Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single transform is applied to all blocks, then device complexity is reduced, but transform efficiency and compression performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransform processing complexityVSAvoidtransform efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the transform processing by dividing transform units into different types (first type and second type) based on block characteristics such as size and prediction mode. Different inverse transform algorithms are applied to different types, allowing optimized processing for each category rather than using a single generic transform for all blocks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention dynamically selects the appropriate inverse transform algorithm (first inverse transform or second inverse transform) based on the characteristics of each transform unit. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to choose the most efficient transform for each specific block, improving overall transform efficiency while maintaining manageable device complexity through systematic classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution video content is processed, then video quality is improved, but memory storage and processing power requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo qualityVSAvoidmemory storage and processing power
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies different processing strategies to different regions and block types within the video content. By classifying transform units into first and second types based on local characteristics (block size, prediction mode), the system applies optimized inverse transforms tailored to each region's specific requirements, achieving high video quality while reducing overall processing power consumption compared to uniform high-fidelity processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
