Adaptive Exercise Intensity Control Based on Sensor Variation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Exercise programs provided by electronic devices do not consider a user's health condition or exercise status, limiting them to pre-installed or downloaded programs with repetitive patterns based on exercise duration or distance, and require manual configuration each time.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with sensor circuitry and a processor that determines activity information, adjusts exercise intensity based on user motion data, and provides personalized guide information for adaptive exercise targets, considering user health and exercise status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If exercise programs are pre-installed or downloaded with fixed patterns, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to user condition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise program dynamically adjusts exercise intensity and target values based on real-time sensor data (heart rate, acceleration, gyro) and user condition information. The program transitions from static pre-defined patterns to dynamic adaptive patterns that automatically modify exercise parameters during execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes exercise program parameters (intensity, duration, target values) based on variations in sensor-measured physical quantities and user condition data. The exercise intensity is adjusted by modifying at least one parameter of the exercise program according to the degree of variation detected.
2Adaptability or versatility
If exercise programs are customized for each user condition, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and operation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise program automatically determines appropriate exercise intensity and target values by processing sensor data and user condition information itself. The system performs self-adjustment without requiring manual configuration by the user, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors sensor data (acceleration, gyro, heart rate) and user condition information, then uses this feedback to automatically adjust exercise program parameters. The exercise intensity determination is based on the degree of variation in measured physical quantities, creating a closed-loop adaptive system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration of exercise programs is required each time, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-determines exercise program parameters by automatically analyzing sensor data and user condition information before exercise execution. The exercise intensity and target values are determined in advance based on the degree of variation in measured physical quantities, eliminating the need for manual configuration at each session.
Solution Approach 2:
The exercise program performs automatic determination and adjustment of exercise parameters without requiring user intervention for configuration. The system independently processes sensor data and user condition information to generate appropriate exercise targets, saving user time while maintaining adaptability.
