Samsung patents system that picks the right device for AI tasks
Samsung has filed a patent for a system that decides where to run an artificial intelligence task based on its specific needs. When a request comes in, the system checks the task's characteristics to determine if it should be handled by the local device or sent to a connected second device.
In the filing’s own words
A system comprising a processing circuit; and a memory storing instructions, which, based on being executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to perform: receiving, on a first device, a first request to perform a first artificial intelligence (AI) task; determining a first set of characteristics based on the first request; performing the AI task on the first device based on determining the first set of characteristics; receiving, on the first device, a second request to perform a second AI task; determining a second set of characteristics based on the second request; and based on determining the second set of characteristics, transmitting by the first device to a second device communicatively coupled to the first device, information on the second AI task to signal the second device to perform the second AI task.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a first computing environment, a request to perform an artificial intelligence (AI) task; selecting at least one computing environment from one or more computing environments for performing the AI task based on a set of characteristics associated with the AI task; and transmitting a command to the at least one selected computing environment to perform the AI task.
