Digital Assistant Automated Information Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital assistant systems lack an efficient means to share information items with third parties without further review or instruction from the user.
Innovation Solution
A digital assistant method and system that receives a speech input specifying a second user and an information item to be shared, initiating a background process to search for and send the information item to the second user, potentially based on context data or predetermined conditions, using specified communication means, without additional user review.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a digital assistant system requires further review and instruction from the user for sharing information items with third parties, then user control and security are improved, but user convenience and operational efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining user authorization in advance to share information items with third parties. Once authorized, the digital assistant can automatically search for, retrieve, and send information items without requiring continuous user review or confirmation, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining user control and improving operational convenience
2Measurement precision
If a digital assistant system performs manual review and confirmation steps for information sharing, then accuracy and user intent verification are improved, but processing time and operational complexity worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary intent verification by obtaining explicit user authorization before initiating the information sharing process. After this preliminary verification, the system automatically executes the sharing operation without requiring additional review steps, thus reducing processing time while maintaining intent verification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The digital assistant performs self-service by automatically searching for information items, retrieving them from appropriate sources, and sending them to third parties without requiring continuous user intervention. The system uses the previously obtained authorization to autonomously complete the sharing task, reducing both processing time and operational complexity
3Reliability
If a digital assistant system requires multiple interaction steps for information sharing, then user control and security are improved, but productivity and operational efficiency worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary security verification by obtaining user authorization in advance. This single preliminary step enables subsequent automatic information sharing operations without requiring multiple interaction steps, thus maintaining security while improving operational efficiency and productivity

AI summary
An electronic device with one or more processors and memory includes a procedure for sharing information with a third party recipient. In some embodiments, the device receives a speech input from a first user, the speech input specifying a second user different from the first user, and an information item to be shared with the second user. In response to the speech input, the device initiates a background process during which a digital assistant searches for the information item and causes the information item to be sent to the second user without further review and instruction from the first user.
