Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional personalized nutrient services struggle to reflect real-time changes in a user's health condition due to batch production methods, resulting in delayed adaptation and suboptimal dosage forms.

Innovation Solution

A dispensing device and server system that processes current health condition information in real-time to calculate and dispense optimized dosage forms, allowing for continuous adjustment of nutritional compositions based on user-specific data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If batch production methods are used in factories, then production efficiency and cost-effectiveness are improved, but the ability to reflect real-time changes in user health condition deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidability to reflect real-time health changes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the nutrient production process into two distinct stages: (1) batch production at the factory for cost-effectiveness, and (2) final customization and assembly at the dispensing device for real-time adaptation. This segmentation allows each stage to optimize for its specific function while collectively resolving the contradiction between production efficiency and real-time adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-producing nutrient components in batches at the factory, then storing them for later assembly. This allows the bulk production to be completed in advance with high efficiency, while the final customization using real-time health data occurs only when needed, eliminating the need for continuous real-time production capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If customized nutrients are produced in factories with minimum production quantity, then production cost is reduced, but the frequency of updating dosage forms deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction costVSAvoidupdate frequency of dosage forms
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the product into modular nutrient components that can be independently produced in batch at the factory and then dynamically assembled at the dispensing device. This segmentation enables low-cost batch production while allowing frequent recombination into different dosage forms based on current health data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system (the dispensing device and server) that acts as a bridge between the factory-produced nutrient components and the user. This intermediary receives real-time health data, calculates optimal dosage combinations, and assembles the final customized nutrient product, enabling frequent updates without requiring frequent factory production cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If health information is collected through medical examination-by-interview, then comprehensive health data is obtained, but real-time collection capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of health dataVSAvoidreal-time collection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple health data collection methods: traditional medical examination-by-interview for comprehensive baseline data, supplemented by continuous automated collection through wearable devices and mobile apps for real-time monitoring. This combination preserves the completeness of comprehensive health assessments while adding real-time data collection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary comprehensive health assessment through medical examination-by-interview to establish baseline health information, then uses this preliminary data combined with ongoing real-time data from wearable devices to update dosage recommendations. This allows the system to maintain comprehensive health understanding while achieving real-time adaptability through incremental data updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
