Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional self-monitoring blood glucose methods are used, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision and frequency are insufficient leading to delayed detection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary receiver device that acts as a mediator between the sensor and the user. The receiver collects data from the sensor, processes it, and presents it through various display modes, thereby improving measurement precision without requiring the user to directly interact with complex sensor electronics.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical blood glucose testing with an automated electrochemical sensor system that continuously monitors glucose levels. This substitution eliminates the need for finger pricks and manual meter readings, providing continuous precise data without increasing user-facing complexity.
2Productivity
If continuous monitoring is implemented, then the productivity of glucose detection is improved, but the device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by having the receiver display glucose data at different rates depending on the situation. The system can switch between continuous monitoring mode and periodic sampling mode, allowing continuous data collection when needed while reducing energy consumption during normal operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the monitoring system adaptable to user needs. The receiver can dynamically adjust its monitoring intensity and display frequency based on glucose level trends, alarm conditions, and user preferences, optimizing the balance between productivity and energy consumption.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display modes are provided, then the adaptability of the system is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single receiver device that can perform multiple functions: displaying current glucose values, showing trends over time, providing alarm notifications, and offering data export capabilities. This multi-functional approach improves adaptability without requiring multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes to provide multiple display modes. By allowing users to adjust display parameters such as time range, data granularity, and visualization type, the system achieves versatility without adding significant complexity. The same hardware supports multiple functions through software parameter configuration.
