Alarm Operation Detection for Wake-Up Timing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for determining a user's wake-up timing are not accurate, leading to potential burdensome notifications when the user is still sleeping or missed notifications when the user has already woken up.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes an operation detection section to stop notifications and a wake-up determination section to determine the user's wake-up timing based on detected operations, such as ending or suspending an alarm, using sensors like grip, movement, and charge state monitoring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If information is output a fixed time after alarm time, then the system operates simply, but the timing accuracy of information delivery deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects user operations (alarm stop, grip, movement, charging) and uses this feedback to dynamically determine wake-up timing. The operation detection section monitors user actions and the wake-up determination section adjusts the timing based on detected operations, creating a closed-loop feedback system that improves timing accuracy without significantly increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the user's own actions (stopping the alarm, gripping the device, moving, charging) as the basis for determining wake-up timing. Rather than relying on external sensors or complex analysis, the system leverages the user's natural interactions with the device themselves to accurately identify wake-up moments
2Reliability
If information is output too early after alarm time, then the user might miss the information, but the user may feel burdensome if still sleeping
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts information output timing based on detected user operations. Instead of using a fixed time offset, the system adapts the timing to match the user's actual wake-up behavior, making the information delivery both reliable and appropriate to the user's state
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares multiple candidate timing options based on predicted wake-up patterns and user operations. By having pre-prepared timing strategies based on detected operations, the system can quickly select the most appropriate timing without delay, ensuring reliable delivery while avoiding premature notification

AI summary
A terminal apparatus includes an ending operation detection section for detecting that an operation to stop an audio output of an alarm has been made; and a wake-up determination section for determining, as wake-up timing of the user, timing when the operation has been detected.
