Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack effective methods for providing CBD-containing foods and products with precise control and verification of CBD content, catering to consumer preferences while ensuring compliance with legal CBD levels, especially in food applications where user confirmation and intake methods are inadequate.

Innovation Solution

A 3D printing system with an authentication unit for user verification, a CBD notification unit for precise CBD content transmission, a communication support unit for remote interaction, and an interface unit for data management and analysis, enabling the production of CBD-containing foods and products in various shapes with controlled CBD content, using a fluid feeder system that includes a PTE or STE method and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If 3D printing is used to produce CBD-containing foods and products, then manufacturing precision and customization are improved, but device complexity and control requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCBD content control precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into independent functional modules: authentication unit for user verification, CBD notification unit for content control, communication support unit for remote interaction, and interface unit for data management. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, managing overall system complexity while maintaining precise CBD content control through coordinated operation of specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The CBD notification unit acts as an intermediary between user authentication and the 3D printing process, transmitting precise CBD content-related information to control the printing parameters. This intermediary ensures accurate CBD content control without requiring the entire system to be overly complex, as the notification unit translates user requirements into specific printing instructions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If user authentication and CBD content control are implemented, then user safety and legal compliance are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication unit performs automatic user verification against stored user information or specialist prescription information, eliminating the need for manual verification processes. The system automatically determines whether to allow services based on authentication results, maintaining high reliability for user safety while minimizing the operational burden on users through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The communication support unit enables two-way remote communication between specialist terminals and user terminals, providing real-time feedback during the printing process. This allows users to receive updates and confirmations about their orders and CBD content, maintaining ease of operation through transparent communication while ensuring reliability through specialist oversight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If remote communication and data management are added, then service capability and user support are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidcommunication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication support unit handles multiple functions including two-way voice/text communication, symptom description extraction from databases, and interactive Q&A exchange between specialists and users. By consolidating these diverse communication functions into a single multi-functional unit, the system achieves high service capability without proportionally increasing complexity, as one component performs multiple essential roles.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The interface unit manages and stores usage history and effect data of CBD-containing objects in a database, creating informational copies of user experiences and outcomes. This allows the system to provide personalized service and statistical analysis without requiring complex real-time processing of every interaction, as historical data copies can be referenced and analyzed as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present invention relates to a printing operating system for a 3D object containing CBD, the system providing a printing operating method for a 3D object, whereby CBD-containing food, such as coffee, juice, syrup, sauce, ice cream, yogurt, chocolate, cookies, candy, etc., or CBD-containing products using a fluid, such as candles, soaps, cosmetics, oils, etc., are provided by being printed into various and distinctive shapes catering to consumer preferences, while quantitative control and verification are enabled so that the 3D object contains an amount of CBD which is legally allowed in each country. The system implements a teleportation concept-based drug delivery method enabling contactless remote diagnosis and, at the same time, delivery of drugs such as CBD in an emergency situation such as the prevalence of coronaviruses (such as COVID-19) or various infectious diseases.
