Solution Overview

Problem

Existing approaches for generating cascaded text formats rely heavily on human-authored rules, which are time-consuming and inefficient for scalable applications, especially in real-time processing of diverse syntactic structures and languages, limiting their scalability and adaptability in digital publishing and user interface displays.

Innovation Solution

The use of machine learning algorithms to automatically learn and generate syntactical rules for cascaded text formatting, enabling the creation of cascaded displays through natural language processing, which includes syntax analysis, part-of-speech identification, and dependency parsing, allowing for automatic handling of unfamiliar and erroneous inputs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If human-authored handwritten rules are used for cascaded text formatting, then the formatting can accommodate a large range of text and syntactical structures in theory, but the time and effort required to devise these rules presents a challenge to scalability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccommodation of text and syntactical structuresVSAvoidtime and effort to devise rules
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses machine learning models to automatically learn and generate syntactical rules for cascaded text formatting without requiring human authors to manually create these rules. The model processes text input and automatically determines the appropriate cascaded format based on learned patterns from training data, enabling self-service rule generation that scales to diverse languages and syntactic structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual rule authoring with an automated machine learning system. Instead of humans manually analyzing syntax and creating formatting rules, the system uses trained models to automatically perform syntax analysis, part-of-speech identification, and dependency parsing to generate cascaded text formats across multiple languages and syntactic structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of manufacture

If human-authored rules are used for cascaded text formatting, then manual control over formatting can be achieved, but this approach limits scalability for real-time processing of text from a wide variety of sources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual control over formattingVSAvoidreal-time processing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model automatically performs syntax analysis and generates cascaded formatting without requiring manual intervention for each text instance. The system processes text from diverse sources in real-time by applying learned patterns from training data, enabling scalable automated formatting that maintains consistency across different languages and syntactic structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal machine learning model that can handle multiple languages and syntactic structures through a single system. The model is trained on diverse training data encompassing various languages and text types, enabling it to automatically adapt to different source materials without requiring separate manual rule sets for each language or text type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Various examples of approaches for using and implementing cascaded text formatting within electronic publishing and display mediums are described herein. In an example, a method for analyzing and re-formatting a stream of text, includes: obtaining a stream of human-readable text in a natural language processing (NLP) parser to identify parts-of-speech and key phrases in a proper sentence; tagging the identified parts-of-speech according to the respective parts and key phrases; generating a text cascade arrangement for a display of the proper sentence by applying predefined rules to the part-of-speech and key phrases, where such a display of the proper sentence provides breaks and cascading, including indentations, according to the pre-defined rules; and outputting an electronic display of the proper sentence which includes the text cascade arrangement. Other examples of methods of converting text, formatting text, and displaying text, with such text cascade arrangements and related formats, are also disclosed.
