Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods fail to provide a simple means to estimate insurance premiums and beauty levels of pet animals based on their intestinal microbiota diversity, making it difficult for owners to manage health and financial burdens effectively.

Innovation Solution

An insurance premium calculation system and beauty level estimation system that utilize diversity data of pet animals' intestinal microbiota, incorporating a correlation between microbiota diversity and insurance risk or beauty level, allowing for accurate prediction of financial burdens and aesthetic qualities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional insurance premium calculation methods are used for pet animals, then the calculation process is simple, but the accuracy of predicting financial burdens and health risks is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of insurance premium predictionVSAvoidcomplexity of calculation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces intestinal microbiota diversity data as an intermediary factor between pet animal health status and insurance premium calculation. By using microbiota diversity as a mediator, the system can accurately predict health risks and financial burdens without requiring complex direct measurements of animal health parameters, thus improving prediction accuracy while maintaining system feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/physical inspection methods with biochemical analysis of intestinal microbiota. Instead of relying on physical examinations or observable symptoms, the system uses molecular data from fecal samples to calculate insurance premiums, enabling more accurate predictions while simplifying the overall assessment process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If physical examination methods are used to assess animal health, then the assessment is straightforward, but the detection of early-stage illnesses and internal health conditions is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracy of health conditionsVSAvoiddifficulty of detecting internal health status
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses intestinal microbiota composition as an intermediary indicator to detect internal health conditions. Since microbiota in the intestine reflects overall health status including immune function, metabolism, and inflammation, analyzing fecal samples provides non-invasive access to internal health information that would be difficult to detect through physical examination alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes physical examination with biochemical analysis of fecal microbiota. This replacement enables detection of early-stage illnesses and internal health conditions through molecular markers in stool samples, overcoming the limitations of physical examination in detecting hidden health issues

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If owners manually assess their pet's beauty level and health, then the assessment is simple, but the objectivity and accuracy of the assessment is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobjectivity of beauty level assessmentVSAvoidease of beauty assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces microbiota diversity data as an objective intermediary measure to assess pet beauty and health levels. Instead of relying on subjective owner perceptions, the system uses quantifiable microbial community composition as a mediator to objectively determine beauty levels, providing accurate and unbiased assessments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces subjective manual assessment with objective biochemical measurement of intestinal microbiota. This substitution provides quantitative, reproducible data for beauty level assessment, eliminating the subjectivity and inaccuracy inherent in manual evaluations while maintaining ease of use through automated analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
