Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method to provide services based on user-enacted motions on electronic devices, failing to effectively utilize motion sensors and communication protocols to offer context-specific services.

Innovation Solution

A system that includes a reader to detect user motions, a request generator to create service requests, and a transmitter to send these requests to a service provider, which then selects and provides relevant services based on the motion data, using identifiers and similarity calculations to match user actions with pre-defined service triggers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If motion sensors and communication protocols are utilized to provide context-specific services, then service relevance and user interaction are enhanced, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice relevanceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables devices to automatically detect motions, generate service requests, and receive relevant services without manual intervention. The motion detection unit detects user motions, the request generator creates service requests based on detected motions, and the receiver obtains context-specific services automatically, eliminating the need for complex user configuration while maintaining high service relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

A service provider acts as an intermediary between the end device and the service execution environment. The service provider receives service requests from multiple potential sources (end device, apparatus, or server), determines the appropriate service, and delivers it to the correct target, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling versatile service delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If motion information is read and transmitted to generate service requests, then service accuracy based on user actions is improved, but data transmission and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion detection accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system transmits only the necessary motion information and identifier data required for service request generation, rather than complete sensor data streams. This partial transmission approach maintains sufficient motion detection accuracy for service triggering while minimizing data transmission volume and associated energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

Motion detection and service request generation are performed preliminarily before full service execution. The system detects motions and prepares service requests in advance, allowing for efficient batch processing and reducing the need for continuous high-power transmission operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple service providers and objects are supported in the system, then service versatility is enhanced, but system complexity and coordination requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice versatilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service provider is designed with universal functionality to handle service requests from multiple sources (end device, apparatus, or server) and to deliver services to multiple potential targets. This single multi-functional component replaces what would otherwise require multiple specialized components, reducing system complexity while maintaining service versatility

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

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of having multiple specialized service providers each handling specific service types, the system inverts the approach by using one general-purpose service provider that can handle all service types through a unified request-processing mechanism, thereby simplifying system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
