Solution Overview

Problem

Data analytics systems face challenges in correlating user health data with activity data, leading to fragmented user experiences and ineffective reward mechanisms, as they fail to provide personalized health factor-driven solutions and lack transparency in activity recommendations.

Innovation Solution

The system generates composite score data objects by integrating health score and activity score data objects, using point indicators associated with category and type indicators to calculate activity scores, and performs score-based actions such as rendering activity recommendations on user interfaces, ensuring personalized engagement and clear explanations of health improvements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data analytics systems process and correlate user health data with activity data, then the system can provide personalized health recommendations, but the computational complexity and data processing requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex data processing into distinct components: activity score generation module that processes activity data separately from health score generation module that processes health data. These segmented modules independently compute their respective scores and then integrate results, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary elements including point indicators that serve as mediators between raw activity data and final activity scores, and category indicators that mediate between different types of health data. These intermediaries simplify the correlation process by providing structured intermediate representations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system integrates multiple data sources to generate comprehensive health and activity scores, then the accuracy of personalized recommendations improves, but the data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescore accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining category indicators, type indicators, and point indicator mappings before actual data processing occurs. This pre-structuring of the scoring framework allows for faster real-time computation of individual user scores while maintaining comprehensive multi-source data integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by allowing flexible adjustment of point indicators and category weights without requiring complete system reconfiguration. This enables accurate scoring adaptation to different user needs while maintaining efficient processing through a stable underlying framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed activity recommendations with explanations, then user engagement and transparency improve, but the complexity of generating and managing recommendation data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transparencyVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system generates explanations that connect user activities to health outcomes through the scoring framework. This feedback loop provides transparency by showing users how their activities contribute to their health scores, while the structured nature of the feedback reduces management complexity through standardized explanation templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds the dimension of interpretability by layering explanatory information over the core scoring mechanism. This creates a two-layer system where the underlying score generation remains computationally simple, while the added explanation layer provides transparency without significantly increasing core processing complexity.

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