Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices are limited in detecting dynamic human behaviors and violate user privacy by requiring data storage on servers, failing to decentralize behavior curation and capture emotion correlations effectively.

Innovation Solution

A Federated Learning approach using smart device usage data to detect user behaviors, predict next actions, and provide behavioral recommendations while maintaining user privacy through joint probability distribution tables and emotion correlation analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data is stored on server from user's electronic device for training pre-trained models, then behavior detection capability is improved, but user privacy is violated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior detection capabilityVSAvoiduser privacy violation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the behavior detection process into distributed components: each electronic device performs local behavior detection and emotion recognition independently, while only aggregated statistics are shared with the server. This segmentation eliminates the need to store raw user data on the server, resolving the privacy violation issue while maintaining detection capability through local processing and decentralized learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If pre-trained models are used for detecting basic activities, then detection functionality is provided, but dynamic human behaviors cannot be captured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection functionalityVSAvoiddynamic behavior capture
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static pre-trained models to dynamic emotion-correlation-based detection. Each electronic device continuously learns from local emotion data and updates its behavior detection capabilities in real-time. The server aggregates these updates to create evolving detection models that adapt to new and dynamic human behaviors, enabling the system to capture both basic activities and complex dynamic behaviors effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If centralized server processes all user data for behavior analysis, then comprehensive behavior curation is achieved, but device complexity and data security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior curation completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity and security risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each electronic device performs self-service behavior detection and emotion recognition using its own sensors and processors. The devices independently curate their own behavior data and generate local models without requiring constant server intervention. This self-service approach reduces reliance on centralized processing, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining comprehensive behavior curation through distributed contribution of local insights to the global model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
