1Productivity

If conventional signal processing techniques are used for audio and video data compression, then basic compression is achieved, but transmission efficiency cannot be maximized in complex communication environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing scheme complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the signal processing into distinct functional modules: entropy decoding unit, data decoding unit, and audio signal recovery unit. Each unit handles specific aspects of the compression and decompression process, allowing for optimized processing of different data types (control data, audio data) through specialized coding schemes while maintaining overall system efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic selection of coding schemes based on data characteristics. The system adaptively chooses between different entropy coding schemes and data coding schemes depending on the type of data being processed (e.g., control data versus audio data), enabling optimal transmission efficiency for varying communication conditions without requiring a fixed complex structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If data is compressed with high compression rates, then transmission bandwidth is reduced, but transmission efficiency and data recovery quality need enhancement

Engineering Contradiction:
