Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional document generation techniques are labor-intensive and time-consuming, as users manually set design styles for each component of a new document, limiting the ability to apply desired visual characteristics and restricting design options to predetermined templates.

Innovation Solution

A document generation system that identifies a recommended fragment by computing a reward function based on correlation values between style elements in historical document fragments, allowing for the automatic generation of modified document fragments with visually harmonious style elements, thereby reducing the need for manual template application and increasing design flexibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates modified document fragments by selecting style elements based on correlation values computed from historical document fragments, eliminating the need for manual template application while maintaining design flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-computes correlation values between style elements from historical document fragments and stores them for rapid retrieval and use in generating modified document fragments, enabling quick and efficient document generation without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If manual style setting for each component is performed, then design customization is achieved, but the process becomes labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual style settingVSAvoidlabor-intensive process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects and applies style elements to document fragments based on computed correlation values, replacing manual style setting operations while maintaining customization capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

AI summary

Systems and methods for document generation are provided. One aspect of the systems and methods includes identifying, by a style extractor, a document fragment comprising a first style element of a first style category; computing, by a style generator, a reward function based on a correlation value between the first style element and a second style element of a second style category different from the first style category, wherein the correlation value is based on correlations between style elements in a plurality of historical document fragments; selecting, by the style generator, the second style element based on the reward function; and generating, by a document generator, a modified document fragment that includes the first style element of the first style category and the second style element of the second style category.
