Wearable Device Alerting Method for State-Adaptive Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices often fail to promptly notify users of abnormal situations detected by smart devices, especially when the user is in a sleeping or do-not-disturb mode, leading to delayed response times.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detect the user's behavior state using a wearable device and trigger corresponding notifying operations, such as vibrations or alarms, based on the detected state and preset scenario modes, ensuring timely and effective notification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the wearable device sends alarm notifications to the user, then the user is informed of abnormal situations, but the notification may disturb the user during sleeping or do-not-disturb modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating notification strategies based on the user's specific state (sleeping vs. awake, do-not-disturb mode vs. normal mode). The system adjusts notification intensity, type, and delivery method according to the detected behavior state, ensuring appropriate notification without unnecessary disturbance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the notification system adaptive and flexible. The wearable device continuously monitors user behavior state and dynamically adjusts notification parameters (vibration intensity, alarm sound, notification timing) based on real-time detected states, transforming a static notification system into a dynamic one that responds to user conditions.
2Reliability
If the wearable device uses strong notification methods (alarm, strong vibration) to ensure user awareness, then the notification effectiveness is improved, but the user disturbance increases during sleeping or do-not-disturb modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring notification intensity and type to the specific user state. During sleeping or do-not-disturb modes, the system uses gentler notification methods (subtle vibrations, silent alerts) while maintaining notification effectiveness. When the user is awake and responsive, stronger notification methods can be employed if necessary.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by adjusting notification parameters (vibration intensity, alarm volume, notification frequency) based on the detected user state. The system changes these parameters dynamically to achieve effective notification while minimizing disturbance, rather than using fixed high-intensity notifications in all cases.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system detects user behavior state and adjusts notification method, then the user experience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by making the wearable device perform multiple functions: it not only provides notifications but also continuously monitors user behavior state (sleeping, awake, do-not-disturb mode). This multi-functionality is achieved within the existing wearable device framework without requiring entirely separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the wearable device to autonomously detect user behavior state and automatically adjust notification methods without requiring manual user input. The system monitors itself and makes real-time decisions about notification delivery based on detected states, reducing the need for complex user interfaces or manual configuration.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If the notification is delayed to avoid disturbing the user, then the user disturbance is reduced, but the response time to abnormal situations is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the notification timing flexible and adaptive rather than fixed or delayed. The system continuously monitors user state and delivers notifications at the most appropriate moment - immediately when the user is responsive, or with adjusted timing when the user is sleeping or in do-not-disturb mode, optimizing both responsiveness and disturbance reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies feedback by using continuous user behavior state detection to inform notification delivery decisions. The system receives feedback from sensors about user state (sleeping, awake, moving, stationary) and uses this feedback to determine the optimal notification timing and method, creating a closed-loop system that balances responsiveness and disturbance reduction.
