Solution Overview

Problem

Existing personal assessment systems face challenges in providing personalized and engaging user interfaces efficiently, particularly when incorporating animated avatars, due to high computational demands.

Innovation Solution

The system uses machine-learning techniques to generate and overlay animated avatars on static report pages, dynamically retrieving pre-generated avatar content from a video repository, reducing processing power and memory usage while ensuring synchronized speech with the report content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If animated avatars are incorporated into personalized user interfaces to enhance engagement, then user engagement and personalization are improved, but computational cost and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcomputational cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates avatar video content for different assessment scenarios and stores it in a video repository. When a user views their assessment report, the system retrieves pre-generated avatar videos that match the user's assessment results, eliminating the need for real-time avatar generation and significantly reducing computational costs while maintaining high user engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of generating unique avatar content for each user, the system creates multiple copies of pre-generated avatar videos that can be reused across different users and scenarios. The avatar content is stored as reusable video assets that can be dynamically selected and played back based on user-specific assessment results, reducing computational overhead while preserving personalization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If customized user interfaces with animated content are provided for each user, then personalization and engagement are improved, but processing power and memory usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidprocessing power
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

Avatar videos are pre-generated and stored in a repository before users view their assessment reports. The system prepares multiple avatar video variants corresponding to different assessment outcomes, enabling rapid retrieval and playback during user interaction without requiring intensive real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects and plays back appropriate pre-generated avatar videos based on user-specific assessment results. The personalization is achieved through dynamic content selection rather than dynamic content generation, allowing the interface to adapt to each user while maintaining computational efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If individualized avatar content is generated for each user based on assessment results, then personalization is improved, but time and computational resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveindividualizationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates avatar videos for various assessment scenarios and stores them in a repository. When users view their reports, the system quickly retrieves the appropriate pre-generated avatar content based on the user's assessment results, eliminating time-consuming real-time generation processes while maintaining individualized content delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure generally relates to methods for generating and presenting a user-specific personal assessment report. The methods include receiving, from a user, a plurality of answers corresponding to a plurality of questions in a personal assessment questionnaire, generating, based on the answers, a user-specific personal assessment report including a plurality of static pages, and displaying a user interface for presenting the user-specific personal assessment report, where the user interface includes a report region for displaying a page of the plurality of static pages and an avatar region for presenting a video of an avatar, wherein the avatar is configured to be partially overlaid on the report region. The method further includes receiving the user input initiating playback of the user interface, and initiating playback of the video of the avatar providing speech in the avatar region, wherein the speech of the avatar comprises an audio paraphrase of the page.
