Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for determining the abnormal physical condition of a target person, such as motion sickness, face challenges in accuracy due to environmental variations like individual differences and lighting conditions.

Innovation Solution

An abnormal physical condition determination system that extracts feature quantities from images of the target person, accumulates these as time series data, calculates relationships between the features, and determines abnormal conditions based on these relationships.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If feature quantities are directly utilized to determine the condition of the target person, then the determination process is simple, but the accuracy is reduced due to environmental variations such as individual differences and lighting conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetermination process complexityVSAvoidcondition determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by accumulating feature quantities as time series data before making a determination. This allows the system to gather sufficient information over time and calculate relationships between multiple feature quantities, thereby improving determination accuracy while managing complexity through structured preprocessing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by transitioning from using single feature quantities directly to calculating relationships between multiple feature quantities. This parameter transformation enables the system to overcome environmental variations by considering multiple dimensions of data, thus improving accuracy without excessive complexity increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple feature quantities are accumulated as time series data and relationships are calculated, then the determination accuracy is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecondition determination accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The accumulation of feature quantities as time series data serves as a preliminary action that prepares structured information for subsequent relationship calculation. This preprocessing step organizes data in a manageable format, enabling accurate determination while controlling processing complexity through systematic data preparation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback by continuously accumulating feature quantities over time and recalculating relationships between them. This iterative process allows the system to refine its determination based on accumulated evidence, improving accuracy while managing complexity through progressive refinement rather than complex one-step processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
