Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in conveniently and efficiently ideating styles for creating and shaping content using existing productivity tools.

Innovation Solution

A generative style tool utilizing generative large language models, transformer models, or multi-modal models to determine and generate user interface elements that represent applicable styles for content based on context and user preferences, allowing users to select and apply these styles to transform content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually ideate styles for content creation using existing productivity tools, then content can be created and edited, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent creation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for style ideation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically generating multiple style options and presenting them to users before content creation begins. The generative model pre-computes style suggestions based on the content and context, eliminating the need for users to manually ideate styles during the creation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the generative model to autonomously generate and refine style options without requiring manual user input. The model automatically analyzes content, generates style candidates, and presents refined options to users, making the style ideation process autonomous and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If users manually ideate and select styles for content, then content can be shaped according to user preferences, but the process lacks convenience and user-friendly interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestyle selection convenienceVSAvoidcomplexity of style ideation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary by implementing a user interface that acts as a mediator between the complex generative model and the user. The UI presents style options in an accessible format, allowing users to easily select and refine styles without directly interacting with the underlying complex model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by allowing users to refine generated styles through simple modifications. Users can adjust style parameters or provide feedback to refine the output, making the style selection process flexible and easy to control without requiring deep technical knowledge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Extent of automation

If generative models are used to generate style options, then style ideation becomes automated and efficient, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of style generationVSAvoidcomplexity of generative model system
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by implementing a multi-functional architecture where a single generative model handles multiple tasks: analyzing content, generating style options, and refining styles based on user feedback. This consolidates multiple functions into one system, reducing overall complexity while maintaining high automation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies dynamics by implementing an iterative refinement process where the generative model dynamically adjusts style options based on user interactions. The model can generate initial styles, receive user feedback, and automatically refine the output in subsequent iterations, adapting to user preferences in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Systems and methods for content shaping using one or more generative styles are provided. In particular, a computing device may determine the one or more generative styles applicable to at least a portion of content based on the content and the context associated with the content, the one or more generative styles representing one or more style features adapted to shape the at least a portion of the content, generate first user interface elements representing the one or more generative styles based on the content and the context associated with the content, receive a first generative style selected from the one or more generative styles via the first user interface elements, apply the selected generative style to a selected portion of the content, and cause a display of the content transformed based on the selected generative style.
