Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used to estimate Maximum Aerobic Power (MAP), then the estimation process is simple, but the accuracy of MAP estimation is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveMAP estimation accuracyVSAvoidestimation method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing exercise data (heart rate, power, cadence) over multiple time points before MAP estimation. Validation rules are pre-established to screen data quality, and a power estimation model is pre-trained with valid data points, enabling accurate real-time MAP estimation without complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously validating exercise data against predetermined conditions (e.g., heart rate-power relationship consistency, cadence ranges). Invalid data points are rejected and excluded from model training, while valid data feeds back to refine the power estimation model, progressively improving MAP estimation accuracy through iterative optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If all exercise data is used for model training, then the training process is efficient, but the model accuracy deteriorates due to invalid data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel estimation accuracyVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and isolates valid data points from the complete exercise dataset by applying validation rules. Specifically, it separates data meeting predetermined conditions (e.g., consistent heart rate-power relationships, appropriate cadence ranges) from invalid data, using only the extracted valid portions for power estimation model training to maintain high accuracy while managing processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If the power estimation model is updated continuously with all data, then the model adapts quickly, but the model reliability decreases due to noisy data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel estimation reliabilityVSAvoidmodel adaptation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously validating exercise data against predetermined conditions (e.g., heart rate-power relationship consistency, cadence ranges). Invalid data points are rejected and excluded from model training, while valid data feeds back to refine the power estimation model, progressively improving MAP estimation accuracy through iterative optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary validation and filtering of exercise data before updating the power estimation model. By pre-screening data quality against established criteria and preparing only valid data points for model updates, the system ensures reliable model adaptation without being compromised by noisy or invalid measurements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
