Solution Overview

Problem

Existing exercise recommendation systems fail to accurately tailor exercise programs to individuals with chronic diseases or sub-health conditions, as they do not adequately consider the user's physical condition and disease characteristics.

Innovation Solution

An exercise recommendation method that acquires basic user information, queries a pre-established exercise knowledge graph to obtain a list of target exercise modes and evaluation attributes, determines exercise programs based on these lists, ranks the programs, and recommends the most suitable ones.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If generic exercise recommendations are provided without considering individual conditions, then the system is simple and easy to implement, but the accuracy and suitability of exercise recommendations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of exercise recommendationsVSAvoidcomplexity of recommendation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the exercise recommendation process into multiple independent modules: user information acquisition module, knowledge graph query module, exercise program determination module, and ranking module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the recommendation process, allowing the system to achieve high accuracy through comprehensive evaluation while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design. The segmentation enables parallel processing of different evaluation attributes without creating a monolithic complex system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an exercise knowledge graph as an intermediary data structure that stores pre-established relationships between exercise modes, diseases, and evaluation attributes. This knowledge graph acts as a mediator between user conditions and exercise recommendations, enabling accurate recommendations without requiring complex real-time analysis algorithms. The knowledge graph pre-processes and organizes medical and exercise data, simplifying the recommendation engine's task while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple evaluation attributes are considered for exercise programs, then the suitability for chronic disease patients improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuitability of exercise programsVSAvoidprocessing time for recommendation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the exercise knowledge graph with all possible evaluation attributes, relationships, and exercise programs before actual recommendations are needed. During the recommendation process, the system only needs to query pre-computed data from the knowledge graph rather than performing complex real-time calculations. This preliminary preparation enables fast query-based recommendations while considering multiple evaluation attributes simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different evaluation attributes to have different weights and importance levels based on specific user conditions and disease types. Rather than uniformly processing all attributes with equal computational resources, the system dynamically adjusts the depth and detail of evaluation for each attribute based on its relevance to the user's specific health condition, optimizing processing time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If exercise recommendations are personalized based on physical activity level and disease type, then the effectiveness increases, but the data requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of exercise recommendationsVSAvoidamount of user data required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal exercise knowledge graph that can serve multiple functions: it stores information for different disease types, accommodates various physical activity levels, and supports multiple evaluation attributes simultaneously. This single multi-functional knowledge graph structure enables personalized recommendations across diverse user populations without requiring separate data collection systems for each disease or user type, reducing overall data requirements while maintaining high adaptability.

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