Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users with poor design skills struggle to designate a target impression that suits the content they desire in creating posters, leading to mismatched design outcomes.

Innovation Solution

The poster creation application adjusts the range of designatable target impressions based on the designated content, facilitating the selection of an impression that aligns with the user's intent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the user is allowed to freely designate any target impression, then the adaptability of the system is improved, but users with poor design skills cannot select an appropriate impression, leading to mismatched design outcomes

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverange of designatable target impressionVSAvoidability to select appropriate impression

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes the parameter range of designatable target impressions based on the selected content. When content is designated, the system automatically adjusts the available impression range to match the content characteristics, thereby guiding users with poor design skills to select appropriate impressions while maintaining system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that analyzes the relationship between content and impressions. This intermediary automatically determines the suitable impression range based on content properties and presents it to the user, mediating between the user's limited design ability and the system's need for appropriate impression selection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the system provides a fixed range of target impressions, then the ease of operation is improved, but the system cannot accommodate different content types effectively

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesimplicity of impression selectionVSAvoidcompatibility with different content types

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from a static fixed impression range to a dynamic adjustable range. The impression range automatically adapts based on the designated content type, making the system both easy to operate (users don't need to know design theory) and adaptable (different content types receive appropriate impression ranges).

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If the system analyzes content to determine appropriate impression ranges, then the manufacturing precision of design matching is improved, but the processing time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvematching accuracy between content and impressionVSAvoidcomplexity of impression range control

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of content characteristics before the user needs to select an impression. By pre-analyzing the content and determining the appropriate impression range in advance, the system achieves high matching accuracy without requiring complex real-time processing during impression selection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure is an information processing apparatus configured to generate data of a creation product, and includes: a reception unit configured receive designation of a content to be arranged in the creation product and designation of a target impression from a user, the target impression being an impression that is required to be eventually given by the creation product; and a control unit configured to perform control such that a range of the target impression designatable by the user in a case where the reception unit receives designation of a first content is different from a range of the target impression designatable by the user in a case where the reception unit receives designation of a second content different from the first content.
