Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transmission systems struggle to accurately transmit Region Of Interest (ROI) image data when the imaging device is moved, leading to difficulties in maintaining appropriate data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A communication system comprising a transmitter and receiver that utilize detection and generation sections to detect and generate ROI image data based on motion information, allowing for the extraction and transmission of ROI data considering the movement of the transmitter.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If ROI image data is transmitted without considering transmitter movement, then data transmission volume is reduced, but the accuracy of ROI transmission deteriorates when the transmitter moves

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoidROI transmission accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by detecting motion information before transmitting ROI image data. The detection section identifies movement of the transmitter in advance, and the generation section pre-calculates corrected ROI information based on this motion data, ensuring accurate ROI transmission even when the transmitter moves during data capture or transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the entire image is transmitted instead of ROI, then transmission accuracy is maintained, but transmission system load increases and may cause system failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage transmission accuracyVSAvoidtransmission system capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary ROI image data from the entire image for transmission, rather than transmitting the complete image. The detection section identifies the specific ROI region, and the generation section extracts and transmits only this portion, significantly reducing data volume and transmission system load while maintaining the accuracy of the transmitted content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If ROI is transmitted assuming stationary imaging device, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but adaptability to moving transmitter deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidadaptability to transmitter movement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamics by making the ROI transmission adaptive to transmitter movement conditions. The detection section dynamically detects motion information, and the generation section dynamically adjusts the ROI extraction and transmission parameters based on the detected movement, allowing the system to maintain both transmission efficiency and adaptability to varying transmitter states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
