Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If biometric data is processed in real-time to create interactive sensory experiences, then the adaptability and interactivity of the system is improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the biometric data processing into distinct modules: EEG signal acquisition, frequency band analysis (alpha, beta, gamma, theta), musical note translation, and audio synthesis. Each module processes specific aspects of the data independently, making the complex real-time processing manageable and scalable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that translates raw EEG frequencies into musical notes and audio outputs. This intermediary layer acts as a bridge between the complex biometric data and the sensory output, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining real-time interactivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If multiple biometric data sources are merged and processed concurrently, then the quantity of processed data and system capability is improved, but the measurement precision and data processing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of dataVSAvoidmeasurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments different biometric data sources (EEG, heart rate, respiratory rate) into separate processing channels, analyzing each data type independently before integrating them. This segmentation maintains measurement precision by preventing data type interference while increasing overall data processing capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial processing to each biometric data source, focusing on specific frequency bands relevant to each measurement type. This selective processing approach handles multiple data sources efficiently without overwhelming the system or sacrificing precision in any single measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Speed

If real-time processing of biometric data is implemented, then the speed of response and interactivity is improved, but the energy consumption and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovespeedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic processing of biometric data, analyzing EEG signals in discrete frequency bands (alpha, beta, gamma, theta) rather than continuous processing. This periodic approach maintains real-time responsiveness while reducing overall energy consumption by processing data in structured intervals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent processes only the necessary frequency bands and parameters required for the current sensory output, rather than processing all possible biometric data continuously. This selective partial processing reduces energy consumption while maintaining the speed of response for the specific task at hand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for using a common “vocabulary,” predefined or dynamically generated based on user-provided content, to transform biometric and/or neurometric data collected from one or more people into a coherent audio and/or visual result. One method comprises receiving a first incoming signal from a bio-generated data sensing device worn by a first user; determining a first set of output values based on the first incoming signal, a common vocabulary comprising a list of possible output values, and a parameter file comprising a set of instructions for applying the common vocabulary to the first incoming signal to derive the first set of output values; generating a first output array comprising the first set of output values; and providing the first output array to an output delivery system configured to render the first output array as a first audio and/or visual output.
