Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for teaching and memorizing exercise routines, such as fitness and dance, are inefficient and costly, as they rely on manual creation of motion graphics and require repeated viewings of video instructions, making it difficult for users to effectively learn and remember complex routines.

Innovation Solution

The development of automated systems and methods for generating motion-graphics enhanced training videos, which break down exercise routines into subroutines, incorporate audio-visual aids, and progressively reduce their intensity to aid memorization, using a video editing module, motion graphics module, and orchestration module to create and render interactive video content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual creation of motion graphics is used to enhance exercise routine videos, then the memorization effectiveness is improved, but the time and cost required for content creation increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememorization effectivenessVSAvoidcontent creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated generation of motion graphics content by having the computer system perform the entire workflow of video processing, motion graphic generation, and sequence assembly without requiring manual human intervention for each video, thus resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of creating motion graphics with an automated computational system that uses video processing algorithms and pre-defined templates to generate the same educational content automatically, eliminating the time-consuming manual animation work while preserving memorization effectiveness

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

2Ease of manufacture

If recorded video instructions are used for teaching exercise routines, then the instructional content is provided, but the users forget subroutines and must repeatedly view the videos, reducing learning efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstructional content deliveryVSAvoidlearning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments complex exercise routines into smaller subroutines and presents them in a structured sequence with motion graphics highlights, making it easier for users to learn and remember each component individually rather than attempting to memorize the entire routine at once, thus improving learning efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing of video content by pre-identifying key movements, subroutines, and critical moments, then enhances these with motion graphics before the user views the content, preparing the instructional material in advance to maximize learning efficiency during the actual viewing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If custom motion graphics are manually created for every exercise routine, then the memorization support is enhanced, but the complexity and cost of content production increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememorization supportVSAvoidcontent production complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a universal automated platform that can generate motion graphics for any exercise routine using the same core algorithms and templates, making the content production process simple and reusable across different routines, thus reducing complexity while maintaining memorization support

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses pre-defined motion graphic templates and patterns that can be automatically applied and adapted to different exercise routines, copying proven effective visual elements rather than creating unique graphics from scratch for each routine, thereby reducing production complexity while maintaining effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
