  "title": "How a Cloud Server Manages AI Services on Local Edge Devices",
  "original_title": "Service management method and system, and configuration server and edge computing device",
  "summary": "This patent describes a system where a central cloud server helps set up and run Artificial Intelligence tasks on local devices, like smart cameras, by sending them specific AI programs and then displaying the results.",
  "what_it_does": "This system allows a cloud-based configuration server to manage Artificial Intelligence (AI) services on local edge computing devices. The configuration server provides a web page where a user can specify which edge computing device, terminal device, and AI service are needed. An AI service, which includes one or more 'edge applications,' is then deployed by the cloud server onto the chosen edge computing device, as described in claim 1. The edge computing device then acquires a multimedia data stream from a terminal device, like a camera, and uses the deployed AI application to process this data, performing 'application inference' to get a result. This result is sent back to the configuration server and then displayed on a connected display device. For example, a cloud server could deploy a facial recognition AI application to a local smart camera (edge device) to analyze video (multimedia data stream) from the camera (terminal device), then display alerts on a screen.",
  "what_it_does_not_cover": [
    "Does not cover systems where the AI service runs entirely on the cloud server without deployment to a local edge computing device, as claim 1 specifies the edge device performs inference.",
    "Does not cover systems where the terminal device does not provide a 'multimedia data stream,' as this is explicitly required by claim 1 for the edge device to acquire.",
    "Does not cover deployment methods that do not involve generating a configuration file, acquiring an executable file, a dynamic library, and an algorithm model, as specified in claims 2 and 3.",
    "Does not cover systems where the configuration server, edge computing device, terminal device, and display device are all located in the same cloud environment, as claim 1 specifies edge, terminal, and display are 'local devices' and the server is a 'cloud device'.",
    "Does not cover systems deploying non-AI services or applications that are not considered 'edge applications' within an AI service context."
