Mood-Conscious Interaction Device Using Biomedical Sensor Color Signals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication methods via the internet lack the ability to convey users' moods, affecting the effectiveness of interactions.
Innovation Solution
A mood-conscious interaction device equipped with a biomedical sensor, processor, and indicator lights that detect physiological data to display the user's mood through color changes, allowing others to visually recognize their emotional state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional text, image, video, and audio communication methods are used, then communication channels are established, but the user's mood cannot be conveyed to other users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes to indicator lights to represent different user moods. The processor determines which color of indicator lights should be turned on based on physiological data, and the indicator lights display the determined color to indicate the emotion or mood of the user. This converts invisible mood information into visible color signals that can be transmitted through communication channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces indicator lights as an intermediary device to convey mood information. The indicator lights act as a mediator between the user's internal emotional state and external communication, translating physiological data into visual signals that can be perceived by other users during interaction.
2Loss of information
If biomedical sensors and indicator lights are added to display mood, then mood information is conveyed visually, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The interaction device integrates multiple functions into a single system: biomedical sensors detect physiological data, the processor analyzes this data to determine mood states, and indicator lights display the corresponding colors. This multi-functional integration allows the device to both monitor health metrics and communicate emotional states without requiring separate dedicated devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The device automatically detects physiological data through integrated biomedical sensors and self-determines the user's mood state without requiring manual input. The processor autonomously processes the physiological data and controls the indicator lights to display the appropriate color, enabling the system to serve itself in conveying mood information.
Data Source
AI summary
A mood-conscious interaction device detects at least one physiological data of a user, and turns on a light with a color which corresponds to the physiological data. Thus, other users can know a mood or emotion of the user according to the color of the light, and the moods or emotion of the other users can be made known to the user during communications.
