Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of effective technical means to accurately determine the traveling condition for horse riding, which increases the risk of accidents, especially for beginners, due to subjective judgment by riders.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that utilize a pre-trained landform analysis model to analyze image data from a helmet-mounted camera, combining slope values and landform types to determine suitable riding conditions, generating command information through indicator lamps, voice commands, and electric stimuli to adjust the horse's movement status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a rider uses subjective judgment to determine traveling condition, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the accuracy of recognizing traveling condition is low and safety is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of recognizing traveling conditionVSAvoidcomplexity of the system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of subjective human judgment with an automated electronic system comprising sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS), image collectors, and processing units that objectively detect and analyze terrain features, slope angles, and environmental conditions to determine traveling conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-diagnosis and self-assessment by automatically collecting data from multiple sensors, processing the information through algorithms, and generating traveling condition assessments without requiring external expert evaluation or subjective rider judgment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If a rider lacks experience in judging traveling condition, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the reliability of the traveling condition assessment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of traveling condition assessmentVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary automated assessment system that acts as a mediator between the rider and the complex task of evaluating traveling conditions. The system processes sensor data, analyzes terrain features, and provides reliable assessments through indicator lamps and voice commands, freeing the rider from needing expert judgment skills

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors traveling conditions through multiple sensors and provides real-time feedback to the rider via indicator lamps displaying different colors (green, yellow, red) and voice commands, enabling the rider to adjust behavior based on objective condition assessments without requiring personal expertise

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If the system provides detailed command information to adjust horse movement, then the productivity of safety improvement is enhanced, but the loss of information to the rider increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of riderVSAvoidinformation overload to rider
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different information presentation methods tailored to specific conditions: simple color-coded indicator lamps for general conditions, detailed voice commands for specific actions needed, and graduated levels of information based on the urgency and complexity of the situation, rather than providing all information uniformly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments information delivery into distinct channels and levels: visual indicators provide immediate condition status, voice commands provide specific action guidance when needed, and detailed analysis is available upon request. This segmentation allows the rider to receive only the necessary information for each situation, reducing overload while maintaining safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an analyzing and processing method and device for a road. In the analyzing and processing method for a road provided by the present disclosure, a slope value of a ground surface is obtained and image data of the ground surface is collected, and then the image data is analyzed and processed by using a pre-trained landform analysis model, so as to determine a landform type corresponding to the image data. A traveling condition is then determined based on the slope value of the ground surface and the landform type, and command information is generated according to the traveling conditions.
