Design Analysis Component for Brand Compliance Diagnostics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current design creation and publishing tools lack effective analysis capabilities to identify and prevent design errors or inconsistencies, placing a significant cognitive burden on users and potentially stifling creativity through restrictive design options.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a design analysis component that applies predefined rules to analyze design elements and pages, providing diagnostics and suggestions for improvement while ensuring compliance with brand guidelines, thereby reducing user effort and enhancing design quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If design analysis capabilities are integrated into design creation tools, then design quality and compliance with brand guidelines are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a design analysis component that acts as an intermediary between the design creation tool and the design output. This component receives design data from the creation tool, analyzes it against brand guidelines and predefined rules, and provides diagnostics without requiring the core design tool to become significantly more complex. The analysis component can function as a separate module or service, isolating complexity while improving design quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The design analysis functionality is segmented into distinct components: a design analysis component that processes design data, a set of predefined rules for analysis, and a diagnostic output mechanism. This segmentation allows the analysis capabilities to be added modularly without requiring a complete redesign of the design creation tool, thus improving reliability while managing system complexity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If restrictions on design options are imposed to ensure brand compliance, then design consistency is improved, but creativity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the design analysis component continuously monitors design elements against brand guidelines and provides real-time diagnostics. Instead of imposing hard restrictions that block creative options, the system provides guidance and suggestions that help users make compliant choices. This feedback approach maintains design consistency while preserving user creativity and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis by establishing predefined rules and brand guidelines before the design creation process begins. The analysis component is prepared with the necessary criteria to evaluate designs as they are created, allowing users to work freely within creative boundaries while automatically ensuring compliance. This preliminary preparation enables consistency without restricting creativity during the actual design process.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer implemented method includes displaying a design creation user interface operable by a user to create or edit a design document comprising a plurality of design elements. Data identifying each of the plurality of design elements and data identifying attributes of the plurality of design elements is maintained. A processor determines, based on the attributes, that at least one rule with an associated diagnostic is invoked and indicia is displayed corresponding to the diagnostic associated with the at least one rule.
