Solution Overview

Problem

Existing measurement devices struggle to accurately analyze pulse wave data due to noise in communication paths or errors in stored data, leading to difficulties in identifying and removing erroneous data, which hampers analysis efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A measurement device with a control unit that assigns error detection codes in variable data length units corresponding to the content of biological data, allowing for efficient error detection and analysis in meaningful data units.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If error detection is performed in a predetermined time unit, then error detection capability is provided, but analysis efficiency of biological data deteriorates when one piece of data contains multiple bioinformation pieces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detection capabilityVSAvoidanalysis efficiency of biological data
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the predetermined time unit into multiple variable data length units, each corresponding to one piece of bioinformation. This allows error detection to be performed at a finer granularity level, so that when an error is detected, only the specific variable data length unit containing the error is identified and discarded, rather than discarding the entire predetermined time unit. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling both error detection capability and high analysis efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If error detection code is assigned in fixed data length units, then error detection is simplified, but meaningful error identification in variable biological data becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detection simplicityVSAvoidmeaningful error identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs variable data length units that dynamically adapt to the content of biological data rather than using fixed data length units. Each variable data length unit corresponds to one complete piece of bioinformation, allowing the error detection system to flexibly handle varying data lengths while maintaining meaningful error identification. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction by enabling both operational simplicity and meaningful error identification.
