Solution Overview

Problem

Existing paraphrasing technologies fail to consider the emotional sentiment and context of communications, neglecting the emotional state of the sender and recipient, and their relationship, which limits the effectiveness of paraphrasing suggestions in improving tone and emotional reception.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines the emotional state of users through facial analysis, heart rate analysis, and language analysis, and calculates relationship strength scores to provide paraphrasing candidates that are emotionally congruent with the context, using a system that integrates data from multiple user devices and web services to suggest emotional synonyms or antonyms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing paraphrasing tools are used, then text can be rewritten while maintaining original meaning, but the emotional sentiment and context of the communication is not considered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotional adaptabilityVSAvoidemotional context information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary emotional state detection for both sender and recipient before generating paraphrasing suggestions. By determining emotional states in advance through facial analysis, audio analysis, and language analysis, the system can then select appropriate linguistic elements that match the emotional context, ensuring the paraphrased text maintains emotional accuracy without requiring post-generation adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where the emotional states of sender and recipient are continuously monitored and used to refine paraphrasing suggestions. The relationship strength score provides feedback about the communication dynamic, allowing the system to adjust linguistic element selection to better match the emotional context and improve emotional resonance of the communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If multiple data sources are integrated for emotional state determination, then emotional accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotional state detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the emotional state determination process into separate analytical modules: facial analysis module, audio analysis module, and language analysis module. Each module processes specific data types independently and contributes to the overall emotional state assessment. This segmentation allows for modular integration of multiple data sources while maintaining manageable system complexity through clear functional separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a universal emotional state determination framework that can process multiple data types (facial expressions, audio tones, language patterns) through a common analytical structure. The relationship strength scoring mechanism serves as a universal function that works across different communication contexts and data sources, providing a unified approach to integrating diverse information without requiring separate specialized systems for each data type

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

AI summary

Systems and methods for paraphrasing communications are disclosed. A first communication input is received and a context of the first communication input is determined. Based on the context of the first communication input, a plurality of linguistic elements are selected and a plurality of paraphrasing pairs are identified, each pair having one of the plurality of linguistic elements and a paraphrasing candidate of the linguistic element. The paraphrasing candidate is based on an emotional state of a sender of the first communication input and at least one of the plurality of paraphrasing pairs are displayed to the sender for selection.
