Solution Overview
Problem
Biological information such as pulse rate, blood pressure, and body temperature can vary significantly, making it challenging to set an appropriate exercise menu based on a user's condition.
Innovation Solution
An exercise assistance device and system that utilize a combination of biosensors, body temperature sensors, secretion amount sensors, heart rate sensors, and acceleration sensors to acquire and process biological information, allowing for the dynamic adjustment of exercise menus based on real-time data and environmental factors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biological information is used to set exercise menu, then exercise guidance is provided, but reliability of exercise menu setting deteriorates due to variation in biological information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of biological information (pulse rate, blood pressure, body temperature, perspiration amount, perspiration composition, lactic acid concentration, blood oxygen saturation) into a comprehensive assessment system. By merging these diverse parameters, the system achieves more reliable exercise menu setting that accounts for the natural variation in individual biological data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts exercise menu parameters based on real-time biological information changes. It modifies exercise intensity, duration, and type by changing key parameters according to the user's current physiological state, thereby maintaining reliability despite biological variation.
2Measurement precision
If multiple sensors are used to acquire biological information, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-functional sensor system where a single exercise assistance device integrates multiple sensing functions (pulse rate detection, blood pressure measurement, body temperature monitoring, perspiration analysis, lactic acid detection, blood oxygen saturation measurement). This universal approach achieves high measurement precision while managing device complexity through integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses an information processing unit as an intermediary that receives data from multiple sensors, processes and integrates the information, and generates comprehensive exercise guidance. This intermediary layer manages the complexity by centralizing data processing and coordination.

AI summary
An exercise assistance device includes a biological information acquisition unit, a storage unit, an exercise menu setting unit, and an exercise menu presentation unit. The biological information acquisition unit acquires, from a biosensor that measures a measurement target substance contained in a secretion from a living body, biological information indicating a result of such measurement by the biosensor. The storage unit stores the biological information. The exercise menu setting unit sets an exercise menu based on the biological information stored in the storage unit. The exercise menu presentation unit presents the exercise menu set by the exercise menu setting unit.
