Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods using generative AI for design deliverables often result in outputs that differ from the user's intent, requiring repetitive prompt modifications and image format limitations, which are difficult for non-experts to navigate.

Innovation Solution

A visual interaction method between users and generative AI, allowing input of prompts in image format, automatic review of deliverables, and modification of design elements through a code editing interface, with semantic analysis for prompt specificity and compliance with design and security guidelines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users input detailed text prompts to specify design deliverables, then the precision of design intent is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates for non-expert users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign intent precisionVSAvoiduser operation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an image upload interface as an intermediary between the user and the generative AI system. Instead of requiring users to craft detailed text prompts, they can directly upload reference images that convey their design intent. The system then processes these images to generate appropriate design deliverables, eliminating the need for users to understand complex prompt engineering while maintaining high precision in capturing their intent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the text-based prompt input mechanism with an image-based input mechanism. By substituting the mechanical process of text composition and prompt engineering with a visual image upload process, the system makes the interface more intuitive and accessible to non-expert users while preserving or enhancing the precision of design intent communication.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If users repeatedly modify prompts to achieve desired deliverables, then the manufacturing precision of design output is improved, but the loss of time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign output precisionVSAvoidtime for prompt modification
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables users to perform preliminary action by uploading reference images that pre-encode their design intent. Instead of iteratively modifying text prompts to gradually approach the desired outcome, the user's initial image upload already contains the complete design specification, allowing the generative AI to produce accurate results in a single pass or with minimal iterations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes image copying as a direct representation of design intent. By allowing users to upload existing images as prompts, the system captures the exact visual characteristics and design elements the user desires, eliminating the need for repeated textual descriptions and modifications to achieve the desired output precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If generative AI provides completed image format deliverables, then the productivity of design output is improved, but the ease of modification deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign output speedVSAvoidimage modification ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic modification capabilities that allow users to interact with and adjust generated images after initial creation. The system enables post-generation editing where users can modify specific elements, parameters, or characteristics of the delivered images, transforming the static delivery process into a dynamic, iterative refinement process that maintains both high productivity and ease of modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by allowing users to modify specific portions or elements of the generated images rather than requiring complete regeneration. This enables targeted adjustments to particular design elements while preserving the rest of the image, making the modification process more efficient and easier to control while maintaining the overall productivity benefits of AI-generated content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Reliability

If the system provides comprehensive review and modification interfaces, then the reliability of design deliverables is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeliverable complianceVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automated review mechanisms that provide feedback on generated deliverables to ensure they meet design guidelines and requirements. The system automatically evaluates the output images against predefined criteria and provides guidance for improvements, enhancing reliability without requiring complex manual review interfaces, as the feedback loop is integrated into the generation process itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
