Solution Overview

Problem

Existing motion analysis systems face challenges in adjusting the presentation quantity of analysis results to suit varying types and lengths of motion, user circumstances, and required accuracy, often requiring excessive time and effort or failing to provide adequate results due to insufficient presentation quantities.

Innovation Solution

A motion analysis apparatus and method that include a motion difference extraction section, a presentation quantity input section, and a motion extraction degree adjustment section, allowing users to specify the quantity of locations or time periods for presentation and adjusting the analysis conditions to match the specified quantity, enabling flexible adjustment of analysis result presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the number of locations for presentation or the time period for presentation is increased, then the completeness of analysis results is improved, but the complexity of presentation contents increases and requires more time and effort for confirmation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of analysis resultsVSAvoidcomplexity of presentation contents
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the predetermined condition based on user input. The presentation quantity input section receives user specifications for the number of locations or time period, and the motion extraction degree adjustment section dynamically modifies the extraction threshold to match the desired presentation quantity. This allows the system to adapt the analysis result presentation to user needs without fixed complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If the number of locations for presentation or the time period for presentation is increased, then the completeness of analysis results is improved, but the time required for confirmation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of analysis resultsVSAvoidtime required for confirmation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates feedback through the presentation quantity input section, which receives user input about the desired number of locations or time period for presentation. The motion extraction degree adjustment section uses this feedback to adjust the predetermined condition, creating a closed-loop system that responds to user needs and optimizes the balance between result completeness and confirmation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Quantity of substance

If the predetermined condition is adjusted to increase the quantity of locations satisfying the condition, then the presentation quantity is improved, but the precision of motion difference extraction may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of analysis resultsVSAvoidprecision of motion difference extraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the predetermined condition (extraction threshold) based on user-specified presentation quantity. When users request a higher quantity of results, the threshold is lowered to include more locations; when fewer results are desired, the threshold is raised to maintain higher precision. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize the trade-off between quantity and precision based on user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A motion analysis apparatus is provided that enables an analysis result presentation quantity to be easily adjusted. A motion analysis apparatus is an apparatus that performs analysis of motion subject to comparison (compared motion) by means of comparison with standard motion, and has a motion feature extraction section and motion extraction section that determine a location where a degree of difference between a motion subject to comparison and a standard motion satisfies a predetermined condition, a presentation quantity input section that receives a specification of a presentation quantity of locations that satisfy the predetermined condition, and a motion extraction degree adjustment section that adjusts the predetermined condition so that a quantity of locations satisfying the predetermined condition becomes the specified presentation quantity.
