Solution Overview

Problem

In home medical treatment and care, it is challenging for multiple healthcare professionals to efficiently grasp the changing mental and physical states of patients due to the vast amount of data accumulated in information sharing systems, such as voice tweet systems, which require extensive searching.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that includes a data processor to detect keywords related to patient states from voice messages, creating presentation information that arranges these keywords correspondingly, allowing for easier visualization and understanding of patient states across different categories and time frames.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If voice messages are accumulated in an information sharing system, then information sharing among staff is improved, but data search efficiency deteriorates due to enormous accumulated data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharingVSAvoiddata search time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts keywords from voice messages and separates them from the full text content. These extracted keywords are stored as metadata tags, allowing staff to search and filter information efficiently without processing the entire voice message database, thus resolving the contradiction between information sharing and search efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces keywords as an intermediary between the voice message content and the search function. Instead of directly searching through enormous voice message data, the system uses keywords as a mediating layer that represents the essential information, enabling fast retrieval while maintaining complete information availability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If all observation data is stored in detail, then information completeness is improved, but ease of grasping patient state deteriorates due to data volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobservation data completenessVSAvoidpatient state assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the continuous voice message data into discrete keyword units that correspond to specific patient states. By dividing the information into categorized keywords (e.g., cognitive state, physical condition), the system maintains complete information while making it easily accessible and assessable through keyword filtering and grouping

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by organizing keywords according to different patient state categories (cognitive, physical, etc.). Each category receives specialized organization and presentation, allowing staff to quickly access relevant information for specific assessment needs without being overwhelmed by the entire dataset

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
