Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single parameter set is used for all block shapes in prediction sample generation, then the device complexity is reduced, but the coding efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidparameter set management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different parameter sets (first parameter set and second parameter set) for different block shapes (square/vertical vs. horizontal). This allows the prediction sample generation to be optimized locally for each block shape type, improving coding efficiency without requiring a single complex parameter set to handle all cases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters (parameter sets) based on the block shape characteristics. By selecting different parameter sets according to whether the block is square/vertical or horizontal, the system adapts the prediction methodology to match the local characteristics of each block, thereby improving overall coding efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If block-shaped prediction is used without shape-specific optimization, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision of prediction accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprediction processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes different parts of the prediction process have different functions by applying shape-specific parameter sets. Square/vertical blocks use one parameter set while horizontal blocks use another, ensuring that each block type receives optimized prediction treatment matched to its geometric characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics by making the prediction process adaptive to block shape. The system dynamically selects appropriate parameter sets based on the current block's shape characteristics, allowing the prediction methodology to flexibly adjust to different block types rather than using a static approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If neighbor block prediction information is used without shape consideration, then the signaling efficiency is reduced, but the prediction accuracy improves

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsignaling efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting different parameter sets based on the shape of the current block when using neighbor block prediction information. This shape-aware approach ensures that prediction accuracy is optimized for each block type while maintaining efficient signaling through targeted parameter selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
