Exercise Schedule Segmentation for Wearable Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when carrying electronic devices during exercises due to their bulkiness and limited functionality, making it difficult to manage and link exercise schedules between these devices and wearable devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication circuit, memory, and processor that automatically divides exercise schedules into segments, synchronizes them with external devices, and receives exercise records, allowing for seamless linking and management without user operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If exercise schedules are stored in wearable devices, then portability and convenience are improved, but storage capacity and management capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the exercise schedule data into multiple segments and distributes them across different devices (wearable device and external electronic device). The wearable device stores essential exercise information while the external device stores detailed schedule data, thereby resolving the contradiction between limited wearable storage and the need for comprehensive schedule management.
2Quantity of substance
If exercise schedules are managed in external electronic devices, then storage capacity is improved, but portability and ease of use during exercise deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts essential exercise schedule information (such as exercise type, duration, and intensity) and stores it in the wearable device, while keeping detailed schedule data in the external electronic device. This allows the wearable device to function independently during exercise without requiring the bulkier external device, thus maintaining convenience while ensuring comprehensive data storage.
3Reliability
If manual linking operation is required between devices, then device compatibility control is improved, but user operation complexity and time consumption deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic device pairing and schedule synchronization mechanisms that perform linking operations in advance without requiring manual user intervention. The wearable device automatically connects to the external electronic device and transfers exercise schedule data, thereby maintaining reliable device compatibility control while eliminating the need for complex manual operations.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit configured to perform wireless communication, a memory configured to store an exercise schedule to be divided into a plurality of segments, and a processor configured to electrically connect with the communication circuit and the memory. The processor is configured to send a segment automatically selected based on at least one of a policy defined in the electronic device or attributes of an external device from among the plurality of segments included in the exercise schedule to the external device, if the electronic device connects with the external device through the wireless communication and to receive an exercise record collected by the external device from the external device, if the electronic device connects with the external device again through the wireless communication after the wireless communication is disconnected.
