Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI-based avatar creation systems require users to manually tweak text prompts or upload multiple personal photos, consuming time and resources, and often limit style template selections, making them inefficient and inflexible.

Innovation Solution

A system using a multimodal model to automatically describe style and subject images in text, then rewrite these descriptions into a text-to-image model to generate avatars, allowing users to upload images directly for personalized avatars with desired styles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually tweak text prompts to generate avatars, then avatar generation is possible, but the process is time-consuming and frustrating

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of avatar creationVSAvoidtime for prompt tweaking
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates text prompts from uploaded images using AI models, eliminating the need for users to manually craft prompts. The image-to-text conversion model autonomously creates detailed prompt descriptions based on the uploaded image content, style, and composition, making the avatar creation process self-service and time-efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical prompt editing with automated AI-based image-to-text conversion. Instead of users mechanically typing and adjusting text prompts, the system uses neural networks to automatically transcribe image content into descriptive text prompts, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated intelligent processing.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If users upload multiple personal photos to train AI model, then avatar customization is improved, but resource consumption and time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar customization capabilityVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts essential avatar characteristics from a single uploaded image rather than requiring multiple photos for training. By using advanced image analysis and style transfer models, the system extracts and processes only the necessary visual information from one image to generate customized avatars, eliminating the need for extensive photo libraries and long training periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary image analysis and feature extraction automatically when the user uploads a single photo. The AI model pre-processes the image to identify key facial features, body characteristics, and style elements before avatar generation begins, so that when the user requests avatar creation, the necessary data preparation is already complete, eliminating the need for time-consuming training phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If AI avatar creators use fixed style templates, then generation speed is improved, but style diversity and user choice are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar generation speedVSAvoidstyle template selection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically generates style descriptions from uploaded images rather than relying on fixed static templates. The image-to-text conversion model analyzes the uploaded image and generates adaptive style prompts in real-time, allowing the style selection to be dynamic and user-specific rather than fixed and pre-defined, thus maintaining both speed and diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the style parameters by extracting visual style characteristics from the uploaded image itself rather than selecting from predetermined template parameters. The AI model analyzes color palettes, brushstroke styles, lighting conditions, and compositional elements from the user's image and translates these into generation parameters, allowing continuous variation in style rather than discrete template selections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A data processing system implements receiving a style request including a style image and image(s) of subject(s) for generating an avatar for the subject(s); constructing a first prompt by appending the style request and the image(s) to a first instruction string, the first instruction string including instructions to a multimodal model to generate a textual description of the subject(s) from the image(s), to generate a textual description of a style from the style image, and to construct a second prompt including instructions to a text-to-image model to create the avatar for the subject(s) in the style based on the textual descriptions; providing the first prompt to the multimodal model and receiving the second prompt; providing the second prompt to the text-to-image model and receiving the avatar; providing the avatar to the client device; and causing the user interface of the client device to display the avatar.
