Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for determining the position of a transitional lead in electrocardio diagnosis are not accurate, relying on the ratio of R-wave to S-wave amplitudes which does not provide precise positioning.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the ratio of R-wave amplitude to S-wave amplitude is used to determine transitional lead position, then the method is simple to implement, but the positioning accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of positioning methodVSAvoidtransitional lead position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter from using only R-wave/S-wave ratio to using the sum of R-wave and S-wave amplitudes. This parameter transformation enables more precise positioning by capturing the absolute amplitude values rather than just their ratio, thereby resolving the contradiction between simplicity and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of analysis by considering both R-wave and S-wave amplitudes simultaneously as additive components rather than multiplicative ratio. This dimensional expansion from single-ratio to dual-component summation provides additional information for accurate transitional lead positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If only R-wave to S-wave amplitude ratio is calculated, then the calculation process is simple, but the positioning precision is not high enough

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the calculation of R-wave amplitude and S-wave amplitude into a unified summation process. By combining both amplitude measurements and their sums across multiple leads, the system achieves high positioning precision while maintaining relatively simple calculation logic through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies a consistent calculation pattern (summing R and S amplitudes) across all chest leads V1-V6. This replicated approach ensures uniform processing and maintains simplicity in the calculation methodology while achieving precise positioning results through systematic application.

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and an apparatus for determining a position of a transitional lead, and a computer device. The method includes: obtaining an R-wave amplitude corresponding to each of chest leads, where the chest leads include a V1 lead, a V2 lead, a V3 lead, a V4 lead, a VS lead, and a V6 lead; obtaining an S-wave amplitude corresponding to each chest lead; and determining a position of a transitional lead according to a sum of the R-wave amplitudes and the S-wave amplitudes corresponding to all the chest leads.
