Posture Correction System Using Quotient Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging for individuals to self-diagnose poor posture, as they may not be aware of it until experiencing back or neck pain, and existing solutions lack effective real-time monitoring and corrective actions.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a sensing device and computing device to measure posture, derive a posture quotient based on multiple measurements and usage time, and perform actions such as alerts or adjustments to correct posture, including accessing health information for personalized responses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If real-time posture monitoring is implemented using sensing devices, then posture detection capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by integrating multiple sensing capabilities (camera, accelerometer, gyroscope) into a single computing device system that performs both posture detection and health data analysis. The camera module captures images for posture analysis, while the same device processes health information from stored data, eliminating the need for separate dedicated posture detection devices and reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service through automated posture analysis where the computing device automatically captures images, analyzes posture using image processing algorithms, compares measurements against health information, and generates alerts without requiring manual intervention. The device serves itself by autonomously performing detection, analysis, and correction recommendation functions.
2Measurement precision
If multiple posture measurements are taken over time, then measurement accuracy is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous useful action by continuously monitoring posture through repeated image capture and analysis over time intervals. The system takes multiple measurements continuously rather than intermittently, allowing real-time tracking of posture changes while the device performs operations during normal usage without requiring separate measurement sessions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary action by pre-storing health information and measurement thresholds before actual posture monitoring begins. The computing device has health data, anatomical reference points, and alert thresholds prepared in advance, so when measurements are taken, the system can immediately compare and analyze without delay, reducing the time penalty of multiple measurements.
3Reliability
If personalized posture correction is provided based on health information, then effectiveness of correction is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing personalized correction based on specific local characteristics of each user's health information. The system analyzes individual health data (such as specific medical conditions, anatomical variations, or injury history) and tailors posture alerts and corrections to address that user's particular needs rather than applying generic corrections, thereby improving effectiveness without requiring complex customization interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple functions into a unified personalized correction system: health information retrieval, posture measurement, comparison analysis, and correction recommendation are combined in a single integrated process. The computing device consolidates these functions rather than requiring separate systems for each task, managing complexity through integration while maintaining personalized effectiveness.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, a system and a computer program product are provided. A posture of an individual is measured while the individual is using an application. The measuring a posture includes making multiple measurements. An amount of time that the individual is using the application is measured. The multiple measurements and the measured amount of time are analyzed to derive a posture quotient. At least one action is performed by a computing device based on the derived posture quotient. The at least one action includes adjusting execution of the application to enable correction of the posture.
