Solution Overview

Problem

Existing smart toilets lack comprehensive systems for real-time analysis of gut health through microbiome monitoring and fail to provide personalized dietary recommendations and emergency response capabilities.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent toilet system with integrated waste analysis, AI processing, and hypergraphical planning to generate health profiles, detect health issues, and provide personalized dietary plans, while also enabling emergency response through automated notification and biometric sensing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If comprehensive sensors and AI processing are integrated into the toilet system, then health monitoring capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth monitoring capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides health monitoring into separate functional modules: waste analysis system for microbiome detection, biometric sensors for vital signs monitoring, AI processing unit for data analysis, and communication module for emergency response. Each module operates independently but integrates seamlessly, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive health monitoring capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Speed

If real-time waste analysis and AI processing are implemented, then health detection speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth detection speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs waste analysis and AI processing at periodic intervals rather than continuously. Sensors monitor vital signs at regular intervals, waste samples are analyzed periodically, and AI processing occurs at scheduled times. This periodic operation maintains real-time health detection capability while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Reliability

If automated emergency response notification is added, then emergency response capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemergency response capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects health emergencies through integrated sensors and AI analysis, then self-initiates emergency response by sending notifications to designated contacts and emergency services. The automated notification feature operates autonomously without requiring user intervention, improving emergency response capability while adding minimal complexity through standardized communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An intelligent toilet system and method. The system includes a toilet having a waste analysis system, where the waste analysis system includes sensors that analyze microbiome in human waste of a user; an artificial intelligence (AI) system that receives sensor data from the waste analysis system and generates a health profile of the user; and a hypergraphical platform that generates a dietary plan from the health profile and validates the plan using logics.
