Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional body fluid testing devices are limited in allowing users to conduct self-testing anytime, anywhere, and fail to provide clear images of body fluids for accurate analysis, particularly not aiding in identifying ovulation periods or sperm viability, which are crucial for increasing pregnancy chances.
Innovation Solution
A body fluid testing device with improved illumination, comprising a test unit with a sample part, a light source, a battery, and a lens group for magnification, connected to a user terminal for image capture and analysis, allowing users to conduct self-testing and identify ovulation periods or sperm viability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If conventional body fluid testing devices are used, then the device structure is simple, but the illumination is insufficient and clear images of body fluid cannot be obtained
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate functional modules: a test unit with illumination components and a user terminal with camera and analysis functions. This segmentation allows the illumination system to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system simplicity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
A wireless communication interface acts as an intermediary between the test unit and user terminal, enabling data transmission without direct physical connection. This mediator simplifies the overall device structure while maintaining functional integration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional testing devices are used, then the testing process is simple, but the test cannot be conducted accurately at any time and any place
Solution Approach 1:
The device is designed to perform multiple functions: body fluid testing, illumination for clear imaging, wireless data transmission, and analysis. This multi-functionality enables accurate testing at any time and place while maintaining operational simplicity through integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The device includes built-in illumination components and wireless transmission capabilities that automatically function when the test is initiated. The system self-configures and executes the testing process without requiring external assistance, ensuring consistent accuracy regardless of environmental conditions.
3Loss of information
If conventional pregnancy testers are used, then the test result is clear (pregnancy or not), but important matters such as ovulation period and sperm viability cannot be identified
Solution Approach 1:
The device provides detailed feedback about body fluid characteristics, including ovulation period indicators and sperm viability assessments. This comprehensive feedback mechanism delivers multiple types of information simultaneously, eliminating information loss while maintaining precise measurement capabilities through integrated analysis algorithms.
