Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic messaging lacks the ability to convey subtle aspects of tone, intention, and sentiment, leading to misunderstandings due to the absence of non-verbal cues like tone, volume, and facial expressions, which are critical in personal and business communications.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that impose a dynamic sentiment vector on electronic messages by analyzing emotionally-charged language and applying sensory effects such as visual filters, vibration patterns, or audio effects to convey the intended sentiment, utilizing sentiment vector generators, parsing modules, and neural networks to determine and enhance the emotional tone of messages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If electronic messaging is used for efficient communication, then instant delivery and limitless connectivity are achieved, but the ability to convey tone, intention, and sentiment is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidloss of emotional tone and intent
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that analyzes electronic messages and overlays sentiment vectors to reconstruct emotional tone. The system acts as a mediator between the sender's intent and the recipient's understanding, using natural language processing and sentiment analysis algorithms to detect emotional cues and apply appropriate visual, auditory, or haptic overlays that convey the original emotional context

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension to electronic messaging by superimposing multi-sensory layers (visual filters, audio effects, haptic patterns) onto traditional text-based communication. This transforms the communication from a purely textual plane to a multi-dimensional experience that incorporates emotional and sensory elements, allowing recipients to perceive tone and intent through additional sensory channels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Speed

If traditional electronic messaging is used, then communication speed is maintained, but misunderstandings occur due to absence of non-verbal cues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery speedVSAvoidcommunication accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary sentiment analysis on the message content before delivery, identifying emotional tone and intent in advance. This allows the appropriate sentiment vector overlay to be pre-configured and applied automatically when the message is sent, ensuring that emotional context is preserved without delaying the instant delivery that characterizes electronic messaging

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously learns from user interactions and sentiment analysis results, refining its ability to accurately detect emotional tone and apply appropriate overlays. This feedback loop improves communication accuracy over time while maintaining the speed of electronic messaging

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

One variation of a system for imposing a dynamic sentiment vector to an electronic message includes: a processor; an electronic computing device communicatively coupled to the processor and associated with a particular user; and a sentiment vector generator comprising: a parsing module; a dynamic sentiment value spectrum associated with the particular user; and a program executable by the processor and configured to: receive a text input comprising message content from the electronic computing device; parse, at the parsing module, the message content comprised in the text input for emotionally charged language; based on the emotionally charged language, generate a sentiment value from the dynamic sentiment value spectrum for the text input and, based on the sentiment value, impose a sentiment vector, corresponding to the assigned sentiment value, to the text input, the imposed sentiment vector rendering a sensory effect on the message content designed to convey a corresponding sentiment.
