Style Configuration Generation for Rapid Design Iteration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Designers face challenges in generating a wide range of creative options to meet client needs, as they often rely on familiar styles and struggle to produce numerous concepts within time constraints, while clients may have difficulty communicating their design expectations, leading to inefficiencies and potential client dissatisfaction.
Innovation Solution
A system and method to generate style configuration files from a library of values with and without parameters, allowing for the creation of design visuals that reflect combined style elements, enabling designers to produce multiple design options efficiently and align with client expectations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If designers create designs manually, then design quality and creativity can be maintained, but productivity and output volume are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computer-based intermediary system that acts as a creative assistant to the designer. This system automatically generates multiple design concepts by combining style elements from a library, allowing designers to produce numerous concepts quickly without manual effort for each concept, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining design quality and increasing productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary design work by automatically generating multiple style combinations before the designer needs to present concepts to the client. This preliminary generation of concepts saves time and allows the designer to focus on refining and selecting the best options, increasing overall productivity
2Adaptability or versatility
If designers stick to familiar styles, then design consistency and client satisfaction are maintained, but creativity and adaptability to new client needs are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates design concepts by randomly or systematically combining different style elements from a library, allowing the design style to adapt and change based on client feedback and requirements. This dynamic approach enables designers to explore new style combinations while maintaining the ability to understand and respond to client needs
3Loss of information
If designers create numerous options for client review, then client satisfaction and requirement understanding improve, but time consumption and process efficiency worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by automatically generating multiple design concepts that reflect various interpretations of client requirements. This eliminates the need for time-consuming back-and-forth communication to understand client expectations, as the system independently produces diverse options for client review, reducing both time loss and improving requirement understanding

AI summary
The present disclosure provides generating a style configuration file with and without parameters from a library of design values. As one non-limiting example, a website has certain styles that, when defined and combined, creates a full website design, such as, colors, color theme, button style, imagery, text inputs, font style, etc. These styles may be referred to as “top-level styles.” Each “top-level style” is in fact a category for a range of possible inputs or values. The system and method of the disclosure can thus query a library of top-level style values, and with parameters, mix and match these values into “style configuration files.” The style configuration files generated could then be used to produce a design visual by a rendering engine, wherein the design visual would reflect the styles of the values of the top-level styles in a configuration file.
