Shared-to-Personal Action Transfer for Sensitive Assistant Requests
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to seamlessly transition actions from shared devices to personal devices associated with a user without explicit user input, leading to inefficiencies and potential security risks, especially when sensitive information is involved.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that determines the user's presence and associates them with personal devices, allowing actions to be rerouted automatically based on sensor data and voice recognition, ensuring sensitive information is handled securely on personal devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If actions are transferred automatically from shared devices to personal devices based on user presence detection, then user convenience and security are improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes associations between users and their personal devices, and pre-configures the automated assistant across multiple devices. This preliminary setup enables automatic action transfer without requiring complex real-time decision-making logic during operation, reducing system complexity while maintaining user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated assistant autonomously detects user presence changes and automatically transfers actions between devices without requiring user intervention. The system monitors sensor data, determines user co-presence, and executes transfer decisions independently, simplifying the user experience while managing system complexity through automated self-service mechanisms.
2Measurement precision
If continuous sensor monitoring is implemented to detect user presence, then action transfer accuracy is improved, but computing resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous monitoring, the system implements periodic presence detection by checking sensor data at specific intervals or triggered by events (such as user utterances or device state changes). This periodic approach maintains detection accuracy for action transfer decisions while significantly reducing computing resource consumption compared to continuous monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses sensor data as an intermediary to indirectly determine user presence rather than directly continuously monitoring user state. By processing sensor readings (microphone, camera, motion sensors) as intermediary indicators, the system achieves accurate presence detection with lower resource consumption than direct continuous user state monitoring.
3Reliability
If explicit user commands are required to transfer actions between devices, then system security is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of explicit user confirmation required based on contextual factors such as the sensitivity of the action, the trust relationship with the target device, and the user's historical behavior patterns. For routine or low-risk actions, automatic transfer occurs without explicit commands, enhancing convenience. For sensitive or high-risk actions, explicit user confirmation is required, maintaining security. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction between security and convenience.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This approach reduces the need for explicit user commands to transfer actions, conserves computing resources, and enhances security by ensuring sensitive information is processed on private devices, maintaining user privacy and security.
Implementation Method 1
determining, based on sensor data generated by one or more sensors of the shared device, an identifier of the user that is co-present with the shared device
Implementation Method 2
determining, based on the sensor data from the one or more sensors, that one or more other users are co-present with the shared device
Data Source
AI summary
Implementations relate to transferring actions from a shared device to a personal device that is associated with an account of a user. Some implementations relate to determining that a request is associated with sensitive information, determining that one or more other users are co-present with the shared device, and transferring the request that is related to sensitive information to a personal device of the user. Some implementations relate determining that a user is no longer co-present with a shared device that is currently performing one or more actions and transferring one or more of the actions to a personal device that is associated with an account of the user.
