1Reliability

If traditional exercise training methods are used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the exercise intensity cannot be adjusted appropriately according to physiological information, resulting in suboptimal training effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining effectVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors physiological information (heart rate, oxygen consumption) during exercise and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust exercise intensity parameters. The control unit receives real-time physiological data, compares it with target values, and automatically modifies exercise parameters to maintain optimal training intensity, thereby improving training effectiveness while managing system complexity through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing users to input their physiological information and exercise preferences, after which the system automatically generates and adjusts exercise prescriptions without requiring manual intervention. The control unit autonomously processes physiological data, determines appropriate intensity levels, and adjusts exercise parameters, reducing the need for professional guidance while maintaining high training quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes exercise parameters (intensity, duration, frequency) based on real-time physiological measurements. The control unit adjusts parameters such as resistance level, speed, or power output according to measured heart rate, oxygen consumption, or other physiological indicators, enabling personalized training adaptation while maintaining user-friendly operation through automated parameter modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from static, fixed exercise programs to dynamic, real-time adjustments. Exercise parameters are continuously modified based on live physiological feedback, allowing the training to adapt to individual capabilities and progressions. This dynamic adjustment mechanism provides high personalization while keeping the user interface simple, as the system handles complexity automatically.

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual assessment and prescription methods with automated electronic processing. Physiological information collected by sensors is automatically transmitted, processed, and used to generate exercise prescriptions through computer algorithms. This substitution of mechanical/manual processes with electronic and computational systems increases training efficiency while managing complexity through standardized digital processing protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer between physiological measurement and exercise prescription. A control unit or software platform acts as an intermediary that receives physiological data, processes it according to established algorithms, and translates it into actionable exercise recommendations. This intermediary layer streamlines the complex relationship between monitoring and prescription generation, improving efficiency while containing system complexity within a centralized processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An intelligent exercise intensity assessing system includes an exercise testing machine, a physiological information sensor, a signal transmitter connected with the physiological information sensor, a central control host connected with the signal transmitter, and a cloud database connected with the central control host. The physiological information sensor senses physiological information of an exerciser before and after the exerciser operates the exercise testing machine. The physiological information is transmitted by the signal transmitter to the central control host, and transmitted by the central control host to the cloud database. The cloud database analyzes the physiological information to obtain a corresponding forecasted watt value, and obtains a resistance level of different fitness apparatuses according to the forecasted watt value. The intelligent exercise intensity assessing system can trace and record data of the exerciser, and obtain a suitable exercise prescription by calculation in coordination with the physiological information of the exerciser.
