Flavor and Aroma Preference Translation in Information Processing Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques fail to convert a user's preference for an object into language, limiting effective communication of preferences.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that receives user feedback on object preferences, converts them into language, and recommends similar objects based on user input and database analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a user's preference is visualized using coordinate axes as in Patent Document 1, then the preference can be displayed graphically, but the preference cannot be converted into language
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary translation process that converts visual coordinate data into natural language descriptions. The system uses a translation unit that maps coordinate positions and movement trajectories into semantic preference expressions, acting as a mediator between the visual representation and verbal communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter representation from spatial coordinates to linguistic parameters. By transforming the coordinate system data into language-based descriptors, the patent enables preference information to be expressed in multiple formats (visual and verbal) without losing the underlying preference data.
2Measurement precision
If preference data is stored and processed in detailed coordinate format, then precise preference tracking is achieved, but the data cannot be easily communicated verbally
Solution Approach 1:
The translation unit serves as an intermediary that preserves the precision of coordinate-based preference measurement while enabling easy verbal communication. It translates the precise coordinate data into natural language expressions that maintain the underlying precision information in a communicable format.
Solution Approach 2:
The system makes the preference data universal by enabling it to serve multiple functions: precise measurement through coordinate tracking and easy communication through language conversion. The same preference data can be used for both analytical purposes and verbal expression without loss of information.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system tracks user preference history in detail, then personalized recommendations can be generated, but the complexity of processing and communicating this data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The translation unit acts as an intermediary that simplifies the communication of complex personalized preference data. By converting detailed preference histories into concise language expressions, the system maintains high adaptability for personalized recommendations while reducing the complexity of data communication and user interaction.

AI summary
An information processing device includes an access means accessing a database recording a plurality of words indicating, for each of a plurality of objects, flavor or aroma of an object; a presenting means presenting to a user an object to be used from among a set of determined objects in order; a display control means for causing a display means to display a plurality of words obtained from the database indicating the flavor or aroma of the object to be used; a receiving means receiving a selection of the flavor or aroma sensed by user using the object to be used and the input of the preference; and an output means outputting words that shows the tendency of the user's preference according to the selection and the input, in a case that the selection and the input are received regarding all the objects that constitute the set of determined objects.
