Solution Overview

Problem

Existing presentation virtualization technologies suffer from deteriorated readability of texts during image compression, especially when network bandwidth is limited, as they do not classify sub-blocks into images and texts and use different compression methods, leading to increased data transmission costs and reduced text clarity.

Innovation Solution

A virtualization server that divides the screen into sub-blocks and classifies them into image and text sub-blocks, using distinct encoding schemes to encode image sub-blocks with a lossy method and text sub-blocks with a lossless method, thereby reducing data transmission while maintaining text readability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of substance

If a single compression method is used for the entire screen image, then the compression ratio is improved, but the readability of text regions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoidtext readability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different compression methods to different regions of the screen based on their content characteristics. Image regions are compressed using JPEG compression to achieve high compression ratios, while text regions are compressed using lossless compression methods to maintain readability. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing each region according to its specific requirements rather than applying a uniform compression approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the screen image into distinct image regions and text regions before applying compression. By dividing the screen content into these functional segments and processing each segment with appropriate compression algorithms, the system achieves both high overall compression ratios and preserved text readability, resolving the contradiction between compression efficiency and text quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If network bandwidth is broadened to transmit high-quality screens in real time, then the display quality is improved, but the network cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen display qualityVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the compression parameters and methods based on the content type within the screen. By dynamically adjusting compression settings for image versus text regions, the system reduces the total data transmission volume required while maintaining acceptable display quality, thereby resolving the contradiction between display quality and bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of substance

If compression is applied to reduce data transmission, then the network bandwidth usage is reduced, but the text readability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoidtext clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different compression methods to different regions of the screen based on their content characteristics. Image regions are compressed using JPEG compression to achieve high compression ratios, while text regions are compressed using lossless compression methods to maintain readability. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing each region according to its specific requirements rather than applying a uniform compression approach.
