Problem

Current methods for analyzing human psychology and preferences rely on incomplete data, as they do not effectively utilize real-time brainwave variations to accurately determine emotional and character traits, especially in the context of the Metaverse's need to simulate human behavior.

Innovation Solution

An AI test and analysis system that uses a helmet with a brainwave detector and transceiver to capture and process brainwaves, employing big data technologies and algorithms to identify patterns and preferences, creating a brainwave feature standard module for consistent analysis across multiple testers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional analysis methods are used to assess human psychology and preferences, then the analysis process is simple, but the accuracy and completeness of the assessment is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of psychology assessmentVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical/survey-based psychology assessment methods with a brainwave-based physiological measurement system. By using EEG sensors to detect brainwave patterns (alpha, beta, gamma waves) and processing them through AI algorithms, the system achieves more accurate and objective psychology assessment without relying on subjective self-reporting or conventional questionnaires.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the assessment approach by changing the measurement parameters from psychological self-descriptions to physiological brainwave parameters. The system measures specific brainwave frequencies (alpha 8-12Hz, beta 13-30Hz, gamma 30-100Hz) and their variations, then maps these physical parameters to psychological traits, enabling more precise and objective assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If real-time brainwave data is collected and analyzed using AI and big data technologies, then the accuracy of determining human characters and emotions is improved, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of character and emotion determinationVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the brainwave analysis process into distinct modules: (1) brainwave signal acquisition from EEG sensors, (2) signal processing and feature extraction, (3) AI-based pattern recognition, and (4) psychological trait determination. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates parallel processing of multiple testers' data through big data technologies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces AI algorithms and big data platforms as intermediary layers between raw brainwave data and psychological assessments. These intermediaries process the complex neural signals, identify patterns, and translate them into meaningful psychological characteristics, bridging the gap between physiological data and psychological interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If multiple testers are tested for the same test to find common brainwave features and build a standard module, then the reliability and generalizability of the analysis is improved, but the time and resources required for testing increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of brainwave analysisVSAvoidtime required for building standard module
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary testing with multiple subjects to establish a brainwave feature standard module before conducting actual assessments. This pre-phase collects and analyzes brainwave data from diverse testers to identify common patterns and create reference standards, which then enable rapid and reliable assessment of new subjects without repeating the entire standardization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An AI test and analysis system for psychology preference is provided. By using brainwave detectors, the emotions and characters of the testers are connected. Variations from the brainwaves in pre-test and formal-test are used for analyzing of AI and big data as a base for determining human characters and emotions. These can be used to compensate insufficiency of conventional analysis thereabout. The methodology is widely used in various fields, such as mindfulness, human resource, potentials of people, and sensibilities of human, etc. Only data obtained from brainwave detectors are used to have tendencies and preference of the testers to various objects, while brainwaves are real physical data from the testers.
