Solution Overview

Problem

Aging demographics lead to increased muscular weakness and joint problems, necessitating effective exercise solutions for elderly users or patients with reduced strength or joint issues.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising an electronic device, wearable device, and server that generates personalized exercise programs based on user data, using communication modules and processors to determine exercise modes, amounts, and programs, and control wearable devices for assistance or resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a personalized exercise program is generated based on user data, then exercise effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveexercise effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the exercise program generation process into distinct modules: user data collection module, exercise mode determination module, exercise program generation module, and program transmission module. Each module handles specific processing tasks independently, making the complex system manageable and maintainable while achieving personalized exercise recommendations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between the electronic device and the wearable device, centralizing the complex processing of user data and exercise program generation. This intermediary approach allows the system to handle complexity in a centralized manner while keeping client devices simple

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple exercise modes and programs are generated, then exercise versatility is improved, but data processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveexercise versatilityVSAvoiddata processing load

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates multiple exercise programs with different intensities and durations as candidate options, then selectively transmits only the most suitable program to the wearable device. This approach provides versatility in program options while minimizing unnecessary data processing and transmission by filtering out unsuitable programs before final transmission

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system determines candidate exercise modes based on specific user characteristics (age, gender, weight, exercise history) and tailors the exercise programs to individual needs. Each program is customized to the user's local requirements rather than providing a generic solution, optimizing the balance between versatility and processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
