Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic medical record systems have cumbersome interfaces that make it difficult for users to access and manage medical information, particularly for unprofessional users like patients, and are not adaptable to diverse user terminals such as tablet PCs and mobile phones, hindering the ability to track time-series changes in patient records.

Innovation Solution

A medical information query and input system that displays patient information in sections divided by dates and fields, allowing users to input information by dragging and dropping sections, with a processor that generates and processes medical information to create a user-friendly interface for easy data retrieval and input across various devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If medical information is displayed through different windows according to dates or medical information types in a conventional system, then information organization is achieved, but it becomes difficult for users to check time-series changes and the interface becomes cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of querying medical informationVSAvoidinterface structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into multiple sections, each corresponding to a specific date, with information organized by medical fields within each date section. This allows users to view time-series changes while maintaining clear organization, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension by arranging sections in chronological order on the interface. Users can horizontally scroll through dates while vertically viewing different medical fields, creating a two-dimensional navigation system that simplifies time-series analysis without increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional library-style interface is used for accessing electronic medical records, then information storage and retrieval are achieved, but the procedure becomes cumbersome and adaptability to diverse user terminals deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user terminalsVSAvoidprocedure simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface design is universal and adaptable to multiple user terminals including tablets, mobile phones, and desktop computers. The responsive layout automatically adjusts to different screen sizes and input methods, maintaining ease of operation across diverse devices while providing comprehensive medical record access functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If medical information is displayed in a conventional system with separate windows, then data organization is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates and readability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidreadability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The interface segments medical information by date and medical field, creating clearly defined sections that improve readability. Each section contains relevant information for that specific date and field, preventing information overload while maintaining comprehensive data organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a two-dimensional layout where the horizontal axis represents time (dates) and the vertical axis represents medical fields. This dimensional organization improves readability by presenting information in a structured grid format that is easier to scan and understand compared to conventional single-window displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
