Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional biological information sensors face challenges in easily associating and recording biological information with the tasks being performed by subjects, particularly during mental or physical loads, such as cognitive function tests.

Innovation Solution

A biological information recording device and program that includes an acquisition processor to detect biological information and a recording processor to associate and record the information with designated tasks in real time, using a portable terminal and wearable sensor for wireless communication and task designation by an observer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional biological information sensors are used to record biological information during tasks, then biological information can be detected, but it is difficult to easily associate and record the biological information with the corresponding tasks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation between biological information and taskVSAvoidease of associating and recording
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the biological information sensor with a recording device and processing unit into an integrated system. The recording device includes a processor that automatically associates biological information with task information, eliminating the need for separate manual association steps and preventing information loss between these two elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting tasks through sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone) and autonomously associating the detected task information with the corresponding biological information without requiring external manual intervention, thereby maintaining complete information association.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If manual association of biological information and task is implemented, then information can be recorded, but the recording efficiency is reduced due to complex operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording efficiencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The recording device automatically detects tasks using integrated sensors and autonomously associates task information with biological information through automated processing algorithms, eliminating manual operations entirely and maximizing recording efficiency without operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated electronic sensing and processing systems. Sensors detect physical movements and environmental context, while a processor automatically interprets this data to identify tasks and associate them with biological information, substituting manual work with automated electronic systems.

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