Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electrocardiogram (ECG) technologies, while enabling wearable measurements, lack effective methods for displaying and managing heart function data outside clinical settings, particularly for chronic heart disease patients and healthy individuals seeking heart function tracking.

Innovation Solution

A physiological parameter display system comprising a terminal, server, and wireless sensor that allows for real-time and long-term data analysis and visualization through multiple working modes, enabling users to monitor heart rate, arrhythmias, and long-term trends, with the terminal capable of direct analysis and receiving server-processed results for intuitive abnormality detection and management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wearable electrocardiogram measuring apparatuses are used, then the electrocardiogram function can be brought into homes, but the data display and heart function management effectiveness remains insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of useVSAvoiddata display effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the data display into multiple working modes (real-time parameter mode, real-time monitoring mode, event measurement mode, segment dynamic recording mode, long-time big-data mode) to segment different types of information. Each mode handles specific aspects of ECG data, making the overall system more manageable and easier to use while preventing information overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a working mode switching mechanism that adds a dimensional layer to data presentation. Instead of displaying all data at once, the system transitions between different dimensional views (real-time, historical, aggregated, detailed) to make information more accessible and meaningful for users.

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

2Productivity

If multiple working modes are provided for data analysis, then data management effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata management effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal working mode selection mechanism that allows a single system to perform multiple data management functions. The same terminal and server infrastructure supports all five working modes, eliminating the need for separate systems for each data analysis type while maintaining high productivity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts its behavior based on the selected working mode. The terminal and server adjust their processing and display characteristics according to the current mode (real-time vs. historical vs. aggregated), allowing the system to optimize performance for each specific task without permanent complex infrastructure for all modes simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If real-time and long-term data analysis is enabled, then heart function management is improved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheart function management qualityVSAvoiddata processing power
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the wearable device and the user terminal. The server handles computationally intensive tasks such as long-term data aggregation, trend analysis, and complex pattern recognition, while the terminal focuses on real-time display and simple queries. This division reduces the processing power requirements at each individual component level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data processing and aggregation on the server before data reaches the user terminal. Historical data is pre-processed into meaningful insights, trends, and summaries, so that when users access the data, they receive ready-to-understand information rather than raw datasets requiring extensive processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
