Solution Overview

Problem

Existing writing tools fail to effectively assist users in conveying their thoughts concisely and engagingly, particularly in social media and document writing, and lack support for multimedia content integration.

Innovation Solution

A system applies tailored textual effects to image captions using a large language model, allowing users to select from various styles such as humorous, poetic, or Shakespearean, and generates alternative captions based on user input and image metadata.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing writing tools are used, then grammar checking is provided, but they fail to help users effectively communicate ideas concisely and engagingly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewriting effectivenessVSAvoidcommunication style flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of text generation by applying different stylistic filters (humorous, poetic, Shakespearean, formal, paraphrase) to transform the same input text into different output versions, enabling versatile communication styles while maintaining ease of operation through automated processing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If writing tools focus on grammar checking, then writing accuracy is improved, but they cannot provide recommendations involving multimedia content

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewriting accuracyVSAvoidmultimedia integration capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves multi-functionality by integrating both grammar checking capabilities and multimedia content generation into a single platform, allowing users to receive recommendations that encompass both textual accuracy and multimedia integration in one unified tool

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple textual variations are generated, then content diversity is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecaption style varietyVSAvoidtext generation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by pre-defining and pre-training multiple stylistic filters before user interaction, allowing rapid generation of multiple textual variations without requiring real-time computation for style creation, thus reducing processing time while maintaining content diversity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The technology relates to applying specific (tailored) effects to captions for images. The text used to describe an image can be paraphrased or recast in a particular style based on an effect selected by a user. For instance, the user may create a baseline caption for an image on a social media feed. The process may include the system identifying an initial text caption associated with an image presented in a graphical user interface of an application and determining a filter effect to be applied to the initial text caption. The process can then apply the filter effect to a trained large language model to generate one or more textual variations of the initial text caption. Then the process may transmit the one or more textual variations for display along with the image, wherein the one or more textual variations are configured to replace display of the initial text caption.
