Innovation Solution

A nondestructive immunity induction therapy apparatus using an infrared light generating device with a specific optical system and light source control circuit, which includes a light source focusing group, homogenizing group, focusing and regulating group, and collimating group, to deliver infrared light safely and effectively to skin lesions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If destructive physical methods (laser, cryotherapy) are used to treat skin lesions, then treatment efficacy is improved, but patient pain and trauma increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment efficacyVSAvoidpatient pain and trauma
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical parameter of light wavelength to infrared range (700nm-1mm), which penetrates deeper into skin tissue and stimulates immune cells without causing the thermal damage associated with visible light lasers. This parameter change enables effective treatment while avoiding patient pain and trauma.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical destructive methods (laser ablation, cryotherapy freezing) with optical stimulation using infrared light. Instead of physically destroying tissue, the system uses infrared photons to stimulate immune cell activity, achieving treatment through biological response rather than mechanical force.

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

2Reliability

If destructive physical methods are used to remove skin tumors, then disease curing is improved, but skin disfigurement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease curingVSAvoidskin appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes mechanical destruction with optical immunomodulation. Infrared light stimulates the patient's own immune system to naturally eliminate abnormal cells, preserving skin integrity and appearance while achieving therapeutic goals. This avoids the scarring and disfigurement inherent in laser ablation and cryotherapy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the patient's immune system to perform the therapeutic work autonomously. Infrared light activation triggers immune cells to naturally identify and eliminate abnormal skin cells, replacing external mechanical destruction with internal biological self-regulation, thereby preserving skin appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If complex optical systems are used to regulate infrared light, then treatment precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment precisionVSAvoidoptical system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the optical system into four functional modules: light source focusing group, light homogenizing group, homogenized-light focusing and focus regulating group, and homogenized-light collimating group. Each group performs a specific function, making the complex system more manageable and easier to manufacture with precise tolerances for each component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
