Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for expressing emotions over the Internet are limited in their ability to convey complex emotions and fail to effectively transmit emotional experiences from one user to another, relying on simple symbols or icons that cannot make quantitative adjustments or evoke direct emotional experiences in recipients.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating and experiencing emotion scripts using measurable physiological parameters, such as heart rate and blood pressure, to create emotion data that can be used to generate and actuate emotion scripts, allowing for the expression and transmission of emotions through predefined templates and various mediums like audio or lighting systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If simple symbols or icons are used to express emotions, then the communication is easy and quick, but the emotional expression is limited and cannot convey complex emotions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of emotion expressionVSAvoidemotional expression capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms emotional expression from static symbols to dynamic physiological parameters. By measuring real-time physiological data (heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductance, etc.) and mapping these parameters to emotional states, the system enables continuous, nuanced emotional expression that adapts to the user's actual emotional condition rather than relying on limited predefined icons.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If simple emotion icons are used, then the transmission is fast and simple, but the emotional experience cannot be effectively transmitted from one user to another

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotion transmission speedVSAvoidemotional experience fidelity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital copy of the user's physiological emotional state through emotion scripts that encapsulate measured physiological parameters. These scripts are transmitted to recipients who can then experience the same emotional state through actuation mechanisms, effectively copying and reproducing the original emotional experience rather than merely symbolizing it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If measurable physiological parameters are used to generate emotion data, then the emotional expression becomes more accurate and nuanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotion measurement accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a multi-functional emotion script generating apparatus that integrates multiple physiological sensing capabilities (heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductance, temperature, respiration) into a single unified system. This apparatus can generate different types of emotion data depending on which sensors are activated, providing versatile emotional measurement without requiring separate systems for each physiological parameter.

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

4Productivity

If emotion scripts are generated using predefined templates, then the generation process is rapid and efficient, but the customization and adaptability to individual users may be limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotion script generation speedVSAvoiduser-specific emotion adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a dynamic emotion script generation system where templates serve as initial structures but are continuously adapted based on real-time physiological measurements. The system can modify template parameters dynamically to match the user's actual emotional state, combining the efficiency of predefined templates with the adaptability of real-time customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
