Smart Glasses 3D Mapping for Infectious Disease Risk
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing infectious disease monitoring applications lack the ability to provide three-dimensional, real-time information to users about dangerous locations and paths, limiting their effectiveness in preventing the spread of infectious diseases.
Innovation Solution
A smart device, such as smart glasses, receives infectious disease transmission information from a service server, uses location tracking, and displays dangerous paths and places in real-time through a display, with notifications adjusted based on proximity, and can mark tracking targets with markers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If infectious disease monitoring applications display movement information as a simple list or map, then the device complexity is low, but the information dimensionality and user awareness of dangerous locations are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional map displays to three-dimensional augmented reality visualization through smart glasses. The system overlays dangerous location information directly onto the user's visual field, adding a spatial dimension to disease monitoring data. This allows users to perceive dangerous locations in 3D space rather than interpreting flat map coordinates, directly addressing the information dimensionality deficiency while managing device complexity through software-based AR rendering.
2Productivity
If smart glasses provide real-time dangerous location information, then the productivity of disease prevention is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional sensors and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The smart glasses system integrates multiple functions into a single device: location tracking, disease data reception, augmented reality display, and gaze tracking. By combining these functions in one wearable device rather than requiring separate systems, the patent improves productivity through real-time monitoring while managing complexity through functional integration. The gaze sensor adds minimal complexity while enabling interaction control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically receives disease transmission information from service servers, tracks user location continuously, and provides real-time warnings without requiring manual intervention. The automated information reception and processing reduces the operational burden on users while maintaining high productivity in disease prevention through continuous passive monitoring.
3Reliability
If the system provides detailed real-time location tracking and notifications, then the reliability of disease prevention is improved, but the loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-receives and processes infectious disease transmission information from service servers before it becomes critical. By having disease data, dangerous location patterns, and warning thresholds prepared in advance, the system can immediately compare real-time user location against pre-processed danger zones without delay. This preliminary data preparation maintains high reliability in disease prevention while minimizing real-time processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously compares real-time location data against stored dangerous location information and provides immediate feedback through notifications when users approach dangerous zones. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures reliable disease prevention by maintaining constant monitoring and instant warning delivery, with the feedback cycle optimized to minimize time delays between detection and user notification.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an infectious disease-monitoring smart device which provides information about the risk of infectious disease in real time and, specifically, to a smart device which enables a user to identify, through a device such as smart glasses, a location (e.g., a confirmed case's location or travel route) at which the risk of infectious disease exists, and further enables the user to obtain various information so as to respond to the above infectious disease in real time.
