Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack an effective interface to seamlessly communicate and translate neurological and biological signals between the brain and body networks and external communication networks, facing challenges in signal frequency compatibility and routing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A processor-controlled device, such as a smartphone, acts as an interface between neurological and body area networks and external communication networks, transforming signals to compatible frequencies and routing them through a communications network, using routing policies and protocols to direct signals to specific destinations based on their origin within the brain or body.

1Productivity

If a processor-controlled device interfaces between biological networks and external communication networks, then signal transmission efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission efficiencyVSAvoidinterface device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A processor-controlled device serves as an intermediary between biological networks (neurological and body area networks) and external communication networks. The device includes a processor that executes routing policies to determine signal destinations, and a transceiver that communicates with both biological hosts and external networks, effectively mediating signal transmission between these different network types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The processor-controlled device performs multiple functions: it receives signals from biological hosts, determines routing destinations based on signal type and origin, transforms signals to compatible frequencies, and transmits them to external networks. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate specialized devices into a single universal interface.

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

2Reliability

If signal frequency transformation is performed to ensure compatibility, then communication reliability is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidsignal processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The processor is pre-programmed with routing policies that contain predetermined routing information for different types of biological signals. When a signal is received, the processor quickly matches it against these pre-established policies to determine the destination, avoiding the need for complex real-time analysis and reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
