Activity Information Capture and Presentation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile devices and related systems lack the capability to provide comprehensive functionalities beyond communication and entertainment, failing to leverage their full potential in enhancing user experiences during activities such as sports and athletic performances.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that enables information capture during one activity to be presented during another, using capture devices that record and transmit data to presentation devices via a network, allowing real-time or later presentation of visual, biometric, and performance-related information, integrated with athletic equipment or wearable technology.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mobile devices are used for communication and entertainment only, then device functionality is limited, but device complexity remains low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling mobile devices to perform both traditional communication/entertainment functions and new activity-related functions (capturing, transmitting, and presenting activity information). The device serves as a universal platform that integrates activity capture device functionality with standard mobile device capabilities, allowing a single device to fulfill multiple roles without requiring separate specialized equipment
2Adaptability or versatility
If activity information is captured and presented during activities, then user experience is enhanced, but information loss between capture and presentation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by capturing and storing activity information in advance during the first activity, then presenting this pre-captured information during a subsequent second activity. This allows the information to be preserved and transmitted without degradation, as the capture occurs beforehand and the data is maintained in a stable digital format until presentation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies copying by creating digital replicas of activity information (video, audio, sensor data) that can be transmitted and presented without degrading the original. The digital copy maintains the integrity of the captured information while enabling presentation during a different activity at a different location
3Adaptability or versatility
If information is transmitted between devices via network, then communication capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by leveraging the mobile device's existing network communication capabilities to serve dual purposes: traditional communication functions and activity information transmission. The same communication hardware and software infrastructure is used for both purposes, avoiding the need for separate dedicated transmission equipment and minimizing additional complexity

AI summary
A system and method for providing information during an activity is described. In some examples, the system includes a capture device that captures information during a first activity and a presentation device that presents the information during a second activity. In some examples, system employs and is implemented on one or more mobile devices that transfer, process, and generate information based on performance of activities.
