Communication System with Psychological State Timing Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems lack the ability to determine optimal timing for message delivery based on the recipient's psychological state, making it difficult to transmit messages effectively, as existing technologies do not account for the recipient's feelings or timing preferences.
Innovation Solution
A communication system and method that include a communication unit for receiving scheduling requests and a control unit to notify the recipient of a message at a predetermined timing based on the message content and the recipient's current or past psychological situation, utilizing sensor data from wearable devices to estimate the recipient's psychological state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If messages are delivered in real time via e-mail or online chat, then message transmission speed is improved, but the ability to transmit messages at optimal timing based on receiver's psychological state deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and analyzing the receiver's psychological state data in advance before message transmission. The message is delivered at a predetermined timing based on pre-analyzed psychological states, allowing the system to optimize transmission timing without delaying the message itself.
2Reliability
If message transmission timing is delayed to match receiver's psychological state, then communication effectiveness is improved, but message transmission speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that analyzes psychological state data and determines optimal transmission timing without directly delaying the message. The intermediary component processes the timing decision independently, allowing the message content to remain ready for immediate transmission while selecting the best moment based on receiver state.
3Reliability
If the system monitors psychological state data to determine optimal timing, then message reception quality is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves multi-functionality by using the same communication infrastructure to both transmit messages and collect psychological state data. The communication unit serves dual purposes: delivering messages and gathering data about the receiver's state, thereby reducing the need for separate monitoring systems and lowering overall complexity.
4Measurement precision
If real-time psychological state monitoring is implemented, then optimal timing accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial monitoring by selectively analyzing psychological state data rather than continuously processing all available data in real-time. The control unit determines sufficient timing information from partial data sets, achieving adequate timing accuracy without the energy cost of exhaustive real-time analysis of every data point.

AI summary
Aspects of the present application provide a communication system that includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit is configured to receive, from a communication source, a scheduling request for scheduling transmission of a message to a specific communication destination. The control unit is configured to perform control such that the communication destination is notified of existence of the message at a predetermined timing in accordance with content of the message and a current or past psychological situation of a user corresponding to the specific communication destination received by the communication unit.
