Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional massage machines allow users to select treatment courses manually, which may not be suitable for their individual needs, leading to ineffective treatments.

Innovation Solution

A massage machine and system that utilize voice input and output components to perform test manipulations, communicate with users to determine effective treatment courses, and store pre-defined massage manipulations for personalized treatment plans.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually select treatment courses, then operation simplicity is improved, but treatment suitability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidtreatment suitability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The massage machine performs self-diagnosis by automatically performing test manipulations on the user's body and detecting responses to determine the most suitable treatment course, eliminating the need for manual user selection while ensuring personalized treatment suitability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the massage machine detects user responses during test manipulations and uses this information to adjust and determine the final treatment course, ensuring the treatment is tailored to individual user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If test manipulations are performed on all body parts, then treatment accuracy is improved, but treatment time deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment accuracyVSAvoidtreatment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary test manipulations on specific body parts to quickly identify areas needing treatment, then focuses subsequent treatment on those identified areas rather than systematically treating all body parts, reducing overall treatment time while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
