Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current measurement systems for biological information from multiple body parts lack synchronization in timing, leading to variable and potentially inaccurate diagnoses due to changing health states and disease conditions.
Innovation Solution
A measurement system comprising multiple processors that synchronize the timing of biological information measurement across different parts of the body, such as the left and right ears, using wireless communication to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If biological information is measured from multiple different locations simultaneously, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but timing synchronization becomes difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the measurement task into multiple independent measurement devices placed at different body locations, each capable of autonomous measurement while being coordinated through a central server that manages timing synchronization. This segmentation allows simultaneous multi-location measurement without requiring complex inter-device communication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
A server acts as an intermediary between multiple measurement devices, receiving measurement results from each device and performing centralized timing synchronization. The server coordinates the measurement timing by managing start and end times for each device, eliminating the need for direct device-to-device synchronization protocols.
2Measurement precision
If measurement timing is synchronized across multiple devices, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server serves as a central intermediary that manages timing synchronization for all measurement devices. It sends start timing signals to devices and collects end timing signals, performing synchronization centrally rather than requiring distributed synchronization protocols between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the timing parameter from distributed autonomous operation to centralized coordinated operation. The server controls the start and end timing parameters for each measurement device, ensuring synchronized measurement across all locations while simplifying the overall system architecture.
3Adaptability or versatility
If biological information is collected from multiple body parts, then comprehensive diagnosis is enabled, but measurement coordination becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement system is segmented into multiple independent devices that can be placed at different body locations (e.g., left ear, right ear, finger). Each device performs measurement autonomously while the server coordinates them, enabling comprehensive diagnosis without complex device interconnections.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple measurement devices with the same measurement function are deployed at different body locations. Each device is universally designed to perform the same type of measurement, and the server coordinates them to achieve comprehensive diagnostic coverage across different body parts.
