Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical practices face challenges in accurately analyzing food materials for improving physical conditions or mitigating diseases due to the lack of comprehensive knowledge about food materials and nutrients among medical professionals, and vice versa.

Innovation Solution

An artificial intelligence-based food material analyzing method that calculates ingredient power and index for each inspection item, derives suitable food materials based on these calculations, and provides personalized dietary recommendations by integrating user information with medical data and a food material database.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If medical professionals use their specialization knowledge to analyze food materials, then medical diagnosis accuracy is improved, but comprehensive knowledge of food materials and nutrients is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedical diagnosis accuracyVSAvoidcomprehensive food material knowledge
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI-based analysis system as an intermediary between medical professionals and food material databases. The system automatically retrieves comprehensive food material information, calculates ingredient indices, and generates dietary recommendations, thereby bridging the knowledge gap without requiring medical professionals to possess extensive food science expertise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual food material analysis by medical professionals with an automated AI-based system. The system uses algorithms to process medical data, calculate ingredient indices, and derive dietary recommendations, substituting human expertise with computational methods that can comprehensively analyze food materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If food material experts provide comprehensive nutritional analysis, then food material knowledge is improved, but medical knowledge level is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefood material knowledgeVSAvoidmedical knowledge level
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The AI-based system serves as an intermediary that combines food material database information with medical data. It automatically integrates nutritional analysis with medical diagnosis criteria, ensuring that dietary recommendations are both nutritionally sound and medically appropriate without requiring food experts to have medical qualifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal analysis system that performs multiple functions: it analyzes food materials, calculates ingredient indices, generates dietary recommendations, and ensures medical appropriateness. This multi-functional system eliminates the need for individuals to possess both extensive food science knowledge and medical expertise simultaneously.

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

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive food material analysis is performed manually, then analysis accuracy is improved, but time consumption and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual food material analysis with an automated AI-based system that uses algorithms to process medical data, retrieve food material information, calculate ingredient indices, and generate recommendations. This automation significantly reduces analysis time while maintaining or improving accuracy through systematic computational methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing medical data, automatically retrieving relevant food material information from databases, and pre-calculating ingredient indices before generating final dietary recommendations. This preliminary processing eliminates time-consuming manual analysis steps while ensuring comprehensive and accurate results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
