Solution Overview

Problem

Current wearable device systems are primarily reactive, focusing on mitigation after an accident occurs, rather than providing proactive solutions to predict and prevent accidents.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that dynamically detects events, creates a visual simulation of the detected event using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and transmits it to authorized users, analyzing potential injuries and suggesting preventive measures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wearable devices focus on reactive mitigation after accidents occur, then immediate response and treatment can be provided, but proactive accident prediction and prevention capabilities are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident prevention capabilityVSAvoidresponse time after accident
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring user data and predicting potential accidents before they occur. The predictive analytics engine analyzes historical and real-time data to identify patterns that precede accidents, enabling the system to issue warnings and preventive recommendations before the actual event happens, thus shifting from reactive to proactive safety management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where accident predictions and outcomes are continuously fed back into the predictive model. When an accident is predicted or occurs, the system provides feedback to users and stakeholders, and this information is used to refine and improve the predictive analytics engine, making future predictions more accurate and enabling better prevention strategies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If detailed event data is collected and analyzed for accurate prediction, then prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex safety monitoring task into distinct functional modules: data collection from multiple sensors, predictive analytics engine for pattern recognition, machine learning models for prediction, and visualization components. Each module handles specific aspects of the data processing pipeline, making the overall system more manageable and maintainable while preserving prediction accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary predictive analytics engine that acts as a mediator between raw sensor data and final predictions. This intermediary layer processes, filters, and analyzes data using machine learning algorithms, transforming complex raw data into meaningful predictions while abstracting the complexity from the user interface and decision-making processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If visual simulations of events are created using GANs, then understanding of accident causes improves, but computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent context informationVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates simplified visual copies or representations of accident scenarios using GANs instead of processing and transmitting complete raw sensor datasets. These visual simulations capture the essential context and sequence of events leading to accidents in an intuitive visual format, preserving critical information while significantly reducing data volume and processing requirements for transmission and analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
