Problem

Conventional systems lack flexibility and accuracy in generating and presenting digital documentation with multimodal content, often requiring users to perform additional searches and consuming computational resources due to static content and limited modalities.

Innovation Solution

A document expansion system that dynamically generates and integrates multimodal content, such as image-text pairs, into digital documents in response to user interactions, using external sources to ensure contextual coherence and relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems use static, single-modal content for digital documentation, then the system complexity is low, but the flexibility and accuracy in providing relevant information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in providing multimodal contentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic content generation by using machine learning models to create multimodal content (text, images, videos) that adapts to user interactions and context. The system transitions from static documentation to dynamic, interactive content that can be generated on-demand based on user selections and contextual information, thereby improving flexibility while managing complexity through automated generation processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses machine learning models to generate synthetic multimodal content that copies and expands upon existing documentation content. The system creates additional text descriptions, generates relevant images, and produces video content that mirrors and enhances the original information, providing versatile multimodal representations without requiring manual creation of each content type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If conventional systems provide static digital documentation, then the ease of operation is moderate, but the user understanding and information accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoiduser interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system monitors user interactions with digital documentation and uses this feedback to generate more accurate and relevant multimodal content. The machine learning models analyze user selections, viewing patterns, and contextual information to continuously improve the accuracy and relevance of generated content, creating a closed-loop system that enhances information reliability through iterative refinement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the system to automatically generate and expand documentation content without requiring extensive manual intervention. The machine learning models self-service by autonomously creating text, images, and videos based on existing content and user interactions, reducing the need for manual content creation while maintaining high information accuracy through automated quality assurance processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If conventional systems use single-modal content, then the manufacturing precision is high, but the contextual coherence and visual representation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent generation accuracyVSAvoidcontextual coherence
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple content modalities (text, images, videos, diagrams) into integrated documentation packages that maintain contextual coherence. The machine learning models generate and synchronize multiple content types that reference and support each other, ensuring that visual elements align with textual descriptions and that all modalities contribute to a unified, contextually coherent narrative, thereby preventing information loss across different content types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for expanding a digital document including a sequence of informational data via supplemental multimodal digital content. In particular, the system expands digital documents with multimodal granular details to dynamically integrate supplemental in-depth information to the digital document. For example, in response to a selection of a specific portion of a digital document, the system generates expanded multimodal content (e.g., text and image content) for the selected portion of the digital document from external text and image sources. Indeed, the system uses existing content from the digital document to select images and combine the selected images with text into image-text pairs that are textually and visually consistent with the digital document. Moreover, the system expands the digital document by inserting the image-text pairs in connection with the selected portion of the digital document.
