Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a device and system that can effectively present recommended physical activity to individuals in office buildings or wellness structures to mitigate the insufficiency of physical activity among users, as existing systems primarily focus on workout facilities.

Innovation Solution

A recommended activity presentation device and system that processes circuitry to determine and output personalized movement courses and speeds based on an individual's physical condition and activity shortfall, using sensors, image capturing devices, and display units to provide notification information on recommended routes and speeds within a structure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a recommended activity presentation device is introduced in office buildings or wellness structures, then the insufficiency of physical activity among users can be mitigated, but the device complexity and system implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability to office buildings and wellness structuresVSAvoidsystem implementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The recommended activity presentation device is designed to be universally applicable across different structures including office buildings, wellness buildings, and workout facilities. The system uses standardized components (image capturing devices, display devices, processing circuitry) that can be deployed in various environments without requiring structure-specific customization, thereby achieving multi-functionality across different building types while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If personalized recommended courses and speeds are provided based on individual physical conditions, then the effectiveness of activity promotion increases, but the processing requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual physical condition assessment accuracyVSAvoidprocessing circuitry complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by tailoring the recommended activity courses and speeds to each individual user's specific physical condition. The processing circuitry analyzes image data captured by image capturing devices to determine individual physical characteristics, then generates personalized recommendations rather than generic ones. This localized personalization approach improves effectiveness while managing processing complexity through targeted analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple movement courses are analyzed and presented to users, then the user can choose the most suitable route, but the information processing load and presentation complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement course options availabilityVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the activity recommendation process into distinct functional components: image capturing devices capture user data, processing circuitry analyzes physical conditions and determines recommended courses, and display devices present the information. This segmentation allows multiple movement courses to be analyzed and presented without overwhelming the system, as each component handles a specific portion of the information processing load, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
