Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional artificial intelligence assistant functions are limited in that users cannot seamlessly utilize their preferred AI assistant on devices they did not initially set up or on devices with different AI assistant systems.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with an input, communication, and processor component can request and receive identification information for an AI assistant function from another device, allowing users to access and control their preferred AI assistant on external devices through a guest mode, enabling the transmission of user commands and maintaining user authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an artificial intelligence assistant function is limited to a previously registered device, then device security and data privacy are maintained, but user convenience and accessibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guest mode as an intermediary mechanism that allows external devices to access the AI assistant function without full device registration. The host device acts as a mediator by transmitting identification information (call word) to the external device, enabling limited access while maintaining security boundaries. This resolves the contradiction by providing convenient access (improving ease of operation) without requiring complex full device setup (avoiding device complexity increase).
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring the AI assistant function on the host device before external access is needed. The identification information including the call word is prepared in advance on the host device, allowing external devices to seamlessly connect without requiring setup procedures. This eliminates setup complexity for external devices while maintaining security through pre-established authentication credentials.
2Adaptability or versatility
If an artificial intelligence assistant function is restricted to a specific device, then data security and user privacy are protected, but adaptability and cross-device usability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the AI assistant access rights into different levels: full access for registered devices and limited guest access for external devices. The guest mode creates a segmented access layer that transmits only identification information (call word) rather than full device credentials. This segmentation enables cross-device usability while maintaining data security by limiting the scope of access permissions for external devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by providing different access qualities to different devices. Registered devices receive full access quality with complete AI assistant functionality, while external devices receive a tailored guest mode quality with limited access through transmitted call words. This differentiated quality approach enables versatile cross-device usage while maintaining security appropriate to each access level.
3Ease of operation
If a guest mode is implemented to allow external device access, then user accessibility and convenience are improved, but system complexity and authentication requirements are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential authentication element (call word) from the complete device registration process. Instead of requiring full device pairing and complex authentication protocols, the system extracts and transmits only the call word identification information to external devices. This extraction simplifies the guest mode implementation while maintaining accessibility, reducing system complexity by focusing on the minimal necessary authentication credential.
4Adaptability or versatility
If identification information is transmitted to external devices, then cross-device AI assistant usage is enabled, but data retention risks and privacy concerns are introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system treats the transmitted identification information (call word) as a disposable, short-living credential. The call word is transmitted temporarily to enable guest mode access on external devices without creating permanent data retention. This approach enables AI assistant portability across devices while minimizing privacy risks, as the authentication credential is used temporarily and does not require persistent storage on external devices.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device and a control method therefor are disclosed. The disclosed electronic device includes an input part, a communication part, a processor, and a memory, wherein the memory may include instructions for controlling the communication part such that the processor requests identification information including a call word for using an artificial intelligence assistant function to another electronic device when an event for requesting configuration of a first mode in which the artificial intelligence assistant function of the other electronic device can be used occurs, for controlling the communication part to receive the identification information from the other electronic device through the communication part in response to the request, and transmit a user command to the other electronic device based on the identification information if the user command is received during operation of the first mode of the artificial intelligence assistant.
