Solution Overview

Problem

Current health food products do not effectively utilize young barley grass to enhance regulatory T cells, immune response suppression, and antiviral functions.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising young barley grass, which increases regulatory T cells, suppresses immune responses, and maintains normal immune function, thereby addressing autoimmune, allergic, and inflammatory diseases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If young barley grass is used in health food products, then anti-cholesterol effect is achieved, but regulatory T cell increase and immune response suppression functions are not effectively utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidfunctional effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies multi-functionality by demonstrating that young barley grass extracts can simultaneously achieve multiple immune-related functions: increasing regulatory T cells, suppressing excessive immune responses, and maintaining normal immune function. This transforms the material from having a single anti-cholesterol function to having multiple immune-regulating functions, resolving the contradiction between functional versatility and effectiveness.

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

2Reliability

If immune response suppression is achieved through young barley grass, then autoimmune and allergic diseases are suppressed, but excessive immune response may lead to immunodeficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmune function maintenanceVSAvoidimmunosuppression side effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by differentiating the effects based on the state of the immune system. The extract increases regulatory T cells to suppress excessive immune responses in autoimmune and allergic conditions, while simultaneously maintaining normal immune function through modulation of immune cell activity. This balanced parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between suppressing harmful immune responses and maintaining adequate immunity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
