Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional treatment methods relying on doctor's expertise and general procedures are used, then treatment can be performed with simple methods, but there is a gap between actual and expected aesthetic treatment results due to lack of deep customization and unobserved facial muscle changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an AI evaluation system as an intermediary between the doctor and the patient's facial structure. This system includes modules for acquiring facial images, detecting facial muscle changes, analyzing expression patterns, and providing objective evaluation results. The AI system acts as a mediator that translates subtle facial muscle movements into quantifiable data, enabling doctors to make more precise treatment decisions without directly observing the microscopic changes themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical/visual inspection method (doctor's naked eye observation) with an AI-based digital evaluation system. The system uses image processing algorithms, facial action coding analysis, and machine learning models to detect and quantify facial muscle changes that are imperceptible to human vision. This substitution transforms subjective visual assessment into objective digital measurement, significantly improving detection precision.
2Reliability
If doctors make judgments based on personal practice experience, then treatment can be performed quickly, but wrong judgments lead to inferior therapeutic effects and medical disputes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the AI evaluation system analyze facial muscle changes and expression patterns before the doctor makes treatment decisions. The system pre-processes facial images, detects muscle movements, and generates objective evaluation reports that guide the doctor's judgment. This preliminary analysis ensures that treatment decisions are based on accurate, pre-verified data rather than rushed subjective assessment, improving reliability without significantly increasing perceived time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AI system continuously monitors facial expressions and muscle changes, providing real-time or near-real-time evaluation results to the doctor. The system compares detected changes against normative data and treatment outcomes, offering feedback that helps doctors refine their judgments. This feedback loop ensures high accuracy in treatment decisions while streamlining the evaluation process through automated analysis.
3Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If conventional methods without real-time facial expression evaluation are used, then the evaluation process is simple, but facial muscle changes accumulated by long-term expression habits cannot be observed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from two-dimensional static facial images to multi-dimensional dynamic analysis. The system captures facial expressions across multiple dimensions including temporal sequences of expressions, spatial coordinates of muscle movements, and intensity variations. By analyzing facial muscle changes in these additional dimensions, the system can detect subtle patterns accumulated over time that are invisible in conventional single-frame or single-dimensional assessments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by moving from static facial assessment to dynamic real-time evaluation. The system captures and analyzes facial expressions in motion, tracking muscle movements across multiple time points. This dynamic approach reveals how facial muscles behave during various expressions and how these behaviors change over time, enabling detection of accumulated expression habits that static images cannot capture. The dynamic analysis transforms the evaluation from a snapshot to a continuous process.
