AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing multi-user communication session systems cannot effectively distinguish whether information requests should be shared with all users (public interaction) or only with the requesting user (private interaction), resulting in inappropriate output.

Method used

By detecting user call input and search input in the computing system, and using a public-private interaction engine to determine the input criteria, it decides whether to transmit information to all users or only to specific users, thus realizing public or private interaction.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables accurate public or private responses based on different user requests or movement, improving the accuracy of information transmission and user experience in multi-user communication sessions.
