Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack the ability to accurately generate visual identifiers from user input associated with perceived stimuli, relying on restrictive tools like numbers and vocabulary that are subjective and difficult to interpret effectively.

Innovation Solution

A web-based system that includes an input classification module, identifier generation module, and communications means to receive and process user input from various sensory sources, converting it into visual or aural identifiers, and generating aggregate identifiers based on user responses and stored data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If numbers and vocabulary are used to describe user responses to stimuli, then the system can capture user input, but the representation becomes restrictive and subjective with different interpretations across individuals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to individual interpretation differencesVSAvoidprecision of stimuli representation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the parameter of stimuli representation from subjective vocabulary/numbers to objective visual identifiers (colors, shapes). This parameter change eliminates interpretation variability while maintaining individual response capture, as visual symbols provide universal meaning across different individuals and cultures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes the mechanical system of verbal description (numbers and vocabulary) with a visual identification system. This replacement eliminates the ambiguity inherent in language while preserving the ability to capture and represent user responses to stimuli.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If visual identifiers are used to represent stimuli, then the representation becomes more universal and less subjective, but there is currently no system to generate these identifiers from user input

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of stimuli representationVSAvoidcomplexity of identifier generation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the identifier generation process into distinct functional modules: an input classification module that processes user input, and an identifier generation module that creates visual identifiers. This segmentation manages system complexity by organizing functions into manageable, independent components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces language component data as an intermediary between user input and visual identifiers. This intermediary layer processes and structures raw input before generating final visual representations, simplifying the overall transformation process and making the system more manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If text input is received from users to describe their response to stimuli, then the system can capture detailed user feedback, but converting this text into visual identifiers adds processing complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retention from user inputVSAvoidcomplexity of text to visual conversion process
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses language component data as an intermediary structure that bridges text input and visual identifier generation. This intermediary format preserves the informational content of user responses while providing a structured basis for systematic visual representation, reducing the complexity of the conversion process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the complex task of direct text-to-visual conversion with a two-stage process: text-to-language-component transformation, then language-component-to-visual-generation. This substitution breaks down the complex conversion mechanism into simpler, more manageable stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present invention generally relates to systems for generating identifiers. In particular, the systems and methods herein are configured to generate visual and/or aural identifiers for representing user response to stimuli. In a preferred embodiment, visual identifiers are generated from primary colors or shapes, wherein the primary colors and/or shapes can be blended or modified based on strength/weakness of the stimuli experienced by a user or across a plurality of users, while aural identifiers are generated from musical notes from any source such as preprogrammed stored notes or notes played live. Preferred embodiments of the invention are further configured to receive text or other non-visual identifier from a user in order to describe the response the user has to a stimuli; wherein the associated system is configured to convert the described response into an appropriate identifier.
