Solution Overview

Problem

As the aging society progresses, there is a growing need for effective methods to prevent and improve dementia symptoms, particularly in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, as existing training methods lack personalized and adaptive approaches to optimize cognitive function training based on user-specific data and environmental factors.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for controlling a cognitive function training app that determines user inputs, optimizes training sessions in real-time based on biosignal data, circadian rhythms, and environmental factors, adjusting training speed and duration to provide personalized and adaptive cognitive function training through a terminal device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cognitive function training is provided using general methods, then training can be delivered to users, but the training cannot be optimized for individual user needs and conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of trainingVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects user information in advance (sleep patterns, circadian rhythm, schedule, activity level, depression level) before providing training, allowing it to pre-optimize training parameters tailored to each user's individual conditions and needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The training program dynamically adjusts its parameters (training time, speed, duration, content) based on real-time monitoring of user inputs and collected information, transforming a static program into an adaptive system that responds to user state changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If training is provided without considering user inputs and conditions, then the system remains simple, but training effectiveness and efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user inputs during training (voice inputs, responses) and uses this feedback to adjust training parameters in real-time, optimizing training efficiency by adapting to the user's current cognitive state and performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically analyzes collected user information and adjusts training parameters without requiring manual intervention from trainers or users, enabling the training program to self-optimize based on accumulated data about user patterns and responses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the app does not monitor user state in real-time, then the system is simpler to operate, but it cannot adapt to changing user conditions during training

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time adaptationVSAvoidoperational simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors user state through various sensors and input mechanisms, and self-adjusts training parameters without requiring user intervention or complex manual controls, maintaining ease of operation while achieving real-time adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual monitoring and adjustment mechanisms with automated sensor-based detection and algorithmic parameter optimization, eliminating the need for complex operational procedures while enabling continuous real-time adaptation to user conditions

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