Solution Overview

Problem

Existing writing tools lack the ability to effectively convey thoughts in writing, particularly in conveying ideas concisely and engagingly, and often fail to provide suitable recommendations involving multimedia content.

Innovation Solution

A system that applies tailored textual effects to image captions using a large language model, allowing users to select from various styles such as humorous, poetic, or Shakespearean, and generates alternative captions based on user input or metadata, with the option to rank and refine the generated text.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing writing tools are used, then grammar checking is provided, but the ability to convey thoughts concisely and engagingly is not improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewriting effectivenessVSAvoidstyle variation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of text generation by applying different stylistic filters (humorous, poetic, Shakespearean, formal, paraphrase) to transform the same input text into different output versions, enabling style variation while maintaining writing effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates multiple copies of the same text with different stylistic characteristics by using a large language model trained on diverse textual data, allowing users to select from multiple version copies of their writing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing writing tools are used, then textual features are analyzed, but multimedia content recommendations are not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultimedia supportVSAvoidsystem capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves multi-functionality by integrating both textual analysis and multimedia content recommendation capabilities into a single writing assistance tool, allowing it to handle both text generation and multimedia context understanding

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple textual variations are generated, then writing style flexibility is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestyle optionsVSAvoidtext generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining and pre-training multiple stylistic filters before the user needs to generate text, so that when text generation is required, the model can quickly apply these pre-trained styles without time-consuming training or computation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The technology relates to applying specific (tailored) effects to captions for images. The text used to describe an image can be paraphrased or recast in a particular style based on an effect selected by a user. For instance, the user may create a baseline caption for an image on a social media feed. The process may include the system identifying an initial text caption associated with an image presented in a graphical user interface of an application and determining a filter effect to be applied to the initial text caption. The process can then apply the filter effect to a trained large language model to generate one or more textual variations of the initial text caption. Then the process may transmit the one or more textual variations for display along with the image, wherein the one or more textual variations are configured to replace display of the initial text caption.
