Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a mask method is employed to correct the teeth of a patient, then the treatment can be applied, but the wearing information of users cannot be collected, such as wearing length of time
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system is segmented into two independent parts: a mask worn by the patient for data collection and a base unit for data processing and transmission. The mask contains a detection unit and power supply unit, while the base unit contains a wireless transmission unit and power source unit. This segmentation allows the mask to be lightweight and wearable while the base unit handles complex transmission functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The base unit acts as an intermediary between the mask and the cloud server. It receives data from the mask via wired or wireless connection, processes the information, and transmits it to the cloud server. This intermediary role simplifies the mask design by offloading transmission responsibilities to the base unit.
2Loss of time
If the mask is used for collecting wearing information, then data can be gathered, but the information feedback is not enough in time
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables continuous data collection and transmission. The detection unit continuously monitors wearing information, and the wireless transmission unit can continuously or periodically transmit data to the cloud server without interruption. This continuous operation ensures timely feedback on patient compliance and treatment progress.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where wearing information collected by the mask is transmitted to the cloud server and can be used to adjust treatment regimens. This real-time feedback loop allows physicians to monitor patient compliance and make timely adjustments to improve treatment outcomes.
3Measurement precision
If the mask is used for detecting wearing information, then treatment accuracy can be improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the detection and transmission functions into separate components: the mask contains only the detection unit and power supply unit for collecting wearing information, while the base unit contains the wireless transmission unit and power source unit for data transmission. This segmentation reduces the complexity of each individual component while maintaining overall system functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The base unit serves multiple functions: it acts as a charging device for the mask's power supply unit, a data reception device for the detection information transmitting unit, and a wireless transmission device for communicating with the cloud server. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby reducing overall device complexity.
4Loss of information
If the mask is used for collecting wearing information, then treatment results can be improved, but the wearing information cannot be transmitted to cloud server in real-time
Solution Approach 1:
The base unit serves as an intermediary that facilitates real-time data transmission from the mask to the cloud server. It receives data from the mask via wired or wireless connection and transmits it to the cloud server, enabling real-time information flow without increasing the complexity of the mask itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex wired transmission mechanisms with wireless communication technology in the base unit. This allows the mask to remain simple while enabling real-time data transmission through wireless protocols, eliminating the need for physical connections during data transmission.

AI summary
Disclosed is a split wireless detection mask, including a mask and a base which can be connected to each other. The mask is wearable on a human body and configured for acquiring information of the human body, and when the mask is connected to the base, the base can charge the mask, the mask transmits the acquired information to the base, and then the base transmits the information to a cloud server; the mask includes a control unit, a detection unit, and a detection information transmitting unit. The detection unit detects information of the mask, and if the human body wears the mask, the detection unit stores the information in the control unit; the base includes a wireless transmission unit, a detection information receiving unit, and a power source unit. The detection information receiving unit receives data sent by the detection information transmitting unit; when the mask is inactive, the detection information transmitting unit can be connected to the detection information receiving unit, and the control unit transmits stored information data to the base and transmits the data to the cloud server by means of the wireless transmission unit. The present invention can effectively reduce the accuracy deviation of correction data caused by wearing problems.
