Solution Overview

Problem

Existing social networking platforms lack an efficient method to convert text-based content into visually engaging content, especially when hash tags are present, potentially losing important text information during the conversion process.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect hash tags in content, remove them to acquire text information, select appropriate images based on user, advertiser, time, or location information, and generate second-type content by performing image processing to display text and images in a visually appealing manner, while ensuring that the hash tag is also displayed appropriately, and if significant text information is lost, revert to posting the original content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If text-based content is converted into image-based content, then visual engagement is improved, but text information may be lost during conversion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual engagementVSAvoidtext information
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts text information from the original text-based content before conversion to image format. The text extraction module separates text data from the content, allowing it to be preserved and later integrated into the generated image content, thus preventing information loss during the conversion process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges extracted text information with selected image content to create integrated visual content. The text is overlaid or combined with relevant images, ensuring both visual engagement and preservation of original text information in the final converted content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If hash tags are removed from content during conversion, then text information is preserved, but hash tag visibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext information preservationVSAvoidhash tag visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an intermediary approach by separating hash tags from the main content during text extraction, then re-introducing them as overlays or annotations on the generated image content. This mediator process ensures hash tags are preserved in the visual output without interfering with the text-to-image conversion process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Illumination intensity

If image processing is performed to display text over images, then visual engagement is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual engagementVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing text extraction and image selection before the actual image generation. Candidate images are pre-selected based on relevance to the content, and text is extracted and prepared in advance, reducing the complexity of the final image composition process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for posting content, the method including posting, when a predetermined hash tag is detected from first type content for which a posting request is sent, second type content generated based on text information acquired from the first type content and image information acquired from a database, and posting the first type content when the hash tag is not detected.
