Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If brain information is shared among multiple users, then collaborative brain information exchange is enabled, but information security and privacy protection become problematic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaborative brain information exchangeVSAvoidinformation security and privacy protection
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only specific useful brain wave components (alpha waves, beta waves, gamma waves) while filtering out other components. This selective extraction enables sharing of relevant brain information while maintaining security by not transmitting complete or sensitive neural data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing and transmission qualities to different brain wave components. Specific frequency bands are enhanced and transmitted with higher quality while other components are filtered or reduced, allowing selective information sharing with appropriate privacy protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If all brain information is transmitted, then complete brain activity data is shared, but data transmission efficiency and processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplete brain activity dataVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential brain wave components (alpha, beta, gamma waves) that carry meaningful information, discarding redundant data. This extraction maintains information quality while dramatically improving transmission efficiency and reducing processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transmits only the necessary portion of brain information (specific frequency bands) rather than complete brain activity data. This partial transmission approach achieves sufficient information sharing while optimizing transmission efficiency and reducing system load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
