Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional artificial intelligence assistant functions are not easily transferable between devices, limiting their use to previously registered devices and preventing seamless integration with different AI assistants.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device is equipped with a communication and processing system that allows it to request and transmit identification information for an AI assistant function to another device, enabling the use of a user's preferred AI assistant on external devices through a guest mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an artificial intelligence assistant function is tied to a previously registered device, then the device can provide personalized AI services, but the user cannot use the AI assistant function on other devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidsetup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a guest mode that copies the AI assistant function from a host device to a guest device. The guest device can access and use the AI assistant functionality without being a previously registered device, effectively creating a temporary copy of the service capability. This allows users to use their AI assistant on external devices while maintaining the original device binding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a communication module as an intermediary that facilitates interaction between the guest device and the host device's AI assistant service. This intermediary enables the guest device to transmit user commands to the host device and receive responses, bridging the gap between unregistered devices and the personalized AI service.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If a user wants to use their preferred AI assistant on an external device, then convenience is improved, but additional setup and registration are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage convenienceVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The host device pre-configures the AI assistant service and stores necessary service information that can be accessed by guest devices. The authentication mechanism is pre-established, allowing guest devices to quickly connect and use the AI assistant without requiring time-consuming registration or configuration steps during actual use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service authentication where the guest device can automatically authenticate with the host device's AI assistant service using pre-shared credentials or device identification. This eliminates the need for manual setup and registration, allowing users to simply activate guest mode and start using the AI assistant immediately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
