Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional portable electrocardio measuring devices are cumbersome, large, and inconvenient to carry, making it difficult for patients to perform timely electrocardio waveform measurements during self-conscious symptoms such as palpitations or ecphysesis, especially in outdoor or public settings.

Innovation Solution

A card-type electrocardio measuring device with a hollow main body bracket, back encapsulation, and circuit board design, where electronic components are accommodated between the back of the circuit board and the back encapsulation, allowing for a thinner, more compact, and portable device with touch electrodes and a simple structure for easy assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a conventional portable electrocardio measuring device is used, then electrocardio waveform measurement function is provided, but the device volume is large and heavy making it inconvenient to carry

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoiddevice volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board is nested within the hollow main body bracket, with electronic components arranged between the back of the circuit board and the back encapsulation. This nested structure allows the device to achieve a compact card-type volume while maintaining all necessary functional components, directly resolving the contradiction between portability and device volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a conventional three-dimensional bulky device structure to a two-dimensional card-type thin structure. By arranging components in a planar layout and utilizing the hollow bracket space efficiently, the device volume is dramatically reduced while maintaining functionality, enabling easy carrying in pockets or bags.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If the device structure is simplified to reduce volume, then portability is improved, but assembly complexity may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into distinct modular components: the main body bracket, the circuit board, and the back encapsulation. Each component can be manufactured separately and then assembled together, which simplifies the overall assembly process despite the reduced volume. The segmentation allows for standardized production and easier quality control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The circuit board and main body bracket are merged into an integrated assembly where the circuit board is positioned within the hollow bracket structure. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies assembly, as the two elements work together as a unified structure rather than separate parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
