Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals often struggle to effectively improve their abilities without external guidance, as they rely on self-directed practices using magazines, internet information, and word-of-mouth, leading to inconsistent progress and unmet goals in physical and academic skills.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that includes obtaining a target period for goal achievement, setting a goal based on user ability, and determining a practice method using a computer system to provide personalized practice plans.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If people practice on their own without external guidance, then they can freely choose their practice methods, but they struggle to gauge their level of improvement and may not reach their goals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefreedom of practice choiceVSAvoidgoal achievement reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to users by comparing their current ability (measured through practice results) with the target goal. It generates practice plans based on this comparison, allowing users to see their progress and adjust their practices accordingly. This feedback loop enables self-directed practice while maintaining reliability of goal achievement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to create their own practice plans without requiring external trainers or coaches. Users input their current ability and target goal, and the system automatically generates personalized practice recommendations. This self-service approach maintains freedom of choice while improving goal achievement reliability through systematic planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If people rely on self-directed practices using magazines and internet information, then they can access practice methods freely, but their progress becomes inconsistent and goals remain unmet

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to practice methodsVSAvoidpractice effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameters of practice methods based on the user's current ability and target goal. Instead of providing generic practice advice, it dynamically adjusts practice recommendations to match the user's specific situation, improving productivity while maintaining adaptability to individual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the user's current ability and target goal before generating practice plans. This preliminary action ensures that the practice methods are pre-tailored to the user's specific needs, improving effectiveness from the start while maintaining versatility in approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If a personalized practice plan is created based on user ability and goals, then practice effectiveness improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepractice effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system reduces its own complexity by enabling users to input their own ability and goal information, which automatically triggers the personalized practice plan generation. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex manual assessment processes while maintaining high practice effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex manual assessment and planning mechanisms with automated computational processes. Instead of requiring human trainers to analyze abilities and create plans, the system uses algorithms to process user input and generate personalized recommendations, reducing system complexity while improving effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
