Solution Overview

Problem

Existing infant care solutions fail to leverage advanced technologies like federated learning, multi-source data analysis, and IoT control to provide comprehensive and personalized recommendations for infant sleep and care routines, limiting their effectiveness in addressing issues like SIDS and sleep disturbances.

Innovation Solution

A smart bassinet system integrated with multiple sensors, deep learning methodologies, and federated learning algorithms that collect and analyze extensive data on an infant's physiological and environmental state, providing real-time, personalized recommendations and facilitating third-party application development through open APIs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional infant monitoring devices are used, then basic sleep monitoring is provided, but comprehensive data integration and real-time actionable recommendations are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive data integrationVSAvoidmulti-sensor integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple sensors (motion sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, audio sensors) into a single integrated bassinet system that collectively monitors infant sleep patterns, environmental conditions, and physiological states. This merging approach enables comprehensive data integration without proportionally increasing system complexity, as all sensors are coordinated through a centralized processing unit that provides unified real-time recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If federated learning and crowd-sourced data analysis are implemented, then recommendation accuracy is enhanced, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidfederated learning implementation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements federated learning by segmenting the data processing architecture into distributed components: local bassinet devices collect and pre-process sensor data, while a centralized server performs aggregate analysis across multiple devices. This segmentation allows the system to leverage crowd-sourced data from numerous infants for improved recommendation accuracy while distributing computational complexity across the network rather than concentrating it in a single device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If multiple sensors and deep learning methodologies are integrated, then real-time personalized recommendations are provided, but system resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time personalized recommendationsVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-training deep learning models offline using historical infant data and environmental conditions. These pre-trained models are then deployed to the bassinet system, enabling real-time personalized recommendations with minimal computational resource consumption during actual operation. The system only needs to perform lightweight inference on current sensor data rather than executing full training algorithms, significantly reducing energy usage while maintaining recommendation quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A sleep system for a baby includes multiple sensors to sense environmental conditions and physiological parameters of the baby. The sensors are located beneath the baby's resting position and lateral to the baby's torso. The system includes a computer processor with a neural network trained to provide caregivers with personalized sleep improvement recommendations. These are delivered via a bi-directional graphical user interface that allows caregivers to provide feedback. The system employs federated learning for enhanced data security and continuous algorithm improvement based on aggregated data from a network of devices. Dual API architecture enables secure on-device data processing and the transmission of encrypted data to third-party developers, fostering an open ecosystem for innovation in infant care.
