Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to effectively visualize and enhance user engagement with personal or financial goals by generating unique, goal-based imagery that adapts to the user's progress and preferences.

Innovation Solution

A platform utilizing a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model to create custom imagery based on user inputs, attributes, and progress towards goals, dynamically filling or modifying the image over time, and allowing user feedback for retraining.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a system generates custom imagery based on user goals using GenAI, then user engagement and motivation are enhanced, but system complexity and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that bridges user goals and visual representation through GenAI technology. This intermediary layer processes user input, manages the complex image generation process, and delivers simplified visual outputs, thereby enhancing user engagement while containing system complexity within a dedicated processing layer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual methods of goal tracking and visualization with generative AI-based image synthesis. This substitution enables dynamic, adaptive visual representations that automatically update based on user progress, significantly improving ease of operation and user engagement compared to static or manually updated systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system dynamically fills or modifies images based on user progress, then the visual representation becomes more adaptive and motivating, but processing time and computational energy increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage adaptabilityVSAvoidcomputational energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial action by selectively updating only the portions of images that correspond to changes in user progress, rather than regenerating entire images. This approach maintains image adaptability while significantly reducing computational energy requirements by focusing processing resources on specific modified regions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating base image templates and pre-defining progress thresholds. This allows the system to quickly adapt images by overlaying or modifying predefined elements rather than performing complete image generation from scratch, thereby reducing real-time computational energy consumption while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the system uses GenAI to create unique goal imagery, then user motivation increases, but the time required to generate and process images increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser motivationVSAvoidimage generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training the GenAI model on goal-related imagery and pre-generating template images for common goal types. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces the time required to generate unique goal imagery during actual use, as the system can leverage pre-processed resources rather than creating everything from scratch

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by generating or modifying only the specific portions of images that are relevant to user goals and progress, rather than generating complete high-resolution images. This approach maintains motivational impact through targeted visual elements while reducing overall image generation time through selective processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
