Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing digital video compression standards are used, then video data can be compressed to facilitate transmission and storage, but compression efficiency is insufficient to reduce bandwidth and traffic pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression efficiencyVSAvoidbandwidth and traffic pressure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of intra prediction mode derivation by using reconstructed samples from encoded/decoded blocks instead of traditional reference pictures. This parameter change enables more accurate prediction mode selection, improving compression efficiency and reducing the bandwidth required for video transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the intra prediction mode of a current block is derived based on the intra prediction mode of a reconstructed block. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from previously processed blocks and adapt prediction modes to maximize compression efficiency, thereby reducing bandwidth requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If intra prediction mode is derived based on reconstructed samples, then coding efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidintra prediction mode derivation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by using the reconstructed block's own intra prediction mode to derive the current block's prediction mode. This self-referential approach eliminates the need for complex external reference mechanisms, improving coding efficiency while keeping the derivation logic relatively simple and self-contained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by determining the intra prediction mode of the reconstructed block before processing the current block. This preliminary derivation of the reference block's prediction mode simplifies the overall process, as the current block can directly use the pre-determined mode without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus improving efficiency while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
