Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing biological information processing devices only display numerical values of measurements such as body fat ratio and BMI without providing personalized insights, leading to a lack of interest from users in their own measurement results.
Innovation Solution
A biological information processing device that associates different biological information types with specific graphical elements, adjusting these elements' values based on measurement data to generate a unique visual representation of the user's health condition, making the results more engaging and informative.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If numerical values of biological information are displayed as they are, then measurement precision is maintained, but user interest and engagement decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms biological information parameters from raw numerical values to visual parameters by mapping numerical values to graphical figure properties (size, shape, color, position). This parameter transformation maintains measurement precision while significantly improving user engagement and ease of understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy representation of biological information using graphical figures. Instead of displaying raw numbers directly, it generates a visual replica (graphical figure) that embodies the biological information, making the data more engaging and easier to interpret while preserving accuracy.
2Loss of information
If raw numerical values are displayed, then information completeness is maintained, but information specificity and personalization decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing different aspects of the graphical figure according to specific biological information parameters. Each biological parameter (body fat ratio, muscle mass, etc.) is mapped to specific visual properties of the figure, creating a personalized representation that is both complete and individually tailored.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the graphical figure into multiple components (body parts, features) that can be independently adjusted according to different biological information parameters. This segmentation allows the system to maintain information completeness while achieving high personalization through selective modification of figure segments.
3Ease of operation
If graphical figures are generated from biological information, then user interest increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal graphical figure template that can represent multiple types of biological information (body fat ratio, muscle mass, bone density, etc.) through a single figure structure. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by avoiding the need for separate visualization systems for each parameter while maintaining high user interest.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses dynamic adjustment of graphical figure properties (size, shape, color, position) based on biological information values. Instead of complex 3D modeling or animation, it dynamically modifies 2D figure attributes, which simplifies the processing requirements while still achieving engaging and personalized visual representations.

AI summary
A biological information processing device includes a controller programmed to obtain biological information indicating a body condition, and associate different kinds of the biological information with respective specific graphical elements. Each of the respective specific graphical elements constitute a respective specific appearance of a graphical figure, with one of the respective specific graphical elements representing a surface count of a polyhedron which changes in relation to a numerical change in the biological information. The controller is further programmed to set value to the specific graphical element depending on degree of the biological information for at least one specific graphical element associated with the biological information obtained, and generate indicating data of a biological figure on the basis of the value set, the biological figure being an aggregate of the specific graphical elements.
