Patent №: 12192983 – Dynamic SSB beam allocation. Systems and methods enable dynamic SSB beam allocation. When a relay device and multiple user devices use a single beam, and the device count exceeds a threshold, a second beam is identified, and some user devices are reassigned to it.

Seunghwan Kim

LG Electronics Assistant VP (Head of Video Coding Standard).

Expert in multimedia compression, processing, and systems. Deep knowledge of video compression and video coding standards (H.264/AVC, HEVC, VVC, etc.). Experienced machine learning expert with strong mathematical background. Experienced project management.

Patent №: 12192524 – Encoding/decoding method for video signal and device therefor. Embodiments provide a video decoding method, including checking for a transform skip, obtaining a transform index if skipped, verifying DCT2 in the transform set, determining the transform region, and performing inverse transforms using specified types.

Patent №: 12192489 – Luma mapping-based video or image coding. The disclosure specifies that an LMCS APS ID value lies within a predetermined range, enabling efficient LMCS procedures, reducing complexity, and improving video/image coding performance.

Patent №: 12192470 – Image/video coding method and device. A video decoding method includes acquiring image information from a bitstream, parsing a first flag for inter-prediction and a second flag for intra-prediction from the picture header, and generating prediction samples for the slices in the current picture based on these flags.

Patent №: 12192468 – Image decoding method using image information comprising TSRC available flag and apparatus therefor. An image decoding method includes acquiring a dependent quantization available flag and determining a transform skip residual coding (TSRC) available flag based on the dependent quantization flag.

Patent №: 12192446 – Filtering-based image coding device and method. Embodiments describe using sub-pictures and virtual boundaries for image coding. Sub-pictures aid in prediction, reconstruction, and filtering, while virtual boundaries filter reconstructed samples. This approach enhances image quality and reduces hardware resource consumption.
