Wearable Exercise Posture Evaluation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a wearable device and electronic system that effectively evaluates and provides feedback on a user's exercise posture, particularly for individuals with reduced muscular strength or joint problems due to aging or other conditions, to assist in walking and exercising while improving physical ability and gait.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device with sensors and a connected electronic device that receives user input for exercise programs, determines exercise posture measurement values, and displays graphical user interface (GUI) feedback, including visual guides and indicators to correct posture, enhancing physical ability measurement and exercise assistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a wearable device with sensors is used to measure exercise posture, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the measurement function between the wearable device (which collects sensor data) and the electronic device (which processes and evaluates posture). This segmentation allows the wearable device to remain relatively simple while achieving precise measurement through coordinated processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device acts as an intermediary that receives sensor data from the wearable device, processes the movement information, and generates posture evaluation results. This intermediary processing enables precise measurement without requiring the wearable device itself to be overly complex.
2Productivity
If real-time feedback is provided through visual guides, then exercise effectiveness is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback at periodic intervals rather than continuously, updating the visual guide object based on evaluated posture data. This periodic feedback maintains exercise effectiveness while reducing energy consumption compared to continuous real-time display updates.
3Loss of information
If multiple indicators are displayed for posture evaluation, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays multiple posture indicators in a two-dimensional visual guide object on the display device, organizing comprehensive posture information spatially rather than through complex hierarchical menus or additional hardware components.

AI summary
An electronic device and a wearable device providing exercise posture evaluation information, and operation methods thereof are disclosed. The electronic device includes: an input module configured to receive a user input that selects an exercise program to be performed by a user wearing the wearable device; a communication module configured to receive, from the wearable device, sensor data including movement information of the user during an exercise performed by the user according to the selected exercise program; a processor configured to determine an exercise posture measurement value of the user based on the sensor data, and generate a first visual guide object including a first indicator indicating an exercise posture reference for the selected exercise program and at least one second indicator indicating the exercise posture measurement value; and a display module configured to output a graphical user interface (GUI) on which the first visual guide object is displayed.
