Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If high-resolution video data is processed directly, then video quality is maintained, but calculation complexity and processing delay increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo qualityVSAvoidprocessing delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the video processing task into multiple stages: first extracting key frames at lower resolution for rapid algorithmic processing, then selectively applying processing results to the original high-resolution video. This segmentation allows time-critical operations to be performed on reduced data while maintaining final output quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary processing on extracted key frames before processing the complete high-resolution video. By pre-computing processing parameters, detecting features, or generating processing instructions on the downsampled key frames, the system prepares guidance data that accelerates subsequent full-resolution processing and reduces overall delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If high-resolution video data is processed directly, then processing accuracy is maintained, but computing resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing accuracyVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video processing into two phases: (1) extracting and processing downsampled key frames using computationally intensive algorithms to determine processing parameters or detect features, and (2) applying these pre-determined parameters to the full-resolution video using optimized operations. This reduces total computational load while preserving processing accuracy on the final output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified copy of the video data in the form of downsampled key frames for preliminary processing. These key frames serve as proxies that capture essential visual information at reduced computational cost, allowing the system to derive processing instructions without repeatedly processing the full-resolution data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If data volume is reduced through preprocessing, then processing efficiency improves, but information loss may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoiddata information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing on downsampled key frames to extract processing parameters, detect features, or generate processing instructions before applying these to the full-resolution video. This preliminary action on reduced data guides subsequent processing without discarding the original high-resolution information needed for final output quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces downsampled key frames as an intermediary representation that mediates between the original high-resolution video and the processing algorithms. These intermediaries capture essential visual characteristics for parameter extraction or feature detection while preserving the option to apply results to the complete high-resolution data, thus preventing permanent information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
