Solution Overview

Problem

In IoT environments, existing technologies lack the ability to dynamically adapt and personalize content based on the real-time biometric feedback of users, such as brainwave information, leading to suboptimal learning experiences.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that receive biometric information from users, determine their learning state, and adjust content accordingly by modifying aspects like concentration, understanding, and stress levels, through output changes such as adding sub-content, altering object properties, and adjusting timing and frequency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is provided without real-time biometric feedback, then the system complexity is low, but the adaptability and personalization of content delivery deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously receives biometric information from sensing devices and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust content characteristics. The controller modifies content in real-time based on detected learning states, creating a closed-loop system that improves content adaptability through continuous biometric feedback processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The content delivery system transitions from static to dynamic operation by continuously adjusting content characteristics based on real-time biometric data. The system adapts content parameters such as complexity, pace, and type dynamically during the learning process, making the content delivery flexible and responsive to user state changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If biometric sensing devices are integrated into the content delivery system, then the measurement precision of user learning state is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing device acts as an intermediary between the user and the content delivery system. It captures biometric information and transmits it to the controller, which processes the data and adjusts content accordingly. This intermediary structure enables precise learning state detection while maintaining modular system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
