Solution Overview

Problem

Current video transmission technologies using physical wires are limited by their transmission format, which restricts the high-definition video resolution required for virtual reality applications, leading to potential distortion due to compression when trying to adapt non-compatible aspect ratios.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that segment and reorganize high-definition videos to achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio, allowing for efficient transmission through physical wires without compromising video quality, using a video processing device to combine and adjust original videos from multiple camera sources into a format compatible with existing high-resolution transmission standards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If high-definition video with non-16:9 aspect ratio is transmitted through physical wire, then video resolution is improved, but transmission compatibility deteriorates due to format limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo resolutionVSAvoidtransmission compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The video processing device segments the high-definition video signal into multiple component signals (luminance signal and chrominance signals) that can be transmitted separately through the physical wire interface, allowing the interface to handle standard formats while preserving high-definition content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The video processing device acts as an intermediary between the high-definition video source and the physical wire transmission interface, converting the video signal into a format compatible with the interface specifications while maintaining the original high-definition quality through proper signal decomposition and encoding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If video compression is applied to adapt non-compatible aspect ratios, then transmission compatibility is improved, but video quality deteriorates due to distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission compatibilityVSAvoidvideo quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the essential video information (luminance and chrominance components) from the high-definition video signal and transmits only these compressed components through the physical wire, eliminating the need for distortion-causing aspect ratio compression while preserving video quality through efficient component separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If video signal is converted to match physical wire format, then transmission compatibility is improved, but bandwidth utilization deteriorates due to format restrictions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission compatibilityVSAvoidbandwidth utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The video processing device applies different processing treatments to different components of the video signal - the luminance signal is processed with higher precision while chrominance signals are processed with appropriate compression, optimizing bandwidth utilization by allocating transmission resources according to the specific quality requirements of each signal component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
