Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Caregivers face challenges in efficiently managing and coordinating various care tasks for multiple recipients due to the complexity and number of applications installed on terminal devices, leading to increased operational burdens and difficulties in selecting appropriate applications.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device configuration that stores multiple applications for care management, allowing for authentication processing to be performed once, enabling subsequent applications to operate with maintained authentication results, thereby reducing the need for repeated authentication and streamlining care operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications are installed on the terminal device for comprehensive care management, then the functionality and versatility of the care system is improved, but the operational burden and complexity for caregivers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple care management applications into a single integrated terminal device interface. The system merges authentication, care task management, and coordination functions into one unified application, eliminating the need for caregivers to manually select and switch between multiple separate applications. This integration maintains comprehensive care management functionality while reducing operational complexity.
2Reliability
If authentication processing is performed for each application separately, then security and access control are improved, but the time required for caregivers to access different care tasks increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authentication processing once at the beginning of the care task sequence, storing the authentication result for subsequent use. This preliminary authentication action allows caregivers to access multiple care-related applications and functions without repeating the authentication process, thereby reducing the time required to perform care tasks while maintaining security through the stored authentication state.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple independent applications are used for different care tasks, then specialized functionality for each task is improved, but the ease of operation and workflow continuity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal terminal device interface that provides multi-functional access to various care tasks within a single application environment. The system maintains specialized functionality for different care tasks (such as medication management, vital signs monitoring, and care scheduling) while presenting them through a unified interface that allows seamless transitions between tasks. This approach preserves task-specific capabilities while significantly improving ease of operation and workflow continuity.

AI summary
A terminal device including: a memory configured to be capable of storing a first application and a second application to assist care for a care receiver, the first application being different from the second application; and a controller configured to execute the first application or the second application, wherein the controller is configured to: execute the first application, if the first application is activated after authentication processing of the care receiver has been executed, using an authentication result of the care receiver, and execute the second application, if the second application is activated after the first application has finished, in a state where the authentication result of the care receiver is maintained.
