Solution Overview

Problem

Conversational systems often provide limited and unengaging responses to search queries, typically consisting of simple acknowledgments or text-to-speech conversions of search results, failing to incorporate engaging dialogue relevant to the user.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods for inserting dialogue metadata into query responses, utilizing natural language processing to identify and integrate relevant portions of dialogue from content items based on query types, parts of speech, and grammatical compatibility, and modifying dialogue as necessary to ensure grammatical correctness and relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If simple acknowledgments or text-to-speech conversions of search results are used, then the system operation is simple, but the user engagement is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoiduser engagement quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The response generation process is segmented into multiple components: selecting relevant dialogue portions, determining insertion positions, and integrating dialogue excerpts with search results. This allows the system to maintain operational simplicity while enhancing engagement through structured multi-step processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Dialogue portions are pre-processed and stored with metadata including grammatical information and insertion position indicators. This preliminary preparation enables the system to quickly integrate engaging dialogue into responses without complex real-time processing, maintaining operational simplicity while improving engagement quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If dialogue portions are inserted into responses without modification, then the insertion process is simple, but the grammatical correctness may be poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsertion process complexityVSAvoidgrammatical correctness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system modifies dialogue portions by changing grammatical parameters such as pronoun person (first person to third person), tense, and number to match the response context. This ensures grammatical correctness while maintaining a relatively simple insertion process through automated parameter adjustment based on metadata.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If extensive dialogue metadata processing is performed, then the dialogue relevance is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedialogue relevanceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Dialogue metadata including grammatical information, insertion position indicators, and relevance tags are pre-computed and stored during dialogue collection. This preliminary action reduces real-time processing requirements, allowing the system to quickly retrieve and insert relevant dialogue portions without extensive processing during query response generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the essential metadata fields needed for relevance determination and insertion (such as part of speech, insertion position, and brevity indicators) rather than processing all available dialogue information. This selective extraction maintains dialogue relevance while minimizing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Methods and systems are provided for dynamically generating responses to user queries based on excerpts from creative works such as movies, books, plays, and videos. Upon receiving a query, a determination is made whether the query relates to a specific content item and related excerpts or famous lines from that content item are identified. The response is analyzed with natural language processing to ensure grammatical correctness. Excerpts such as greetings, character-specific content, or famous expressions are inserted at appropriate positions within the response.
