Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of effective communication and integration between dermatology clinics and skin care shops, leading to inadequate post-treatment care and the need for additional treatments that are not appropriately managed.

Innovation Solution

A skin care system integrating a mobile terminal, dermatology hospital terminal, and skin care shop terminal to facilitate the exchange of user information, skin condition data, treatment information, and post-treatment management, enabling customized skin diagnosis, treatment, and management through linked operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If dermatology clinics and skin care shops operate independently without information exchange, then each institution can maintain simple operational procedures, but post-treatment care accuracy and effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepost-treatment care accuracyVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the information systems of dermatology clinics and skin care shops into a unified platform. The terminal device at the skin care shop connects to the clinic's treatment information system, allowing real-time access to treatment records, skin condition data, and care instructions. This integration ensures that post-treatment care is accurately aligned with clinical interventions while maintaining operational simplicity through centralized data management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a terminal device as an intermediary between the dermatology clinic and skin care shop. This intermediary automatically transmits treatment information from the clinic to the skin care shop, eliminating the need for manual information exchange. The terminal device handles data synchronization, ensuring that skin care professionals receive accurate treatment information without increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If additional treatment is required after initial skin care, then treatment effectiveness can be improved, but appropriate measures are not taken due to lack of communication between institutions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidinformation exchange between institutions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device continuously monitors skin condition changes and treatment outcomes. When additional treatment is needed, the system automatically communicates this requirement back to the dermatology clinic. The clinic can then adjust the treatment plan and transmit updated instructions to the skin care shop, ensuring that additional treatments are appropriately coordinated and information is not lost between institutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
