Wearable Electronic Apparatus Exercise Mode Data Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable electronic apparatuses face usability issues due to excess information processing, which can shorten battery life and overwhelm users, particularly during physical activities.
Innovation Solution
A wearable electronic apparatus with a user interface, radio transceiver, sensor interface, and processors that filter and prioritize physical activity data, allowing only relevant application data to be output during exercise modes, while conserving energy by switching to power-saving modes and buffering or transmitting data accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all application data is processed and output during exercise, then complete information is provided to the user, but battery life is shortened and user becomes overwhelmed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and processes only the most relevant application data during exercise modes, filtering out unnecessary information. The system identifies and outputs only data that meets predetermined relevance conditions (e.g., safety-critical alerts, emergency contacts), while excluding routine or non-urgent notifications, thereby extending battery life without sacrificing essential information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different data processing qualities to different types of application data based on their relevance during exercise. Critical safety information receives high-priority processing and immediate output, while routine notifications are buffered or excluded. This localized quality approach ensures essential information is preserved while reducing overall data processing load to extend battery life.
2Loss of information
If all application data is output to the user during exercise, then complete information is provided, but user experience deteriorates due to excess information
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and outputs only the most relevant application data during exercise modes, filtering out unnecessary information that would overwhelm the user. By applying predetermined relevance conditions, the system delivers essential information (safety alerts, emergency contacts) while excluding routine notifications, thereby maintaining user experience without sacrificing critical information delivery.
3Measurement precision
If the apparatus processes all data continuously, then data accuracy is maintained, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic data processing during exercise modes, where the system continuously monitors for data meeting predetermined relevance conditions but only processes and outputs data that satisfies these conditions. This periodic filtering approach maintains data accuracy for relevant information while avoiding continuous processing of all incoming data, thereby reducing energy consumption without compromising measurement precision for critical data.

AI summary
A wearable electronic apparatus, a computer program and a method are disclosed. Physical activity data measured relating to a user of a wearable electronic apparatus is obtained (802). An exercise mode of the wearable electronic apparatus is switched (804) on such that information related to the physical activity data is outputted (806) to the user. While the exercise mode is on, wireless application data is received (808), and, only if the application data fulfills (810 YES) a predetermined relevance condition, the application data is outputted (812) to the user.
