Innovation Solution

A system and method that enables bioelectrical contact between a biosignal detector and a user to collect datasets, generate cognitive state metrics, and transmit this data to third parties for personalized content delivery, using biosignal detectors, receivers, and communication modules to facilitate real-time content tailoring.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a biosignal detector system is implemented to collect and transmit cognitive state data, then content personalization capability is improved, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem implementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a biosignal detector as an intermediary device that bridges the gap between users and content providers. This detector collects cognitive state data and transmits it to content providers, enabling personalization without requiring direct complex integration between user devices and content delivery systems. The detector acts as a standalone component that simplifies the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The biosignal detector is designed as a universal device that can be integrated with various content delivery platforms and types. It provides a standardized interface for collecting and transmitting cognitive state data, making it compatible across different applications and content providers, thereby reducing implementation complexity through reusability.

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

2Productivity

If cognitive state data is collected and transmitted to third parties, then content optimization and user engagement are improved, but data transmission and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent optimization efficiencyVSAvoiddata transmission and processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection and processing by continuously monitoring cognitive state parameters and pre-processing the raw biosignal data into meaningful metrics before transmission. This preliminary action reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and processed in real-time, thereby minimizing transmission delays and enabling faster content optimization responses.

Inventive Principle:
