Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for navigating and presenting digital content about individuals, events, or experiences are limited, lacking topical context, granularity in time viewpoint, ability to enhance or expand content quality, and tailoring to individual needs.

Innovation Solution

The system provides a multi-faceted and flexibly-dimensional virtual experience of target identities by selecting, finding, and interpreting digital content, deconstructing it into discrete content elements, supplementing existing content, and constructing a virtual experience container adapted to the user's device and needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing timeline view methods are used to navigate content, then content can be displayed in chronological order, but the content lacks topical context and cannot be tailored to individual needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent navigation adaptabilityVSAvoidtopical context
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments digital content into discrete content elements with specific facets (temporal, spatial, conceptual, sensory) that can be independently selected and recombined. This segmentation enables the system to navigate content by topical context rather than just chronological order, while preserving all original information through the facet-based structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces multiple dimensions for content navigation beyond time, including spatial, conceptual, and sensory dimensions through the facet schema. This allows users to navigate content by topical context and individual needs across multiple dimensions simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between chronological display and topical adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If content is stored in original format from element sources, then complete information is preserved, but processing efficiency decreases and storage costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidstorage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments content into discrete elements with specific facets, storing only the necessary attributes for each facet type. This segmentation reduces storage requirements by eliminating redundant information while maintaining processing efficiency through the structured facet-based organization that enables rapid retrieval and recombination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates facet-based representations (copies) of original content that capture essential information in a standardized format. These facet copies enable efficient processing and recombination without requiring storage of the complete original content in multiple formats, reducing storage costs while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If content is deconstructed into discrete elements and facet-segmented, then processing efficiency increases and storage costs decrease, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirtual experience construction speedVSAvoidcontent processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal facet schema that can represent multiple types of content (images, video, text, audio) through a common structure. This universality simplifies the processing system by providing a single standardized approach for deconstructing and recombining diverse content types, reducing system complexity while maintaining high productivity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter-based facets (temporal, spatial, conceptual, sensory) to represent content attributes, allowing flexible recombination through parameter matching rather than complex rule-based systems. This parameter change approach simplifies the processing logic while enabling rapid virtual experience construction through efficient parameter-based retrieval and assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If supplemental information is added to enhance content quality, then user experience improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoiduser wait time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary deconstruction of content into facet-segmented elements during ingestion, organizing information by temporal, spatial, conceptual, and sensory facets. This preliminary action enables rapid retrieval and recombination during virtual experience construction, allowing supplemental information to be added efficiently without increasing user wait time, thus improving content quality while maintaining fast processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and techniques are described herein for providing a beholder, via a user interface on a user experience device, with a multi-faceted and flexibly-dimensional virtual experience of one or more target identities placed in a subject matter context. A system's aspects include selecting, finding, and interpreting digital content pertaining to a subject matter context indicated by the beholder; deconstructing digital content into discrete content elements containing content segments that are classified according to a schema of element facets, and then constructing a facet-segmented repository of discrete content elements pertaining to a target identity; supplementing existing digital content with supplemental information and content to support the presentation of expanded information content, dimensions, or sensory capabilities; and creating and presenting a virtual experience container that is adapted to the beholder and the capabilities of the beholder's user experience device.
