Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If biometric data is transmitted directly from wearable device to external electronic device, then data sharing functionality is improved, but security and data loss vulnerabilities worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing functionalityVSAvoidbiometric information security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer where the wearable device processes biometric data locally and transmits only processed results or encrypted data to the external electronic device. This mediator approach (the wearable device itself acting as intermediary) prevents raw biometric data from being exposed during transmission, thus maintaining security while enabling data sharing functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and processes only the necessary biometric features locally on the wearable device before transmission. Instead of transmitting complete raw biometric datasets, the system extracts specific calculated parameters or features that are sufficient for the intended application, reducing data exposure risks while maintaining functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If complete biometric data is transmitted to external device, then processing accuracy is improved, but data loss and exposure risks worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiometric calculation accuracyVSAvoiddata exposure and loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing of biometric data on the wearable device before transmission. The wearable device calculates biometric parameters, processes sensor data, and prepares the information in advance, ensuring that the essential information needed for accurate processing is captured and processed securely before any transmission occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates and transmits processed copies or representations of biometric data rather than the original raw data. The wearable device generates calculated parameters, feature extracts, or encrypted representations that serve as functional copies, enabling accurate processing at the external device while the original sensitive data remains secured on the wearable device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
