Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in setting appropriate and achievable physical performance targets, leading to ineffective improvement in physical fitness over time.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine a reference value of physical performance at a starting point, set multiple intermediate target values in increasing order based on a final target value and time, and provide activity suggestions to gradually meet these targets, with adjustments made if initial targets are not met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users set a high final target value for physical performance, then the ultimate improvement potential is increased, but the achievability and motivation during the process deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a single final target into multiple intermediate targets arranged in increasing order. This segmentation allows users to progress through achievable steps rather than facing one daunting final goal, thereby maintaining motivation while working toward a high ultimate target value.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts targets based on user performance. If intermediate targets are not met, the system modifies subsequent targets to ensure they remain achievable, creating a dynamic adaptation process that balances ambition with attainability throughout the physical activity duration.
2Productivity
If users set unrealistic physical performance targets, then the potential for rapid improvement is increased, but the likelihood of failure and user dropout increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides continuous feedback by monitoring whether users meet intermediate targets and adjusts subsequent targets accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that targets remain challenging yet achievable, preventing both premature dropout and excessive ease that would slow progress.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes target parameters dynamically based on user performance. When users fail to meet intermediate targets, the system modifies subsequent target values and time arrangements to maintain an optimal balance between improvement speed and completion reliability.
3Ease of operation
If the physical activity duration is extended to allow gradual progress, then the achievability of high targets improves, but the time investment and user burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user baseline performance and pre-calculates optimized intermediate targets and time arrangements before the physical activity begins. This preliminary action allows for efficient progression toward high targets without requiring excessive extended duration, as the path is预先 optimized.
