Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for transmitting video signals between image processors face challenges in ensuring synchronization, leading to potential split displays and non-uniform pictures due to separate data channels for video and configuration information, which are costly and difficult to manage.

Innovation Solution

Embedding configuration data in the previous invalid intervals of video signal frames and transmitting them through a single data channel, ensuring the configuration data reaches the receiving end before the associated frame data, allowing for synchronized processing and avoiding split displays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate data transmission channels are used for video signal and configuration information, then the transmission of both signals can be achieved, but the hardware cost increases and synchronization becomes difficult to ensure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynchronization of signal transmissionsVSAvoidnumber of data transmission channels
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the transmission of video signals and configuration information into a single data transmission channel. Configuration information is embedded within the video signal transmission channel, eliminating the need for separate channels and reducing hardware complexity while maintaining reliable synchronization between video data and configuration parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting configuration information in advance within the same data channel as the video signal. The configuration data is embedded and transmitted before the corresponding video frame data, ensuring that the receiving end has the necessary configuration parameters ready before processing the video data, thus achieving synchronization without requiring separate channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If configuration information is transmitted separately, then it can reach the receiving end, but it may arrive during video frame transmission causing split display and non-uniform pictures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of picture displayVSAvoidtiming of configuration data delivery
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent ensures configuration information is delivered in advance by embedding it in the video signal stream before the corresponding frame data. The receiving end extracts and processes configuration parameters before they are needed for video frame processing, preventing split displays and ensuring uniform picture quality throughout the transmission process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If a single data transmission channel is used, then hardware cost is reduced, but ensuring synchronization between video signal and configuration data becomes challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of data transmission channelsVSAvoidsynchronization of signal transmissions
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By transmitting configuration information in advance within the same data channel, the patent ensures that the receiving end has configuration parameters ready before video frame processing begins. This preliminary delivery mechanism maintains synchronization reliability while using a single transmission channel, eliminating the need for complex multi-channel synchronization protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
