Solution Overview

Problem

Current health measurement devices and applications provide delayed and incomplete feedback, lack real-time compatibility with health measurement devices, and do not facilitate easy comparison of user health data with others, making it difficult to assess individual and group health state indices effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and electronic device that activates a health-related application, identifies user accounts, receives health measurement data, compares it with similar group accounts based on predetermined references, and displays user and comparative health state data for enhanced analysis and feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If health applications display only basic health information, then the application is simple to operate, but the user cannot obtain comprehensive health state identification and must use delayed feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth information completenessVSAvoidapplication complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments health information display into multiple levels: basic health information (e.g., step count, calories) and detailed health state information (e.g., health state identification, comparison with similar users). The system provides basic information by default and allows users to access detailed information through specific actions, thereby reducing information loss while maintaining application simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Speed

If health applications use delayed feedback for health measurement data, then the application is easier to implement, but the user cannot receive real-time health state feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where health measurement data is processed and presented to users in real-time through health state identification. The system compares user health data with similar group accounts and provides immediate feedback through the display interface, enabling users to understand their health state without delay while maintaining manageable system complexity through efficient data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If health applications lack compatibility with health measurement devices, then the application is simpler to develop, but the user cannot receive real-time health measurement data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universal compatibility with multiple health measurement devices through standardized data interfaces. The system can receive and process health measurement data from various devices (e.g., step counters, heart rate monitors) without requiring device-specific implementations, thereby enhancing adaptability while controlling integration complexity through a unified data processing approach.

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

4Loss of information

If health applications do not provide comparison with other users, then the application is simpler to implement, but the user cannot recognize objective average health state index or health rank

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth state reference informationVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces similar group accounts as an intermediary to compare user health data with others. The system identifies users with similar characteristics (e.g., age, gender, health metrics) and presents their health data for comparison, enabling users to recognize objective average health state indices and their own health ranks while managing data processing complexity through targeted comparisons rather than comprehensive user base analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed is a method of displaying health information by an electronic device. The method includes: activating an application providing at least one piece of health-related information; identifying a user account pre-stored in the application and receiving health state measurement data of the user account; receiving pieces of health state measurement data of similar group accounts from a host device; determining an account with which to be compared among the similar group accounts based on a predetermined reference and identifying health state measurement data of the account with which to be compared; and displaying the health state measurement data of the user account and the health state measurement data of the account with which to be compared.
