Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current massage and physical therapy devices for human skin are limited to single-use functions, require wired connections, and are inconvenient to switch between different treatment modes, leading to increased expenses and application inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A health care relaxation and soothing apparatus with a control host featuring a base member, control circuit system, and skin-friendly attachments that include light projection areas, heat-transmitting areas, and sensing units, allowing for wireless operation and multiple attachment types, enabling flexible and convenient massage and therapy applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wired connection methods are used to electrically connect patches or wearable devices to the control host, then reliable electrical connection is achieved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to wire constraints and reduced convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. The control host and skin-friendly attachments communicate via wireless signals (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other wireless protocols), eliminating physical cables while maintaining reliable data and power transmission. This substitution resolves the contradiction by removing wire constraints that limited ease of operation while preserving connection reliability through robust wireless communication protocols.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple different auxiliary devices are purchased to achieve different treatment modes, then treatment versatility is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal control host designed to work with multiple types of skin-friendly attachments through standardized wireless communication protocols. The control host can manage various treatment modes (light therapy, heat therapy, massage) and accommodate different attachment types without requiring separate dedicated devices. This multi-functionality approach resolves the contradiction by providing treatment versatility through a single unified system rather than multiple specialized devices.
3Device complexity
If single-function auxiliary devices are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates as users cannot switch between different treatment modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic system where the control host can adapt its functionality based on the attached skin-friendly attachment type. The system dynamically adjusts treatment parameters, communication protocols, and control interfaces according to the specific attachment connected. This dynamic adaptability allows a single device structure to perform multiple treatment functions, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and functional versatility.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The apparatus provides flexible and convenient massage and therapy options without the constraints of wired connections, allowing for various treatment modes and reducing the need for multiple devices, enhancing user experience and cost-effectiveness.
Implementation Method 1
the at least one or more light projection areas of each skin-friendly attachment can be used for projecting multi-band laser light or multi-band LED light sources or light waves
Implementation Method 2
Most of the auxiliary devices that are generally applied to human skin for massage, physical therapy mostly use the principle of far-infrared rays
Implementation Method 3
a plurality of heat-transmitting areas located around the at least one or more light projection areas
