1Reliability

If traditional chest compression instruments are used, then the equipment can perform basic compression functions, but the compression frequency, depth and duration cannot be optimized according to physiological indicators, resulting in low rescue success rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverescue success rateVSAvoidadaptation to physiological indicators
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback control system where pressure sensors detect compression pressure in real-time, the microcontroller processes this data along with physiological parameters, and automatically adjusts compression frequency, depth and duration. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the device to adapt to patient-specific physiological conditions, resolving the contradiction between basic compression function and adaptive optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical compression with an automated electromechanical system. Linear motors drive the compression mechanism based on electronic control signals from the microcontroller, which processes physiological data and pressure feedback. This substitution transforms the system from passive mechanical operation to active intelligent control, enabling optimization of compression parameters according to physiological indicators.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple functions into a single unified device: pressure sensing, physiological parameter detection, microcontroller-based processing, and automated compression control. The pressure sensor serves both measurement and control feedback functions, while the microcontroller handles data processing, decision-making, and motor control. This multi-functional integration achieves high compression quality without proportionally increasing device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The device performs self-adjustment of compression parameters based on real-time pressure feedback and physiological data processing. The microcontroller automatically modifies compression frequency, depth and duration without requiring external manual intervention, enabling the system to self-optimize compression quality while maintaining manageable structural complexity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If standard compression protocols are applied to all patients, then the operation procedure can be standardized, but patient-specific optimization cannot be achieved, resulting in suboptimal rescue outcomes

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static standardization into dynamic adaptation. While the device maintains a standardized operational framework with defined compression protocols, the actual compression parameters (frequency, depth, duration) dynamically adjust based on real-time pressure sensor feedback and patient-specific physiological data. This dynamic approach enables patient-specific optimization within a standardized operational structure, improving rescue outcomes without sacrificing procedural consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
