Problems solved by technology

If the user does not have a deep understanding of the quantifiable non-subjective properties that the system uses to describe the prototype, the user may find it difficult, if not impossible, to use the system to manipulate the prototype as he desires

Embodiment Construction

[0027]Certain generalities regarding the device and method for machine updating of prototypes according to the invention will now be described, followed by a discussion of examples of specific applications of said prototype updating device and method.

[0028] In general, within the digital domain, digital objects or prototypes (or instances) of digital content can be objectively described in terms of "characteristics", each of which includes:

[0029] - data identifying measurable, non-subjective attributes of the object / content; and

[0030] - A number quantifying the value of that property of the object / content in question.

[0031] Thus, individual features can be represented as follows: .

[0032] The particular properties that are meaningful for a given application depend on the nature of the digital objects / content being processed. For example, in the case of an application involving music, relevant properties may include, for example: pitch of a note, average pitch o...

Abstract

An apparatus and method for machine-updating of prototypes - for example, during design of digital objects, or content-management - has input means (15) for inputting descriptive classifiers (tags) that a user assigns to prototypes and a tag model generator (20) that uses machine learning techniques to produce a model of the association between the assigned tags and the values of quantifiable, non-subjective attributes of the tagged prototypes. In order to obtain a desired updating of a current prototype, the user issues a command which defines the desired variation of the current prototype by referring to one or more conditions that should be met by specified tags of the updated prototype. The prototype-updating apparatus / method has a prototype updater (30) that identifies a suitable updated prototype whose tags meet the condition(s) specified in the user's command and which, globally, is fairly similar to the pre-update prototype. The user can, thus, express instructions for prototype-updating using his own terminology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to updating a prototype by a machine in response to instructions issued by a user. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for mechanically updating one or more attributes of a prototype in response to instructions expressed in ad hoc terms. Background technique [0002] A wide variety of applications exist in which a user may wish to modify properties of a prototype presented to him via a computer or other machine. for example: [0003] - graphic design software packages may allow users to generate drawings, colors or other image data by modifying aspects of prototype drawings, colors, etc.; [0004] - Music creation software may allow users to generate melodies, chords, sounds, sound loops, songs, mixes or other audio data by modifying aspects of the prototype melody, chord, song, etc.; [0005] - within the field of robotics, the commands given to the robot can be generated by modifying one ...
