Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If user sleep data is uploaded to cloud server for analysis, then sleep status analysis can be performed, but cost increases and user privacy risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data analysis function from the cloud server and implements it locally on the bed device itself. The control box processes sleep data locally using integrated algorithms, eliminating the need to upload sensitive user data to external servers while maintaining analysis capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The control box acts as an intermediary between data collection and data analysis. It receives raw sleep data from sensors, processes it through local algorithms, and generates analysis results without requiring external cloud server intervention, thus protecting user privacy while enabling sleep status analysis.
2Measurement precision
If user sleep data is uploaded to cloud server, then sleep analysis can be performed, but subscription cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bed system performs sleep data analysis independently through its own control box and integrated algorithms. It serves itself by processing data locally without requiring external cloud server subscriptions, eliminating recurring costs while maintaining continuous analysis capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the data analysis capability from external cloud services and embeds it directly into the bed's control system. This local processing eliminates dependency on paid cloud subscriptions while preserving full sleep analysis functionality.
3Measurement precision
If sensors are installed in electric bed to collect sleep data, then sleep status can be monitored, but data leakage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts data processing operations from external servers and performs them locally on the bed device. Sleep data collected by sensors is processed immediately within the control box, eliminating the need to transmit sensitive information externally and thus preventing data leakage while maintaining monitoring accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The control box serves as a secure intermediary that handles all sleep data locally. It processes sensor data through integrated algorithms and generates results without requiring external communication, creating a secure processing environment that prevents data leakage while enabling continuous sleep status monitoring.
