Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If fitness programs are based on predetermined schedules for average users, then the programs are simple to implement, but they cannot accurately predict or optimize results for individual users with unique physical capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracy of user resultsVSAvoidcomplexity of fitness program development
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by collecting multiple physical capability metrics (force production, power output, speed, agility) and using them to dynamically adjust exercise prescriptions. Instead of fixed schedules, the program adapts exercise selection, intensity, and frequency based on measured parameters and predicted physiological responses, achieving accurate individualized predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where sensor data from exercise performance is continuously fed back into the prediction model. The model uses this feedback to refine its predictions of physiological responses and adjust future exercise recommendations, enabling progressively more accurate prediction of individual user results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If fitness programs do not integrate sensor data, then they are easier to implement, but they cannot efficiently obtain or utilize user physical capability information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of obtaining physical capability dataVSAvoidintegration complexity with sensors
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically collecting physical capability data through sensors during exercise performance. The sensors autonomously measure force production, power output, speed, and agility without requiring manual input from users. The system processes this data automatically to generate personalized fitness recommendations, eliminating the need for users to manually provide capability information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses sensors as intermediaries between the user's physical performance and the fitness program generation. These sensors (such as force plates, accelerometers, or GPS devices) automatically capture physical capability data and transmit it to the prediction model, which then generates appropriate exercise prescriptions without requiring direct user intervention in the data collection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If fitness programs cannot dynamically adjust to real-time performance, then they are simpler to manage, but they cannot optimize exercise timing and progression for individual users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic adjustment of exercise scheduleVSAvoidease of fitness program management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by making the exercise schedule adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed. The program dynamically modifies exercise selection, intensity, frequency, and timing based on real-time sensor data and predicted physiological responses. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize fitness outcomes for each user while automatically managing the complexity of program implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
