Breathing Guidance Method for Exercise Rhythm Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is currently no effective solution for providing breathing guidance to users in exercise and health fields, leading to improper breathing rhythms during exercise and potentially ineffective rehabilitation.
Innovation Solution
A breathing guidance method and apparatus that uses an electronic device to prompt users with different prompt manners for inhalation and exhalation based on detected action types, ensuring that the breathing rhythm matches the action rhythm.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If no breathing guidance is provided, then users can exercise freely without interference, but breathing rhythm becomes improper and exercise performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses sensors to detect user actions (running, swimming, weightlifting) and provides real-time breathing guidance feedback through the electronic device. The breathing guidance is dynamically adjusted based on detected action types, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user exercise patterns while optimizing breathing rhythm.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects action types through sensor data without requiring manual input from the user. The electronic device autonomously determines when inhalation or exhalation guidance is needed based on the detected actions, allowing the system to serve itself in identifying exercise states and providing appropriate breathing guidance.
2Productivity
If breathing guidance is provided for all actions, then breathing rhythm is optimized, but unnecessary prompts increase device complexity and user burden
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different breathing guidance strategies for different action types. Instead of using a uniform guidance approach for all actions, the system tailors the breathing guidance to match the specific requirements of running, swimming, weightlifting, or other detected actions, optimizing effectiveness for each local context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the breathing guidance parameters (prompt timing, duration, intensity) based on the detected action type. By adjusting these parameters dynamically according to the action being performed, the system optimizes breathing rhythm without requiring overly complex prompt differentiation mechanisms.
3Productivity
If multiple prompt manners are used for different actions, then breathing guidance effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device serves multiple functions: it detects action types through sensors, determines appropriate breathing guidance timing, and delivers prompts through various output channels. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single integrated device, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining effectiveness.

AI summary
Embodiments of the disclosure include a breathing guidance method and a related apparatus. Some embodiments include obtaining sensor data. Some embodiments determine an action type of a user based on the sensor data. Some embodiments output a first prompt in response to determining that the action type of the user represents a first action type, where the first prompt is used to prompt the user to perform an inhalation action. Some embodiments output a second prompt in response to determining that the action type of the user represents a second action type, where the second prompt is used to prompt the user to perform an exhalation action, and is different from the second prompt.
