Solution Overview

Problem

Existing music generation programs often produce music that lacks musical qualities, such as misaligned lyrics and melody notes, disjointed organization, and mismatched rhythm tracks, making them unsuitable for widespread use in rapid song development.

Innovation Solution

A music generation system comprising a processor and memory with a rhythm template database, which receives user-input lyrics, identifies syllable patterns, matches them to selected rhythm templates, generates melodies, and outputs music files encoding both melody and lyrics, ensuring better alignment and structure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If music is generated automatically from lyrics using conventional programs, then music generation speed is improved, but musical quality deteriorates due to misaligned lyrics and melody notes, scattered organization, and mismatched rhythm tracks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic generation speedVSAvoidlyrics-melody alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining rhythm templates with specific rhythmic patterns and structures before music generation. These templates include pre-established tempo, time signature, and rhythmic contour information that guide the automatic melody generation process, ensuring proper lyrics-melody alignment from the outset rather than requiring post-processing corrections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by allowing users to adjust key musical parameters such as tempo, time signature, and rhythm template selection. These parameter changes directly influence the generated melody's rhythmic structure and its alignment with the input lyrics, enabling precise control over the lyrics-melody synchronization while maintaining automated generation speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If music is generated automatically from lyrics using conventional programs, then music generation speed is improved, but song structure organization deteriorates becoming scattered and disjointed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic generation speedVSAvoidsong structure organization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the song structure into distinct sections (verse, chorus, bridge, etc.) with specific rhythmic templates assigned to each section. This segmentation allows the automated generation process to maintain proper organizational structure by treating each section as a coherent unit with consistent rhythmic characteristics, preventing scattered and disjointed composition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves universality through rhythm templates that can be applied across different song sections and styles. The templates provide universal structural guidance that works for various music genres and song types, ensuring consistent and coherent organization regardless of the specific musical context while maintaining automated generation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If music is generated automatically from lyrics using conventional programs, then music generation speed is improved, but rhythm track matching deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic generation speedVSAvoidrhythm track alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing rhythm templates that define the rhythmic framework before melody generation. These templates include pre-defined beat patterns, syncopation structures, and rhythmic accents that ensure the generated melody will properly align with the rhythm track, eliminating the need for post-generation rhythm matching adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by analyzing the input lyrics' syllabic structure and using this information to adjust the rhythm template selection and melody generation parameters. This feedback loop ensures that the generated melody's rhythmic pattern naturally aligns with the rhythm track while maintaining appropriate alignment with the lyrics' natural speech rhythms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A music generation system is provided comprising a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing a rhythm template database comprising a plurality of rhythm templates, and a music generation program stored in the memory and executed by the processor to be configured to receive a user input of lyrics, identify a plurality of syllables in the lyrics, determine a syllable pattern in the identified plurality of syllables, match the syllable pattern to a selected rhythm template of the plurality of rhythm templates, generate a melody based on the selected rhythm template, generate a music file encoding the melody and the lyrics, and output the music file encoding the melody and the lyrics.
