Media Arbitration - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18506085 titled 'Media Arbitration

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves using media arbitration to resolve conflicts between two assistant-enabled devices performing long-standing operations.

  • The method determines if the two devices satisfy a co-presence condition and if their operations conflict.
  • If a conflict is identified, an operation arbitration routine is executed to find compromise operations for the devices to perform.
  • The devices are then instructed to perform the selected compromise operation to resolve the conflict.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Media arbitration method for resolving conflicts between assistant-enabled devices.
  • Identification of compromise operations to resolve conflicts.
  • Instructions for devices to perform compromise operations.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various scenarios where multiple assistant-enabled devices need to coordinate their operations to avoid conflicts.

Problems Solved

  • Resolving conflicts between assistant-enabled devices performing long-standing operations.
  • Efficient coordination of tasks between multiple devices.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency in device coordination.
  • Reduction of conflicts and interruptions in device operations.

Commercial Applications

  • Smart home automation systems.
  • Multi-device productivity tools.
  • Collaborative robotics systems.

Prior Art

Further research can be conducted in the field of media arbitration and device coordination to explore existing technologies and patents related to this area.

Frequently Updated Research

Media arbitration can be used in smart home automation to coordinate tasks between multiple devices efficiently.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method using media arbitration includes, while a first assistant-enabled device is performing a first long-standing operation, determining the first assistant-enabled device satisfies a co-presence condition with a second assistant-enabled device, and determining that the second assistant-enabled device is performing a second long-standing operation that conflicts with the first long-standing operation performed by the first assistant-enabled device. Based on determining that the first long-standing operation and the second long-standing operation conflict, the method also includes executing an operation arbitration routine to identify one or more compromise operations for at least one of the first assistant-enabled device or the second assistant-enabled device to perform, and instructing the first assistant-enabled device or the second assistant-enabled device to perform a selected compromise operation among the identified compromise operations.
