Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions for lock screen customization on user devices fail to adequately reflect a user's individual taste and context, limiting the ability to enhance user experience through personalized, context-aware art displays.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for automatically generating avatars from user images using artificial intelligence, integrating user profiles with template profiles to create personalized and dynamic lock screen displays, influenced by factors such as location, time, weather, and user behavior.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional lock screen customization methods are used, then device functionality access is maintained, but user experience personalization is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates personalized avatars by processing user-uploaded images through AI models without requiring manual selection or configuration by the user. The processing unit autonomously performs image analysis, style transfer, and avatar generation, allowing the system to serve itself in creating personalized content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional manual image selection and customization interfaces with an AI-based automated system. Instead of users manually browsing and selecting images, an artificial intelligence model processes user photos and generates personalized avatars automatically, substituting mechanical user interaction with intelligent automation.

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

2Productivity

If static lock screen images are used, then device simplicity is maintained, but user engagement is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms static lock screen images into dynamic personalized avatars that adapt to user context. The avatars are generated based on user-uploaded images and can be dynamically created and updated, allowing the lock screen to evolve from a static display to an adaptive, personalized interface that responds to user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If AI-based avatar generation is implemented, then personalization is enhanced, but processing time is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization qualityVSAvoidavatar generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing by analyzing user-uploaded images and extracting relevant features before generating the final avatar. The processing unit prepares intermediate representations and style transfers in advance, reducing the time required for final avatar generation and allowing for optimized processing pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
