Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional genogram templates with multiple symbols are used, then comprehensive family relationship representation is achieved, but user operation complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefamily relationship representation capabilityVSAvoiduser operation complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates genogram symbols and relationships by processing user-provided family information through speech-to-text conversion and generative language models. The system serves itself by automatically interpreting natural language descriptions and converting them into standardized genogram representations without requiring manual symbol selection or configuration by the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of selecting and placing genogram symbols with an automated speech-based system. Users speak natural language descriptions of family relationships, which are then automatically converted into structured data and rendered as visual genograms, eliminating the need for manual interaction with complex symbol libraries and graphical interfaces.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual editing of genogram templates is required, then precise control over genogram elements is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegenogram element control precisionVSAvoidgenogram creation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of family relationship data through speech-to-text conversion and generative language model interpretation before visual generation. By pre-structuring the family information data during the speech processing phase, the system eliminates the need for manual editing and directly generates accurate genograms, significantly reducing creation time while maintaining precision through automated data validation and structure verification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically generates precise genogram representations by processing user speech through multiple conversion stages. The generative language model self-corrects and validates the family relationship data structure, automatically placing symbols and relationships with correct positioning and formatting without requiring manual adjustment or editing by the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If graphical user interface with multiple symbols is provided, then comprehensive genogram functionality is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegenogram functionalityVSAvoidinterface complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complexity of genogram symbol selection and placement from the user interface and relocates it to the backend processing system. The interface is simplified to only require speech input and basic touch interactions, while the complex symbol library, relationship mapping, and graphical rendering functions are handled automatically by the speech-to-text conversion system and generative language models running on the server or device.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method for creating a genogram of a family using touch and voice input includes: in response to a user touching a part of a touchscreen, generating a touch signal indicating a set of coordinates on the touchscreen at which a touch action occurred; recording a voice input from the user, the voice input including speech describing the family; obtaining an input text that is converted from the voice input; obtaining, using a generative language model based on a content of the input text, a genogram dataset in a format that is for generating the genogram; transforming the genogram dataset into a graphical genogram dataset; and creating the genogram based on the graphical genogram dataset, using the set of coordinates as a reference point, the genogram including at least one icon representing a member of the family.
