Solution Overview

Problem

Current signal processing techniques fail to maximize transmission efficiency, especially in complex communication environments, and there is a need for improved methods to efficiently code and decode data for enhanced audio recovery.

Innovation Solution

The method involves grouping data into pilot reference values and difference values through first and internal groupings in the frequency domain, using schemes like Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), Pilot Based Coding (PBC), and Differential Coding (DIFF), to optimize data coding and entropy coding, thereby enhancing transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional signal compression techniques are used, then data can be compressed, but transmission efficiency is not maximized in complex communication environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidadaptation to complex communication environments
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides frequency domain data into multiple groups (first grouping and internal grouping) with different group sizes. This segmentation allows different coding schemes to be applied to different groups, optimizing transmission efficiency for various data characteristics while adapting to complex communication environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically selects coding schemes (PCM, PBC, or DIFF) for different data groups based on their characteristics. This dynamic adaptation enables the system to optimize transmission efficiency for each group while maintaining versatility in complex communication environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If data is grouped into larger groups for coding, then coding efficiency improves, but the complexity of managing different group sizes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidgrouping management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a two-level grouping structure (first grouping and internal grouping) where larger groups are divided into smaller internal groups. This segmentation improves coding efficiency by allowing different coding schemes for different groups while managing complexity through a systematic hierarchical approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies coding schemes selectively to different groups based on their characteristics rather than uniformly to all data. This partial action approach improves coding efficiency for suitable groups while avoiding unnecessary complexity for groups where simpler schemes suffice.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Data coding and entropy coding are performed with interconnection, and grouping is used to enhance coding efficiency. The present invention includes the steps of obtaining a group reference value corresponding to a plurality of data included in one group and a difference value corresponding to the group reference value through first grouping and internal grouping for the first grouping and obtaining the data using the group reference value and the difference value.
