Solution Overview

Problem

Existing exercise video guides fail to provide personalized guidance based on individual user levels and do not effectively manage posture during repetitive movements, leading to potential disconnection and reduced immersion.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate personalized exercise video guides by reversing and replaying sections of an original video to create a sequence of set movements, ensuring continuity and alignment of starting and ending postures, thereby enhancing user immersion and reducing posture-related issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If exercise video guides are provided in a linear time sequence, then the video structure is simple and easy to produce, but the guidance does not adapt to individual user levels and causes disconnection in repetitive movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized exercise guidanceVSAvoidvideo generation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The original video is divided into multiple sections that can be independently selected and replayed. Each section corresponds to a specific movement or set of movements, allowing the system to construct personalized exercise guides by selectively combining these segments based on user level and exercise requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The original video is pre-divided into sections during the video creation phase. This preliminary segmentation allows the system to efficiently assemble personalized exercise guides without requiring complex real-time video processing, as the building blocks are already prepared and organized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the original video is replayed multiple times for set movements, then the storage cost and production effort increase significantly, but the exercise guidance becomes more complete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise guidance completenessVSAvoidvideo storage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of storing multiple complete video copies for different set repetitions, the system creates virtual copies by replaying and reversing specific sections of the original video. This allows the generation of multiple exercise guide variations from a single original video source, significantly reducing storage requirements while maintaining guidance completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system reverses specific sections of the original video to create variations suitable for different set movements and repetitions. By playing sections forward and backward, the system generates diverse exercise guidance content from a single original recording, eliminating the need to produce and store multiple separate video files.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Manufacturing precision

If exercise video sections are reversed and replayed to create set movements, then posture alignment and user immersion improve, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposture alignment accuracyVSAvoidvideo processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The video is segmented into manageable sections that can be independently processed and reversed. This segmentation allows the system to apply reverse playback only to specific portions requiring posture alignment, rather than processing entire videos, thereby reducing computational overhead while maintaining precision where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
