Smart Mirror Exercise Data Sharing via Centralized Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercise systems using smart mirrors are limited by their standalone nature, causing service interruption when users move or another user occupies the terminal, preventing seamless sharing and management of exercise information across multiple smart mirrors.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising multiple smart mirrors connected to a server that stores and shares exercise-related information, including body measurement data, exercise history, and prescription information, allowing users to authenticate and access their exercise data across different smart mirrors and mobile devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single standalone smart mirror terminal is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the service availability deteriorates when users move or another user occupies the terminal
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the exercise information management into multiple independent smart mirror terminals, each capable of accessing and sharing user exercise data through a centralized server. This segmentation allows users to switch between multiple terminals without service interruption, resolving the contradiction between simple system structure and service availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart mirror system is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple users and multiple locations. Each smart mirror terminal can access exercise information for different users and share data across terminals, making the system universally applicable and maintaining service availability regardless of which terminal is occupied.
2Device complexity
If exercise information is stored locally in a single smart mirror, then the device complexity is reduced, but the information sharing capability deteriorates across multiple smart mirrors
Solution Approach 1:
A centralized server acts as an intermediary between multiple smart mirror terminals and users. The server stores exercise information centrally and facilitates sharing across all smart mirrors, enabling seamless information exchange without requiring complex peer-to-peer communication between terminals.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from local two-dimensional storage in individual smart mirrors to a centralized three-dimensional cloud-based storage architecture. This dimensional change enables any smart mirror terminal to access any user's exercise information through the server, dramatically enhancing information sharing capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple smart mirrors are deployed to enable information sharing, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple smart mirror terminals into a unified networked architecture with a centralized server. By combining the terminals and centralizing data management, the system achieves high adaptability for multi-terminal access while managing complexity through standardized communication protocols and centralized control.

AI summary
An exercise information management system and a method of controlling the exercise information management system are provided. The exercise information management system includes a plurality of smart mirrors and a server that communicates with at least one smart mirror. Exercise-related information of an exercise performed by a user in the at least one smart mirror among the plurality of smart mirrors is stored in the server and remaining smart mirrors among the plurality of smart mirrors is configured to share the exercise-related information stored in the server.
