Metaphor-Based Concept Presentation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals often face difficulties in explaining complex concepts to others with different knowledge domains, as existing visual presentation tools fail to effectively bridge knowledge gaps between presenters and audiences.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine metaphors relevant to the audience's knowledge domain, correlate terms between the concept and metaphor, and generate content using these correlations to create targeted presentations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If visual presentation tools are used to explain concepts, then the presentation can be enhanced with visual aids, but the tools alone cannot bridge knowledge gaps between presenter and audience
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces metaphors as an intermediary element between the technical concept and the audience's existing knowledge. The metaphor determination module selects metaphors from the audience's knowledge domain that can serve as a bridge to explain technical concepts, thereby reducing information loss and improving comprehension without requiring the audience to directly understand complex technical terminology
2Measurement precision
If technical terms are used to accurately represent concepts, then precision is improved, but understanding by non-expert audiences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different linguistic qualities to different parts of the explanation. Technical terms are used when precision is required, while metaphorical language is used when accessibility is needed. The term correlation module identifies which technical terms can be replaced or supplemented with metaphorical equivalents based on the audience's knowledge domain, creating a locally optimized explanation that adapts to the audience's understanding level
3Adaptability or versatility
If presentations are customized for specific audiences, then comprehension improves, but the complexity of preparing targeted content increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic audience analysis and metaphor selection without requiring manual customization for each presentation. The audience analysis module automatically determines the knowledge domain of the intended audience, and the metaphor determination module automatically selects appropriate metaphors based on this analysis, eliminating the need for presenters to manually research and select metaphors for each audience

AI summary
A method, system, and computer program product for generating content of a topic for an intended audience are described. Topic information regarding a topic to be presented to an intended audience is obtained, as well as knowledge information regarding the intended audience. One or more metaphors relating to the topic and understood by the intended audience can be determined based at least in part on the topic information and the knowledge information. Content can be generated for the topic information based on a comparative analysis of the topic information to at least one of the one or more metaphors.
