Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sports technologies primarily provide static feedback, insufficiently enabling a fuller reliving or virtual play experience for users, lacking dynamic feedback corresponding to the timing of actions during actual or practice swings.

Innovation Solution

A feedback provision method and system that specifies actions and their generation times based on sensing data, determining and providing feedback at corresponding times using a processor, including a sensing data analysis unit, feedback determination unit, and feedback command generation unit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If static feedback is provided based on sensing data, then the system complexity is reduced, but the user experience and immersion are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser experience

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic feedback by determining feedback content based on the timing of detected actions. The system analyzes sensing data to identify when specific actions occur and provides feedback at corresponding times, transforming the static feedback approach into a dynamic one that adapts to the user's movements and enhances immersion without requiring overly complex system architecture.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies feedback principles by creating a closed-loop system where sensing data is continuously analyzed, action timing is determined, and feedback is provided in real-time correspondence with detected actions. This feedback mechanism enhances user experience by providing timely information about performance, enabling better learning and improvement while maintaining manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If feedback is provided at fixed intervals, then the system operation is simplified, but the feedback timing does not correspond to actual action timing

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem operationVSAvoidfeedback timing precision

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-defining multiple types of feedback content corresponding to different action timings. The system analyzes sensing data to detect when specific actions occur and selects appropriate feedback from the pre-defined set, allowing for precise timing correspondence without requiring complex real-time feedback generation logic.
