Breathing Kinetic GUI and Copper Coil Sensor for Posture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices fail to effectively improve posture and deep breathing by not providing a kinetic display that compares actual breathing to an optimal pattern in a gamification manner, and they lack integration with a posture device featuring a copper coil for induction charging and radio wave protection.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a sensor device with a copper coil for induction charging and electromagnetic radiation shielding, paired with a software program that displays a breathing kinetic graphical user interface on user devices, allowing users to monitor diaphragmatic breathing and receive reminders for optimal posture through a gamified interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a kinetic display comparing actual breathing to optimal pattern is implemented, then user engagement and breathing improvement effectiveness are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a kinetic display that provides real-time visual feedback by comparing actual breathing patterns to optimal patterns. This feedback mechanism guides users to adjust their breathing, improving effectiveness while managing complexity through software-based visualization rather than additional hardware components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical breathing analysis systems with software-based detection using sensors and graphical user interfaces. The kinetic display uses digital processing and visualization to achieve breathing improvement without requiring complex mechanical measurement apparatus.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If gamification elements are added to the breathing interface, then user adherence and engagement improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gamified interface allows users to self-motivate and self-regulate their breathing practice through engaging visual elements and progress tracking. The system serves itself by using software-based gamification rather than requiring additional hardware components to maintain user engagement.
3Ease of operation
If copper coil integration for induction charging is added, then charging convenience and electromagnetic shielding are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The copper coil serves multiple functions: it enables induction charging for convenient power replenishment and provides electromagnetic radiation shielding to protect sensitive sensors. This multi-functionality approach improves ease of operation while managing complexity by having a single component perform multiple roles.
4Productivity
If real-time monitoring and reminders are implemented, then posture and breathing improvement effectiveness are enhanced, but loss of time for users increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic reminders and structured breathing sessions rather than requiring continuous user attention. This periodic approach maintains improvement effectiveness by providing regular guidance while allowing users to manage their time commitment through scheduled, discrete practice sessions.

AI summary
A posture and breathing improvement device, system, and method. The system for improving posture and deep breathing may comprise: a sensor device; posture/breathing improvement software program, comprising one, both, or a combination of a posture improvement system interface and a breathing improvement system interface; and one or more user devices. The sensor device may be physically associated with a user and may communicate with the posture improvement software program. The sensor device may comprise: one or more sensors for monitoring positions and movements of the user. The system may calculate one or more optimum postural positions and breathing exercises for the user, based on data communicated by the sensor device and collected information about the user. The system may monitor a conformance of the user with the optimum postural positions and may display the conformance on the posture improvement system interface. The system may detect and notify the user of one or more non-conformances, such that a user is reminded to maintain at least one optimum postural position and periodically take deep breaths.
