Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices limit the number and customization of emoji stickers, failing to accurately reflect a user's unique facial expressions and body motions.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a camera, display, and processor that allows users to capture and generate customized facial expression and body motion files, which are then synchronized and combined to create a unique emoji sticker.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If emoji stickers are provided using predefined models or templates produced by graphic designers, then the service can be provided efficiently, but the number of available emoji stickers is limited and cannot accurately reflect unique user features

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization of emoji stickersVSAvoidemoji generation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the emoji generation process into separate editable components for different body parts (face, body, clothes, accessories). Each body part can be independently captured, edited, and customized, allowing users to create highly personalized emojis without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides predefined models and templates as starting points for emoji creation. These pre-prepared elements serve as bases that users can then customize, combining the efficiency of pre-processing with the flexibility of user-specific modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If users can customize each body part of emoji stickers, then unique user features are reflected accurately, but the operation process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of user feature reflectionVSAvoidemoji creation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The customization interface is segmented into distinct body part categories (face, body, clothes, accessories), allowing users to focus on one element at a time. This modular approach maintains ease of operation while achieving high precision in reflecting user features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system captures real user images and copies them onto the avatar template, preserving authentic user features. This copying approach ensures accurate reflection of unique characteristics while simplifying the customization process through automatic image transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

An electronic device includes a camera, a display, and a processor. The processor displays a user interface including menu items supporting entry into an edit mode for a body part of an emoji displayed on the display. The processor captures a user face image using the camera, upon a user requesting facial expression edit mode from the interface. The processor generates a facial expression motion file from the user face image. The processor captures a user body image using the camera upon the user requesting body motion edit mode. The processor generates a body motion file from the user body image. The processor adjusts sync for combining the generated facial expression motion file and body motion file. The processor generates a customized emoji sticker on which user facial expression and body movement are reflected by combining the sync-adjusted facial expression motion file and body motion file.
