Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack personalization in user interfaces, failing to optimize user experiences for individual sensory preferences, leading to sensory overload or deprivation and lack of engagement.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with sensors and processors that identify a user's dominant sensory profile, modify user interface elements based on this profile, and present personalized user interface elements to enhance user engagement and satisfaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a singular user interface is provided for all users, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but user engagement and satisfaction deteriorate due to lack of personalization

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser interface personalizationVSAvoiduser interface complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The user interface dynamically adapts to individual users by detecting sensory preferences and automatically modifying interface elements in real-time. The system transitions from a static, one-size-fits-all interface to a dynamic, personalized interface that adjusts based on user characteristics without requiring manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting user sensory preferences through sensor data and autonomously customizing the user interface. Users benefit from personalized interfaces without needing to manually configure settings, as the system independently analyzes sensor information and applies appropriate modifications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive sensor data collection is implemented to determine sensory profiles, then user personalization accuracy is improved, but user privacy concerns and data security risks worsen

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesensory profile accuracyVSAvoidprivacy risks

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system processes sensor data locally on the device rather than transmitting comprehensive raw data to external servers. Only essential processed information regarding sensory preferences is retained and used, minimizing privacy exposure while maintaining accurate personalization. Different levels of data processing are applied based on the specific sensing modality and personalization needs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If existing user interfaces are used without modification, then ease of operation is maintained, but user engagement and satisfaction worsen due to sensory overload or deprivation

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinterface usabilityVSAvoiduser engagement

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system modifies interface parameters such as color intensity, audio volume, vibration patterns, and text size based on detected sensory preferences. These parameter adjustments optimize the interface for individual users' sensory capabilities, enhancing engagement while preserving ease of operation through automatic adaptation rather than requiring user intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An electronic device includes a user interface and one or more processors operable with the user interface. The one or more processors are configured to modify one or more user interface elements as a function of a dominant sensory profile associated with an authorized user of the electronic device to create a one or more modified user interface elements and, thereafter, cause the user interface to present the one or more modified user interface elements.
