while other blocks remain unchanged. This selective inversion reduces data size for active luminescent devices while preserving compatibility with passive luminescent devices through the unchanged blocks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different processing is applied to different regions: bright blocks undergo inversion to optimize for active luminescent devices, while other blocks maintain original characteristics to ensure compatibility with passive luminescent devices, achieving local optimization throughout the image

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
