Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution and high-quality image data are transmitted using existing wired or wireless wideband lines, then image quality is improved, but transmission costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidtransmission cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the essential visual information needed for high-quality image reproduction, separating critical data from redundant data. This allows high image quality to be achieved while transmitting fewer bits, thereby reducing transmission costs and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of information density by using advanced compression algorithms that achieve higher compression ratios. This allows the same visual quality to be transmitted with fewer bits, resolving the contradiction between image quality and transmission cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution and high-quality image data are stored using existing storage media, then image quality is improved, but storage costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidstorage cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and stores only the essential visual information needed for high-quality image reproduction, separating critical data from redundant data. This allows high image quality to be achieved while storing fewer bits, thereby reducing storage costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of information density by using advanced compression algorithms that achieve higher compression ratios. This allows the same visual quality to be stored with fewer bits, resolving the contradiction between image quality and storage cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If operating point list information is not clearly defined in media file structure, then file format flexibility is improved, but processing reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile format flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining the structure and content requirements for operating point lists in the media file format specification. This ensures that processing reliability is maintained while preserving file format flexibility, as the framework is established in advance but allows for specific implementations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer of standardized metadata structures that mediate between the flexible file format and the reliable processing requirements. This intermediary structure ensures that operating point information is consistently formatted and accessible, improving reliability without restricting format flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
