Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional exercise performance monitoring systems provide limited data, failing to utilize heart rate information effectively to recommend personalized exercise menus and optimize exercise performance.

Innovation Solution

An exercise performance system that integrates heart rate information, allowing users to enter basic information, select an exercise menu, wear a heart rate measurement device, monitor heart rate in real time, and provide comprehensive exercise results, including calorie burn and heart rate/step analysis, to personalize exercise based on individual heart rate status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional exercise performance monitoring systems are used, then exercise data collection is provided, but heart rate information utilization and personalized exercise recommendation are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized exercise recommendationVSAvoidheart rate information utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors heart rate information during exercise and provides real-time feedback by categorizing heart rate into five stages (very low, low, medium, high, very high). This feedback mechanism enables the system to dynamically adjust exercise recommendations based on the user's actual physiological state, transforming static data collection into an adaptive personalized guidance system that fully utilizes heart rate information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the static exercise monitoring approach into a dynamic system by implementing real-time heart rate monitoring and categorization. The system adapts exercise recommendations based on changing heart rate conditions, allowing the exercise program to evolve during the activity itself. This dynamic adjustment ensures optimal exercise intensity is maintained throughout the workout based on actual physiological responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If real-time heart rate monitoring and categorization into five stages is implemented, then personalized exercise guidance is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise guidanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent simplifies complex heart rate monitoring by segmenting the continuous heart rate data into five discrete stages (very low, low, medium, high, very high). This segmentation transforms a complex continuous physiological parameter into manageable categorical information that is easier to process and provide guidance on. Each stage corresponds to specific exercise recommendations, making the system operationally simpler despite the sophisticated monitoring capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If comprehensive exercise results including calorie burn and heart rate analysis are provided, then user engagement is enhanced, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise data completenessVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and highlights the most critical exercise metrics (heart rate stage, calorie burn, step count, exercise time) from the comprehensive data set. By focusing on these key extracted parameters rather than processing all possible exercise data, the system provides meaningful personalized feedback without the computational burden of analyzing every available data point. This selective extraction maintains user engagement while improving processing efficiency.

AI summary

The present invention provides an exercise performance system using heart rate information, the exercise performance system including: an information entry step in which a user's basic information is entered and usage guidance is provided; an exercise selection step in which it is implemented by the entry of the information in the information entry step and a desired exercise menu is selected by the user; a heart rate connection step in which heart rate information is connected to identify heart rate information before exercise selected in the exercise selection step begins; an exercise performance step in which the exercise selected in the exercise selection step is performed once a heart rate status has been connected in the heart rate connection step; and an exercise result step in which the results of the exercise performed in the exercise performance step are determined.
