Solution Overview

Problem

Users engaged in intense gaming activities face inconvenience when they need to open software like Razer Synapse to view gaming statistics and heat maps, disrupting their experience.

Innovation Solution

A wearable device equipped with a determination circuit to gather data on gaming actions and a feedback circuit to provide real-time feedback, such as statistics and alerts, directly to the user through visual or mechanical means, eliminating the need to access external software.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users open external software to view gaming statistics and heat maps, then they can access detailed performance data, but their gaming experience is disrupted and time is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegaming statistics accessibilityVSAvoidgaming interruption time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential function of displaying gaming statistics from the external software environment and relocates it to the wearable device. The determination circuit on the wearable device independently determines gaming action data and generates feedback without requiring users to switch to external software, thus providing continuous access to performance information while maintaining uninterrupted gaming flow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable device acts as an intermediary between the gaming system and the user. It receives gaming action data from the computer, processes it through the determination circuit, and presents simplified feedback through the feedback circuit. This intermediary role eliminates the need for users to directly interact with complex external software while still providing access to relevant statistics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users open external software to view gaming feedback, then comprehensive statistics are available, but ease of operation deteriorates due to additional steps required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegaming performance feedbackVSAvoidfeedback access convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the core feedback delivery function from external software and implements it directly on the wearable device. The determination circuit processes gaming actions and the feedback circuit delivers results directly to the user's wrist or body, eliminating the operational steps of opening, navigating, and closing external software applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable device provides self-service feedback by automatically determining gaming action data through its determination circuit and presenting it through the feedback circuit without requiring user intervention to open or close software. The device autonomously manages the entire feedback delivery process from data acquisition to presentation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If gaming feedback is provided through external software, then detailed analysis is possible, but device complexity increases due to additional software requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegaming data analysisVSAvoidsystem software dependency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential data processing and feedback delivery functions from the external software ecosystem and implements them within the wearable device itself. The determination circuit handles data processing locally, and the feedback circuit manages output delivery, eliminating the need for users to install, configure, and maintain additional software on their computers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable device performs self-service by independently determining gaming actions through its determination circuit and providing feedback through its feedback circuit without relying on external software infrastructure. The device autonomously manages data processing, storage, and presentation, reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
