Apple patents phone feature to collect data for AI training
Apple describes a system where a phone tells a network it can gather specific data to help train artificial intelligence models. The phone checks the identity of the server requesting the data before sending the collected information in batches.
In the filing’s own words
A UE may send a UE capability report to a network node. The UE capability report may indicate that the UE supports logged data collection for artificial intelligence (AI) training. The network node may send the UE a data collection request. The UE may verify data collector credentials of a data collection server corresponding to the network node. The UE may send logged data to the network node in a batch with other additional data samples collected at a different time than the measurements and the related information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising: sending a UE capability report to a network node, the UE capability report indicating that the UE supports logged data collection for artificial intelligence (AI) training; receiving, from the network node, a data collection request; receiving data collector credentials for a data collection server corresponding to the network node; verifying the data collector credentials; performing measurements and collecting related information to generate logged data; and sending the logged data to the network node.
