Solution Overview

Problem

Existing unified markup modeling languages (UMMLs) lack the capability to represent standardized visualizations of end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI) architectures, leading to inconsistent visualizations that hinder the provision of AI architectures to people with visual disabilities.

Innovation Solution

A system that converts unstandardized AI architecture diagrams into braille language diagrams by generating vectors representing the architecture components, functions, and connections, and applying standardized features to represent these elements in braille symbols, enabling unified and standardized visualizations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If unstandardized AI architecture diagrams are used, then flexibility in representation is maintained, but visualization consistency and accessibility for people with visual disabilities deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in representationVSAvoidvisualization consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms unstandardized AI architecture diagrams into standardized representations by changing key parameters including visual elements (shapes, colors, sizes) into consistent Braille-coded symbols. This parameter transformation maintains the original diagram's information content while achieving visualization consistency through standardized Braille notation for all architectural components and their relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If unstandardized AI architecture diagrams are used, then representation flexibility is maintained, but accessibility for people with visual disabilities deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverepresentation flexibilityVSAvoidaccessibility for visually impaired
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces Braille language as an intermediary medium between visual AI architecture diagrams and people with visual disabilities. The system converts visual diagram elements (nodes, edges, shapes, colors) into corresponding Braille symbols and tactile representations, enabling visually impaired users to access and understand AI architecture information through touch and Braille reading.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If standardized visualization is implemented, then visualization consistency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisualization consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI architecture diagram into discrete standardized elements (input nodes, output nodes, processing layers, connections) and assigns specific Braille symbols to each segment type. This segmentation approach enables systematic conversion of complex diagrams into structured Braille representations, managing system complexity through modular element classification and standardized symbol assignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
