Solution Overview

Problem

Current fitness solutions, such as gyms and traditional exercise videos, are often costly, inconvenient, and fail to adapt to individual users' needs and fitness levels, leading to motivation and engagement issues.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating customized exercise sessions and videos by dynamically selecting audio clips and metadata, using user feedback to create personalized content that adjusts to the user's fitness level, incorporating user feedback from sensors and self-reported data to update exercise components and difficulty levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional exercise videos are used, then users can exercise at home without cost, but the content is static and does not adapt to user's fitness level or needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user fitness levelVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic exercise content that automatically adapts to the user's fitness level by monitoring performance metrics and adjusting exercise parameters in real-time, transforming static pre-recorded videos into dynamically responsive workout programs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user performance data from sensors and self-reported information is continuously analyzed to update and personalize exercise recommendations, creating a closed-loop adaptive system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If gyms with personal trainers are used, then users receive personalized exercise guidance, but the cost is high and scheduling is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of exercise regimenVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to receive personalized exercise guidance through an automated platform that independently analyzes user data, generates customized workout programs, and provides real-time feedback without requiring human trainer intervention for each session

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts exercise parameters such as intensity, duration, and type based on user performance metrics and goals, providing personalized adaptation similar to human trainers but through automated parameter modification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If pre-rendered fitness curriculum is used, then users can access structured exercise content, but it does not comprehend their specific fitness level or health goals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment with user goalsVSAvoiduser-specific fitness information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary assessment of user fitness level and goals before generating the exercise curriculum, and continuously updates the program based on ongoing performance tracking to maintain alignment with user objectives

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The platform serves multiple functions including initial assessment, continuous monitoring, dynamic program generation, and real-time adjustment, making it adaptable to various user levels and goals through a single unified system

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

AI summary

System, apparatuses, and methods can provide customized exercise sessions and customized videos corresponding to the exercise session. Audio clips can be dynamically selected to make custom audio content for an exercise session. The audio clips and metadata can be obtained, where the audio clips correspond to categories. The exercise session can include one or more components. A destination timeline for a component can include one or more first segments that require audio, and one or more second segments that can optionally have audio. Audio clips can be selected for the various segments, where a segment can be designated for a particular category of audio clips. Identification information for the selected audio clips can be saved and used to generate the custom audio content.
