Solution Overview

Problem

Existing smart wearable devices suffer from inaccurate and incomplete health data detection due to the placement of detection chips on the back of the wrist, which is not the optimal position for detecting human health parameters, and the design compromises wearing comfort.

Innovation Solution

A wearable detection device with a flexible circuit board and ring-shaped chips positioned on a belt system that connects on the inner side of the wrist, allowing for accurate detection of parameters like pulse, heart rate, and blood pressure while enhancing comfort through a flexible material and secure buckle mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the detection chip is placed on the back of the wrist to ensure contact with the body, then the device structure is simple, but the detection accuracy deteriorates because the back of the wrist is not the optimal position for detecting health parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into a main body and a separate detection component (detection chip on the band). The detection chip is segmented from the main body and placed at the optimal detection position on the wrist, allowing accurate health parameter detection while keeping the main body structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A flexible band serves as an intermediary carrier to transport the detection chip from the main body to the optimal detection position on the wrist. The band acts as a mediator that connects the detection chip to the user's wrist without requiring the main body to directly contact the detection site.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the detection chip protrudes from the device body to ensure full contact with the human body, then the detection coverage is improved, but the wearing comfort deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection coverageVSAvoidwearing comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The detection chip is mounted on a flexible band made of soft material that can conform to the wrist's contour. This flexible structure provides full contact with the skin for accurate detection while eliminating the discomfort caused by rigid protruding chips.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The detection chip and band are designed with a curved profile that matches the natural contour of the wrist. This curvature allows the detection chip to make full contact with the skin surface while maintaining a comfortable, non-intrusive fit that does not protrude awkwardly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Measurement precision

If the detection chip is positioned at the arterial position for accurate detection, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the device design becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidchip conduction mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection chip is designed with a dynamic conduction mechanism that is activated only when the band is buckled onto the wrist. The chip transitions from a non-conducting state during storage/transport to a conducting state during use, automatically adapting to the operational condition without requiring complex external control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The detection chip's conduction state is automatically determined by the mechanical condition of the band buckling. The system self-regulates the chip's activation based on whether the device is being worn or stored, eliminating the need for external switches or complex control circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Measurement precision

If multiple to-be-conducted chips are disposed in the first belt body for complete health parameter detection, then the detection completeness is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection completenessVSAvoidcircuit board and chip arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple detection chips are integrated into a single flexible band, allowing the device to perform multiple health parameter detections (pulse, blood pressure, temperature, etc.) simultaneously. The flexible circuit board provides a universal platform that can accommodate various types of detection chips in a compact arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
