Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating character-specific sentences in texts, such as scripts or novels, either require high costs and time for manual rewriting or generate inappropriate sentences due to the need for developing rules and machine learning models, leading to concerns about cost and accuracy in automated conversion methods.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device with a detection unit that uses a learning model to identify character-like expressions in text and a generation unit that creates alternative expressions based on detected features, allowing for user feedback to relearn the model and improve sentence generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual rewriting is used to generate character-specific sentences, then accuracy is improved, but time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of character-specific sentencesVSAvoidtime and cost for rewriting
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by detecting user reactions to generated different expressions and relearning the learning model accordingly. This allows the system to improve accuracy over time while maintaining automated operation, resolving the contradiction between high accuracy and low time/cost investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-improvement by automatically relearning the learning model based on user feedback without requiring manual intervention for model training. This enables the system to maintain high accuracy while operating autonomously, reducing both time and cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of time

If automated sentence conversion based on rules or machine learning is used, then time and cost are reduced, but inappropriate sentences may be generated and development cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime and cost for sentence conversionVSAvoidquality of generated sentences
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system detects user reactions to generated expressions and uses this feedback to relearn the learning model, continuously improving sentence quality while maintaining automated operation. This resolves the reliability issue by enabling the system to learn from actual usage and reduce inappropriate sentences over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the learning model parameters through relearning based on user feedback, allowing it to adapt to specific character traits and improve sentence appropriateness without requiring extensive initial rule development or model training.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Extent of automation

If custom rules and machine learning models are developed for automated conversion, then sentence conversion capability is improved, but development cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomated sentence conversion capabilityVSAvoiddevelopment cost for rules and models
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a general-purpose learning model that adapts to specific character traits through parameter adjustment via user feedback rather than requiring custom-designed rules or specialized models for each character. This reduces development complexity while maintaining high automation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The learning model serves multiple functions: it detects character traits, generates appropriate expressions, and learns from user feedback across different characters and contexts. This universal approach eliminates the need for separate rule sets or models for each character, reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
