Solution Overview

Problem

Existing biological information processing systems require user calibration, even when no issues are present, which imposes an unnecessary load on users.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus with a selection unit that allows users to choose whether to calibrate biological information, associating it with specific states only when necessary, using a user terminal that communicates with a brain wave measurement device to determine the user's state and transmit music data accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If calibration is performed for each individual user, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to unnecessary user effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiological information processing accuracyVSAvoiduser calibration burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines whether calibration is necessary by detecting the user's current state (e.g., through brain wave analysis) and makes the calibration decision without requiring user judgment or manual input. The system serves itself by autonomously assessing calibration needs and executing appropriate processing accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of calibration requirement based on the detected user state. When the user is in a normal state, the system processes biological information without calibration; when the user is in an abnormal state, the system performs calibration before processing. This dynamic parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by making calibration conditional rather than mandatory.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If calibration is performed automatically without user choice, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates as the system cannot respond to user preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic calibrationVSAvoiduser preference accommodation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates a feedback mechanism where the user can provide input about their calibration preferences (e.g., through user state detection or explicit selection). This feedback is used to adjust the system's behavior, allowing the user to choose between automatic calibration, manual calibration, or no calibration. The system adapts its calibration strategy based on this feedback, resolving the contradiction between automation and user adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a selection unit. The selection unit selects whether to calibrate biological information of a user in accordance with designation by the user. When the selection unit selects no calibration in accordance with designation by the user, the biological information is associated with a specific state of the user under a predetermined condition.
