Sony patents method to customize smart device sensors using Wasm technology
Sony has filed a patent for a method that uses Wasm technology to customize how sensors work in smart devices. The system deploys a trained mathematical model and a post-processing program, compiled into a Wasm program, to handle sensor data. It uses a specific interface based on WASI specifications to allow the program to access and operate the sensor.
In the filing’s own words
The present invention relates to a method for customizing a sensor function based on Wasm technology, which comprises: providing a mathematical model trained for a sensor in a smart device and a post-processing program customized for the mathematical model, wherein the post-processing program is configured to perform post-processing on an output data of the mathematical model; deploying the mathematical model in the smart device; compiling the post-processing program into a Wasm program and deploying the Wasm program in the smart device; providing, in the smart device, an interface defined based on WASI specifications, via which the Wasm program can access and operate the sensor. In addition, the present invention relates to a smart device comprising a sensor, wherein the function of the sensor is customized using the method according to the present invention.
