Blood Sugar Management Data Retention for Abnormal-Range Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blood sugar management systems face significant storage capacity challenges due to the large volume of meal information stored, and it is difficult for users or doctors to efficiently find relevant meal information related to specific blood-sugar levels.
Innovation Solution
A blood sugar management device and system that includes a blood sugar determination unit to assess if measured values are within a predetermined range, and an information organization unit to delete or retain meal information based on this assessment, thereby optimizing storage and retrieval of relevant meal data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all meal information is stored in the blood sugar management device and server, then complete meal data is preserved for reference, but storage capacity becomes considerably large and information retrieval becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and retains only the essential meal information (meal images and basic data) in the blood sugar management device, while storing detailed analysis results and processed data on the server. This extraction principle reduces local storage requirements while maintaining data completeness across the distributed system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments meal information storage across multiple locations: the blood sugar management device stores raw meal data, the server stores processed and analyzed data, and specific meal information is selectively retained based on blood sugar level correlations. This segmentation distributes storage burden and enables efficient retrieval.
2Reliability
If all meal information is stored in the blood sugar management device and server, then complete meal data is preserved for reference, but information retrieval becomes inefficient for specific blood-sugar level states
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary organization of meal information by correlating meal data with blood sugar levels in advance. Meal images and information are pre-tagged and associated with specific blood sugar level ranges, enabling rapid retrieval when analyzing blood sugar patterns without requiring search through all stored meal data.
3Loss of information
If meal information is retained for all blood sugar measurements, then complete dietary analysis is possible, but storage requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating storage requirements based on blood sugar level characteristics. Meal information is retained with higher priority for measurements outside the normal range (hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia), while measurements within the normal range use reduced storage. This selective quality approach maintains dietary analysis completeness for critical events while reducing overall storage burden.

AI summary
The invention relates to a blood sugar management device, a blood sugar management system, a blood sugar management method, and a blood sugar management program. A blood sugar management device (14) includes a blood sugar information acquisition unit (16), a meal information acquisition unit (18), a storage unit (36), a blood sugar determination unit (28), and an information organization unit (30). When the blood sugar determination unit (28) determines that a measured value is within the predetermined range, the information organization unit (30) deletes meal information corresponding to the measured value from the storage unit (36), and when the blood sugar determination unit (28) determines that the measured value is not within the predetermined range, the information organization unit (30) holds meal information corresponding to the measured value in the storage unit (36).
