In this paper, we propose that the idea of devices respecting their end-users may serve as a strong design goal for highly personal and intimate smart devices. We ask what respect is, how it shapes interaction, and how good-faith simulation of respect might inform user-friendly smart device design. Respect is a natural and integral part of natural human relationships that is seen to shape work and personal relations. In a basic sense, this is the core purpose of smart things: we expect them to be ready and willing to help us. In this vein, we distil the characteristics of more complex respectful behaviours into 4 main types relevant to smart devices, drawing from philosophical analyses of the conceptual dimensions of respect: directive respect, obstacle respect, recognition respect, and care respect. We discuss the implications of each of these kinds of respect for the future of smart personal devices.

翻译：本文提出，设备尊重最终用户这一理念可作为高度个性化与亲密型智能设备的强有力设计目标。我们探讨尊重的本质、其如何塑造交互，以及善意的尊重模拟如何指导用户友好型智能设备设计。尊重是自然人际关系中天然且不可或缺的组成部分，被视为塑造工作与个人关系的关键要素。从基本层面而言，这正是智能设备的核心使命——我们期望它们时刻准备并乐于协助人类。基于此，本文从哲学层面分析尊重的概念维度，将复杂尊重行为特征提炼为与智能设备相关的四种主要类型：指令性尊重、障碍性尊重、认可性尊重与关怀性尊重。我们逐一讨论各类尊重对智能个人设备未来发展的启示。
