Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If digital therapeutics provide exercise contents with arbitrarily set target values, then the exercise program can be simplified, but the ability to determine absolute user level and provide accurate result data is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise program simplicityVSAvoiduser level measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates motion recognition technology that captures user movement and compares it against reference data to automatically determine exercise performance levels. The system provides real-time feedback by displaying recognized motion data and calculating exercise results based on actual user performance, enabling accurate measurement of absolute user level without complex manual assessment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces arbitrary manual target value setting with automated motion recognition systems. Instead of relying on pre-set arbitrary targets, the system uses image processing and motion analysis algorithms to objectively measure and evaluate user exercise performance, substituting the mechanical/arbitrary target setting process with an automated scientific measurement approach.

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

2Device complexity

If digital therapeutics only provide exercise contents without motion recognition, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ability to extract exercise data and provide result data for medical personnel is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidexercise result data availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system integrates multiple functions into a unified platform: it provides exercise guidance, captures motion data through the camera, processes and recognizes movements, extracts exercise data, calculates results, and provides both user feedback and medical personnel reports. This multi-functional integration allows the system to generate comprehensive exercise result data without requiring separate complex systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The motion recognition system acts as an intermediary between the exercise content delivery and the data extraction processes. It captures visual data from the camera, processes this information to recognize user movements, and bridges the gap between simple exercise guidance and complex data analysis, enabling automated extraction of exercise data and generation of result reports for medical personnel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
