Solution Overview

Problem

Exercising at home using stationary images can cause user discomfort and safety risks due to incompatibility between exercise intensity and visual content, especially when the user exercises alone.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that adjusts images based on physiological information and posture using a wearable device, image capturing device, and display device, with a processor to dynamically modify image characteristics such as speed, contrast, and tone to match the user's physiological and postural state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If stationary images are used for exercise, then device complexity is reduced, but user comfort and safety deteriorate due to incompatibility between exercise intensity and visual content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static exercise image into a dynamic one that automatically adjusts its characteristics (speed, contrast, tone) based on real-time physiological data from wearable sensors and posture data from image capture devices, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure) and posture information, then using this feedback to automatically adjust the exercise image parameters, ensuring user safety without requiring complex manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If stationary images are used for exercise, then device complexity is reduced, but user comfort deteriorates due to lack of visual-exercise compatibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts image characteristics (speed, contrast, tone) based on real-time physiological and posture data, creating a visually compatible exercise experience without requiring complex manual configuration, thus improving comfort while maintaining relative simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting image parameters based on monitored physiological states, eliminating the need for user intervention while enhancing visual-exercise compatibility and user comfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If real-time physiological monitoring and image adjustment are implemented, then user safety is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by integrating multiple functions (physiological monitoring, posture detection, image adjustment) into a unified exercise system, where a single platform performs diverse tasks to improve safety without proportionally increasing complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback mechanism automatically closes the loop between physiological monitoring and image adjustment, enabling safety improvements through automated control rather than complex manual systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for adjusting an image based on physiological information and a posture includes following steps: obtaining a physiological information value corresponding to a user by a processor through a wearable device; obtaining a posture value corresponding to the user by the processor through an image capturing device; and adjusting the image by the processor based on at least one of the physiological information value and the posture value correspondingly.
