Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic games often fail to maintain a persistent performance and relevance with current trends due to the high cost and inefficiency of manually updating content to match pop culture changes.

Innovation Solution

An AI-driven system that collects information from various sources to identify trending topics and automatically updates game content, including graphics, animations, and audio, using a diffusion model trained on current events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual updates are used to match pop culture trends, then game content relevance is improved, but cost and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame content relevanceVSAvoidupdate time consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-updating of game content by monitoring social media platforms, identifying trending topics, and generating relevant content elements without human intervention. The automated pipeline collects data from multiple sources, processes it through AI models, and applies updates to game themes, characters, and narratives autonomously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of content creation and updating with an automated AI-driven system. Machine learning models analyze social media trends and generate game content automatically, substituting human creators and editors with computational algorithms that operate continuously without fatigue or delay.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual updates are used to match pop culture trends, then game content relevance is improved, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame content relevanceVSAvoidupdate cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-updating of game content by monitoring social media platforms, identifying trending topics, and generating relevant content elements without human intervention. The automated pipeline collects data from multiple sources, processes it through AI models, and applies updates to game themes, characters, and narratives autonomously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of content creation and updating with an automated AI-driven system. Machine learning models analyze social media trends and generate game content automatically, substituting human creators and editors with computational algorithms that operate continuously without fatigue or delay.

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

3Productivity

If automatic updates using AI models are implemented, then update speed and cost-efficiency are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveupdate speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: social media data collection from multiple platforms, trend topic identification through NLP, AI model training and inference, content generation, and game asset integration. Each module operates independently with defined interfaces, allowing parallel processing and easier maintenance despite overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Measurement precision

If continuous monitoring of multiple information sources is performed, then trend identification accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrend identification accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal NLP-based topic identification model that processes diverse data types from multiple social media platforms uniformly. The same computational framework handles text posts, comments, and metadata across different platforms, extracting trending topics through standardized linguistic analysis rather than platform-specific processing.

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

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to updating an electronic game. More specifically, embodiments described herein comprise an Artificial Intelligence (AI) module that constantly monitors social and other media, e.g., Instagram, Facebook feeds etc., then identifies pop culture topics and elements that are going to attract most of our game players' attention. The system can then apply content elements related to the identified topics to the electronic game. The electronic game thus changes to the new content so the players can enjoy newly designed games all the time.
