==HUB DEVICE, MULTI-DEVICE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE HUB DEVICE AND PLURALITY OF DEVICES, AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE HUB DEVICE AND MULTI-DEVICE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129567 titled 'HUB DEVICE, MULTI-DEVICE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE HUB DEVICE AND PLURALITY OF DEVICES, AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE HUB DEVICE AND MULTI-DEVICE SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method for a hub device to store a voice assistant model for controlling a device. The method involves receiving information about a connected device, updating a device determination model, receiving a function determination model, and storing it in the hub device if necessary.

* Receiving information about a connected device
* Updating the device determination model
* Receiving a function determination model
* Determining whether to store the function determination model in the hub device
* Storing the function determination model in the hub device if necessary

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in smart home systems, IoT devices, and voice-controlled devices to enhance the user experience and improve device control efficiency.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and controlling multiple devices through a central hub, making it easier for users to interact with various smart devices in their environment.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved device control, streamlined user experience, and enhanced integration of voice assistants with connected devices.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include smart home automation systems, IoT device management platforms, and voice assistant-enabled devices for consumer and industrial use.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of central hubs in smart home systems to control multiple devices and manage device interactions efficiently.

=== What are the security measures in place to protect the stored models in the hub device? ===

The security measures to protect the stored models in the hub device may include encryption of data, secure authentication protocols, regular software updates to patch vulnerabilities, and access control mechanisms to restrict unauthorized access to the device.

=== How does the hub device communicate with the voice assistant server to update and receive the necessary models? ===

The hub device communicates with the voice assistant server through secure communication protocols such as HTTPS, API calls, or other network communication methods to update and receive the necessary device determination and function determination models.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a method, performed by a hub device, of storing a voice assistant model for controlling a device includes receiving information about a first device connected to the hub device, requesting a voice assistant server to update a device determination model stored in the hub device; receiving the updated device determination model from the voice assistant server and storing the received updated device determination model; requesting, from the voice assistant server, information about a function determination model corresponding to the first device; receiving the information about the function determination model corresponding to the first device from the voice assistant server, and determining whether to store the function determination model in the hub device based on the received information; and based on the function determination model being determined to be stored in the hub device, storing, in the hub device, the function determination model corresponding to the first device.
