Solution Overview

Problem

Current pelvic floor muscle training devices fail to directly detect contractility and provide quantitative feedback, relying on posture correction and vibration for therapeutic effects, lacking comprehensive and objective assessment of vaginal contractility.

Innovation Solution

A physical training system equipped with thin film pressure sensors and a data processing unit that detects vaginal contractility, converting analog signals to digital for visualization and providing personalized exercising settings and feedback, enabling comprehensive assessment and guiding users through exercises.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electronic equipment uses posture sensors and vibration motors to provide feedback, then therapeutic effect is improved, but measurement precision of vaginal contractility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidvaginal contractility detection
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the detection function from the therapeutic function. The detector specifically detects vaginal contractility and transmits data independently, while the stimulator provides therapeutic vibration. This separation allows precise measurement without interference from therapeutic components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a data processor as an intermediary between the detector and the user. The processor analyzes detection data and provides objective feedback about vaginal contractility, bridging the gap between raw sensor data and actionable health insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If equipment provides only vibration feedback, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of information about detailed test results increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveequipment structureVSAvoiddetailed test results
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a comprehensive feedback system that provides both vibration feedback and detailed data feedback. The data processor generates reports about detection results, giving users actionable information about their pelvic floor muscle status while maintaining relatively simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of manufacture

If equipment requires preset posture data, then manufacturing precision requirements are reduced, but adaptability to different users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveequipment productionVSAvoiduser-specific detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the detection system dynamic and adaptive. The detector and data processor work together to provide real-time, user-specific feedback without requiring preset posture data. The system adapts to each user's unique pelvic floor muscle characteristics, enhancing versatility while maintaining ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
