Provide an integrated solution of "technical plan + patent protection" for the high-end technology field

2025-11-19
I. Case Introduction 
In the face of the serious commercial risk that the self-developed frame interpolation algorithm of the intelligent terminal enterprise exceeded the deployment time limit on the terminal NPU, potentially affecting the timely launch of flagship mobile phones, the ZYIP team deeply participated in the technical reconfiguration and proposed an innovative lightweight architecture. While achieving performance compliance, they completed the core patent layout, providing dual guarantees of technology and intellectual property for the product launch. 


II. Case Details 
1. Customer Type/Industry:
A global leading provider of intelligent terminal and AI algorithm solutions / Consumer electronics and artificial intelligence sector 


2. Description of customer pain points/problems: 
Core technical bottleneck: The self-developed frame interpolation algorithm has a complex model structure, and after deployment on the terminal NPU, the inference time is as high as 22ms, far exceeding the performance requirement of real-time video processing (≤8ms). The technical solution faces a fundamental challenge. 
(2) Time pressure for launch: This function is linked to the release schedule of the next-generation flagship phones. There is a definite launch time window. If technical issues cannot be resolved quickly, it will lead to product delays and the loss of market opportunities. 
(3) Patent barrier requirement: The market competition is intense. To establish a differentiated technological barrier through high-quality patents, it is necessary to prevent the core optimized technologies from being imitated. 


3. Solution/Process: 
(1) Deep technical exploration and target determination: The ZYIP attorney and the R&D team conducted multiple rounds of intense technical dissection, accurately identifying the three main causes of redundancy in the computing graph, low operator matching degree, and memory bandwidth bottleneck. They jointly set "The end-to-end processing time of the NPU ≤ 8ms" as the rigid target. 
(2) Competitive Scanning and Innovation Guidance: Conduct simultaneous global patent searches, analyze 17 highly relevant comparative documents, identify the common flaws in existing solutions, and provide reverse verification and guidance for the direction of innovation. 
(3) Collaborative Innovation and Strategy Focus: The ZYIP attorney proposed an integrated innovation architecture consisting of "parameter redefinition + operator fusion + block caching" within 24 hours. This resulted in a 62% reduction in computational load and the actual execution time was optimized to 7.3ms. Based on this, the patent layout strategy was focused on the core value point of "a lightweight model reconfiguration method for NPU". 


4. Results/Data: 
(Technical Performance Breakthrough): Successfully reduced the inference time of the model NPU from 22ms to 7.3ms, exceeding the target of 8ms and meeting the commercial requirements. 
(2) Project timeliness guarantee: All relevant patent applications were submitted before the freeze of the customer's product functions, ensuring zero delay in the launch schedule. 
(3) Customer's High Appreciation: The customer's algorithm team specially wrote a letter to express their praise, fully affirming the significant contribution of the ZYIP team to the technical reengineering, as well as their professional value which combines innovative technical capabilities with patent layout thinking. 


III. Case Evaluation 
This case goes beyond the boundaries of traditional intellectual property services, demonstrating the profound service capabilities of ZYIP in providing an integrated solution of "technical plan + patent protection" in the high-end technology field. The ZYIP team not only guides technological innovation with a patent mindset, but also directly participates in overcoming core performance bottlenecks, synchronizing the construction of technological breakthroughs with intellectual property barriers, and truly becoming an indispensable strategic partner for customers in the high-end product competition.
