Solution Overview

Problem

Current risk assessment methods rely heavily on demographic data, such as age and occupation, which may not accurately capture an individual's behavior patterns, leading to incomplete risk profiling and ineffective risk mitigation strategies.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and heart rate monitors to collect data, combined with machine learning algorithms, to analyze user behavior patterns and determine risk scores, thereby selecting appropriate test groups for personalized risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional demographic data (age, occupation, etc.) is used for risk assessment, then the assessment process is simple and quick, but the accuracy and completeness of risk profiling is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk assessment accuracyVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the risk assessment system into multiple data sources: traditional demographic data, sensor data from wearable devices (accelerometers, gyroscopes, heart rate monitors), and environmental data. Each segment contributes specific information that, when combined, creates a comprehensive risk profile that is more accurate than any single data source alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple types of data (demographic, sensor, environmental) and multiple measurement methods into a unified risk assessment model. This combination allows the system to capture both traditional risk factors and behavioral patterns, resulting in more complete and accurate risk profiling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If sensor data collection is implemented to capture behavior patterns, then risk profiling completeness improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior pattern information completenessVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces machine learning algorithms as an intermediary between raw sensor data and risk assessment results. These algorithms automatically process, analyze, and interpret sensor data to extract meaningful behavior patterns, reducing the manual processing complexity while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual data analysis methods with automated machine learning systems. The machine learning models automatically identify behavior patterns from sensor data without requiring manual intervention, significantly reducing processing complexity while capturing comprehensive behavioral information.

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

3Measurement precision

If machine learning algorithms are used to analyze behavior patterns, then risk score accuracy improves, but computational requirements and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk score accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-training machine learning models on extensive datasets before deployment. This pre-training allows the models to quickly process new sensor data and generate risk assessments without requiring extensive computation during actual risk evaluation, reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
