Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mechanisms for sentiment modulation in conversation systems are inadequate as they fail to dynamically detect, modulate, and adapt emotions in real-time, often resulting in static and non-impactful emotional expressions that do not align with the listener's state of mind.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that generate sentiment and emotion vectors for sentences, create dependency vectors, and reshape waveforms to produce rephrased sentences based on user-defined emotional outputs, ensuring dynamic and context-specific emotional modulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static emotions are reflected through text of stored responses and offline communication, then the text can convey emotions, but the emotions cannot adapt to the listener's state of mind and situation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to listener's state of mindVSAvoidcomplexity of real-time emotion detection and modulation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and stores multiple rephrased versions of responses with different emotional modulations before interaction. When a listener's state is detected, the system can quickly retrieve and select from these pre-prepared alternatives, avoiding the need for complex real-time generation while achieving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates multiple copies of the same response content with different emotional characteristics (different rephrased sentences). These copies are stored and can be selected based on the listener's state, allowing emotion adaptation without changing the core information content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional mechanisms use fixed and pre-defined modulation for sentences, then the modulation process is simple, but the modulation cannot be dynamic or context-specific

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic emotion modulation capabilityVSAvoidprocessing speed for real-time conversation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple rephrased sentences with different emotional modulations are generated and stored in advance for each original sentence. During real-time conversation, the system only needs to retrieve and select from these pre-generated alternatives based on detected emotional context, maintaining high processing speed while achieving dynamic adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from fixed, static emotion modulation to dynamic selection among multiple pre-generated emotional variants. The appropriate emotional modulation is selected in real-time based on the listener's detected state, enabling context-specific adaptation without sacrificing processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If bold text is used to stress a point, then the emphasis is clear, but the degree of boldness cannot be modulated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of emotion intensity controlVSAvoidcomplexity of sentiment vector and waveform processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses sentiment vectors with weighted values and waveform parameters to continuously adjust the intensity and type of emotional modulation. Instead of binary bold/not-bold formatting, the system varies parameters like sentiment weight, emotion intensity, and waveform characteristics to achieve precise control over emotional expression degrees.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediate representations (sentiment vectors, emotion vectors, waveforms) between the original text and the final output. These intermediaries enable fine-grained control over emotional modulation by allowing incremental adjustments to sentiment weights and waveform parameters, achieving precise emotion intensity control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Measurement precision

If multiple rephrased sentences are generated based on reshaped waveform, then the emotional expression becomes more accurate, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of emotional expressionVSAvoidtime for generating and processing rephrased sentences
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple rephrased sentences with different emotional characteristics are generated and stored in advance for each original sentence. During real-time interaction, the system retrieves these pre-generated alternatives and selects the most appropriate one based on the listener's detected state, achieving accurate emotional expression without real-time generation delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
