Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for performing an alarm operation through mobile devices are inconvenient due to the need for manual input of information, which can be time-consuming and may fail in restricted environments, especially when users are in a dangerous state and need to quickly alert others.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a detecting component to obtain physiological feature parameters, such as heart rate or blood pressure, and input components to receive verification information, allowing the device to automatically switch to an alarm mode and transmit pre-stored information to a designated object when preset conditions are met, ensuring quick and secure alerting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual input of information is required for alarm operation, then the device can perform verification and control functions, but the operation becomes time-consuming and may fail in restricted environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealarm operation convenienceVSAvoidtime required for alarm setup
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring alarm parameters, contact information, and verification codes before an emergency occurs. When danger is detected through physiological parameter monitoring, the system can immediately execute pre-planned alarm sequences without requiring manual input during the critical moment, thus eliminating time loss and improving operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically detecting dangerous states through physiological parameter monitoring and initiating alarm operations without human intervention. The device monitors its own status, makes decisions about when to alarm, and executes the alarm sequence autonomously, thereby eliminating the need for manual input and reducing time requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual verification information input is required, then the device can ensure security through verification, but the operation may fail when users are in a dangerous state and need quick alerting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealarm operation reliabilityVSAvoidalarm operation accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically verifying user identity and initiating alarm operations without requiring manual input. The device monitors physiological parameters, automatically identifies dangerous states, and executes pre-configured alarm sequences autonomously, ensuring reliable operation even when users are unable to manually input verification information due to emergency situations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical input methods with automated electronic detection and verification systems. Instead of requiring users to manually input verification codes or passwords, the system uses physiological parameter monitoring and automatic code generation to verify identity and trigger alarms, thereby maintaining security while improving accessibility in emergency situations.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If the device requires normal operating mode for verification, then the device maintains normal functionality, but the alarm function may not be accessible when needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperating mode flexibilityVSAvoidalarm mode accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamics by allowing automatic transition between normal operating mode and alarm mode based on real-time physiological parameter monitoring. When dangerous states are detected, the device dynamically switches from normal operation to alarm execution without requiring manual mode switching, thereby adapting to changing situations and ensuring alarm accessibility when needed most.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device performs self-service by automatically determining when to switch from normal operating mode to alarm mode based on physiological parameter analysis. The system monitors its own state, identifies dangerous conditions, and autonomously transitions to alarm execution, eliminating the need for manual mode switching and ensuring the alarm function is always accessible when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
