Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional home-based monitoring systems for heart attacks and strokes often fail to detect symptoms in time due to lack of awareness, and wearable devices may not provide timely alerts or continuous monitoring.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing a remote controller or gaming device equipped with sensors to monitor and transmit biometric data, comparing it to threshold values, and generating alerts or providing content-based responses, such as advertisements, while obtaining biometric data during content consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wearable devices with sensors are used for home-based monitoring, then biometric data can be collected, but timely detection and alert generation may not be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetimely detection of health conditionsVSAvoiddelay in symptom detection
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors biometric data and provides immediate feedback by comparing readings against threshold values. When anomalies are detected, the system automatically generates alerts to designated locations, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that ensures timely response to health conditions without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-setting threshold values for various biometric parameters and establishing alert protocols before health crises occur. This preliminary configuration enables the system to automatically detect and respond to deviations from normal ranges, eliminating delays associated with manual monitoring and analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If conventional wearable monitoring devices are used, then biometric data can be obtained, but continuous monitoring and timely alerts may not be provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous monitoring capabilityVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves continuous monitoring by integrating multiple functions into a single platform: biometric data collection, threshold comparison, alert generation, and content delivery. This multi-functional approach maintains continuous surveillance while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate devices working in coordination.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring system performs self-service by automatically comparing biometric data against pre-set thresholds and generating alerts without requiring external medical equipment or complex diagnostic systems. The device independently manages the entire monitoring workflow, from data collection to alert transmission, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If biometric monitoring is implemented without integrated content delivery, then health data can be collected, but user awareness and response may not be improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser awareness of health statusVSAvoidsystem functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges biometric monitoring functionality with content delivery capabilities into a single integrated system. By combining health data collection, analysis, and personalized content delivery (such as health education materials or alerts), the system simultaneously improves user awareness and expands functional versatility without requiring separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
