Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces learning models as intermediary components between the piezoelectric element and the sensitivity information output. The learning model processes the raw biological data from the piezoelectric element and transforms it into meaningful sensitivity information, thereby bridging the gap between measurement capability and information output capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces direct mechanical or physical interpretation of piezoelectric output with a computational intelligence approach. Instead of using traditional signal processing methods, the system employs machine learning models to interpret the biological data and extract sensitivity information, substituting conventional methods with AI-based processing

AI summary

A model generating method causing a computer to execute processing of acquiring electroencephalographic data of subjects based on outputs of an electroencephalograph, acquiring sensitivity information of the subjects by inputting the acquired electroencephalographic data to a first learning model trained to output the sensitivity information in accordance with input of the electroencephalographic data, acquiring biological data of the subjects based on outputs of a piezoelectric element, and generating a second learning model for outputting the sensitivity information of a person being tested by using a data set including the acquired biological data and the sensitivity information of the subjects acquired from the first learning model as training data when the biological data of the person measured by the piezoelectric element is input.
