Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If posture measurement devices are used to collect user posture data, then posture awareness is improved, but the system cannot provide personalized feedback and customized exercises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposture measurement accuracyVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a closed-loop feedback mechanism where posture data collected from wearable devices is analyzed by AI algorithms to generate personalized feedback and customized exercise recommendations. The feedback is delivered to users through mobile applications, enabling continuous improvement of posture based on individual patterns and needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of data processing by applying AI algorithms to transform raw posture measurement data into actionable insights. This includes analyzing posture patterns, identifying deviations from optimal posture, and generating personalized exercise prescriptions based on individual user characteristics and measured posture parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If general posture correction methods are applied, then basic posture awareness is improved, but individual user needs and specific posture problems are not addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposture correction effectivenessVSAvoidcustomization for individual users
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing customized exercise recommendations targeted at specific posture problems detected in individual users. Rather than generic advice, the AI algorithm identifies specific posture deviations (e.g., forward head posture, rounded shoulders) and prescribes exercises tailored to correct those particular issues based on the user's unique posture pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by using AI algorithms to analyze posture data and identify correction needs before users attempt exercises. The system pre-processes posture measurements, compares them against optimal posture standards, and prepares personalized exercise prescriptions in advance, enabling users to start effective correction immediately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If AI deep learning programs are used to analyze posture data, then personalized exercise recommendations are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized exercise recommendation accuracyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses an intermediary approach by implementing a layered architecture where wearable devices collect data, cloud-based servers perform AI analysis, and mobile applications deliver results. This intermediary structure distributes system complexity across multiple components, allowing sophisticated AI processing without overwhelming the user interface or requiring complex local processing on wearable devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex mechanical processing with computational methods. Instead of using complex hardware systems to analyze and prescribe exercises, the patent substitutes mechanical complexity with software-based AI algorithms that process posture data and generate recommendations through computational analysis, reducing physical system complexity while maintaining high personalization capability.

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