Solution Overview

Problem

Existing structured design information is difficult for humans to understand due to its structured format, making it cumbersome for users to handle effectively.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that stores explanatory information for each element in structured design information, generates a prompt for a language model to create explanatory text, and presents this text to users, facilitating easier understanding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If structured design information is used, then processing efficiency and data handling capability are improved, but human understandability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidhuman understandability

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between structured design information and human users. This intermediary is implemented through explanatory information that bridges the gap between machine-readable structured data and human comprehension, allowing users to understand complex structured information without compromising the structured format's processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the design information into two distinct components: structured design information (for machine processing) and explanatory information (for human understanding). Each component serves its specific purpose independently, with the structured data maintaining processing efficiency while the explanatory text provides human-readable context

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Extent of automation

If automated design technology outputs structured design information, then computer handling capability is improved, but human comprehension deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomputer handling capabilityVSAvoidhuman comprehension

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs explanatory information as an intermediary that translates automated design outputs into human-comprehensible formats. This allows automated design technology to maintain its structured output format for computer handling while providing parallel explanatory text that enhances human understanding

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the information presentation into separate segments: structured design information for automated processing and explanatory information for human comprehension. This segmentation allows each component to optimize for its intended audience while working together as an integrated system

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a storage means, a generation means, and a presentation means. The storage means stores explanatory information for each element that can be included in structured design information. The generation means generates a prompt to be input into a language model, the prompt instructing the language model to generate an explanatory text for the structured design information using the stored explanatory information. The presentation means presents the acquired explanatory text of the structured design information by inputting the generated prompt into the language model to a user.
