Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual counting or rope jumping device counting is used to record rope jumping quantity, then the recording process is simple, but recording accuracy deteriorates due to omissions and erroneous recording

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording accuracyVSAvoidrecording process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual counting and mechanical rope jumping device counting with an electronic device that uses sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, sound sensor) to automatically detect and record rope jumping actions. The electronic device processes sensor data to identify jumping movements, calculate jumping quantity, and detect interruptions, thereby eliminating human error and improving recording accuracy while automating the previously manual process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service recording by having the electronic device automatically detect, count, and record rope jumping actions without requiring user intervention. The device autonomously processes sensor data to identify valid jumping movements, calculates jumping quantity and interruptions, and generates exercise records, allowing users to simply perform the exercise while the system handles all recording tasks independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If only rope jumping quantity is recorded, then the recording process is simple, but information completeness deteriorates due to lack of multi-dimensional data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends recording from a single dimension (jumping quantity) to multiple dimensions by simultaneously capturing and analyzing various parameters including jumping quantity, jumping interruptions, exercise duration, intensity levels, and motion patterns. The electronic device processes sensor data to extract features across different dimensions, providing comprehensive exercise evaluation that encompasses both quantitative and qualitative aspects of rope jumping performance

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the rope jumping exercise data into multiple independent evaluation dimensions: jumping quantity (count of valid jumping movements), jumping interruptions (pauses or invalid movements), exercise duration (total time), and intensity (based on motion amplitude and frequency). This segmentation allows the system to analyze and record each dimension separately while maintaining overall information completeness, enabling users to understand different aspects of their exercise performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If a fixed window width is used for peak detection, then the detection process is simple, but detection accuracy deteriorates because it does not adapt to varying exercise intensities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeak detection accuracyVSAvoidwindow width calculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic window width adjustment by calculating the window width based on the user's exercise intensity and motion characteristics. The electronic device analyzes sensor data to determine appropriate window widths adaptively, allowing the peak detection algorithm to adjust its parameters in real-time according to the user's jumping speed, amplitude, and rhythm, thereby maintaining high detection accuracy across varying exercise intensities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the window width parameter dynamically based on exercise conditions. The electronic device calculates optimal window width values by analyzing the temporal and frequency characteristics of sensor data, adjusting this critical parameter to match the user's current exercise state. This parameter adaptation enables accurate peak detection whether the user is jumping slowly or rapidly, ensuring consistent measurement precision across different exercise intensities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
