1Productivity

If a system provides comprehensive fitness information and exercise recommendations, then the user can achieve their fitness goals more effectively, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefitness goal achievement efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the fitness recommendation system into distinct functional modules: a fitness state model that processes biological parameters to determine current fitness levels, and a recommendation model that generates personalized exercise prescriptions. This modular segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall system efficiency while managing complexity through clear separation of concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces machine learning models as intermediary components between raw biological parameter data and fitness recommendations. These intermediary models (fitness state model and recommendation model) process and transform complex input data into actionable insights, effectively mediating between data collection and decision-making without requiring the end system to handle all computational complexity directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system uses machine-learning algorithms to determine fitness state, then the accuracy of fitness assessment improves, but the computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefitness state assessment accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-training machine learning models offline to establish the fitness state model and recommendation model. This allows the computationally intensive model training and parameter optimization to be performed in advance, so that during actual use, the system only needs to execute pre-computed algorithms with minimal real-time computational resources, thereby maintaining high accuracy while reducing runtime energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides personalized recommendations based on biological parameters, then the adaptability to individual user needs improves, but the data collection requirements and measurement complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidbiological parameter measurement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing the system to accept multiple types of biological parameters (heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation) through a unified processing framework. The fitness state model and recommendation model are constructed to handle diverse input data types consistently, allowing the system to adapt to individual user needs across different physiological measurements without requiring separate processing pipelines for each parameter type.

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