Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single compression path is used to compress data, then the device complexity is reduced, but the transmission latency increases when multiple types of data need to be transmitted simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression system structureVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the compression system into multiple independent compression circuits (first compression circuit and second compression circuit), each handling different data types separately. This segmentation allows parallel processing of image data and other data types, reducing transmission latency while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-dimensional sequential compression path to a multi-dimensional parallel compression architecture. By adding the dimension of parallelism with multiple compression circuits operating simultaneously, the system reduces time latency without proportionally increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of time

If multiple compression circuits are used to compress multiple types of data in parallel, then the transmission latency is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission latencyVSAvoidcompression system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs compression circuits that can handle different data types through standardized interfaces and control mechanisms. The first compression circuit handles image data while the second handles other data types, but both follow similar operational patterns, allowing the system to achieve parallel processing capability without proportionally increasing control complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic data type identification and routing mechanisms that adaptively direct different data types to appropriate compression circuits. This dynamic allocation optimizes parallel processing efficiency while managing device complexity through intelligent resource allocation rather than static rigid architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If data is compressed sequentially through a single path, then the device structure is simplified, but the productivity of data transmission decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression system structureVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission pipeline into parallel compression circuits, each dedicated to specific data types. This segmentation enables simultaneous compression of multiple data streams, significantly improving data transmission productivity while maintaining clear structural organization through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuous operation of multiple compression circuits in parallel, eliminating idle time that occurs in sequential processing. By keeping all compression resources continuously engaged with different data types, the system maximizes data transmission productivity without requiring complex coordination overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
