Enabling On-Device LLMs Personalization with Smartphone Sensing

This demo presents a novel end-to-end framework that combines on-device LLMs with smartphone sensing technologies to achieve context-aware and personalized services. The framework addresses critical limitations of current personalization solutions via cloud-based LLMs, such as privacy concerns, latency and cost, and limited personal sensor data. To achieve this, we innovatively proposed deploying LLMs on smartphones with multimodal sensor data and customized prompt engineering, ensuring privacy and enhancing personalization performance through context-aware sensing. A case study involving a university student demonstrated the proposed framework's capability to provide tailored recommendations. In addition, we show that the proposed framework achieves the best trade-off in privacy, performance, latency, cost, battery and energy consumption between on-device and cloud LLMs. Future work aims to integrate more diverse sensor data and conduct large-scale user studies to further refine the personalization. We envision the proposed framework could significantly improve user experiences in various domains such as healthcare, productivity, and entertainment by providing secure, context-aware, and efficient interactions directly on users' devices.
