Solution Overview

Problem

Existing IoT devices do not account for changes in user sensory perception due to prolonged usage, leading to discomfort and poor user experience when transitioning to subsequent devices.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device measures sensory parameters of a first IoT device used for a period, identifies a second IoT device, and automatically adjusts its configuration to mitigate sensory perception changes using machine learning models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If IoT devices operate with fixed configurations for extended periods, then device stability is maintained, but user sensory perception changes cause discomfort and poor experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice stabilityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic configuration adjustment by continuously monitoring sensory parameters and automatically modifying device settings based on detected changes in user sensory perception, transforming fixed configurations into adaptive, living systems that evolve with user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-adjustment by autonomously detecting sensory perception changes through sensors and automatically reconfiguring device parameters without requiring manual user intervention, enabling the device to serve itself in adapting to user conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If sensory parameters are continuously monitored and device configurations are dynamically adjusted, then user experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a multi-functional integrated system that combines sensory parameter monitoring, change detection, and configuration adjustment capabilities within a single unified framework, allowing the same system to perform multiple functions rather than requiring separate dedicated components for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system manages complexity by focusing on adjusting specific configurable parameters of IoT devices based on sensory parameter changes, rather than redesigning entire device architectures, thereby achieving adaptability through controlled parameter modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If device configurations are automatically adjusted based on sensory perception changes, then discomfort is reduced, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser comfortVSAvoidsensory parameter detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a closed-loop feedback system where sensory parameters are continuously measured, compared against baseline values, and used to trigger configuration adjustments only when significant changes are detected, thereby managing measurement requirements through intelligent threshold-based filtering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A control method of an electronic device, for handling determined sensory perception changes of a user in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, includes measuring at least one first sensory parameter of at least one first IoT device in the IoT environment, wherein the at least one first sensory parameter indicates a determined sensory perception change of the user based on the user using the at least one first IoT device over a first period of time; identifying at least one second IoT device in the IoT environment used by the user after the at least one first IoT device, wherein the at least one second IoT device is operating in a first configuration; and controlling the at least one second IoT device to switch from the first configuration to a second configuration based on the at least one first sensory parameter.
