Wireless Terminal Device Vibration Feedback for Treatment System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a configuration where multiple electrical treatment devices are wirelessly connected, it is difficult for users to determine which device is attached to a specific treatment site, leading to potential setting mistakes, such as treating the arm instead of the waist.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device that wirelessly communicates with electrical treatment devices, featuring a display control unit to show image information for each device, a vibration instruction unit to instruct selected devices to vibrate, and a treatment content setting unit to set and swap treatment modes based on user instructions, preventing setting errors by allowing users to confirm and correct treatment settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If electrical treatment devices are wirelessly connected to the control device, then ease of operation is improved (no wires to manage), but setting accuracy deteriorates (cannot easily determine which device is attached to which treatment site)
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying image information (such as photographs or diagrams) of the treatment sites on the terminal device. This allows users to see which treatment site corresponds to which electrical treatment device, enabling accurate identification and setting without physical connection constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device acts as an intermediary between the user and the electrical treatment devices. It receives treatment content settings from the user, identifies the corresponding electrical treatment device through wireless communication, and transmits the settings to the correct device, thereby preventing setting mistakes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electrical treatment devices are used simultaneously, then treatment versatility is improved, but device complexity increases (difficulty in managing and identifying each device)
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the control interface by displaying image information specific to each treatment site on the terminal device. Users can interact with each treatment site independently through the display, and the system maintains separate settings for each electrical treatment device, making it easier to manage multiple devices simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device serves multiple functions: it displays image information for identification, receives treatment content settings, identifies the corresponding electrical treatment device through wireless communication, and transmits settings to the correct device. This multi-functionality simplifies the overall system management.
