Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sports training systems lack adaptability and practicality in controlling modular device activations, especially during complex or unexpected movements, as they rely on preset programs and external control interfaces that can be difficult for trainers to manage effectively.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic training system with modular devices that include sensors for detecting body movements, gestures, and voice commands, allowing real-time control through a control unit that generates activation commands based on acquired sensor parameters, enabling rapid and adaptable activation of devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If preset programs are used to control modular device activation, then the system operates automatically with consistent sequencing, but the adaptability to individual training needs and complex movements is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic activation controlVSAvoidadaptability to training needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates sensors that detect the trainee's position, movements, and responses in real-time, feeding this information back to the control unit. This feedback loop enables the system to automatically adjust activation sequences based on actual trainee performance and position, combining automatic operation with adaptive responsiveness to individual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If a control interface is provided for trainer-managed activation, then adaptability to individual needs improves, but the ease of operation deteriorates during complex or unexpected movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrainer control capabilityVSAvoidtrainer interaction difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables the trainee to control device activations through their own movements and actions. As the trainee moves between modular devices and interacts with them physically, the system automatically detects these actions and triggers appropriate responses, eliminating the need for the trainer to manually operate a complex control interface during dynamic training sessions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If modular devices are positioned in precise locations, then preset programs can be executed accurately, but the system complexity and setup requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice positioning accuracyVSAvoidpositioning requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static, pre-positioned device arrangements to dynamic positioning where modular devices can be freely placed and the system automatically adapts. Sensors detect the actual positions of devices and trainees in real-time, allowing the control unit to adjust activation sequences based on current configurations rather than requiring precise predetermined positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
