Solution Overview

Problem

Existing poster creation methods fail to appropriately express the intended impression of a user when character decoration is changed, as highlighted in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2020-046994.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that includes a processor and memory to acquire characters, receive user input for an aimed impression, and create a poster by determining character decoration methods based on the characters and aimed impression, using a poster creation unit to generate the poster.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If character decoration is changed to maintain readability, then readability is improved, but the intended impression of the poster is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereadabilityVSAvoidintended impression
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters of character decoration (such as color, size, font weight, spacing) based on the detected intended impression and actual readability assessment, optimizing both readability and impression expression simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback loops where the poster creation unit assesses readability after decoration, and adjusts decoration parameters iteratively to maintain both readability and intended impression

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If automated poster creation is implemented, then productivity is improved, but the ability to express intended impression is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposter creation efficiencyVSAvoidintended impression
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The automated system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the poster creation unit assesses whether the generated poster expresses the intended impression, and automatically adjusts decoration parameters to improve impression expression while maintaining automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes multiple parameters (character color, size, font, spacing, decoration style) based on the intended impression input, enabling automated creation that adapts to express different impressions effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Characters are acquired. An input of aimed impression is received. Based on the aimed impression, a character decoration method is determined. Based on the determined character decoration method and based on the characters, the poster is created.
