Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional media resource management methods result in significant waste of resources due to inefficient allocation of encoding and decoding resources, as they are bound together and do not account for varying algorithm complexities and service-specific requirements, leading to underutilization of media processing equipment.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines the algorithm complexity of media resources required by a service and allocates resources accordingly, allowing for dynamic allocation based on the specific needs of each service, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If encoding resources and decoding resources of the same audio algorithm are bound together for unified management, then resource allocation is simplified, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates due to waste when services do not require both encoding and decoding resources simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation managementVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the bound encoding and decoding resources into independent allocable units. Instead of managing them as a single bound resource, the system separates their allocation processes, allowing independent assignment based on actual service requirements. This enables services to receive only the specific resources they need without being forced to allocate both encoding and decoding resources together, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency while maintaining simplified management through centralized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If channel resources are calculated according to the audio algorithm format with the highest algorithm complexity, then all services can be supported, but resource allocation becomes inefficient when services use simpler algorithm formats

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice compatibilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by matching resource allocation to the specific algorithm complexity requirements of each service. Instead of uniformly allocating resources based on the highest complexity format across all services, the system dynamically determines the algorithm complexity of each service and allocates channel resources accordingly. This means services using simpler formats receive fewer resources while services requiring higher complexity receive appropriate resources, optimizing overall resource consumption while maintaining support for all service types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If DTMF detection resources are always allocated with encoding/decoding resources, then comprehensive service support is ensured, but resource waste increases when DTMF detection is not required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice completenessVSAvoidmedia resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts DTMF detection resource allocation from the mandatory bundle with encoding/decoding resources. The system separately identifies whether a service requires DTMF detection functionality and allocates these resources independently based on actual service type and requirements. This extraction allows services that do not need DTMF detection to operate without consuming associated resources, eliminating waste while ensuring that services requiring DTMF detection receive the necessary resources for complete functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
