Solution Overview

Problem

The current process of designing uniquely styled Chinese characters is costly and inefficient, as it requires significant time, material, and human effort, and often results in fonts that do not accurately match the expected style.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating characters that involve obtaining a character to be displayed and a target style type, converting the character into a target character using a style type conversion model, and displaying the target character on an interface. The conversion can be done either in advance or in real-time based on the model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual design and repeated modification by professional designers is used, then character style can be adjusted, but time cost and human cost become huge

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacter style accuracyVSAvoiddesign time cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical design process with an automated system comprising a character recognition module, feature extraction module, and character generation module. The system automatically converts input characters into target style characters through computational processing, eliminating the need for repeated manual modification while maintaining style accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts key style features from template characters and uses these parameters to transform input characters. By changing the style parameters (such as stroke patterns, structural features) through the generation module, the system efficiently produces characters in the desired style without time-consuming manual adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If manual design and repeated modification by professional designers is used, then character style can be adjusted, but material cost and human cost become huge

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacter style accuracyVSAvoiddesign cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive manual design work with an automated computational system. The character generation module uses extracted style parameters to automatically create target style characters, eliminating the need for professional designers and reducing material costs associated with manual design processes.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a digital template library containing style features of various template characters. These templates serve as reusable patterns that can be applied to generate multiple characters in the same style, reducing the need for repeated design work and lowering overall production costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual design is used, then character can be modified, but inability to accurately obtain expected font occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacter modification capabilityVSAvoidfont style accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts precise style parameters from template characters and applies these parameters systematically through the generation module. This parameter-based approach ensures that the generated characters accurately match the target style, overcoming the imprecision of manual design while maintaining full adaptability for different character styles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the template character as a reference standard, continuously comparing and adjusting the generated character's style parameters to match the template. This feedback mechanism ensures that the output character accurately reflects the expected font style, eliminating the uncertainty of manual design outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
