INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18571735 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that manages a rule for cooperation between multiple devices. The device acquires user operation information on a first device, infers a rule with a trigger condition for cooperation on a second device, notifies the user of the rule, and performs the cooperation device operation based on the rule when the trigger condition is met.

  • The device includes processing circuitry to manage a rule for cooperation between multiple devices.
  • It acquires device operation information indicating user operation on a first device.
  • The device infers a rule with a trigger condition for starting a cooperation device operation on a second device.
  • It notifies the user of the rule and acquires response information regarding whether to register the rule or not.
  • The device performs the cooperation device operation based on the rule when the trigger condition is satisfied.
  • The processing circuitry registers the rule when the response information indicates approval for the registration of the rule.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smart home systems, IoT devices, and collaborative work environments where seamless cooperation between devices is essential.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of manual coordination between devices by automating the process based on predefined rules, enhancing user experience and efficiency.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device determine the trigger condition for starting a cooperation device operation on the second device?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how the trigger condition is determined. Further information on the criteria used to define the trigger condition would be helpful for a better understanding of the technology.

What types of response information are typically acquired from the terminal regarding the registration of the rule?

The abstract mentions acquiring response information regarding whether to register the rule or not from the terminal. More details on the specific types of responses and the decision-making process based on this information would provide a clearer picture of the technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device includes processing circuitry to manage a rule regarding cooperation of a plurality of devices, to acquire device operation information indicating a user operation on a first device and to infer the rule including a trigger condition as a condition for starting a cooperation device operation on a second device; to notify the terminal of an inquiry including the inferred rule via the communication unit and to acquire response information regarding whether to register the rule or not from the terminal; and to perform the cooperation device operation based on the rule when the device operation information satisfying the trigger condition included in the registered rule is inputted to the first device, wherein the processing circuitry registers the rule when the response information indicates approval for the registration of the rule, and performs the cooperation device operation based on the registered rule.
