Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic apparatuses cannot provide user-customized ultraviolet avoidance information, failing to effectively prevent exposure to harmful ultraviolet light, as they only offer general ultraviolet indices without personalized recommendations based on user biometrics and environment.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus equipped with biometric and location information acquisition modules, along with a processor, displays ultraviolet avoidance information by combining user-specific biometric characteristics with ultraviolet intensity data, predicting exposure situations and notifying users about sunscreen reapplication times and application status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If general ultraviolet index information is provided, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different users and environments is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-customized ultraviolet avoidance informationVSAvoidcomplexity of acquiring and processing biometric and environmental data
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments ultraviolet avoidance information by dividing it into multiple dimensions: user-specific parameters (skin type, age, gender), environmental parameters (location, time, weather), and activity parameters (outdoor duration, intensity). This segmentation allows the system to provide personalized recommendations while managing complexity through modular data collection and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic apparatus integrates multiple functions into a single system: biometric information acquisition, location tracking, environmental sensing, ultraviolet index reception, and personalized recommendation generation. This multi-functionality enables the device to provide comprehensive ultraviolet avoidance information while optimizing resource utilization through shared hardware and software components.

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

2Reliability

If real-time ultraviolet avoidance information is provided, then the reliability of health protection is improved, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of ultraviolet exposure predictionVSAvoidenergy consumption for continuous monitoring and processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-acquiring and storing user biometric information, establishing activity patterns, and pre-calculating ultraviolet risk assessments based on historical data. This allows the system to provide rapid real-time recommendations without continuous heavy processing, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic apparatus implements periodic monitoring and updating of ultraviolet avoidance information rather than continuous real-time processing. The system periodically refreshes environmental data, re-evaluates user exposure risk, and updates recommendations at optimal intervals, balancing the need for reliable information with energy conservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive biometric and environmental data is collected, then the measurement precision of ultraviolet risk assessment is improved, but the loss of time for data acquisition increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of personalized ultraviolet avoidance recommendationsVSAvoidtime required to collect and process user information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects and stores essential user biometric information (skin type, age, gender) and environmental baseline data in advance through user profiles and pre-configuration. This preliminary data collection enables the system to generate accurate personalized ultraviolet avoidance recommendations without requiring extensive real-time data gathering, thus reducing time loss while maintaining measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
