Solution Overview

Problem

The interpretation of emojis can lead to misunderstandings due to regional and personal differences in meaning, causing confusion in cross-cultural and cross-regional communications, and existing translation methods may provide erroneous translations.

Innovation Solution

A method that analyzes current and historical text data to recommend and translate emojis based on regional and personal profiles, using a comparison engine to select an emoji that accurately represents the context and intent, and adjusts the emoji for the recipient's profile to ensure accurate interpretation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional emoji translation methods are used, then translation speed is maintained, but translation accuracy deteriorates due to regional and personal differences in emoji meaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the translation process into multiple components: receiving current text data, receiving historical text data for sender, receiving historical text data for recipient, analyzing contextual meaning, and determining translated emoji. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving overall translation accuracy while managing system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by receiving and storing historical text data for both sender and recipient before performing the actual translation. This preliminary data collection and analysis enables the system to establish baseline emoji usage patterns and preferences, which significantly improves translation accuracy when processing current text data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If context analysis based on historical data is performed, then emoji selection accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemoji selection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by analyzing only the necessary portions of historical text data relevant to the current translation context. Rather than processing entire conversation histories, the system focuses on extracting and analyzing specific emoji usage patterns and contextual meanings, achieving high accuracy while minimizing processing time through selective data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously learning from historical text data and adjusting emoji selection based on analyzed patterns. The system uses feedback from previous translations and user interactions to refine its contextual analysis, improving emoji selection accuracy over time while optimizing processing efficiency through learned patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to recommendation and translation of symbols. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving current text data from a sender, receiving a first set of historical text data for the sender, determining emoji use preference of the sender, analyzing the current text data for context that is representable by an emoji, selecting a first emoji based the context and the first set of historical text data, receiving a second set of historical text data for a recipient of the current text data, analyzing a contextual meaning of the selected emoji based on the first set of historical text data and the second set of historical text data, determining, based on the analyzing the contextual meaning of the selected emoji, that a second emoji would more closely match the context of the current text data, and sending the second emoji to the recipient.
