Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If traditional data compression technologies (DCT, DFT, DWT, entropy coding) are used with high compression rates, then data transmission resource consumption is reduced, but data transmission performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission resource consumptionVSAvoiddata transmission performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the dictionary adaptive and updateable. The dictionary is initially constructed from training data and then dynamically updated based on feedback from compression performance evaluation. This allows the compression system to adapt to different data characteristics, resolving the contradiction between compression rate and transmission performance by optimizing the dictionary for specific data patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters by adjusting dictionary subsets based on compression performance. Different subsets of the dictionary are selected and updated depending on the evaluation results of compression operations. This parameter adjustment allows the system to optimize compression rates while maintaining transmission performance, directly addressing the technical contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If traditional data compression technologies are used with low compression rates, then data transmission performance is maintained, but transmission resource overheads increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission performanceVSAvoidtransmission resource overheads
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes compression parameters by evaluating different dictionary subsets and selecting those that achieve the best compression performance. This parameter optimization allows the system to maintain high transmission performance while achieving higher compression rates, thereby reducing transmission resource overheads.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where compression performance is evaluated and used to update the dictionary. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from compression results and continuously improve compression efficiency, maintaining transmission performance while reducing resource overheads through optimized compression parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If complete dictionary update information is transmitted, then compression accuracy is improved, but wireless transmission resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression accuracyVSAvoidwireless transmission resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary subset update information from the complete dictionary update. Instead of transmitting entire dictionary updates, it identifies and transmits only the specific subset information that needs updating based on compression performance evaluation. This extraction principle reduces transmission resource consumption while maintaining compression accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the dictionary into multiple subsets and updates only the relevant segments rather than the entire dictionary. This segmentation allows selective transmission of update information for specific subsets, reducing wireless transmission resource consumption while ensuring compression accuracy is maintained through targeted updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Measurement precision

If dictionary size is increased to improve compression performance, then compression accuracy improves, but computing resource consumption increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the large dictionary into multiple smaller subsets, allowing selective updating and processing. This segmentation reduces the computing burden by enabling the system to work with smaller, manageable subsets rather than processing the entire large dictionary, thereby reducing computing resource consumption while maintaining compression accuracy through selective subset updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by updating only the necessary dictionary subsets rather than the complete dictionary. Based on compression performance evaluation, only specific subsets are updated, which reduces computing resource consumption compared to updating the entire dictionary, while still maintaining compression accuracy through targeted improvements in critical subsets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
