Solution Overview

Problem

Current translation and linguistic memory banks are unspecific and fail to account for the varying interpretations of words or phrases across different age groups, genders, and social contexts, particularly in online interactions involving users from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

Innovation Solution

A system that utilizes a product history to create a linguistic corpus by storing and analyzing user interactions, behaviors, and rules associated with specific products, including safety and popularity metrics, to provide context-aware translations that adapt to the age, gender, location, and social hierarchies of users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If general translation memory banks are used, then translation coverage is broad, but translation accuracy for specific contexts deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation coverageVSAvoidtranslation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the linguistic memory bank into product-specific portions, dividing the general translation database into specialized subsets tailored to individual products and their contexts, thereby improving translation accuracy for specific contexts while maintaining broad coverage across multiple product segments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by creating linguistically annotated data with specific tags and metadata that capture contextual nuances for different products, user demographics, and usage scenarios, allowing translation accuracy to be optimized locally for each specific context while maintaining overall system versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If context-aware translation systems are implemented, then translation accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-annotating linguistic data with contextual tags, metadata, and product-specific information during the data collection and processing phase, so that when translation is needed, the system can directly query pre-prepared contextual information rather than performing complex real-time analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary linguistic corpus layer between the general translation memory bank and the translation output, which acts as a mediator that stores pre-processed contextual information and facilitates efficient query resolution without requiring the translation system to directly handle complex contextual analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If product-specific linguistic data is collected, then translation relevance improves, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation relevanceVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically collect, annotate, and organize linguistic data from product interactions and user feedback without requiring extensive manual processing, allowing the system to self-update its product-specific linguistic corpus while maintaining high translation relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating structured templates and reusable annotation patterns for linguistic data that can be replicated across similar products and contexts, reducing the time required to process and annotate new product-specific data while maintaining consistent translation relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

There is provided a system having a memory for storing a software application, where the software application includes a product database. The product database includes a product history for a plurality of products. A processor is configured to execute the software application. The software application receives product requirements for a new product, determines at least one related product from the plurality of products based on the product requirements for the new product, evaluates the product history of the at least one related product to determine a linguistic corpus for the new product, and creates the linguistic corpus for the new product.
