Seat-Based Motion Detection for Adaptive Service Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing service providing apparatuses, such as those described in Patent Literature 1, lack versatility and applicability to various services as they only change settings based on the sleep state of a seated person, limiting their functionality.
Innovation Solution
A service providing apparatus equipped with detectors on a seat to detect user motion, a control device to determine service content based on detected motion, and a presentation unit to deliver the service content, allowing for a range of services to be provided to users based on their state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the apparatus only changes settings based on sleep state detection, then the control logic remains simple, but the versatility and applicability to various services deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control device is designed with multiple service functions that can be selectively activated based on detected user states. The system provides a universal platform that handles diverse services (entertainment, health monitoring, comfort control) through a unified detection and control architecture, allowing one apparatus to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate specialized devices for each function
2Measurement precision
If multiple detection methods are implemented to improve service accuracy, then the service quality improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple detection methods (motion detection, pressure detection, optical detection) into a unified detection framework where sensors are integrated into the seat structure. This merging approach allows the system to achieve high measurement precision for user state detection while maintaining a compact and integrated device architecture rather than separate complex subsystems
3Adaptability or versatility
If the apparatus provides comprehensive service functions, then the user experience improves, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user states and autonomously determines appropriate service content without requiring manual user input or configuration. The control device self-adjusts service delivery based on detected motion patterns, pressure distributions, and other physiological indicators, making the comprehensive service functions operate transparently and simplifying the user experience to passive reception of personalized services
