Sony patents device that shares sensor data based on environment
Sony describes an information processing device that checks the current state of its surroundings using an environment determination unit. When the environment is in a specific state, the device processes sensor data locally and sends both the raw sensor readings and the processed results to an external device.
In the filing’s own words
An information processing device includes: an environment determination unit that determines a state of an environment; a recognition processing unit that performs recognition processing on the basis of a detection result of a sensor; and a communication unit that performs communication processing with an external device, in which in a case where the environment is in a first state, the recognition processing unit performs recognition processing on the basis of the detection result of the sensor, and the communication unit transmits the detection result of the sensor and the recognition result of the recognition processing unit to the external device.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing device comprising: an environment determination unit that determines a state of an environment; a recognition processing unit that performs recognition processing on a basis of a detection result of a sensor; and a communication unit that performs communication processing with an external device, wherein in a case where the environment is in a first state, the recognition processing unit performs recognition processing on a basis of the detection result of the sensor, and the communication unit transmits the detection result of the sensor and the recognition result of the recognition processing unit to the external device.
