Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication platforms lack the ability to enhance the evocative and engaging nature of content based on user brainwave data, failing to modulate content presentation effectively in response to user brain states.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilizes bio-signal sensors, particularly brainwave sensors, to capture and analyze user brainwave data, applying presentation modification rules and user input to modify digital content presentation, including synchronization of time-coded bio-signal and presentation data, and providing feedback to encourage target brain states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional communication platforms are used, then content delivery is straightforward, but the evocative and engaging nature of content is limited

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces brain-state data as an intermediary element that mediates between the content and the user. This data serves as a bridge that enables the system to understand user emotional states and adjust content delivery accordingly, thereby enhancing personalization without requiring direct complex analysis of user physiology

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes automatically captured brain-state data that reflects user emotional states without requiring active user input or manual feedback. The content modulation occurs self-service style based on real-time detection of user physiological states, reducing the need for complex user-system interaction mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If real-time brain-state monitoring is implemented, then personalized content delivery is enhanced, but measurement and analysis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotional state detection accuracyVSAvoidbrain-state analysis difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual methods of assessing user emotional states with electroencephalogram (EEG) technology. This substitution enables automated, precise detection of brain-wave patterns that correspond to different emotional states, achieving high measurement precision while reducing the practical difficulty of detection through established biomedical engineering solutions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If content modulation based on brain-state data is applied, then user engagement increases, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies content modulation selectively based on detected brain-state patterns rather than continuously adjusting all content parameters. By focusing computational resources on modulating only those aspects of content that most directly influence user engagement based on current emotional states, the system achieves improved productivity while managing energy consumption through targeted rather than exhaustive processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
