Personal Daemon Accelerated Training via Pre-trained Models
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monolithic online services that provide personalized assistance to multiple users face challenges in securing personal information while offering high personalization, leading to decreased personal security and potential misuse of user data, as they need to monetize user information by sharing it with third parties.
Innovation Solution
A personal daemon operating on a user's mobile computing device, which monitors and learns user activities, maintains personal information, and provides assistance based on user-defined heuristics without sharing data with third parties unless explicitly directed, thus enhancing personal security and trust.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a personal daemon is trained from a blank slate to provide personalized assistance, then personalization accuracy is improved, but training time is excessive and delays service delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training personal daemon models offline before deployment. Multiple personal daemon models are trained in advance using diverse user data, creating a library of pre-trained models that can be quickly assigned to users without requiring lengthy on-device training. This resolves the contradiction by performing the time-consuming training operation before the service is actually needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating multiple personal daemon model instances that can be replicated and assigned to different users. Instead of training a unique model for each user from scratch, the system copies pre-trained model architectures and adapts them to individual users through lighter-weight fine-tuning or configuration, dramatically reducing training time while maintaining personalization accuracy.
2Productivity
If personal information is shared with third parties to monetize the service, then service funding is improved, but personal security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the personal information processing into separate functional components: data collection, model training, and service delivery. User data remains on-device and is used only to train local personal daemon models, which then operate autonomously without requiring continuous data sharing. This segmentation allows the service to be self-sufficient and reduces the need to share personal information with third parties for monetization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service through on-device machine learning models that perform personalization locally without requiring external services. The personal daemon models run autonomously on user devices, processing and acting on user information independently. This self-service capability reduces dependency on third-party data processing services, thereby improving personal security while maintaining service functionality.

AI summary
Systems and methods of a personal daemon, executing as a background process on a mobile computing device, for providing personal assistant to an associated user is presented. While the personal daemon maintains personal information corresponding to the associated user, the personal daemon is configured to not share the personal information of the associated user with any other entity other than the associated user except under conditions of heuristics and behaviors established by the associated user. The personal daemon monitors and analyzes the actions of the associated user to determine additional personal information of the associated user. Additionally, upon receiving one or more notices of events from a plurality of sensors associated with the mobile computing device, the personal daemon executes a personal assistance action on behalf of the associated user.
