Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current UV index forecasting methods do not provide real-time updates and are not specific enough for individual locations, leading to inaccurate risk assessments for UV exposure.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal equipped with a UV sensor that offers a service implementing method and apparatus, allowing users to set alarm intervals and times, display accumulated UV indexes, and receive risk warnings through avatars, sounds, or messages, providing personalized UV-related information via a mobile network connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If UV index forecasting is provided for wide regions, then coverage area is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the wide region into multiple small regions and assigns a separate UV sensor to each region. This segmentation allows each sensor to provide precise local UV measurements while collectively covering a large area, resolving the contradiction between coverage area and measurement precision.
2Productivity
If UV index forecasting is provided twice a day, then information update frequency is improved, but real-time monitoring capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous UV monitoring through permanently installed sensors that continuously detect UV indices and transmit data in real-time. This continuous action replaces periodic forecasting, ensuring both high update frequency and reliable real-time monitoring capability simultaneously.
3Ease of operation
If general UV index information is provided, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides UV index information tailored to each specific location through locally installed sensors. Each region receives customized UV data relevant to its exact position, maintaining high information quality while remaining easy to access through the information provision system.

AI summary
A service implementing method and apparatus according to an ultraviolet (UV) index in a mobile terminal provides diverse information and services according to the UV index detected by the mobile terminal having a UV sensor mounted thereon. The service implementing method and apparatus includes switching over to a UV alarm function mode when an alarm function is selected in a UV management mode, setting a predetermined time interval for informing a user of the UV index when an alarm interval is selected in the UV alarm function mode. The service implementing method and apparatus further includes setting a specified time for informing the user of the UV index when an alarm time is selected in the UV alarm function mode, and setting avatars or alarm sounds for informing the user of the UV index according to the set time when an alarm method is selected in the UV alarm function mode.
