AI Posture Recognition for Adaptive Exercise Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online exercise training services lack customization to accommodate individual users' physical abilities and characteristics, leading to decreased interest and potential injuries due to incorrect posture and excessive exercise.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal equipped with a camera and controller using artificial intelligence to recognize the user's posture and adjust exercise content playback speed, displaying a reference posture guide to ensure correct alignment and adapt to the user's body characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If exercise program content is unilaterally prepared without considering user's physical ability, then content delivery is simple, but user interest decreases and exercise effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual assessment and mechanical adjustment of exercise programs with an automated image recognition system using artificial intelligence. The camera captures user postures, AI algorithms analyze them against reference postures, and the system automatically adjusts playback speed without manual intervention, substituting mechanical/manual systems with intelligent automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to receive personalized exercise guidance autonomously. The camera continuously monitors user postures, the AI automatically compares them with reference standards, and the playback speed adjusts itself based on real-time posture recognition results, creating a self-regulating exercise system that adapts to each user's capabilities without requiring external trainer intervention.
2Reliability
If user follows exercise program without posture verification, then exercise can be performed freely, but incorrect posture causes injuries and reduces effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs artificial intelligence-based image recognition to automatically detect and analyze user postures, replacing subjective visual assessment with objective computational analysis. The AI algorithm processes camera images to identify key body points and compare them against reference postures, providing reliable posture verification through automated intelligent systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback by continuously monitoring user postures during exercise and immediately adjusting playback speed based on posture accuracy. When incorrect postures are detected, the system slows down or pauses the exercise content to allow correction, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that ensures safe and effective exercise execution.
3Adaptability or versatility
If exercise content playback speed is fixed, then content delivery is straightforward, but it cannot adapt to user's exercise pace and reduces engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static, fixed playback speed system into a dynamic one that automatically adjusts based on real-time posture recognition. The playback speed becomes a variable parameter that changes continuously according to user performance, allowing the system to adapt to each user's exercise pace and capabilities while maintaining engagement through personalized delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the playback speed parameter dynamically based on posture recognition results. By adjusting this key parameter in response to real-time user performance data, the system optimizes content delivery to match user capabilities, improving both accessibility and effectiveness without requiring complex manual control.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method of providing customized training content and a user terminal for implementing the same for further increasing interest in exercise by providing training content in consideration of the physical ability and characteristics of a user and simultaneously allowing the user to easily know whether the user is exercising with a correct posture and method to continuously exercise at a pace suitable for a level of the user. The user terminal includes a display, a camera, and a controller configured to perform control to acquire information on a reference posture of a trainer appearing in an exercise content through artificial intelligence, to recognize an exercise posture of a user photographed through the camera through artificial intelligence while the exercise content is reproduced, and to adjust a reproduction speed of the exercise content based on the recognized exercise posture of the user.
