Solution Overview

Problem

Existing intelligent devices with different AI engines in a network can only utilize their own intelligence engines, limiting user customization and efficiency in processing diverse user preferences.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for sharing intelligence engines across multiple devices, involving a cloud server that identifies instruction types and selects a preferred intelligence engine based on user preferences and device capabilities, processing instructions through end-to-end or cloud-based transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If each device uses only its own intelligence engine, then device compatibility is maintained, but user customization capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser customization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the intelligence engine functionality by separating the engine core from the device platform. Each device maintains its native engine while the cloud server segments and distributes appropriate engine capabilities to different devices based on user preferences and instruction types, enabling customization without requiring each device to contain all engine types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A cloud server acts as an intermediary between devices with different intelligence engines. The server receives instructions from any device, identifies the appropriate engine type needed, selects the optimal device to process the instruction, and coordinates the response back to the user. This mediator enables cross-device engine sharing while maintaining individual device simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple intelligence engines are deployed across devices, then processing capability is improved, but system coordination complexity worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstruction processing capabilityVSAvoidsystem coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server serves as a central coordinator that manages multiple intelligence engines across different devices. It maintains a registry of available engines, matches instruction types to appropriate engines, and routes tasks efficiently. This centralized coordination reduces the complexity burden on individual devices while enabling sophisticated multi-engine processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud server implements a universal coordination mechanism that works across diverse device types and intelligence engines. It provides a unified interface for receiving instructions, a universal method for identifying engine types, and a standardized process for selecting and managing engine execution, enabling the system to handle various engine combinations without device-specific complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If intelligence engines are shared across devices, then user preference satisfaction is improved, but device communication overhead worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference satisfactionVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by having devices pre-register their intelligence engine types and capabilities with the cloud server. User preferences for different engine types are pre-configured and stored. When an instruction arrives, the system quickly matches the instruction type against pre-stored preferences and device capabilities, avoiding real-time analysis delays and enabling rapid engine selection and task routing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
