Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If measurement results are displayed only on local display units, then device portability is maintained, but real-time remote monitoring capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidremote monitoring capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary data processing system that includes a data processing unit and communication unit. This intermediary processes physiological data locally and transmits only essential results to remote terminals, enabling remote monitoring without requiring the main measurement device to have high computational power or large data storage capacity, thus maintaining portability while achieving remote monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If all physiological data are transmitted to remote databases, then complete data analysis is achieved, but data transmission burden and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and processes key physiological parameters (such as maximum, minimum, and average values) from the complete physiological data set locally using a data processing unit. Only these extracted key parameters are transmitted to remote databases, rather than transmitting all raw data. This reduces data transmission burden and processing complexity while maintaining the completeness of essential information for medical analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If manual transmission methods are used for measurement results, then device simplicity is maintained, but transmission efficiency and real-time capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice simplicityVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements an automatic data transmission system where the measurement device automatically transmits processed physiological data to remote terminals through communication units without requiring manual intervention. The system performs self-service by automatically managing data processing, formatting, and transmission, thereby maintaining device simplicity while dramatically improving transmission efficiency and enabling real-time monitoring capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention provides a portable sensing and operational device, which uses a sensing module to receive the sensing signal transmitted by the sensor and produce a sensing datum correspondingly. Then an operational circuit operates a first matrix and a second matrix according to the sensing datum. The first matrix corresponds to a plurality of maximum values; the second matrix corresponds to a plurality of minimum values. The operational circuit operates to generate at least a component by decomposing the first matrix and the second matrix. The component is provided to an output circuit for outputting the component to an electronic device.
