Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of effective agents for improving composite memory in healthy individuals, as existing research primarily focuses on maintaining or recovering cognitive function in deteriorated states, with limited studies on enhancing cognitive function in healthy individuals.

Innovation Solution

An agent containing uridylic acid as the active ingredient is developed to improve composite memory in healthy individuals, leveraging its safe and effective properties when used as a food, medicine, or quasi-drug.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If research focuses on maintenance or recovery of declined cognitive function, then effectiveness in deteriorated states is improved, but applicability to healthy individuals is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in deteriorated statesVSAvoidapplicability to healthy individuals
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by developing a cognitive function improving agent that can be effectively used by both healthy individuals and those with cognitive decline. The agent comprises multiple ingredients (acetyl L-carnitine, L-theanine, and/or L-arginine) that work synergistically to improve various cognitive domains including memory, attention, and processing speed, making it universally applicable across different user groups rather than being limited to specific patient populations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple food materials are combined to improve multiple cognitive function domains, then comprehensiveness is improved, but device complexity is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of cognitive improvementVSAvoidcomplexity of agent composition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple food materials (acetyl L-carnitine, L-theanine, and/or L-arginine) into a single integrated agent formulation. This combination approach allows simultaneous improvement of multiple cognitive function domains including verbal memory, visual memory, attention, and processing speed while maintaining practical usability as a unified product rather than requiring separate supplements for each cognitive domain

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
