Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional chatbot systems are used, then text-based interaction is simple, but real-time movement and posture analysis capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement and posture analysis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges a camera unit for capturing movements with a language model for analysis, combining visual data collection and textual analysis capabilities into a single integrated system that provides comprehensive real-time feedback

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a prompt as an intermediary element that translates camera-captured movement data into a format suitable for language model analysis, enabling the system to process visual information through natural language processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If real-time analysis is implemented, then feedback timeliness is improved, but processing speed requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback delayVSAvoidprocessing power
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary encoding of camera data into prompt format before language model processing, preparing the data in advance to enable faster real-time analysis and reduce processing delays during actual movement assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
