Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If video data is decoded into multiple video frames for feature extraction, then feature extraction accuracy is improved, but storage space consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction accuracyVSAvoidstorage space
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential feature information from video frames rather than storing and processing complete decoded frames. By extracting features such as motion vectors, key points, and semantic information, the system reduces storage requirements while maintaining feature extraction accuracy for video slicing tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the video data into groups of pictures (GOPs) and processes features at the frame level rather than handling entire decoded video streams. This segmentation allows selective extraction and storage of only necessary feature data, reducing overall storage space while preserving accuracy for boundary detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If video frames are decoded and features are extracted for slicing, then slicing accuracy is improved, but decoding time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslicing accuracyVSAvoiddecoding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction on intra-coding frames and motion compensation information during the encoding process rather than waiting for complete decoding. This preliminary action enables the system to prepare feature data in advance, reducing the time required for subsequent slicing operations while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces motion compensation information as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between encoded data and final frame features. By using motion compensation information to reconstruct frame features without fully decoding the video, the system achieves slicing accuracy while significantly reducing decoding time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If features are extracted from all input frames for boundary prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveboundary prediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by extracting and processing features selectively based on the specific requirements of boundary detection. Instead of uniformly extracting features from all frames, the system focuses computational resources on frames and regions where boundary information is most relevant, reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses partial action by extracting features from a subset of critical frames (such as intra-coding frames and key predictive frames) rather than all frames. This partial feature extraction approach provides sufficient information for accurate boundary prediction while significantly reducing the computational burden compared to processing every frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Quantity of substance

If redundant feature extraction is performed during slicing, then feature completeness is improved, but processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature completenessVSAvoidslicing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent discards redundant feature extraction operations by leveraging motion compensation information to derive frame features directly from encoded data. Instead of re-extracting features from all input frames, the system recovers necessary feature information through motion compensation, eliminating redundant computations while maintaining feature completeness for accurate slicing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering
