Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional video information processing technology is used to determine video similarity, then the processing can be performed on large amounts of video information, but the accuracy of similarity recognition is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo similarity recognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video frames into multiple regions (foreground, background, static, dynamic regions) and processes each region separately to extract relevant features. This segmentation approach enables accurate similarity recognition by focusing on meaningful content regions while ignoring irrelevant areas, thereby improving measurement precision without excessive complexity increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts key features from specific video regions (such as foreground objects and dynamic regions) while discarding irrelevant information like static backgrounds. This extraction principle improves accuracy by concentrating computational resources on the most discriminative features that actually contribute to video similarity determination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If semantic understanding of images is implemented to improve video similarity recognition, then the accuracy improves, but the computational complexity and processing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo similarity recognition accuracyVSAvoidsemantic understanding difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces region classification as an intermediary step between raw video frames and similarity computation. By classifying regions into foreground/background and static/dynamic categories, the system creates intermediate representations that capture semantic meaning without requiring full semantic understanding, thus improving accuracy while managing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing strategies to different regions of video frames based on their semantic importance. Foreground and dynamic regions receive more detailed analysis while static backgrounds are processed differently or excluded, allowing the system to achieve good semantic understanding where needed without uniformly high complexity across the entire frame

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
