Solution Overview

Problem

Existing stick-on biometric devices face challenges in accurately adhering to the skin due to misalignment of the sticking component, which can lead to gaps and reduced accuracy in measurements, such as body temperature.

Innovation Solution

A sticking component with visible release components that overlap the outline of the biometric device's bottom surface, allowing for easy alignment through visual inspection, thereby reducing misalignment and facilitating accurate adherence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the sticking component is adhered to the stick-on biometric device without visual alignment aids, then the application process is simpler, but misalignment occurs between the sticking component and the bottom surface of the device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The release component is designed with a visible outline that contrasts with the background, making it easily distinguishable during the application process. This visual differentiation allows users to align the sticking component with the bottom surface of the biometric device by matching the visible outline with the device contours, thereby improving alignment precision without adding complex alignment mechanisms.

2Ease of operation

If the release component is removed in one motion, then the application process is faster and easier, but stress concentration may cause intra-layer or inter-layer delamination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremoval easeVSAvoidlayer bonding integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The release component is divided into a main body and a tab portion by a slit, allowing it to be peeled off in a controlled sequence. When removed, the tab portion detaches first, followed by the main body, which distributes the peeling stress evenly across the adhesive layers. This segmentation enables one-motion removal while preventing stress concentration that would cause delamination.

AI summary

A sticking component that includes: a sheet-shaped adhesive component having first and second sticking surfaces with adhesiveness opposed to each other, the first sticking surface constructed to be removably adhered to a bottom surface of a stick-on biometric device; a first release component removably adhered to the first sticking surface of the sticking component; and a second release component removably adhered to the second sticking surface of the sticking component, wherein at least one of the first release component or the second release component has an outline that is visible, and that, when the sticking component is to be adhered to the stick-on biometric device, at least partially overlaps an outline of the bottom surface of the stick-on biometric device in a plan view of the sticking component.
