Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile electronic devices provide limited practical feedback to improve sleep quality based on biometric data analysis, mainly focusing on sleep state analysis without effectively guiding users to enhance their sleep habits.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that continuously analyzes sleep habits by collecting action information and evaluating its patterns to generate personalized sleep guide information, helping users improve their sleep quality through actionable feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If mobile electronic devices analyze sleep states based on biometric data, then sleep analysis capability is improved, but practical feedback for improving sleep quality is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesleep analysis capabilityVSAvoidpractical feedback information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the electronic device provides sleep guide information to users based on analyzed sleep patterns and action information. The system collects action information (such as daily activities, exercise, diet), analyzes it together with sleep evaluation information, and generates personalized feedback recommendations to improve sleep quality, thereby resolving the information loss problem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the sleep improvement process into distinct components: collecting biometric data during sleep, gathering action information from various sources, analyzing patterns separately, and generating targeted sleep guide information. This segmentation allows the system to address specific sleep issues with customized feedback rather than providing generic analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the device collects and analyzes action information patterns, then sleep habit management is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesleep habit management capabilityVSAvoiddata collection and analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the electronic device multi-functional by integrating sleep monitoring, action information collection from various sources (sensors, user input, external devices), pattern analysis, and personalized feedback generation into a single system. This universality allows comprehensive sleep habit management without requiring multiple separate devices, balancing versatility with manageable complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of information

If the device provides detailed sleep guide information, then user guidance quality is improved, but information processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesleep guide information qualityVSAvoidinformation processing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by providing targeted sleep guide information based on specific identified sleep issues rather than processing and presenting all possible sleep-related data. The system analyzes action information patterns to identify key problems and provides focused recommendations, reducing unnecessary processing load while maintaining high guidance quality for relevant issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
