Design Management Apparatus Using Subject Score Calculation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current design management systems for creating flyers, advertisements, direct mails, posters, and catalogs lack an efficient method to select and display templates that effectively represent the intended subject, often requiring users to manually search through numerous options.
Innovation Solution
A design management apparatus that calculates a score for each character string in a template based on font size, allowing for the automatic selection and display of templates with character strings that best represent the intended subject, using a subject score calculation unit and template search unit to provide templates matching user input search subjects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple templates are provided for users to select, then design options and versatility are improved, but template selection complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The template management apparatus automatically calculates subject scores and performs template selection without requiring user intervention. The system self-evaluates templates based on character string analysis and automatically ranks them, enabling the system to serve itself in the template selection process rather than relying on manual user evaluation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a quantitative parameter (subject score) to evaluate template quality. By calculating scores based on character string properties like font size, the system transforms the subjective template selection process into an objective parameter-based ranking system, allowing templates to be automatically sorted and selected based on numerical criteria.
2Productivity
If template selection is automated, then operation efficiency is improved, but selection accuracy may deteriorate without proper evaluation criteria
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual template evaluation (mechanical human judgment) with an automated calculation system. The subject score calculation unit uses algorithmic processing to evaluate templates based on objective criteria such as character string font sizes, substituting human subjective assessment with systematic computational evaluation.
Solution Approach 2:
The subject score acts as an intermediary metric between the template characteristics and the final selection decision. Rather than directly comparing templates or relying on subjective user preference, the system uses the calculated subject score as an intermediate evaluation layer that objectively represents template quality based on character string prominence.
3Measurement precision
If character string size is used to determine subject importance, then subject identification accuracy is improved, but design flexibility may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different evaluation weights to different parts of the template based on local characteristics. Specifically, character strings with larger font sizes receive higher subject scores, creating local quality variations in the evaluation process where prominent text elements are identified as the subject while other elements are evaluated differently.

AI summary
A design management apparatus is provided for presenting a template used to create a design. The design management apparatus may include a calculator that receives multiple templates having multiple character strings as predetermined samples and calculates a score for each character string in each template, where the score concerns a subject of the template and corresponds to a size of the character string. Moreover, the design management apparatus may receive information indicating a search subject to output the template including the character string which corresponds to the search subject and the score of which meets an output condition.
