Solution Overview

Problem

Rehabilitation training systems often fail to motivate trainees effectively, as generic comments may discourage them and lack clarity on improvement points, leading to reduced training efficacy.

Innovation Solution

A rehabilitation training system that includes an evaluation unit, storage unit, reception unit, selection unit, and presentation unit, allowing authorized training assistants to designate and present tailored evaluation comments based on trainee characteristics and progress stages, balancing positive and negative feedback to maintain motivation and understanding of training objectives.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If generic evaluation comments are presented to all trainees, then the system operation is simple, but the trainee motivation and training effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidtrainee motivation and training effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of evaluation comments into positive and negative categories before presentation. This allows the selection unit to pre-prepare appropriate comment combinations based on trainee performance levels, ensuring motivated feedback is ready in advance without complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the selection of evaluation comments based on real-time assessment of trainee performance. The selection unit varies the combination of positive and negative comments according to the specific trainee's results, making the feedback adaptive rather than static

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If only positive evaluation comments are presented to trainees, then trainee motivation is maintained, but the trainee cannot understand improvement points

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrainee motivationVSAvoidimprovement point information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different qualities of feedback to different situations by classifying comments into positive and negative categories. Positive comments are used to maintain motivation while negative comments provide specific improvement information, with the local application determined by the selection unit based on performance assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If only negative evaluation comments are presented to trainees, then the trainee understands improvement points, but trainee motivation is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimprovement point informationVSAvoidtrainee motivation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates an asymmetric feedback structure where positive and negative comments are presented in unequal proportions and at different times. Positive comments are used more frequently to maintain motivation, while negative comments are strategically applied to provide improvement information without overwhelming the trainee

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

AI summary

The rehabilitation training system includes: an evaluation unit configured to evaluate rehabilitation training performed by a trainee; a storage unit configured to store a plurality of evaluation comments regarding the evaluation; a reception unit configured to receive, from an authorized training assistant, designation of an evaluation comment that is restricted from being presented to a specific trainee among the plurality of evaluation comments; a selection unit configured to select an evaluation comment to be presented to the specific trainee from the plurality of evaluation comments based on the evaluation for the rehabilitation training of the specific trainee that is performed by the evaluation unit and the designation; and a presentation unit configured to present the evaluation comment selected by the selection unit.
