Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic devices lack the capability to effectively analyze and provide descriptive insights into user workout records, failing to offer meaningful data analysis and reward systems that motivate users to maintain a consistent workout routine.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a sensor circuit, processor, and memory that classifies workout data into sections, compares them, and provides descriptive information, along with a reward system based on user performance, to enhance user engagement and understanding of their workout progress.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If workout data is collected and stored without analysis, then data quantity increases, but data usefulness and user insight remain insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkout data usefulnessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides workout data into multiple sections based on different criteria (time intervals, intensity levels, activity types). This segmentation transforms raw data into structured, analyzable units that can be processed more effectively, resolving the contradiction between data quantity and data usefulness by making the data systematically organized rather than merely accumulated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback by comparing workout sections with each other and generating descriptive information about performance. This feedback mechanism converts raw data into actionable insights, addressing the information loss problem by ensuring that collected data actually contributes to user understanding and improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If detailed workout analysis is provided, then user insight improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkout insightVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting workout data into manageable sections, the system can process and analyze smaller units independently and more efficiently. This reduces the computational burden compared to analyzing entire workout sessions at once, thereby decreasing processing time while still providing comprehensive insights through the aggregation of section-level analyses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent selects specific sections for detailed comparison and analysis rather than processing every single data point uniformly. This partial action approach focuses computational resources on the most meaningful segments, providing sufficient user insight without the excessive processing time that would result from exhaustive analysis of all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If workout data is divided into multiple sections for analysis, then analysis precision improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkout analysis precisionVSAvoiddata classification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The segmentation principle is applied to divide workout data into distinct sections based on meaningful criteria. This creates a structured framework that improves analysis precision by allowing focused comparison of specific segments, while the segmentation rules themselves provide a manageable complexity level through clear classification criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs universal classification criteria that can be applied across different types of workout data and users. This multi-functional approach allows the same segmentation and comparison logic to work for various workout scenarios, reducing system complexity by avoiding the need for specialized processing rules for each situation while maintaining high analysis precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
