Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical computation methods with a large model (deep learning-based neural network) to determine frame types. The large model processes video frames and adjacent frame information to predict optimal frame types (I-frame, P-frame, or B-frame), substituting complex iterative computational algorithms with a trained neural network that provides both accuracy and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a large model as an intermediary between raw video data and frame type determination. This intermediary processes extracted features and adjacent frame information to produce accurate frame type predictions, acting as a mediator that simplifies the overall system while improving performance.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the approach to frame type determination by using a trained large model that outputs probability distributions for different frame types. This parameter-based approach (using prediction probabilities) enables more efficient compression decisions compared to traditional fixed algorithms, improving compression efficiency while managing encoding complexity.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by training the large model in advance on extensive video data. This pre-training phase captures complex patterns and relationships, allowing the model to make accurate frame type predictions during actual encoding without requiring complex real-time computations. The heavy lifting is done beforehand, enabling fast and accurate inference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a large model that has learned and copied patterns from training data to make predictions on new video frames. Instead of performing complex analysis on each frame, the system copies learned patterns from the training phase to rapidly determine frame types, maintaining high accuracy while improving processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A method for determining a frame type based on a large model, includes: obtaining a video frame sequence from video data; obtaining a feature of each video frame by performing image feature extraction on each of video frames in the video frame sequence; obtaining a feature similarity by comparing each video frame with an adjacent video frame in the video frame sequence; and determining a frame type of each video frame in the video frame sequence based on the feature similarity between each video frame and the adjacent video frame.
