Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional biometric measurement devices require multiple apparatuses for various measurements, leading to space inefficiency, maintenance challenges, and inconvenience for users, with errors possible due to manual data collection and the need for multiple devices.
Innovation Solution
A single apparatus with a hand rest in a convex curvature shape that allows for the measurement of multiple biometric information types, including electrocardiogram, body fat, and plethysmogram, using sensors integrated into the hand rest to contact the examinee's palm and fingers, reducing the need for separate devices and enhancing user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate measuring devices are provided to measure various biometric information, then measurement capability is improved, but device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple measuring devices for different biometric information (blood pressure, pulse wave, EKG, body fat) into a single integrated apparatus. The housing contains multiple sensors and measuring units that can simultaneously or sequentially measure various physiological parameters, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices and reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring apparatus is designed with multi-functional capabilities to perform diverse biometric measurements using a single device. The system includes sensors for blood pressure, pulse wave, electrocardiogram, and body fat measurement, all integrated into one universal measuring unit that serves multiple purposes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate measuring devices are used, then various biometric information can be measured, but maintenance difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating multiple measuring functions into a single apparatus with unified housing and control systems, the patent simplifies maintenance operations. Instead of maintaining multiple separate devices, users only need to service one integrated system, reducing maintenance complexity and improving ease of repair.
3Adaptability or versatility
If examinee moves from one device to another for measurement, then comprehensive biometric data can be collected, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple measurement functions into a single apparatus, allowing examinees to remain in one position while comprehensive biometric data is collected simultaneously or sequentially. The unified design eliminates the need for users to move between multiple devices, significantly improving ease of operation and user experience.
4Adaptability or versatility
If manual data collection is used across multiple devices, then biometric information can be gathered, but measurement precision deteriorates due to errors
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated measuring apparatus automatically collects and processes biometric data from multiple sensors within a single system, eliminating manual data transcription and reducing human error. The unified control system ensures accurate and consistent data collection across all measurement functions.
5Productivity
If clippers with wires are used for measurement, then biometric data can be collected, but ease of operation worsens due to wire twisting and handling difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need for separate clippers and connecting wires by integrating sensors directly into the hand rest structure. The sensors are built-in components that make direct contact with the examinee's hand, removing the cumbersome wire connections and improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring sensors are integrated directly into the hand rest, combining the functions of positioning and measurement into a single structure. This integration eliminates separate clippers and wire connections, making the device easier to handle and operate.
