Solution Overview

Problem

Users are confined to stock stickers provided by platforms and face challenges in finding suitable stickers, and creating custom stickers requires artistic talent and is time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A data processing system utilizing generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to generate custom sticker packs based on user input, combined with post-processing techniques like image segmentation and filtering to produce a completed pack of stickers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users rely on stock stickers provided by platforms, then they have access to pre-designed sticker packs, but they cannot create personalized or unique sticker packs that match their specific needs or artistic vision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidcreation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to create custom sticker packs through an automated AI-driven process. Users simply input text descriptions of their desired stickers, and the system automatically generates images, segments them into individual stickers, and delivers a completed custom sticker pack without requiring users to manually create artwork or navigate complex design tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually create custom stickers, then they can achieve unique and personalized designs, but it requires artistic talent and significant time investment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoidcreation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the manual artistic creation process with an automated AI-based image generation system. Instead of requiring users to manually draw or design stickers using artistic skills, the system uses generative AI models to automatically create sticker images from text descriptions, dramatically reducing both the time required and the need for artistic talent.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an AI-based intermediary between the user's text description and the final sticker image. This intermediary (the image generation model) translates user intent expressed in text into visual sticker designs, eliminating the need for users to directly create artwork while still achieving personalized results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If users browse through platform sticker libraries, then they can find existing sticker packs, but they face challenges in finding suitable stickers that match their specific needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesticker accessibilityVSAvoidsticker suitability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows users to obtain perfectly suited stickers by automatically generating custom sticker packs based on their specific needs and preferences. Users simply describe what they want in text, and the system delivers customized sticker packs tailored to their requirements, eliminating the need to search through generic platform libraries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A data processing system includes a processor; and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor alone or in combination with other processors, cause the data processing system to perform functions of: receiving user input in text form describing a sticker pack a user wants to generate, a user interface prompting the user to enter the user input; generating a prompt using the user input and a prompt template that is specific to sticker pack generation; submitting the prompt to a generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to generate an image for the sticker pack; and segmenting and filtering the image from the GAI with a post-processing system to produce a completed pack of stickers usable by the user.
