Solution Overview

Problem

The existing design tools require users to manually add the same content to multiple templates for comparison, which is repetitive, time-consuming, and prone to inconsistencies.

Innovation Solution

A system that allows users to generate a design based on a design template and another design, enabling automatic transfer of user-provided content to the new design when applying a different template, thus streamlining the design process and reducing inconsistencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually add content to multiple templates for comparison, then design template comparison is possible, but the process becomes repetitive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign template comparison capabilityVSAvoidtime for manual content addition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically preserving and transferring user-provided content to the new design when applying a different template. This eliminates the need for users to manually re-add content each time they switch templates, thereby reducing repetitive tasks and time consumption while maintaining design template comparison capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses copying by automatically transferring user-provided content from the original design to the new design generated with a different template. This allows users to compare multiple templates without manually recreating content, significantly reducing time loss while preserving adaptability for template comparison

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually add content to multiple templates, then template comparison can be performed, but inconsistencies occur in the process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign template comparison capabilityVSAvoidconsistency of content across templates
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically preserving and transferring user-provided content to the new design when applying a different template. This eliminates manual re-addition processes that cause inconsistencies, ensuring precise and consistent content across multiple template comparisons while maintaining the ability to compare different designs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If users select a template before adding content, then template selection is possible, but the process lacks flexibility when wanting to compare multiple templates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemplate selection processVSAvoidflexibility for comparing multiple templates
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies universality by enabling users to apply multiple different templates to the same design and automatically preserving content across all template applications. This multi-functional capability allows users to both select templates easily and compare multiple templates flexibly, as the system handles content preservation automatically regardless of which template is applied

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by preserving user-provided content before template application and automatically transferring it to the new design. This allows users to maintain flexibility for comparing multiple templates without compromising ease of operation, as the content preservation happens automatically in the background

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An apparatus includes a processor configured to receive, during editing of a first design, user input indicating that a first design element has a first content role. The processor is configured to generate a content signature of the first design indicating that the first design element has the first content role, to generate a second design based on a design template, and to update the second design by applying the content signature to the second design. Generating the second design includes, based on determining that the design template includes a second design element having the first content role, adding a third design element having the first content role to the second design. Applying the content signature to the second design includes transferring content from the first design element to the third design element. The processor is configured to generate a graphical user interface including an image of the second design.
