Solution Overview

Problem

Current motion monitoring devices struggle to intuitively display physiological data to users, leading to reduced user trust when there is a discrepancy between displayed data and user sensation.

Innovation Solution

A motion data display method and system that generates a virtual character model matching the user, allowing for intuitive comparison of user motion data with reference data through animation on a user interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If physiological data is displayed in traditional numerical or text format, then the device complexity is low, but the intuitiveness and user understanding of motion data is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintuitiveness of motion dataVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual character as a digital copy of the user's body, mapping physiological data to visual representations of body parts. This allows abstract numerical data to be transformed into intuitive visual feedback showing actual motion patterns, muscle activation, and posture, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and intuitiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional numerical displays to two-dimensional visual representations by mapping physiological signals onto a virtual character model. This dimensional transformation enables users to perceive motion data spatially and intuitively rather than through abstract numbers, improving understanding without significantly increasing system complexity

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

2Measurement precision

If detailed physiological data is provided to users, then the measurement precision is high, but the user trust decreases when data does not match user sensation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephysiological data accuracyVSAvoiduser trust in device
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual character serves as an intermediary between the raw physiological data and the user's perception. Instead of presenting cold numerical data that may contradict user sensation, the system translates data into visual representations of motion and posture that users can intuitively understand and verify against their own sensation, thereby maintaining trust while preserving measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides visual feedback through the virtual character that reflects actual motion patterns and physiological states. This feedback loop allows users to compare displayed information with their subjective sensation, and when discrepancies exist, the visual nature of the feedback makes it easier to identify and correct measurement or interpretation issues, maintaining user trust

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A motion data display method and system is provided. The motion data and the reference motion data corresponding to the motion data of the user during moving of the user may be obtained; and the motion data of the user and the reference motion data may be combined with the virtual character, and the comparison between the motion data of the user and the reference motion data is intuitively displayed by using the animation of the virtual character, so that the user may intuitively find a difference between the motion data of the user and the reference motion data by observing the animation of the virtual character, so as to correct the motion during moving and move properly.
