Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a person receives medical examination again to know health condition improvement, then measurement precision of health condition is improved, but loss of time and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth condition measurementVSAvoidtime between examinations
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a simulation system as an intermediary between the medical examination system and the user. This simulation system uses a training model to estimate health condition changes based on effort information, providing continuous feedback without requiring repeated medical examinations. The simulation system acts as a mediator that translates effort data into estimated health outcomes, resolving the contradiction by eliminating the need for frequent physical examinations while maintaining measurement precision through computational modeling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical medical examination process with a computational simulation system. Instead of physically visiting a hospital for repeated examinations, users can input effort information into the simulation system, which then calculates estimated health condition changes using a training model. This substitution of mechanical examination with computational modeling maintains measurement precision while significantly reducing time loss and improving ease of operation.

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

2Measurement precision

If a person receives medical examination again to know health condition improvement, then measurement precision of health condition is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth condition measurementVSAvoidexamination system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation system serves as an intermediary that simplifies the overall system architecture. Instead of requiring complex repeated medical examination processes, the system uses a training model to simulate health condition changes based on effort information. This intermediary simulation approach maintains measurement precision while reducing device complexity by eliminating the need for repeated physical examination infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex mechanical medical examination systems with a computational simulation system. The training model processes effort information and outputs estimated health condition changes, substituting the complex mechanical examination process with a simpler computational system that maintains measurement precision without requiring repeated hospital visits or complex examination equipment.

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

3Productivity

If a person works on healthy action without knowing health improvement, then productivity of healthy action decreases, but loss of information about health change occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealthy action effectivenessVSAvoidhealth condition change information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation system provides continuous feedback to users about estimated health condition changes based on their effort information. By calculating and presenting estimated health condition changes after each effort input, the system creates a feedback loop that informs users of the effectiveness of their healthy actions. This feedback mechanism maintains high productivity of healthy actions by providing motivation and guidance, while preventing information loss by continuously tracking and presenting health condition changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Ease of operation

If a person works on healthy action without knowing health improvement, then ease of operation of health management decreases, but loss of motivation occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth managementVSAvoidhealth condition change information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation system implements feedback by calculating and presenting estimated health condition changes based on effort information. This feedback mechanism provides users with clear information about health condition changes, maintaining motivation and improving ease of operation. Users can see the direct relationship between their efforts and health outcomes, making the health management process more engaging and easier to operate consistently.

Inventive Principle:
