Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional conversational AI is used to make print settings through a series of questions, then basic print settings can be determined, but the system cannot accurately interpret and execute print instructions beyond basic settings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from conventional conversational AI to generative AI, fundamentally changing the technological parameter of the AI system. This parameter change enables the system to accurately interpret complex print instructions in natural language while determining appropriate print settings, resolving the contradiction between versatility and interpretation accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a plugin as an intermediary component that bridges the generative AI service and the print job execution system. The plugin receives natural language input, generates appropriate print settings through the generative AI, and executes the print job, thereby enabling accurate interpretation and execution of complex print instructions
2Ease of operation
If a chatbot answers a series of questions to make print settings, then print settings can be determined, but it is difficult to automatically send print jobs to printers based on input instructions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to automatically execute print jobs without requiring users to manually configure settings. The generative AI service with the plugin automatically interprets natural language instructions, determines print settings, and sends print jobs to printers, achieving full automation while maintaining ease of operation through simple natural language input
Solution Approach 2:
The plugin is designed as a multi-functional component that handles both print settings determination and print job execution. This universal component can process various types of print instructions and automatically complete the entire printing workflow, from interpretation to execution, thereby increasing the extent of automation
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention is directed to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that extends a function of a generative AI service, the computer program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to: acquire, from a user terminal, a natural language input related to a print instruction from a user, the print instruction being accepted through the generative AI service; determine a print setting on the basis of the natural language input related to the print instruction; and return the determined print setting to the user terminal.
