Wearable Profile Adaptation for Context-Aware Information Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices lack the ability to dynamically adjust and transmit user profile information based on real-time changes in user state and external device interactions within a field-of-view (FoV).
Innovation Solution
A wearable device equipped with a communication circuit, memory, camera, display, and processor that establishes a communication link with an external electronic device, identifies user profile information, requests and changes it based on user state, and displays the updated information within the FoV.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wearable devices transmit static user profile information, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different users and contexts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic profile information transmission by continuously monitoring user state through sensors (heart rate, temperature, motion) and externally identified devices via camera, then automatically adjusting which profile information is transmitted based on current context. This transforms static profile transmission into a dynamic, context-aware system that adapts to changing conditions without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable device autonomously determines what profile information to transmit by self-monitoring its own state through integrated sensors and identifying external devices through the camera. The processor automatically selects and transmits appropriate profile information based on current context without user intervention, enabling the device to serve itself in managing information transmission decisions.
2Ease of operation
If wearable devices continuously monitor and update profile information, then user experience is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic monitoring of user state through sensors rather than continuous monitoring. The system checks physiological parameters (heart rate, temperature, motion) at intervals and updates profile information transmission based on these periodic measurements. This approach maintains up-to-date profile information for improved user experience while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.
3Productivity
If wearable devices transmit detailed profile information to multiple external devices, then interaction efficiency is improved, but information security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by transmitting different profile information to different external devices based on their identity and the current context. Rather than transmitting all profile information universally, the system selectively transmits only the necessary information to each specific device. For example, health data may be transmitted to a medical device while location information is transmitted to a navigation device, maintaining security while enabling efficient interactions.
