Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If simple streaming media transmission is used, then device complexity is reduced, but timeliness and fluency of audio/video interaction deteriorate in complex network environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission system complexityVSAvoidaudio/video timeliness and fluency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of video frame rates based on real-time network conditions. The receiving end monitors network status and sends feedback to the sending end, which then adjusts the video encoding parameters dynamically. This allows the system to adapt to changing network conditions, maintaining audio/video fluency without requiring overly complex predetermined transmission systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the receiving end monitors received video frames and network conditions, then sends feedback information back to the sending end. This feedback loop enables real-time adjustment of transmission parameters, improving audio/video timeliness and fluency in complex network environments without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If video frame rate is increased to improve fluency, then audio/video fluency is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio/video fluencyVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts video frame rates based on real-time network conditions. When network conditions are good, higher frame rates are used to improve fluency. When network conditions deteriorate, the frame rate is reduced to conserve bandwidth. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between maintaining fluency and managing bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes video encoding parameters (frame rate, resolution, code rate) based on network conditions. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system can optimize the balance between audio/video fluency and network bandwidth consumption, ensuring high quality transmission when possible and efficient transmission when bandwidth is limited.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If network optimization is implemented to improve timeliness, then audio/video timeliness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio/video timelinessVSAvoidnetwork optimization system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the network optimization function into separate modules: network condition monitoring at the receiving end, feedback transmission, and encoding adjustment at the sending end. This segmentation allows each component to focus on a specific task, improving timeliness without requiring a monolithic complex system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving end autonomously monitors network conditions and generates feedback without requiring complex centralized control. The sending end automatically adjusts encoding parameters based on received feedback. This self-service approach improves timeliness while keeping system complexity manageable through distributed decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An audio/video interaction low-delay transmission method includes the following steps: a driving receiving end maintaining long connection communication with a sending end by means of a TCP, and the receiving end sending a video frame feature to the sending end; sending, by the sending end to the receiving end, a video frame satisfying the video frame feature, and accumulating the number of video frames obtained by the receiving end within a plurality of continuous preset time periods; determining whether the number of video frames obtained within a preset number of preset time periods within the plurality of continuous preset time periods satisfies a preset range, so that a video code rate is adjusted in time to ensure real-time performance and fluency.
