Solution Overview

Problem

Current meme generation tools require users to manually select images and add text, making the process inefficient and resource-intensive, with limited assistance in creating accurate and relevant memes.

Innovation Solution

A novel framework that automatically generates and recommends memes by detecting user input text and compiling relevant images and text overlays, leveraging deep learning algorithms for text and image embeddings to streamline the meme creation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual meme generation tools are used, then users can create memes with text and images, but the process requires significant user effort and time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememe generation processVSAvoidtime required for meme creation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates memes by detecting user input text and autonomously selecting appropriate images and composing the final meme, eliminating the need for manual image selection and text overlay operations that previously required significant user time and effort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and analyzes user input text to identify key concepts and emotions, then automatically retrieves and matches appropriate meme images from a database before final composition, performing all necessary actions before the user needs the final meme

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If conventional meme generation systems are used, then memes can be created, but computational resources and complexity are significantly required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememe generation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The meme generation system is divided into distinct modular components: text detection module, image selection module, and meme composition module, allowing each component to be optimized independently and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary text analysis layer that processes user input and generates semantic representations, which then guide the image selection process, reducing the complexity of directly mapping raw text to appropriate images

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that automatically generates and recommends Internet memes for inclusion within electronically communicated messages. As a user is drafting a message, the input text of the drafted message is analyzed and a set of Internet (or visual) memes are compiled and presented to the user within the drafting interface. Upon selection of at least one of the memes, the message is modified by automatically removing the text from the message and replacing the now removed text with the selected meme.
