Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If cryogenic physical therapy device is controlled by specialized staff, then therapy safety and parameter accuracy are ensured, but user autonomy and operational flexibility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser autonomyVSAvoidtherapy safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to independently input therapy parameters, undergo biometric verification, and control the therapy process without staff assistance. The automated control system executes therapy based on user inputs and real-time monitoring, eliminating the need for specialized staff operation while maintaining safety through multiple verification mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors user biometric data (heart rate, body temperature) during therapy and provides real-time feedback to adjust therapy parameters. This closed-loop control ensures therapy safety by detecting abnormal conditions and automatically adjusting or terminating therapy when necessary, compensating for the lack of staff monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If cryogenic physical therapy device is controlled by specialized staff, then therapy process can be manually adjusted, but operational complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapy efficiencyVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical operation with automated electronic control. Users interact through simple digital interfaces to set parameters, and the system automatically manages temperature control, timing, and safety monitoring, eliminating complex manual operations while improving therapy efficiency.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary biometric verification and parameter validation before therapy begins, and pre-configures safety protocols. This advance preparation automates what would otherwise require complex manual setup and continuous monitoring during therapy, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If cryogenic physical therapy device supports single user operation, then user convenience is improved, but safety monitoring capability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsafety monitoring
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces automated biometric sensors and control algorithms as intermediaries between the user and therapy delivery. These intermediaries continuously monitor user physiological parameters and automatically adjust therapy parameters or trigger safety protocols, enabling effective safety monitoring without requiring staff presence or complicating user operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus for controlling a cryogenic physical therapy cabin, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring physical therapy information input by a user; acquiring target feature information of a target user, and controlling a cabin door of the physical therapy cabin to be opened when it is determined that the target feature information matches pre-stored feature information; controlling the cabin door of the physical therapy cabin to be closed after determining that the user enters the physical therapy cabin; adjusting a temperature of the physical therapy cabin to reach the physical therapy temperature, and recording the physical therapy duration of the user; and after determining that the physical therapy duration of the user reaches the physical therapy duration, adjusting the temperature of the physical therapy cabin to a preset temperature, and controlling the cabin door of the physical therapy cabin to be opened. The cryogenic physical therapy cabin can be controlled based on the physical therapy information input by the user and the target feature information of the target user, so as to complete the cryogenic physical therapy process to the user. There is no need for the assistance of staff and the cryogenic physical therapy cabin can be operated by a single user, thereby better meeting the cryogenic physical therapy needs of the user.
