Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional video data processing system is used, then specific information can be analyzed for a single purpose, but the system cannot handle multiple channels simultaneously and requires structural modifications for new video channels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability to handle multiple channelsVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides video data processing into separate modules: video receiving units for different channels, a central routing server, and multiple video analyzing servers. Each channel's video data is processed independently by allocated analyzing servers, allowing the system to handle multiple channels simultaneously without requiring overall structural modification when adding new channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The routing server and video analyzing servers are designed as universal components that can handle various types of video data from different channels. The routing server universally routes video data based on channel identification information, and the analyzing servers can process video data from any channel, making the system adaptable to multiple channels without channel-specific dedicated infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If video data from multiple channels is processed simultaneously, then more comprehensive analysis is achieved, but the system lacks efficient search capabilities for analyzed data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo data processing capacityVSAvoidsearch capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating and storing metadata for each video data segment before actual search operations. The routing server creates metadata including channel identification information, object recognition results, and time stamps, which are stored in association with the video data. This preliminary metadata generation enables efficient search operations without affecting the video data processing capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If a routing server allocates video data to specific analyzing servers based on video characteristics, then recognition efficiency increases, but the system requires sophisticated routing logic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject recognition accuracyVSAvoidrouting logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The routing server implements local quality by allocating video data to analyzing servers based on specific characteristics of the video data such as channel type, object category, and time of day. Different analyzing servers can be optimized for different types of video analysis, and the routing server directs appropriate video data to the most suitable server, improving recognition accuracy without requiring all servers to handle all types of video data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
