Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for updating assay parameters of in-vitro diagnostic reagents are inefficient, leading to slow data updating speeds due to the need for a new data carrier and manual data transmission processes.

Innovation Solution

An in-vitro diagnostic device parameter updating method that identifies and collects assay parameter identifiers, sends data processing requests to a data service platform, and updates local parameters using a third-party or manufacturer service platform, enabling efficient data retrieval and transmission through wireless communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a new data carrier is delivered to the client only when the assay parameter needs to be updated, then the data acquisition efficiency is low, but the data updating speed is slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata acquisition efficiencyVSAvoiddata updating speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system proactively pushes assay parameter updates to the diagnostic device before the user needs to request them. The manufacturer service platform monitors parameter changes and automatically transmits updated parameters to the client's device, eliminating the waiting time for users to manually check for updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the manufacturer service platform receives information about parameter updates and automatically responds by pushing the updated data to the client's device. This closed-loop feedback system ensures timely delivery of updated parameters without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Speed

If manual data transmission processes are used, then the data transmission speed is slow, but the complexity of the system is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The manufacturer service platform acts as an intermediary between the parameter source and the client's diagnostic device. It automatically receives parameter updates, processes them, and transmits them to the appropriate devices, replacing manual data transmission processes with an automated intermediary system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical data transmission processes (physical data carriers, manual copying) with automated electronic data transmission through the manufacturer service platform, significantly increasing data transmission speed while accepting increased system complexity.

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

3Reliability

If physical data carriers are used for parameter updates, then the data transmission is reliable, but the data acquisition efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoiddata acquisition efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces physical data carriers (mechanical/optical media) with electronic data transmission through the manufacturer service platform. This substitution maintains data transmission reliability through error checking and verification protocols while dramatically improving data acquisition efficiency by eliminating physical media handling.

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