Customized Storytelling GUI with AI Voice Models

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI-driven storytelling solutions for children are generic and lack the ability to adapt to individual preferences, interests, and developmental needs, failing to provide personalized and interactive experiences.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize AI-driven voice models to create customized audio-narrated stories for children, allowing users to create listener and reader profiles, generate stories based on listener profiles, and apply reader voice models to create an immersive storytelling experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AI-driven voice models are used to create personalized stories, then the adaptability to individual preferences improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the storytelling process into separate modules: listener profile creation, story generation, voice model application, and audio output. Each module handles a specific function independently, making the overall complex system manageable and scalable while maintaining high personalization capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components such as the voice model engine and story generation algorithm that act as mediators between the user inputs (listener profiles) and the final output (customized audio stories). These intermediaries simplify the relationship between complex components and make the system easier to operate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If voice models are applied to generated stories, then the interactivity and engagement improve, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows users to adjust voice parameters such as pitch, speed, and tone when applying voice models to stories. This flexibility enables fine-tuning of the audio output to match desired characteristics without requiring extremely high manufacturing precision, while still achieving engaging and interactive storytelling experiences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems and methods are described herein for an application and graphical user interface (“GUI”) for customized storytelling. In an example, a user can create profiles for a listener user and a reader user. The listener user profile can include information about the listener user. The reader user profile can include a voice model of the reader user's voice. The GUI can allow the user to provide a brief description of a story. The application can send the story description and listener user profile to a server that uses an artificial intelligence engine to generate a customized story for the listener user. The application can apply the reader user voice model to the story and play audio of the reader user's voice reading the story.
