Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wireless communication devices face limitations in processing and storing biometric event data, particularly in terms of data capture, storage, and retrieval, especially in scenarios requiring larger service areas and more complex data handling.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for processing information based on detected biometric event data, which involves capturing multimedia content and biometric data, time-stamping, and location-tagging, using a wireless mobile communication device (WMCD) with integrated sensors and a data acquisition system, and storing this data locally or remotely for future retrieval, utilizing user preferences and pattern recognition algorithms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If wireless communication devices are used to capture and store biometric event data, then data capture capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiometric event data captureVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple sensors (biometric sensors, multimedia sensors, GPS, clock) into a single wireless communication device, integrating data capture functions that were previously separate. This merging approach improves biometric event data capture capability while managing device complexity through unified architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wireless communication device is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: capturing biometric data, recording multimedia content, tracking location, timestamping events, and storing data. This multi-functionality allows a single device to handle complex biometric event data processing without requiring separate specialized devices for each function.

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

2Quantity of substance

If biometric data and multimedia content are stored locally and remotely, then data storage capacity is improved, but loss of information is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capacityVSAvoiddata retrieval reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses an intermediary communication network to transfer data between local device storage and remote storage. This intermediary layer ensures data can be reliably stored and retrieved across different locations, preventing information loss while maintaining large storage capacity through distributed storage architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If data is tagged with time, location, and biometric information, then data organization is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval efficiencyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary tagging of data with time stamps, location information, and biometric identifiers at the moment of data capture. This preliminary organization action simplifies future data retrieval operations, as data is already structured and labeled before storage, reducing the complexity of subsequent data processing and search operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system and method is provided for processing and storing captured data in a wireless communication device based on detected biometric event data. The captured data may be acquired through a data acquisition system with devices or sensors in an integrated or distributed configuration. The captured data may include multimedia data of an event with time, date and/or location stamping, and captured physiological and behavioral biometric event data in response to the event. The captured data may be dynamically stored in a data binding format or as raw data in a local host device or communicated externally to be stored in a remote host or storage. At least one user preference may be specified for linking a biometric event data to the mapped, analyzed, categorized and stored captured data in a database. Captured data may be retrieved by matching biometric event data to at least one user preference from the database.
