Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional treatments for snoring, such as CPAP machines and surgical procedures, are costly, invasive, and often affect sleep quality, while existing anti-snoring devices have limitations such as interference with electronic radiation and incomplete alleviation of snoring and apnea issues for patients with chronic diseases.

Innovation Solution

An anti-snoring rehabilitation device featuring a folding mattress and a movable framework that adjusts and reciprocates to reduce snoring by monitoring snoring volume, time, and frequency, and adjusting the framework to modify the patient's position and airflow, without invading the body or significantly affecting sleep.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional treatments such as CPAP machines or surgical procedures are used, then snoring and apnea can be effectively treated, but the treatment costs increase and patient comfort deteriorates due to invasiveness and sleep disruption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidpatient comfort and sleep quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces invasive mechanical treatments (CPAP machines, surgical interventions) with a non-invasive mechanical bed system that uses controlled shaking and position adjustments to treat snoring and apnea, thereby maintaining treatment effectiveness while eliminating discomfort and sleep disruption

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a cost-effective bed-based system with simple shaking and positioning mechanisms rather than expensive medical equipment, making the treatment more accessible and reducing overall healthcare costs while achieving comparable therapeutic results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Reliability

If existing anti-snoring devices are used, then some snoring symptoms can be alleviated, but electronic radiation interference occurs and the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesnoring alleviationVSAvoiddevice structure and electronic components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates complex electronic radiation components from the treatment system, relying instead on pure mechanical shaking and positioning actions delivered through the bed structure, thereby reducing device complexity and eliminating electronic interference while maintaining snoring alleviation effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces the bed structure as an intermediary medium that delivers therapeutic shaking and positioning actions directly to the patient, replacing complex electronic devices with a simple, familiar object that achieves the same therapeutic goals without electronic radiation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If horizontal shaking motion is applied to improve snoring, then apnea symptoms can be effectively reduced, but the treatment cannot address other chronic diseases and symptoms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapnea improvementVSAvoidtreatment scope for different conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the bed into a multi-functional rehabilitation platform that can perform various motions (shaking, lifting, tilting, rotating) to address not only snoring and apnea but also other chronic diseases and symptoms, thereby achieving universal applicability across different medical conditions while maintaining effective apnea treatment

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