Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in transmitting video data and audio data from multiple devices to a mobile platform in real time without delay, particularly due to encoding and decoding processes that cause delays in real-time broadcasting.

Innovation Solution

An image processing apparatus and method that includes a main device capable of capturing video and audio data, connected to subdevices via wireless communication, allowing for direct device-to-device communication without a router, enabling real-time conversion, display, and transmission of video data to a mobile platform, with features like watermark insertion and encoding for efficient data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If video data is transmitted through traditional encoding and decoding processes, then data can be processed and transmitted, but transmission delay increases and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission delayVSAvoidreal-time performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the traditional encoding and decoding processes from the video transmission path. By using device-to-device communication where subdevices transmit raw or minimally processed video data directly to the main device, the system eliminates the time-consuming encoding/decoding cycles that normally occur, thereby reducing transmission delay while maintaining real-time performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a direct wireless communication channel as an intermediary between subdevices and the main device, bypassing traditional routing through encoders/decoders. This direct transmission path allows video data to flow without the intermediate processing steps that cause delays, achieving both low latency and real-time reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If video data from multiple devices is transmitted through a router, then data routing is simplified, but transmission delay increases and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting complexityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transmission network into direct peer-to-peer connections between subdevices and the main device, eliminating the need for a central router. Each subdevice establishes an independent wireless link directly to the main device, simplifying the routing structure while reducing transmission delay through direct communication paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If video data is displayed on multiple display regions simultaneously, then user interface flexibility improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the spatial dimension of the display by dividing it into multiple distinct display regions. Each region independently displays video data from different subdevices, allowing the system to handle multiple video streams simultaneously without increasing processing complexity. The spatial separation of display regions enables parallel visualization of multiple video sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
