Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing poster creation methods fail to accurately convey the intended impression of users, as they lack the ability to automatically generate posters that match specific impression targets, leading to a lack of control over the final design.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that displays multiple poster images with different impressions, allowing users to select and arrange objects to create a poster that matches their intended impression by using a combination of skeleton selection, color scheme patterns, and font choices, with an impression estimation unit to ensure the final poster aligns with the target impression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automatic poster arrangement is performed using templates, then productivity is improved, but the ability to accurately convey user-intended impression deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveposter creation efficiencyVSAvoidimpression accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system calculates an impression score for each generated poster by comparing its characteristics against the target impression, and uses this feedback to iteratively optimize the poster generation process, ensuring both automated efficiency and accurate impression conveyance

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system adjusts multiple parameters including skeleton selection, color scheme patterns, and font choices to optimize the balance between automated generation speed and impression accuracy, dynamically changing parameters based on target impression requirements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple design elements are manually arranged, then impression accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimpression accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the poster creation process into independent modules (skeleton selection, color scheme application, font assignment, impression scoring) that can be independently optimized and combined, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining impression accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs impression scoring and optimization without requiring manual intervention, making the complexity management self-service rather than user-managed

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a first display unit configured to display a plurality of poster images having different impressions, a first acceptance unit configured to accept specifying a poster image from the plurality of poster images having different impressions displayed on the first display unit, a second display unit configured to display a plurality of poster images having differently arranged one or more objects, and a second acceptance unit configured to accept specifying a poster image from the plurality of poster images having the differently arranged one or more objects displayed on the second display unit. The first display unit displays the plurality of poster images based on the second acceptance unit, or the second display unit displays the plurality of poster images based on the first acceptance unit.
