Avatar Body Shape Adjustment via Social Chat Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing body shape management systems fail to effectively encourage users to improve their body shapes by lacking interactive and motivational elements that leverage social support and feedback.
Innovation Solution
A body shape management system that posts avatars representing users' future body shapes in chat rooms, extracts encouraging messages, and adjusts the avatars' future body shapes based on the content of these messages to create a sense of social cheer and motivation, thereby encouraging users to improve their body shapes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a body shape management system displays only static prediction information, then the system structure remains simple, but user motivation and engagement are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the static avatar display into a dynamic one that automatically adjusts in response to user interactions. When other users post encouraging messages, the avatar's body shape visually changes to reflect progress toward the target shape. This dynamic response mechanism maintains relatively simple system structure while significantly enhancing user motivation and engagement through real-time visual feedback.
2Productivity
If the system integrates social interaction features like chat rooms and message extraction, then user engagement increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the universality principle by designing a chat room system that serves multiple functions simultaneously: it enables social interaction among users, provides a platform for posting encouraging messages, and acts as a feedback mechanism that triggers avatar adjustments. This multi-functional approach increases user engagement while avoiding the need for separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby controlling overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies the self-service principle through automated message extraction and avatar adjustment mechanisms. The system automatically extracts encouraging messages from chat room communications, analyzes them for positive content, and triggers corresponding avatar changes without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces the operational complexity that would otherwise be required to manage social interactions and feedback processing.
3Productivity
If the system provides detailed visual feedback through avatar adjustments, then user motivation improves, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by selectively identifying and processing only the relevant portions of user messages that contain encouragement or positive feedback. The system extracts specific keywords and phrases from chat room communications that indicate motivational content, rather than processing entire messages or all user interactions. This selective extraction reduces information processing requirements while maintaining effective visual feedback through avatar adjustments.

AI summary
A body shape management system includes: an avatar output unit configured to post an avatar representing a future body shape of a first user in a chat room in association with a message posted by the first user in the chat room, the future body shape of the first user being his/her body shape expected after a lapse of a set period; an extraction unit configured to extract a message containing a predetermined content from a message posted for the first user by a second user different from the first user; and an avatar adjustment unit configured to change the future body shape of the avatar of the first user according to the content of the message extracted by the extraction unit.
