Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for diagnosing cognitive function states, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, often require invasive procedures and specialized equipment, leading to patient discomfort and rejection.

Innovation Solution

A method using a device with a cognitive function state identification model that processes user information, voice data, and speech time information to accurately diagnose cognitive function states without the need for invasive tests or special equipment, employing a converter to convert voice data into text, a logic-based event processor to extract linguistic and voice features, and multiple models to generate output data for diagnosis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If invasive procedures and specialized equipment are used for cognitive function diagnosis, then measurement precision is improved, but patient comfort and acceptance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis accuracyVSAvoidpatient discomfort and rejection
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces invasive mechanical procedures (biopsy, blood collection) with non-invasive voice-based assessment. The cognitive function state identification model processes voice data, speech time information, and linguistic features to diagnose cognitive conditions without physical intrusion, thereby maintaining diagnostic accuracy while eliminating patient discomfort.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces voice data and speech patterns as an intermediary medium for diagnosis. Instead of directly examining biological tissues or fluids, the system uses voice characteristics (pitch, rhythm, pauses, linguistic complexity) as a mediator to infer cognitive function state, reducing harm while preserving measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If invasive procedures are used for diagnosis, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis accuracyVSAvoiddiagnosis accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces complex invasive procedures with simple voice recording and analysis. Users only need to speak naturally into a device, and the cognitive function state identification model automatically processes the voice data, speech time information, and linguistic features to provide accurate diagnosis, making the process accessible and easy to operate.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-diagnosis through automated voice analysis. The cognitive function state identification model independently processes user-provided voice data without requiring medical professionals to perform invasive procedures, allowing users to assess their cognitive function state conveniently and accurately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If specialized equipment is used for diagnosis, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis accuracyVSAvoidequipment requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces specialized medical equipment (biopsy tools, blood analysis devices) with standard voice recording devices and computational models. The cognitive function state identification model, which processes voice data, speech time information, and linguistic features, can be implemented on common computing devices, eliminating the need for complex specialized equipment while maintaining diagnostic precision.

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