Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data encoding methods in TFT-LCD products result in slow data transmission due to the need to encode all data packages, leading to increased response time and image quality issues.

Innovation Solution

A data encoding method that identifies data streams not meeting a preset standard, performs arithmetic operations to generate a new data stream meeting the standard, and adds additional bits to ensure compliance, thereby reducing complexity and improving transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If all data packages are encoded using traditional encoding schemes, then clock synchronization accuracy is improved, but data transmission speed deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclock synchronization accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission process into two distinct paths: a first data stream that undergoes traditional encoding to ensure clock synchronization, and a second data stream that bypasses encoding for high-speed transmission. This segmentation allows different portions of data to be handled according to their specific requirements, resolving the contradiction between synchronization accuracy and transmission speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different quality levels of encoding processing to different data streams based on their specific needs. The first data stream receives full encoding processing for high reliability, while the second data stream receives minimal or no encoding for high speed. This local differentiation of processing quality resolves the contradiction by optimizing each stream independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If all data packages are encoded, then clock synchronization is maintained, but response time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclock synchronizationVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the data stream into multiple parallel streams, where only the first data stream undergoes encoding processing while the second data stream is transmitted directly. This segmentation reduces the total encoding time required, thereby decreasing response time while maintaining clock synchronization through the encoded first stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of encoding all data packages (excessive action), the patent encodes only the first data stream (partial action), which is sufficient to maintain clock synchronization. The second data stream is transmitted without encoding, eliminating unnecessary processing time and reducing overall response time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If all data packages are encoded, then data transmission reliability is improved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data transmission into two parallel channels: an encoded first data stream that ensures reliability and a non-encoded second data stream that maximizes efficiency. By transmitting both streams simultaneously, the system achieves both high reliability (through the encoded stream) and high efficiency (through the non-encoded stream), resolving the contradiction between these two parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the processing parameters applied to different data streams: the first data stream undergoes encoding transformation while the second data stream maintains its original format. This parameter differentiation allows the system to optimize both reliability (via encoding) and efficiency (via direct transmission), resolving the contradiction between these opposing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a data encoding method, a device, and a storage medium. In the present application, by acquiring a first data stream that does not meet a preset standard and recording the first data stream as a data stream to be assigned, performing an arithmetic operation on the first data stream in the data stream to be assigned to generate a second data stream that meets the preset standard, and adding a third preset number of data bits to the data stream that meets the preset standard to obtain the second data stream, the data stream that meets the preset standard can be screened out, and only the data stream that does not meet the preset standard is encoded, which reduces complexity of data calculation and improves efficiency of data transmission.
