Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack an effective method to analyze and diagnose medical conditions or assess the impact of interventions using dynamic measures of text or speech richness, which is crucial for monitoring changes in human communication patterns.

Innovation Solution

The system employs Dynamic Word Entropy (DWE) analysis by calculating word entropy values for varying text portions, generating a DWE table, and applying transformation functions to determine characteristics such as speech richness and consistency, enabling the assessment of medical treatment efficacy and other interventions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional static analysis methods are used to assess text or speech, then the analysis process is simple, but the ability to capture dynamic changes in communication patterns is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic measurement capabilityVSAvoidanalysis method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the Dynamics principle by transitioning from static analysis to dynamic analysis through the introduction of Dynamic Word Entropy (DWE). The system calculates word entropy values for varying text portions and generates a DWE table that captures changes over time, enabling the detection of dynamic patterns in communication that static methods cannot identify.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension to text analysis by adding the temporal dimension through DWE calculation. Instead of analyzing text as a static whole, the system breaks it down into varying text portions and calculates entropy values across different segments, creating a multi-dimensional view that reveals dynamic characteristics of communication patterns.

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

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive text analysis is performed to accurately diagnose medical conditions, then diagnostic accuracy improves, but the time and computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the Segmentation principle by dividing the text into varying text portions and calculating word entropy for each segment independently. This segmentation allows the system to process text in manageable chunks, reducing computational burden while maintaining diagnostic accuracy through the aggregation of segment-level DWE values into a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial analysis by calculating DWE for varying text portions rather than requiring complete analysis of the entire text corpus. This partial action approach enables timely diagnostic assessments by processing representative segments that capture the essential dynamic patterns needed for accurate medical condition diagnosis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If dynamic word entropy analysis is implemented to monitor communication patterns, then the ability to detect medical conditions improves, but the complexity of the system increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces DWE tables as an intermediary structure between raw text input and diagnostic output. The DWE table serves as a mediator that transforms complex text data into structured entropy values, simplifying the subsequent analysis process and improving detection reliability by providing a standardized format for comparing communication patterns across different time points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical text analysis methods with an information-theoretic approach based on entropy calculation. By substituting conventional linguistic analysis with DWE computation, the system achieves more reliable detection of medical conditions through quantitative measures of information content and pattern variability, reducing dependence on subjective interpretation.

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