Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wearable electronic devices only provide the number of jump ropes during a jump rope exercise without offering guidance to improve the user's exercise habit, making it difficult for users to correct their rope jumping technique.

Innovation Solution

A wearable electronic device equipped with an acceleration sensor and processor that identifies the time of staying in the air or contacting the ground, providing guide information to help users adjust their jump rope exercise technique based on this data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the wearable electronic device only provides the number of jump ropes, then the device complexity is low, but the user cannot correct the rope jumping habit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehabit correction capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wearable electronic device analyzes acceleration data to identify jumping patterns and provides feedback information about staying time in air and contacting time on ground. This feedback mechanism enables users to understand and correct their jumping habits, resolving the contradiction between simple operation and habit correction capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex mechanical analysis equipment with a wearable electronic device that uses acceleration sensors and software algorithms to analyze jumping motion. This substitution achieves professional-grade motion analysis while maintaining device simplicity and wearability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If the wearable electronic device provides detailed guide information, then the measurement precision of exercise technique is improved, but the loss of information processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise technique measurement precisionVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant features from acceleration data - specifically staying time in air and contacting time on ground - to provide guidance information. This selective extraction achieves precise exercise technique measurement while minimizing information processing load by focusing on key metrics rather than analyzing all raw data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If the wearable electronic device analyzes acceleration data in real-time, then the productivity of exercise feedback is improved, but the use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback provision speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The wearable electronic device performs acceleration data analysis at periodic intervals during the jump rope exercise rather than continuously. This periodic processing provides timely feedback information while reducing overall energy consumption by processing data only when necessary, rather than maintaining constant analysis operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
