Wearable-Mediated Exercise Content Switching on Mobile Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices and mobile devices face challenges in providing effective exercise guidance due to limited display areas, requiring manual manipulation to change exercise content and inadequate suitability for guiding exercise motions.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a wearable device and a mobile device that automatically provides exercise content corresponding to a user's motion by synchronizing exercise data, allowing seamless transitions between exercise sections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the wearable device is used to display exercise contents, then the device can be worn on the user for convenience, but the display area is too small to provide effective exercise guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise guidance system is divided into two segments: the wearable device for motion detection and the mobile device for content display. The wearable device captures exercise motion data while the mobile device displays detailed exercise contents, allowing each device to perform its optimal function without compromise
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable device acts as an intermediary between the user's physical motion and the mobile device's content display. It detects exercise motions and transmits this data to the mobile device, which then provides corresponding exercise guidance contents based on the detected motion state
2Adaptability or versatility
If the user manually changes exercise contents on the mobile device, then the user can control the exercise program, but this requires continuous manipulation during exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the user's exercise motion through the wearable device and autonomously determining which exercise content to display on the mobile device. This eliminates the need for manual intervention, as the system adapts the exercise program based on real-time motion detection
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where the wearable device monitors exercise motion in real-time, transmits this data to the mobile device, and the mobile device adjusts the displayed exercise contents accordingly. This closed-loop feedback enables automatic adaptation of the exercise program without user intervention
3Area of stationary object
If exercise contents are provided only on the mobile device, then large display area is available, but the user needs to manipulate the device to watch contents for different exercise motions
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device preliminarily detects and identifies the user's exercise motion in advance, determining which exercise content should be displayed before the user needs to view it. This preliminary detection allows the mobile device to have the correct content ready for immediate display, eliminating switching delays

AI summary
An electronic device includes a display, a communication circuit wirelessly communicating with a wearable device, a memory storing contents associated with exercise, and a processor electrically connected with the display, the communication circuit, and the memory. The processor is configured to obtain information about an exercise program including a first section and a second section, to output contents corresponding to the first section on the display, and, if data associated with the first section, that is obtained from the wearable device, satisfies a specified condition associated with the first section, to output contents corresponding to the second section on the display.
