Design Format Conversion with Template Mapping and Layout Conflict Resolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer applications lack efficient methods for converting document-format designs into deck-format designs or vice versa, particularly in handling content transfer and layout adjustments while maintaining the integrity of the original content and layout.
Innovation Solution
The system employs analysis techniques to identify matching templates, generate pagination candidates, map content segments, resolve collisions, and adjust layout to transform document-format designs into deck-format designs, or vice versa, utilizing server-side and client-side applications to facilitate this conversion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If document-format design content is converted to deck-format design, then format versatility is improved, but content integrity and layout precision deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the conversion process into distinct phases: analysis of source design structure, identification of matching templates, generation of pagination candidates, mapping of content segments, collision detection and resolution, and final layout adjustment. This segmentation allows each phase to optimize for its specific task while preserving overall content integrity and layout precision across format transformations.
2Productivity
If automated conversion is implemented, then productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates multiple feedback mechanisms throughout the automated conversion process. Analysis data from the source design feeds into template matching, which feeds into pagination candidate generation. Collision detection provides feedback that triggers resolution actions, and layout adjustment uses feedback from content integrity checks. This feedback loop structure enables automated high-speed conversion while maintaining content integrity through continuous verification and correction.
3Ease of operation
If template matching is used, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-analyzing the source design structure and pre-identifying matching templates before the actual conversion takes place. This preliminary analysis phase prepares all necessary data and candidate solutions in advance, simplifying the user's interaction while the system handles the complex template matching and candidate generation processes automatically in the background.
4Adaptability or versatility
If content mapping is performed, then adaptability is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces traditional mechanical content transfer methods with intelligent mapping algorithms that analyze semantic relationships between source and destination formats. Instead of simple copy-paste operations, the system uses analysis data to intelligently map content segments, preserving structural relationships and semantic meaning while adapting to the target format's requirements, thereby reducing information loss during format conversion.
Data Source
AI summary
Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes accessing element data defining a set of elements, each element defining text content and being associated with a text hierarchy level and analysing the element data to determine that a first intra-hierarchy conflict exists. Determining that the first intra-hierarchy conflict exists includes identifying a first element that defines first text content and is associated with a first text hierarchy level, identifying a second element that defines second text content and is associated with the first text hierarchy level, and determining that a font size of the first text content is different to a font size of the second text content. The method further includes resolving the first intra-hierarchy conflict by reducing the font size of the first text content or the font size of the second text content.
