Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in creating custom product designs as they spend time deciding on designs and selecting materials, and existing technologies do not effectively recommend product designs based on user preferences.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and method that extracts parameters from user-selected content and related information to generate and present article designs, reducing user burden by automating the design process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users create designs by selecting and combining parts themselves, then originality and personal preference are reflected, but time consumption and user burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedesign originalityVSAvoidtime to decide design and select materials

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic design generation by analyzing user-selected content (images, music, text) and autonomously creating article designs without requiring manual part selection or combination by the user. The extraction unit automatically extracts parameters from user content, and the generation unit automatically generates designs based on these parameters, making the system self-sufficient in the design creation process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually select and combine parts to create designs, then customization according to personal preference is achieved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoiduser burden in design creation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of selecting and combining design parts with an automated information processing system. The extraction unit processes user content (images, music, text) to extract design parameters, and the generation unit automatically generates designs based on these parameters, substituting the manual mechanical operation with automated computational processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of information

If existing recommendation technologies analyze content similarity, then content-based recommendations are provided, but product design recommendation capability is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent analysis capabilityVSAvoidproduct design recommendation

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the design generation process into distinct functional units: an extraction unit that separates and extracts parameters from user content (images, music, text), and a generation unit that synthesizes designs based on extracted parameters. This segmentation allows the system to handle different content types independently while integrating them into a unified design output, enabling product design recommendation capability that builds upon existing content analysis technologies.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
