Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing number of consumption channels for social media compositions complicates the digital creation process, making it difficult for users to create content that is optimized for multiple platforms using separate composers, which leads to inefficiencies in data storage and processing resources.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that allows users to create multiple renditions of a social media composition using a single digital composer, where user-selected content is adapted to fit the specific features of different consumption channels, such as stories and newsfeed formats, by determining the user's intent, providing a composition screen, collecting media, text, and metadata, and creating distinct compositions for each channel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate composers are used for different consumption channels, then each composition can be optimized for its specific channel, but the device complexity and data storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomposition optimization for specific channelsVSAvoidnumber of composers

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a single digital composer that can create compositions for multiple consumption channels (newsfeed, stories, etc.) by adapting the same user-selected content to different channel-specific formats and features, eliminating the need for separate composers for each channel

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate composers are used for different consumption channels, then each composition can be optimized for its specific channel, but data storage and processing resources are inefficiently utilized

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomposition optimization for specific channelsVSAvoiddata storage resources

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functionality of multiple composers into a single digital composer, consolidating data storage and processing resources. User-selected content is stored once and then adapted to different channel formats, reducing redundant storage and processing overhead

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple composers are used for different consumption channels, then each composition can be optimized for its specific channel, but the ease of operation decreases due to the complicated creation process

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomposition optimization for specific channelsVSAvoiddigital creation process

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The single digital composer provides a unified interface and workflow that handles multiple consumption channels, allowing users to create optimized compositions for different channels through a consistent, simplified process rather than learning multiple separate composer interfaces

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Systems and methods for creating multiple renditions of a social media composition may include (1) providing a composition screen configured to be used to create user compositions for use with different consumption channels of a social media application, (2) collecting, via the composition screen, a set of one or more user inputs selecting user-selected content, to be included within a user composition, that includes photographs and text, (3) creating a first rendering of the user composition, to be viewed from a first consumption channel, that includes a slideshow of the photographs with a cover card that includes the text, and (4) creating a second rendering of the user composition, to be viewed from a second consumption channel, that includes a collage of the photographs with a caption that includes the text. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
