Problem

Existing AI systems require manual prompting and lack mechanisms for customizing and initiating tasks related to digital content, leading to inefficiencies in automation.

Innovation Solution

An asynchronous generative AI task system that automatically monitors digital content for trigger conditions, generates prompts based on predefined tasks, and executes actions using large language models to transform content efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual prompting is used in existing AI systems, then users can control and customize tasks, but workflow efficiency and automation capability deteriorate due to manual intervention requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual controlVSAvoidworkflow efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining tasks with trigger conditions and associated actions before execution. Users configure tasks in advance with specific triggers (e.g., file uploads, email arrivals) and predefined actions (e.g., transformations, notifications). When triggers occur, the system automatically executes the corresponding actions without requiring manual prompting, thus maintaining operational control while significantly improving workflow efficiency and automation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If existing AI systems operate without trigger conditions, then system simplicity is maintained, but automation capability and task initiation mechanisms deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidautomation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the automation mechanism into distinct modular components: trigger condition definitions, task configurations, and action executions. Each task is an independent unit with its own trigger conditions and actions. This modular segmentation enables the system to achieve high automation capability through configurable task rules while maintaining relative simplicity by avoiding complex centralized control logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If asynchronous generative AI transformation is implemented, then content generation efficiency improves, but system complexity and processing requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent generation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary layer consisting of task configuration interfaces and trigger monitoring mechanisms that mediate between user requirements and the generative AI model. Users define high-level task rules and trigger conditions through configurable interfaces, and the intermediary layer translates these into appropriate prompts for the generative AI model. This intermediary abstraction shields users from the underlying system complexity while enabling efficient asynchronous content generation through automated task execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A data processing system implements receiving, via an application services platform, a automatically monitoring changes to an interactive canvas of a digital content creation application being executed on a client device, wherein the digital content includes any of text, audio, video, or structured file, determining, based on the monitored changes, that a change to the interactive canvas corresponds to a trigger condition for a task, generating a prompt based on the trigger condition and the function in the task, transmitting the prompt to a largescale language generative model, generating a transformed digital content, and transmitting the transformed digital content to the client device to be displayed on a user interface of the client device.
