Amazon patents system to sync user profiles across multiple devices
This patent describes a method for managing user profiles on different devices linked to the same customer account. It allows a device to detect when a profile is active or removed on another device and update its own display to show the correct user's information and preferences.
In the filing’s own words
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for user profile management across multiple devices. A method may include determining, by a first device, that the first device is signed into a customer account; determining that the customer account includes a first user profile and a second user profile, the first user profile having first identity data, and the second user profile having second identity data; determining that third identity data for the first user profile is available for presentation, the third identity data based on a user interaction with a second device; determining that the first user profile is enrolled on the first device; presenting the first identity data using the first device; receiving a second user request to access the first user profile; and presenting, using the first device, content based on the second user request and a user preference associated with the first user profile.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method, comprising: determining, by at least one processor, that a first device is signed into a customer account comprising a first user profile associated with a first user; publishing, by the at least one processor, using a computing instance, based on a user interaction with a second device, an event indicating that a second user profile of the customer account has been removed from the first device, the second user profile associated with a second user different than the first user; and causing presentation at the first device, by the at least one processor, based on publishing the event, identity data for the first user profile and not for the second user profile.
