Electronic Device User Data Segmentation via Sensor Tagging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a multi-user environment, electronic devices often transmit unnecessary data and fail to provide desired information, leading to privacy issues and data confusion among users.
Innovation Solution
A method and electronic device that assign unique identifiers to users, tag sensor-related data with these identifiers, and store them for selective data provision, allowing for personalized data display based on user login.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If sensor data is transmitted to all users in a multi-user environment, then data coverage is improved, but data privacy and accuracy deteriorate due to unnecessary data transmission and inability to distinguish user-specific information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments sensor data by associating each data record with a unique user identifier. The processor divides the collected sensor information into user-specific groups, allowing the system to transmit only relevant data to each user rather than broadcasting all data to all users, thus maintaining data privacy and accuracy while ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the data transmission for each user based on their identifier. Each user receives data with quality and relevance specific to their local context (their own sensor data), rather than receiving generic or other users' data, thereby improving both data coverage and privacy simultaneously.
2Quantity of substance
If electronic devices collect and store sensor data from multiple users, then data completeness is improved, but data management complexity increases due to difficulty in distinguishing and organizing user-specific information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces data management complexity by segmenting sensor data using user identifiers as organizing principles. The memory stores data in a structured manner where each data record is associated with a specific user ID, enabling efficient retrieval and management without requiring complex organizational schemes, thus maintaining data completeness while simplifying management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces user identifiers as an intermediary element between the sensor data and the storage/retrieval system. This intermediary enables automatic organization and distinction of user-specific information, reducing the complexity of data management while ensuring complete data collection and accurate user-specific retrieval.
3Loss of information
If electronic devices transmit all collected data to users, then information availability is improved, but data relevance and user experience deteriorate due to transmission of unnecessary and non-personalized information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing each user with sensor data that is specific to their local context (their own activity data identified by their unique identifier). This ensures that each user receives information that is both available and highly relevant to their personal usage, improving user experience without sacrificing information availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the relevant user-specific sensor data from the complete set of collected data by using user identifiers as selection criteria. The processor extracts and transmits only the data associated with each user's identifier, eliminating unnecessary data transmission while maintaining full availability of relevant information, thus improving both data relevance and user experience.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device, in which two or more users are registered, and a method thereof are provided. The method includes receiving an input, identifying an identifier of at least one user, from among the two or more registered users, corresponding to the received input, acquiring data associated with the identifier through at least one sensor functionally connected to the electronic device, and storing the identifier as at least part of the acquired data.
