Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If electroencephalograms are measured during simple sound stimulus tasks, then measurement precision is improved, but adaptability to daily voice information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectroencephalogram measurement precisionVSAvoidadaptability to daily voice information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the stimulus parameters from simple standardized sounds to complex daily voice information (news, conversations), while adjusting the machine learning model parameters to handle the increased complexity. This allows the system to maintain measurement precision while adapting to real-world voice variations.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The estimation model is designed to handle multiple types of voice inputs (news, conversations, various speakers, different acoustic environments) through a universal machine learning framework that processes diverse electroencephalogram responses to different voice stimuli types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning is used with daily voice information, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to daily voice informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex manual mood assessment procedures with an automated machine learning system that processes electroencephalogram data. This substitution of mechanical/manual processes with computational algorithms reduces operational complexity while maintaining high adaptability to different voice inputs.
