Solution Overview

Problem

Existing exercise evaluation systems fail to effectively select and evaluate portions of exercises that represent the user's average performance, especially when sudden or deviant motions are present, and do not efficiently integrate and analyze multiple data points.

Innovation Solution

An exercise evaluation system that calculates frequency scores for individual time points, fixes these scores as total frequency scores, selects effective time points based on these scores, and evaluates exercises using index values at these points, while accounting for normal distribution of index values to filter out deviant motions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If exercise evaluation systems evaluate all time points during exercise, then comprehensive data collection is achieved, but sudden or deviant motions contaminate the average performance evaluation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoiddata representativeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by calculating frequency scores for all index values before evaluation, and pre-identifying effective time points where the total frequency score meets the threshold condition. This preliminary filtering ensures that when actual evaluation occurs, only clean data points representing average performance are used, eliminating contamination from sudden or deviant motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by evaluating different time points differently based on their frequency score characteristics. Instead of uniform evaluation across all time points, it selectively evaluates only those time points where the total frequency score of all index values meets the threshold, ensuring that local data quality varies according to representativeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If multiple index values are calculated and analyzed for each time point, then comprehensive exercise analysis is achieved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple index value calculations by summing their frequency scores to produce a single total frequency score for each time point. This consolidation simplifies the decision-making process while retaining comprehensive information, as the threshold evaluation of the summed score implicitly considers all individual index values without requiring separate processing of each.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the essential information needed for evaluation by calculating frequency scores for multiple index values and then combining them into a single total frequency score metric. This extraction approach maintains data completeness while reducing processing complexity by focusing on the aggregated score rather than individually analyzing each index value.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If frequency scores are calculated and summed for all index values at each time point, then accurate effective time point selection is achieved, but calculation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime point selection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of frequency scores for all index values and their sums before final evaluation. By pre-computing these values and storing them, the system avoids redundant calculations during the actual evaluation phase, thereby maintaining high selection accuracy while reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
