Sensing Data Management Using Code-Based Subject Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blood pressure monitoring systems incur increased costs due to the need for additional wireless communication modules to associate measured data with subject identification information, as they do not utilize the communication module already present in the device.
Innovation Solution
A sensing data management system that uses a code holder to encode address information of the sensing device, allowing an information communication terminal to read and transmit unique subject identification information to the device, eliminating the need for additional communication modules and enabling cost-effective data association.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If additional wireless communication modules are added to the sensing device to transmit data to mobile terminals, then data transmission capability is improved, but device cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the existing communication module in the sensing device perform multiple functions: it is used both for the original sensing data transmission and for receiving notification information containing subject identification. This eliminates the need for additional wireless modules while achieving bidirectional communication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces notification information as an intermediary carrier that contains subject identification data. This intermediary allows the sensing device to associate measurement data with subject IDs without requiring direct bidirectional communication protocols or additional hardware modules.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the sensing device stores and manages subject identification information locally, then data association capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The subject identification information is pre-stored in the information communication terminal before the measurement process. During measurement, the terminal automatically provides this pre-stored ID to the sensing device via notification information, eliminating the need for the sensing device to have complex subject management capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The information communication terminal performs the function of managing and providing subject identification information autonomously. The terminal reads its own stored subject ID and automatically transmits it to the sensing device, making the terminal self-sufficient in the identification management process.

AI summary
Sensing data can be transmitted in association with unique identification information of a subject without causing an increase in costs for a sensing device and burden of costs incurred to the subject. An information communication terminal reads an information code obtained by encoding at least address information of the sensing device and transmits notification information including at least unique identification information of the subject to the sensing device based on the address information represented by the information code. Upon receiving the notification information transmitted from the information communication terminal, the sensing device transmits the sensing data of the subject to a data processing device together with the unique identification information included in the notification information.
