Television-Based Health Data Display and Reminder System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users tend to neglect daily measurements with physical measurement apparatuses like scales and blood pressure monitors, as these activities are not as engaging as watching television, leading to missed data recordings.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a physical measurement apparatus and a digital apparatus, such as a television, which receives and displays measurement data in a graph format, and prompts users to conduct measurements through on-screen notices and audio alarms when data is missed, ensuring daily data recording without disrupting television viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If measurement data is displayed on a television screen, then the user can easily check measurement results, but the user may still neglect daily measurements because television viewing is more engaging
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying measurement data on the television screen and auditory feedback through alarm sounds when measurements are missed. This feedback mechanism motivates users to maintain consistent daily measurements by showing them their progress and reminding them when they have neglected measurement.
Solution Approach 2:
The television acts as an intermediary device that bridges the physical measurement apparatus and the user. It receives measurement data from the apparatus and presents it in an engaging visual format, while also serving as a communication channel for reminders and alerts about missed measurements.
2Reliability
If the system sends reminders to prompt measurement, then measurement consistency improves, but the user experience may become intrusive
Solution Approach 1:
The system sends measurement prompts at periodic intervals rather than continuously. The control section determines appropriate timing for displaying prompts on the television screen, sending reminders only when needed and at reasonable intervals to avoid excessive disturbance while maintaining measurement consistency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system integrates with television viewing, then user engagement increases, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The television serves multiple functions: it displays measurement data, shows measurement prompts, plays alarm sounds, and provides visual feedback for missed measurements. By making the television a multi-functional device that handles both entertainment and health monitoring tasks, the system reduces overall complexity by eliminating the need for separate dedicated devices.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system effectively prevents users from neglecting daily measurements by integrating measurement prompts into their television viewing routine, ensuring continuous data recording and display in a user-friendly manner.
Implementation Method 1
a radio communication section, receives measurement data of the user radio-transmitted from a physical measurement apparatus
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system includes: a physical measurement apparatus measuring the body of a user and radio-transmitting measurement data; and an information processing apparatus receiving the measurement data radio-transmitted from the physical measurement apparatus, displaying information on the measurement data of the user on a screen, and displaying a notice prompting the user to conduct measurement when no measurement data is received by a predetermined time for measurement.
