Apple patents method to group wireless data for consistent AI models
Apple describes a system where a device receives instructions from a network to collect specific data using unique identifiers. The device analyzes this data to determine if different identifiers can be grouped together to help train a general artificial intelligence model. It then sends this grouping information back to the network.
In the filing’s own words
An apparatus configured to process, based on signaling from a network, a configuration comprising at least a first data collection configuration with a first associated identifier (ID) and a second data collection configuration with a second associated ID, determine, based at least on first data with the first associated ID and second data with the second associated ID, that the first associated ID and the second associated ID can be grouped for a general model and generate, for transmission to the network, a grouping including the first associated ID and the second associated ID.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An apparatus comprising memory coupled to processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to: process, based on signaling from a network, a configuration comprising at least a first data collection configuration with a first associated identifier (ID) and a second data collection configuration with a second associated ID; determine, based at least on first data with the first associated ID and second data with the second associated ID, that the first associated ID and the second associated ID can be grouped for a general model; and generate, for transmission to the network, a grouping including the first associated ID and the second associated ID.
