Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for social interaction deficits in autism spectrum disorder are costly, limited, and lack effective evaluation methods for learning outcomes using digital therapeutic devices.

Innovation Solution

A digital therapeutic system that includes a user terminal and a server providing cognitive behavioral therapy content, with an evaluation unit to determine the validity of user responses and learning results, using criteria such as conversation speed, emotion recognition, and pronunciation correction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If digital therapeutic devices are used to provide therapy content to individuals with autism spectrum disorder, then accessibility and cost-effectiveness are improved, but the reliability of learning result evaluation deteriorates due to inability to accurately determine valid responses

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidevaluation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by analyzing user responses through multiple criteria (response time, emotion recognition, pronunciation accuracy) and using this feedback to determine whether responses are valid for evaluation, thereby improving evaluation reliability while maintaining digital accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual evaluation mechanisms with automated analysis systems that use algorithms to assess response validity based on multiple parameters including response time, emotion recognition, and pronunciation correction, enabling reliable automated evaluation of learning outcomes

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

2Measurement precision

If traditional face-to-face therapy is provided to individuals with autism spectrum disorder, then evaluation accuracy is improved, but treatment cost and accessibility limitations worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidaccessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a digital copy of face-to-face therapy evaluation processes, replicating the essential evaluation functions through software-based analysis of user responses, emotions, and pronunciation, making accurate evaluation accessible through digital devices without requiring physical therapist presence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary automated evaluation system that mediates between the user and the therapy outcomes, using algorithms to analyze and evaluate learning results based on multiple criteria, thereby providing accurate evaluation without direct therapist involvement for every interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If multiple evaluation criteria are implemented to determine response validity, then evaluation reliability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the evaluation process into distinct modular criteria (response time analysis, emotion recognition, pronunciation assessment), each handled by separate functional components, making the complex evaluation system more manageable and maintainable while improving overall reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
