Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content delivery systems do not allow for distortion of content to suit user preferences or stylistic intentions, as they primarily focus on rendering content as intended by the author without considering user mood or preferences.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that receive content in the form of a markup language instruction set and distort it according to predetermined parameters, allowing users to select stylistic or personal preferences for rendering, using a browser distributed across devices or a single device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If content is rendered to reflect the intentions of the author, then content accuracy is improved, but user customization capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accuracyVSAvoiduser customization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the rendering process into multiple independent modules, each responsible for a specific aspect of content interpretation (e.g., text-to-speech, image generation, layout). This allows the system to maintain accurate rendering of author's intent in each module while enabling users to selectively customize individual modules without affecting the entire content delivery system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic rendering where the system can switch between different rendering modes and parameters based on user preferences and context. The rendering engine dynamically adjusts properties such as text size, speech rate, image style, and layout configuration, allowing the same content to be rendered differently for different users while maintaining fidelity to the original content structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If content is distorted according to user preferences, then user satisfaction is improved, but content fidelity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidcontent fidelity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing users to customize specific aspects of content rendering (e.g., text appearance, speech parameters, image properties) while leaving other aspects unchanged. This enables distortion in only the areas the user cares about, maintaining fidelity in the original content meaning and structure while improving user satisfaction through personalized presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary rendering engine that sits between the original content and the user interface. This intermediary layer transforms the content according to user preferences while preserving the original content's semantic meaning. The rendering engine acts as a mediator that reconciles the conflict between content fidelity and user customization by applying transformations that satisfy user preferences without altering the underlying content integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
