Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If video data is transmitted without compression or with basic compression, then transmission speed and clarity are maintained, but network consumption increases and data loss occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo transmission reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The video data transmission process is segmented into multiple layers: original video data is divided into video segments, which are then encoded into coded video segments. These are further processed through segmentation and reconstruction modules that create multiple data streams with different levels of detail. This segmentation allows the system to transmit essential video information efficiently while reducing overall network consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes transmission parameters based on network conditions and video importance. Different video segments are assigned different priority levels and compression ratios. The segmentation module adjusts parameters such as data block size, transmission timing, and reconstruction algorithms to optimize the balance between transmission reliability and network resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of energy

If video data is compressed to reduce network consumption, then network efficiency improves, but video quality and completeness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork consumptionVSAvoidvideo data quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary segmentation and prioritization of video data before transmission. Important video segments are identified and prepared in advance with higher priority markers and less aggressive compression. This preliminary action ensures that critical video information maintains quality while less important data can be compressed more aggressively, overall reducing network consumption without sacrificing essential video quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary modules including a segmentation module, reconstruction module, and fill data generation module that act as mediators between the original video data and the transmitted data stream. These intermediaries process the video data through multiple stages of compression and reconstruction, using intelligent algorithms to preserve important visual information while discarding redundant data, thus maintaining video quality while reducing network consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If video segments are transmitted in original format, then video quality is preserved, but transmission time and network resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo qualityVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts video segment compression and transmission priorities based on real-time network conditions and video content analysis. The segmentation module continuously evaluates which video segments require higher quality transmission and which can be compressed more aggressively. This dynamic approach optimizes the balance between video quality preservation and transmission time reduction, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions without sacrificing essential video quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Reliability

If all video segments are transmitted with equal priority, then completeness is maintained, but critical information may be lost in poor network conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo transmission completenessVSAvoidtransmission control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality differentiation by assigning different priority levels and quality requirements to different video segments based on their importance. Critical video segments (such as key frames or important scenes) are marked with higher priority and transmitted with greater reliability guarantees, while less important segments use standard compression and transmission protocols. This local quality approach ensures that critical information is preserved even in poor network conditions without requiring complex control mechanisms for the entire video stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
