Solution Overview

Problem

There is no known technology that creates an exercise menu specifically designed to improve walking function and provide it to users, particularly in an aging society where healthy longevity is a priority.

Innovation Solution

An exercise menu management device that stores body state information, walking importance degree information, and exercise information related to walking function improvement. It selects appropriate exercises based on user data and creates a personalized exercise menu for improving walking function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If general exercise programs are provided for slimming and muscle enhancement, then those specific fitness goals are achieved, but walking function improvement is not addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise program adaptabilityVSAvoidwalking function improvement effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from providing uniform general exercise programs to delivering personalized exercise menus tailored to each user's specific body state information and walking function needs. The exercise menu creation unit generates customized exercise selections based on individual assessments of muscle strength, joint flexibility, and walking ability, ensuring that each user receives locally optimized guidance for their specific walking function deficiencies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The exercise program evolves from static general recommendations to dynamic personalized menus that adapt based on continuous assessment of body state information. The system dynamically adjusts exercise selections according to changes in the user's physical condition, ensuring the program remains optimized for walking function improvement as the user's capabilities change over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If exercise menus are created based on comprehensive body state information, then exercise effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise menu customization precisionVSAvoidinformation processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex task of creating personalized exercise menus into distinct functional modules: a body state information acquisition unit that collects specific physiological data, a walking function assessment unit that evaluates mobility, and an exercise menu creation unit that synthesizes this information into customized programs. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific data processing tasks, managing overall system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an exercise menu creation unit as an intermediary that processes and synthesizes complex body state information into actionable exercise recommendations. This intermediary layer translates raw physiological data and assessment results into structured, personalized exercise menus, simplifying the interface between comprehensive data collection and practical exercise guidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An exercise menu contributing to improvement of a walking function is created and is provided to a user. An exercise menu management device includes a memory storing body state information, walking importance degree information, and exercise information. A processor selects one or more of the predetermined parts on the basis of the body state information and the walking importance degree information, creates the exercise menu by selecting a predetermined exercise related to the selected one or more predetermined parts, and outputs the exercise menu that has been created.
