Solution Overview

Problem

Users face the challenge of comprehending objects with diverse information modalities without conducting extensive searches, leading to increased browsing time and degraded user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating text that describes an object by acquiring, analyzing, and parsing data from various sources to extract material information, which is then used to create a coherent text narrative.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users browse information in multiple modalities to comprehensively understand an object, then understanding completeness is improved, but browsing time increases and user experience degrades

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidbrowsing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments information from multiple modalities (text, images, videos, audio) into structured data fields, organizing them separately for efficient processing and retrieval, allowing users to access comprehensive information without browsing through all modalities sequentially

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an information processing system as an intermediary that automatically extracts, structures, and integrates information from multiple modalities, converting unstructured multi-modal data into organized, searchable content that users can access directly without manual browsing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If users manually search through multiple modalities to understand an object, then information accuracy is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically extract, verify, and structure information from multiple modalities without requiring user intervention in the information gathering process, allowing users to simply query and receive accurate results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical browsing and information verification with automated computational processes including text recognition, image analysis, and data cross-validation algorithms that accurately process information from multiple modalities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Quantity of substance

If comprehensive information from multiple modalities is provided, then information richness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation quantityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal information processing architecture that handles multiple modalities (text, images, videos, audio) through integrated processing pipelines, allowing the same system structure to process diverse information types without requiring separate dedicated systems for each modality

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms information from different modalities into a unified parameter-based data structure, converting diverse formats into standardized fields that can be stored, searched, and processed uniformly, thereby managing information richness without proportionally increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
