Solution Overview

Problem

Current motion analysis systems lack the ability to consistently and accurately distinguish different types or portions of motion, and they often lack tools to help analysts fully understand and improve motion data.

Innovation Solution

The system updates motion models using sensor data by receiving and processing data from motion sensors, generating training data based on user annotations, and performing experiments to validate or update the models, allowing for user input and feedback to refine the analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If crude comparisons using video data or motion data are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the measurement precision and reliability of motion analysis deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion analysis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments motion data into distinct types or portions through automated classification algorithms. The system divides continuous sensor data into discrete motion events, categories, and patterns, enabling precise analysis without requiring complex manual intervention. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high measurement precision by focusing on specific motion characteristics rather than performing crude overall comparisons.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces automated classification algorithms and machine learning models as intermediaries between raw sensor data and analysis results. These intermediaries process and interpret motion data automatically, eliminating the need for complex manual video analysis while maintaining high precision. The intermediary systems translate raw sensor readings into meaningful motion classifications and insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If automated analysis is performed with little to no user input, then the ease of operation improves, but the ability to consistently and accurately distinguish different types or portions of motion deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through automated classification algorithms that autonomously process motion data without requiring user intervention. The system automatically distinguishes different types and portions of motion by applying trained machine learning models to sensor data, achieving both ease of operation and reliable consistent results. The automated system serves itself by continuously learning from and adapting to motion patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes in machine learning models to improve motion distinction reliability. The system adjusts classification parameters, thresholds, and model weights based on training data and performance feedback, enabling automated analysis to achieve high consistency in distinguishing different motion types. These dynamic parameter adjustments allow the system to maintain reliability without user input.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system provides actionable insights and interpretations of motion patterns back to users. The automated classification algorithms generate detailed feedback about detected motions, including type, duration, intensity, and comparative analysis against established patterns. This feedback loop preserves comprehensive motion information while using sophisticated analysis tools to enhance rather than complicate the user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds another dimension to motion analysis by transforming raw sensor data into enriched information through automated classification. The system elevates basic motion detection to comprehensive pattern recognition by incorporating temporal, spatial, and contextual dimensions. This dimensional transformation preserves detailed motion information while using complex analysis to extract meaningful insights without proportionally increasing user-facing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
