Solution Overview

Problem

Existing virtual character models lack interoperability and flexibility in recreating well-defined archetypes, such as known individuals or fictional personalities, limiting their adaptability across different applications and platforms, and struggle to authentically emulate the behavior, expressions, and distinctive features associated with recognized characters.

Innovation Solution

An archetype-based generation system for AI characters that receives keywords to select an archetype, acquires parameters corresponding to features, and assigns values based on retrieved information from data sources, allowing for the creation of AI characters resembling known or fictional characters within a virtual environment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If virtual character models are created based on specific rules and logic, then the character creation process is structured and controllable, but the flexibility and authenticity in emulating recognized archetypes is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacter creation controlVSAvoidarchetype emulation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms rigid rule-based character creation into a flexible parameter-driven system. By representing character traits as adjustable parameters that can be modified through keyword inputs, the system maintains structured control while enabling authentic emulation of recognized archetypes. The parameter adjustment mechanism allows dynamic customization of character features without abandoning the underlying rule framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces dynamic adaptability to the character creation process. Instead of static rules, the system dynamically adjusts character parameters based on user keywords and archetype selections. This dynamic approach enables the same base model to authentically represent different archetypes by adjusting parameters in real-time, bridging the gap between structured control and flexible emulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If virtual character models are confined to specific applications, then the character generation process is simplified, but the interoperability and adaptability across diverse environments is hindered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacter generation simplicityVSAvoidplatform interoperability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal character parameter framework that enables the same character generation system to operate across multiple applications and platforms. By defining a standardized set of parameters that can represent different character archetypes, the system achieves multi-functionality without sacrificing generation simplicity. The parameter-based approach serves as a universal language that translates user intent into platform-specific character implementations.

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

3Device complexity

If conventional virtual character models use fixed creation rules, then the development process is straightforward, but the ability to authentically capture the essence of well-known personalities is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreation process complexityVSAvoidcharacter essence accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system resolves the contradiction by introducing fine-grained parameter adjustments that enable precise characterization without increasing overall process complexity. Each character trait is represented by specific parameters that can be independently tuned, allowing authentic capture of well-known personalities' essences while maintaining a straightforward creation workflow. The parameter precision enables nuanced differentiation between similar archetypes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems and methods for archetype-based generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) characters are provided. An example method includes receiving at least one keyword describing an AI character, where the AI character is generated by an AI character model in a virtual environment; selecting, based on the at least one keyword, an archetype from a plurality of archetypes; acquiring at least one parameter of the AI character model, where the at least one parameter corresponds to at least one feature of the AI character; determining, based on the archetype, at least one value for the at least one parameter; and assigning the at least one value to the at least one parameter.
