Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each data source transmits multimedia data through separate transmission lines to terminal devices, then data transmission reliability is improved, but transmission cost increases due to increased number of transmission lines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate transmission lines into a single shared transmission line by introducing a central server that receives multimedia data from multiple data sources. The server synthesizes the data and distributes it through one transmission line to multiple terminal devices, thereby reducing the total number of transmission lines while maintaining data transmission reliability through centralized processing and distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between data sources and terminal devices. This intermediary receives data from multiple sources, performs synthesis and processing, then distributes the processed data to terminal devices. The intermediary enables efficient data consolidation and distribution, reducing the need for multiple direct transmission lines while ensuring reliable data delivery.
2Loss of information
If multiple transmission lines are used to transmit multimedia data from multiple data sources, then data transmission completeness is improved, but transmission cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data streams from different data sources into a single synthesized data stream through the server. This synthesis process ensures that all necessary information is consolidated into one comprehensive data flow that can be transmitted through a single transmission line, maintaining data completeness while reducing the number of transmission lines required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs data synthesis and processing in advance at the server before transmission to terminal devices. By pre-processing and consolidating data from multiple sources into a complete synthesized data set, the system ensures that all necessary information is prepared beforehand, allowing complete data transmission through fewer lines without information loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If data is transmitted from multiple data sources through separate lines, then data availability for multiple channels is improved, but transmission cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the server a universal multi-functional platform that handles data reception, synthesis, processing, and distribution for multiple data sources and terminal devices. This universal server enables multi-channel data availability through a single transmission infrastructure, providing versatile data services without requiring separate transmission lines for each channel, thereby reducing transmission costs while maintaining adaptability.
Data Source
AI summary
A multimedia data transmission apparatus and method are provided. In the method, a data receiver receives at least one channel of multimedia data and transmits the received multimedia data to a selector and a data synthesis module. The selector selects target multimedia data from the received multimedia data and transmits the target multimedia data to a data processing module. The data processing module performs a format conversion on the target multimedia data to obtain converted data and transmits the converted data to a data transmitting module. The data synthesis module synthesizes the received multimedia data to obtain synthesized data and transmits the synthesized data to the data transmitting module. The data transmitting module transmits the converted data to a first processing device and transmits the synthesized data to a second processing device.
