Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack the ability to generate personalized images based on conversation history and user inputs, limiting the expression of personal emotions and context in user interactions.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device is equipped with a processor and memory to extract keyword text from conversation history, identify relevant images, and generate layers using generative AI to create personalized images by overlapping first and second layers based on conversation information, keyword text, and image-related information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional image display methods are used in message applications, then device complexity remains low, but the ability to express personal emotions and context is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to express personal emotions and contextVSAvoidimage generation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image generation process is segmented into distinct functional modules: conversation analysis module that extracts keywords and emotions, image identification module that selects base images, layer generation module that creates overlay elements, and composition module that combines layers. This segmentation enables complex image generation capabilities while maintaining manageable system architecture through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between the message application and image display. This intermediary system analyzes conversation content, identifies emotional context, and generates appropriate visual representations without requiring direct complex interactions between the message app and image generation algorithms, thus managing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If personalized images are generated based on conversation history, then user interaction quality improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction qualityVSAvoidimage generation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and storing conversation history, pre-identifying potential keywords and emotional contexts, and pre-selecting candidate images. This preliminary processing enables faster image generation when user interaction requires personalized visual feedback, reducing the time penalty of complex image creation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by generating only the necessary components of personalized images based on the specific conversation context. Instead of always generating complete complex images, the system selectively creates only the layers and elements needed to convey the specific emotional or contextual information, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple layers are generated and overlapped to create personalized images, then image personalization quality improves, but computational resources consumed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage personalization qualityVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by generating different numbers and types of layers for different regions or aspects of the image based on conversation analysis. Instead of uniformly generating multiple complex layers for all images, the system creates only the necessary layers in specific areas where they add value to expressing the emotional or contextual information, thereby reducing overall computational energy consumption while maintaining personalization quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
