Health Event Logging And Coaching With Unified Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for logging health-related events and health-related coaching on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring complex user interfaces that consume time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of faster and more efficient methods and interfaces for logging health-related events and coaching, which reduce cognitive burden and conserve power by allowing for the simultaneous input of actions and user sentiments, thereby enhancing user productivity and device efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used for logging health-related events, then health events can be logged, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming with multiple key presses or keystrokes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple input fields (action type, sentiment, intensity) into a single unified input interface. Users can log health events with all relevant details by providing one input, eliminating the need for multiple separate key presses or keystrokes required by existing techniques.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing techniques are used for health-related coaching, then coaching functionality is provided, but device energy is wasted due to complex interfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary interface complexity from the health coaching system. By removing redundant input steps and simplifying the user interface, the system maintains full coaching functionality while significantly reducing device energy consumption.
3Loss of information
If multiple key presses or keystrokes are required, then detailed health events can be logged, but user time and device energy are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the input system to capture multiple health event parameters (action type, sentiment, intensity) simultaneously through a single user input. This eliminates the need for sequential data entry while preserving all detailed information about health events.

AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to logging health-related events and for health-related coaching. In some embodiments, an event is logged by associating an action with a specific time and a user sentiment. In some embodiments, an event challenge, associated with a log entry, is transmitted to an external electronic device.
