OPS Media Stream Offloading for Stable Multi-Stream Display Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional video stream processing methods either burden the display device's CPU or require additional servers, leading to hardware cost increases and poor portability.
Innovation Solution
Utilize an open pluggable specification (OPS) device externally connected to the display device to process sub-media streams, reducing the processing load on the display device without adding extra hardware.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multipath video streams are processed by the display device itself, then the video stream can be displayed directly, but it causes much burden to the CPU of the display device, resulting in stuttering of the video call
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing device between the video stream source and the display device. This intermediary device handles the complex processing of multipath video streams, including decoding, filtering, and rendering operations, thereby relieving the CPU burden of the display device and preventing video call stuttering while ensuring reliable video display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the heavy processing tasks from the display device and relocates them to a separate processing device. Specifically, operations such as video decoding, filter processing, and compositing are taken out from the display device's CPU and performed by the intermediary processing device, reducing the display device's workload and eliminating stuttering issues.
2Device complexity
If multipath video streams are processed by a server, then the processing burden on the display device is reduced, but an additional server is required, which increases hardware cost and has poor portability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the intermediary processing device highly portable and multi-functional. It can be configured as a USB device, docking station, or external processor that connects to various display devices through standard interfaces. The device provides universal video processing capabilities that work across different platforms and scenarios, eliminating the need for dedicated servers while maintaining low hardware costs and high portability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using expensive dedicated server hardware, the patent implements a simplified copying of server-like processing capabilities in a compact, portable form factor. The intermediary device replicates essential video processing functions (decoding, filtering, rendering) that were traditionally performed by servers, but in a cost-effective and portable manner using modern integrated circuits and standard communication protocols.
3Power
If video streams are processed by a cloud server, then processing capacity is sufficient, but it requires additional hardware infrastructure and has poor portability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic processing system where the intermediary device can adapt its processing capacity and configuration based on real-time requirements. The device dynamically adjusts its operational mode, resource allocation, and processing intensity to match the current video stream demands, providing cloud-like processing capacity when needed while maintaining portability and flexibility to be deployed in various locations without fixed infrastructure.
