Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack an automatic reminder mechanism for daily tasks and information, requiring users to manually record and manage their to-do events and inventory status.

Innovation Solution

A smart glasses device equipped with a temperature sensor, image capturing device, and processor that generates real-time feedback by determining temperature changes and activating the image capturing device to capture images, which are then used to provide reminders and information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the image capturing device is continuously activated to capture real-time images, then the real-time feedback accuracy is improved, but the computing resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time feedback accuracyVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The image capturing device is activated periodically based on temperature change detection rather than continuously. The system captures images only when temperature changes exceed a threshold, transforming continuous monitoring into periodic action to reduce energy consumption while maintaining feedback accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The temperature sensor automatically triggers the image capturing device when temperature changes are detected, eliminating the need for continuous manual or system-wide activation. The system serves itself by using temperature data to intelligently control image capture timing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If manual recording of daily tasks and information is required, then device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structure simplicityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The smart glasses device automatically performs recording and monitoring functions without requiring manual user input. The temperature sensor and image capturing device work autonomously to detect and record temperature changes and corresponding images, eliminating the need for users to manually record daily tasks while improving convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides automatic feedback to users based on captured images and temperature data, generating real-time notifications about temperature changes. This automated feedback mechanism improves ease of operation by eliminating manual recording requirements while maintaining simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
