Solution Overview

Problem

Current mood-adjusting systems and methods, such as those used in relaxation platforms like Calm and Headspace, are inefficient and ineffective in automatically tuning to the right settings for individual users, requiring laborious production and a one-size-fits-all approach, which results in mediocre outcomes and lack of personalized experiences.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses real-time biosensors and artificial intelligence to adjust sensory stimuli, such as soundscapes, based on measured biosignals from the subject, providing a personalized and automated relaxation experience by generating soundscape signals to induce desired mood changes.

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors biosignals and adjusts sensory stimuli without requiring manual intervention or professional operation. The AI algorithm self-regulates the mood adjustment process by continuously analyzing biosignal data and autonomously modifying stimulus parameters, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminating the need for complex manual control interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements closed-loop feedback by continuously monitoring biosignals (heart rate, skin conductance, respiration) and using this real-time data to dynamically adjust sensory stimuli. The AI algorithm processes the feedback from biosensors and automatically modifies stimulus intensity and type to achieve optimal mood adjustment, creating an adaptive control system that responds to individual user needs.

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a single integrated platform that can deliver multiple mood adjustment programs and stimulus types (auditory, visual, tactile) through one device. The AI algorithm serves as a universal controller that adapts to different user needs and conditions, eliminating the need for multiple specialized devices or complex manual configuration systems, thereby simplifying manufacturing while maintaining personalized effectiveness.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically personalizes the relaxation experience by monitoring individual biosignals and adapting stimuli without requiring manual programming or professional setup. This self-personalization capability eliminates the need for complex manufacturing processes that would be required to create multiple pre-configured personalized systems, while still delivering tailored effectiveness to each user.

Inventive Principle:
