Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional motion recognition technology is used for home training, then the service can be provided without additional equipment, but the precision in measuring user motion is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion measurement precisionVSAvoidequipment requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical motion capture systems with an AI-based visual recognition system. The server uses machine learning models to analyze video frames from a standard camera, extracting skeletal information and motion data without requiring specialized mechanical sensors or equipment at the user end. This substitution achieves high measurement precision using only a regular camera and computational algorithms.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary AI processing server that acts as a mediator between the user's home training environment and the motion analysis system. The server receives video data, performs complex motion recognition and precision measurement through AI models, and returns analysis results to the user terminal. This intermediary handles the computational complexity centrally, allowing simple user-side equipment to achieve precise motion measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If home training services are provided without additional equipment, then ease of operation is improved, but motivation for consistent exercises is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of home trainingVSAvoidexercise consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the AI system continuously monitors user motion, provides real-time posture correction guidance, and tracks exercise progress. The system compares actual user movements against standard exercise patterns, offers immediate corrective feedback, and maintains exercise logs. This continuous feedback loop enhances user motivation and ensures consistent exercise performance without requiring additional equipment or in-person coaching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If AI motion recognition precision is enhanced, then measurement accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI motion recognition precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the motion recognition system into distinct functional modules: video capture module, AI processing module for skeletal extraction, motion analysis module, and feedback generation module. Each module performs a specific function in the motion recognition pipeline. This segmentation allows the complex AI processing to be distributed and managed separately, reducing the perceived complexity at any single point while maintaining high overall precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
