Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in selecting appropriate exercise content from a vast array of options on television, as they lack recommendations tailored to their specific body parts and camera settings, leading to inefficient workout experiences.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that captures images of users, identifies object information such as body parts and posture, and transmits this data along with camera information to a server, which then recommends a list of exercise content matching the user's conditions, allowing for personalized content selection and comparison with real-time video.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually browse through a large number of exercise content options on television, then they can find content they want, but it takes a lot of time and effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of content selectionVSAvoidtime for content selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures images of users, identifies body parts and postures, and recommends exercise content without requiring manual user input. The television device performs self-service by autonomously completing the content selection process based on image recognition results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes exercise content by tagging it with body part and posture information during content creation or storage. This preliminary organization allows for rapid retrieval and recommendation when a user's image is analyzed, eliminating the need for manual browsing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system analyzes user images and camera information to generate personalized recommendations, then content relevance is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of content recommendationVSAvoidcomplexity of image processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an image recognition server as an intermediary that handles the complex task of analyzing user images and camera information. The television device itself remains relatively simple, delegating the sophisticated image processing and recommendation generation to an external server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The image recognition server provides universal functionality by handling various types of image analysis, body part identification, posture recognition, and content recommendation across different users and exercise types, reducing the need for device-specific complex processing.

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