Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If transcutaneous data is acquired using a single detection area, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision is poor due to subcutaneous blood vessel distribution and noise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of blood oxygen saturation levelVSAvoidsensor structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection area is divided into multiple partial detection areas (e.g., first partial detection area and second partial detection area). Each area can be independently processed to extract biometric data, allowing the system to select areas with strong signal strength while discarding areas with weak or noisy signals, thereby improving measurement precision without requiring a completely new sensor design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different partial detection areas are treated differently based on their local characteristics. The detector evaluates signal strength in each area and selectively uses only the areas with strong signal strength for biometric data acquisition. This allows the system to adapt to local variations in subcutaneous blood vessel distribution and signal quality, improving overall measurement accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If all partial detection areas are used for data acquisition, then the productivity is high, but the measurement precision is reduced due to noise components from disturbances and body movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of biometric dataVSAvoiddata acquisition efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The detector extracts and identifies partial detection areas with strong signal strength, separating them from areas with weak or noisy signals. By taking out only the useful areas with strong signals for biometric data acquisition, the system improves measurement precision while maintaining efficient data collection from the most reliable areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously evaluates signal strength in each partial detection area and uses this feedback to determine which areas should be used for data acquisition. This feedback mechanism allows the system to dynamically select optimal areas, improving both precision and productivity by avoiding noisy areas while maintaining efficient data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
