Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video and audio signal analysis devices using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and DDR memory for processing and storage are costly due to the need for special cables to maintain high transmission speeds.

Innovation Solution

A video and audio signal processing chip with a signal detection module, storing unit, and controller that detects, stores, and transmits video and audio signals, integrated into a System on Chip (SoC) configuration, reducing costs by eliminating the need for special cables.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If FPGA and DDR memory are used for signal processing and storage, then signal processing capability is improved, but device cost increases due to special cables

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing capabilityVSAvoiddevice cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the signal detection module, storing unit, and controller into a single System on Chip (SoC) device. This merging of previously separate components (FPGA and DDR memory) into one integrated chip eliminates the need for external connections via special cables, thereby reducing device cost while maintaining signal processing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate components (FPGA and DDR memory) are used, then signal processing flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing flexibilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional components into a single SoC device, integrating the signal detection module, storing unit, and controller on one chip. This integration reduces device complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate components and their interconnections, while the internal architecture maintains signal processing flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
