Superframe Compression for Multi-Frame Video Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently transporting multiple frames of video data between different devices, particularly when using multiple cameras, as it requires substantial time to transport frames one at a time and is difficult to transport multiple frames simultaneously without adding new hardware interfaces.
Innovation Solution
The system compresses multiple frames of image data into a single superframe, which is then transported between devices. Upon receipt, the superframe is decompressed into multiple frames, allowing for efficient display and storage of the image data without the need for new interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If multiple frames are transported one at a time between devices, then the existing interface can be used, but the transportation time becomes substantial
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple video frames into a single superframe structure that can be transported simultaneously over the existing interface. This merging approach allows multiple frames to be conveyed in one transmission operation, dramatically reducing the total transportation time while maintaining compatibility with existing interfaces without requiring new hardware
2Productivity
If multiple frames are transported simultaneously, then the transportation time is reduced, but new hardware interfaces must be added
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple frames into a single superframe that can be transmitted over existing interfaces without requiring new hardware. This approach achieves simultaneous transport of multiple frames while maintaining compatibility with current interface standards, avoiding the need to add new components or hardware interfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The superframe structure is designed to be universal and compatible with existing video transmission interfaces. By making the solution work with current interfaces rather than requiring new specialized hardware, the patent achieves multi-frame simultaneous transport without increasing device complexity or requiring additional hardware components
3Quantity of substance
If multiple frames are transported simultaneously using existing interface, then the bandwidth is insufficient, but adding new interface increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple frames into a single superframe transmission unit, allowing the existing interface to handle increased data throughput by efficiently packing and transmitting multiple frames together. This approach maximizes the utilization of existing bandwidth capacity without requiring additional hardware interfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the organizational structure of video data from individual frame transmissions to bundled superframe transmissions. By altering how data is packaged and transmitted rather than changing the physical interface, the system achieves higher effective data transport capacity using the existing interface bandwidth more efficiently

AI summary
In one embodiment, a system includes a first device rendering image data, a second device storing the image data, and a display panel that displays the image data stored in the memory. The first device renders multiple frames of the image data, compresses the multiple frames into a single superframe, and transports the single superframe. The second device receives the single superframe, decompresses the single superframe into the multiple frames of image data, and stores the image data on a memory of the second device.
