Brain Wave Measurement Data Relay via Portable Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Devices for measuring brain waves face difficulties in communicating with data processing servers due to limited internet access in bedrooms, leading to delayed and restrictive data retrieval processes.
Innovation Solution
A method and system utilizing a portable relay device to establish multiple connection paths between the brain wave measurement device and the data processing server through primary, secondary, and tertiary connections, including wireless communication protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks, to facilitate data transfer and reduce user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a direct connection between the measuring device and the data processing server is used, then data transfer is simple and direct, but the connection may fail due to limited internet access in bedrooms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a portable relay device as an intermediary between the measuring device and the data processing server. This relay device receives data from the measuring device via a first connection (which can work without internet access in the bedroom) and then forwards it to the server via a second connection (using mobile network or Wi-Fi in other locations). This mediator resolves the contradiction by providing an alternative communication path that bypasses the limited internet access issue in bedrooms.
2Reliability
If manual data transfer operations are required, then data can be retrieved even without automatic connection, but the process becomes time-consuming and restrictive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic data transfer system where the measuring device and relay device autonomously establish connections and transfer data without requiring manual user intervention. The system automatically attempts to connect via the first connection, and if that fails, automatically uses the second connection through the relay device. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual data transfer operations, resolving the contradiction between reliable data retrieval and time consumption.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If the measuring device is kept in the bedroom for continuous monitoring, then monitoring is continuous, but internet access may be limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transfer function into two independent connection paths: a first connection for local data transfer to the relay device (which works without internet access), and a second connection for remote data transfer to the server (using mobile network or Wi-Fi). This segmentation allows the measuring device to remain in the bedroom for continuous monitoring while the relay device handles the internet connectivity aspect, resolving the contradiction between continuous monitoring and connection reliability.
