Description

A detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of privacy protection, and particularly relates to a detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, electronic commerce has gradually become popular, and the corresponding network supervision technology is not perfect enough, so that personal privacy is easily leaked in network transactions, which has become a serious social problem. The phenomenon of personal privacy leakage not only exists in the network, but also exists in people's real life, especially the disease detection and genetic detection services involving personal privacy. In the detection process, there are many links that may expose personal privacy to the network, and even more, some detection institutions will illegally sell patients' information and detection results, so that patients who are already suffering from diseases have to suffer the loss of personal property and the threat to the person.

[0003] At present, the industry chain of disease detection and genetic detection services is very mature. The detection person (i.e. consumer) has a huge demand for detection service projects that can be purchased through various channels such as e-commerce platforms, physical stores, detection agency websites, etc., such as genetic testing, paternity testing, kinship testing, AIDS and STD testing, etc. However, all online payment methods, including various mobile payments and bank cards, are real-name systems, which will expose the personal privacy of the detection person and cause personal privacy leakage. Especially for detection involving personal privacy, such as personal paternity testing, AIDS testing, STD testing, and consumer-level genetic testing, as well as the purchase of goods involving personal privacy, such as AIDS test paper (HIV test paper), STD test paper, drug test paper, adult products, and personal private care products, privacy leakage will cause great harm and risk to consumers.

[0004] The existing genetic detection sampling tools all have obvious sample identification codes, that is, the sample identification code is already obviously present before the detection person pays. As shown in FIG. 2, since the payment information is directly associated with the personal real identity, and the sample identification code is directly associated with the genetic detection data, in the real transaction, the detection service provider and each party in the sales channel can obviously know the payment information of the detection person and the sample identification code on the sampling tool. The genetic detection data associated with the personal real identity is thus exposed, which is the fundamental reason for personal privacy leakage in genetic detection.

[0005] There is a patent application (application number: CN202210514123.1) that proposes a method for online anonymous detection and shopping using coupons and intelligent express cabinets. However, this method requires the submitter to purchase a coupon with a disposable coating in advance, which increases an operation link compared to the normal process, increases the waiting time, and affects the consumer experience. At the same time, this method completely relies on the pick-up code of the intelligent express cabinet, and cannot be applied when there is no intelligent express cabinet or the intelligent express cabinet does not support inputting the pick-up code.

[0006] Therefore, the present inventors, based on years of production and design experience in this field and related fields, have designed a detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage through repeated testing to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to provide a more simplified detection method, allowing the submitter to purchase and use genetic testing services without revealing personal privacy, as well as other detection services or goods that may involve personal privacy.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the present application provides a detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage, wherein the submitter purchases genetic testing services provided by the detection service provider (including sampling tools), and after receiving the sampling tools, anonymously obtains a sample identification code, uses the sample identification code as the unique identifier of the submitter, and realizes the circulation of detection services and detection information through the genetic testing services and the sample identification code.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following characteristics and advantages:

[0011] The detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage proposed by the present application allows the submitter to purchase genetic testing services in real name, but since the sample identification code is obtained anonymously by the submitter, no one except the submitter himself can associate the payment information with the sample identification code, and therefore the real identity of the submitter and the genetic testing data cannot be associated, thus truly protecting the relevant personal privacy of the submitter.

[0012] The detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage provided by the present application, after the sample identification code obtained anonymously, the detection information circulation can be carried out, and the service content can be modified and secondarily selected. Since the sample identification code is obtained anonymously by the sample person after purchasing the genetic detection service, and is used as the unique identifier to complete the whole detection process in the subsequent service process, it can ensure that no one can know the correspondence between the identity information and the detection result of the sample person except the sample person himself, and the personal privacy is truly protected. The present application not only eliminates the cumbersome steps in other methods, but also ingeniously cuts off the direct association between the sample identification code and the payment information, further simplifies the operation required by the user when using the service, and reduces the cumbersome links in the detection process. This will help to promote the change of medical and health concept, from passive treatment to active prevention.

[0013] Another significant effect of the present application is that, according to the characteristics of different types of genetic detection and large price difference, different price genetic detection service projects can be designed, so that the sample person can convert the genetic detection service into other service projects such as personal paternity test, drug detection, AIDS detection, sexually transmitted disease detection, AIDS detection test paper, sexually transmitted disease detection test paper, drug detection test paper, sperm stain detection test paper, adult products and personal private care products, etc. after paying and receiving the sampling tool, so as to achieve the effect of personal detection project anonymization and detection result privacy. The present application does not need any encryption technology, ingeniously cuts off the association between the payment information and the actual detection project and detection data, and any party except the sample person himself cannot know these association information, and there will be no record of these association information on the e-commerce platform and the network, which truly achieves the effect of "detection data anonymization", and there is no need to worry about any technical or non-technical data leakage.

[0018] The details of the application can be more clearly understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the description of the embodiments of the application. However, the embodiments of the application described herein are only for the purpose of explaining the application and should not be understood as limiting the application in any way. Based on the teachings of the application, a skilled person can conceive any possible modification of the application, which should be considered as falling within the scope of the application.

[0019] The application provides a detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage. As shown in FIG. 1, a person who submits a sample purchases a gene detection service (including a sampling tool) provided by a detection service provider. The person who submits a sample anonymously obtains a sample identification code after receiving the sampling tool, uses the sample identification code as a unique identifier of the person who submits a sample, and realizes circulation of detection service and detection information through the gene detection service and the sample identification code.

[0020] The application provides a detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage. As shown in FIG. 3, a person who submits a sample can purchase a gene detection service in real name. However, since a sample identification code appears only when the person who submits a sample becomes anonymous, any party other than the person who submits a sample cannot associate payment information with the sample identification code, and thus cannot know the association between the real identity of the person who submits a sample and gene detection data, thereby truly protecting the relevant personal privacy of the person who submits a sample.

[0021] The application provides a detection method for preventing personal privacy leakage. After a person who submits a sample purchases a gene detection service, the person who submits a sample circulates detection information through an anonymously obtained sample identification code, and can also modify and secondarily select service content. Since the sample identification code is obtained anonymously by the person who submits a sample only after the person who submits a sample purchases a gene detection and receives a sampling tool, and the sample identification code is used as a unique identifier to complete the entire detection process in a subsequent service process, the application ensures that the correspondence between the identity information of the person who submits a sample and the detection result in the detection process is not leaked. The application not only eliminates the cumbersome steps in the traditional method, but also ingeniously breaks the direct association between the sample identification code and the payment information, further simplifies the operation required by the person who submits a sample when using the service, and reduces the cumbersome links in the detection process. This will help to promote the transition of the concept of medical health from passive treatment to active prevention.

[0022] Another remarkable effect of the present application is that the specificity of genetic testing in all the above-mentioned testing services and products related to personal privacy is determined. Because the information of purchasing genetic testing services is not private itself, but the genetic testing data associated with the real identity of the individual is private. Therefore, it is an ideal choice to provide various privacy-related service items under the name of genetic testing. According to the characteristics of the variety and price difference of genetic testing, genetic testing service items of different prices can be designed, so that after paying and receiving the sampling tool, the person sending the sample can anonymously convert the genetic testing service into other service items such as personal paternity testing, drug testing, AIDS testing, sexually transmitted disease testing, AIDS test paper, sexually transmitted disease test paper, drug test paper, sperm stain test paper, adult products and personal private care products, in order to achieve the effect of anonymity of personal testing items and privacy of testing results. The testing method proposed in the present application does not require any encryption technology, and skillfully breaks the association between the payment information and the actual testing items and testing data. Except for the person sending the sample himself, no one else can know these association information, and there will be no record of these association information on the e-commerce platform and the network, truly achieving the effect of "testing data anonymization", without worrying about any technical or non-technical data leakage. In an optional embodiment of the present application, the genetic testing service takes the sampling tool as the voucher and / or carrier. The user can obtain the physical medium required for private testing by purchasing these sampling tools, and the purchase process can be real-name or anonymous.

[0023] The testing service provider sells the genetic testing service to the person sending the sample in a real-name or anonymous manner through various ways and channels, and the sales price includes the cost of the sampling tool.

[0024] In an optional example of this embodiment, anonymous purchase of genetic testing services can be achieved through offline methods such as anonymous cash settlement, or through online anonymous purchase with encrypted currency, and anonymous collection of sampling tools, wherein the sampling tool has a sample identification code, and the person sending the sample follows the instructions to collect the sample and anonymously send it to the testing service provider after completing the purchase.

[0025] Further, the testing service provider establishes a testing service platform on the Internet, which allows users to completely anonymously register and log in (no need to provide information that may disclose the real identity of the individual, such as phone number, email or certificate number, etc.) and does not record the IP address and other types of personal privacy information of the user.

[0026] In another optional example, the genetic testing service uses normal sales channels and normal ways to send the sampling tool, thereby avoiding the restriction of having to use special gift vouchers and smart express cabinet pickup codes.

[0027] Specifically, the submitter purchases the genetic testing service provided by the testing service provider through various online or offline channels and normally pays the fee, and the testing service provider sends the sampling tool to the submitter through normal channels.

[0028] In an optional embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the anonymous acquisition of the sample identification code includes that the testing service provider establishes a testing service platform, and the submitter anonymously acquires the sample identification code through the testing service platform. The platform allows the submitter to access and anonymously register through the Internet. During the registration and login process, the submitter does not need to provide any information that can identify his / her identity, such as name, ID number, phone number, email address, etc., and the IP address of the submitter and other types of personal information are not recorded. After successful registration, the submitter can select the required testing items or modify the testing items through the platform, and acquire the sample identification code corresponding to the finally determined testing items. The sample identification code serves as the unique identifier of the submitter and will be used in the subsequent testing service process. In this way, the submitter can obtain the sample identification code required for testing without revealing his / her true identity, thereby ensuring the security of personal privacy. This way of anonymously acquiring the sample identification code enables the submitter to obtain testing services without revealing personal privacy, eliminating their concerns and concerns when receiving testing, and improving their willingness to receive testing.

[0029] The submitter can convert the purchased genetic testing service into other service items in a completely anonymous manner by modifying the content of the testing service and reselecting the service items. Although multiple parties (such as e-commerce platforms, testing service providers, sellers, payment institutions, and express enterprises, etc.) know that the submitter has purchased the genetic testing service, the submitter can convert the purchased genetic testing service into other service items in a completely anonymous manner, such as personal paternity testing, drug testing, AIDS testing, sexually transmitted disease testing, AIDS test paper, sexually transmitted disease test paper, drug test paper, sperm stain test paper, adult products, and personal private care products, etc., thereby achieving the purpose of not revealing personal privacy during testing and shopping.

[0030] Further, according to the characteristics of various genetic testing types and large price differences, different price genetic testing service items can be designed, so that after the submitter pays for and receives the sampling tool, the submitter can anonymously convert it into other service items, achieving the effect of personal testing item anonymization and testing result privacy. At the same time, it is normal for a submitter to conduct genetic testing multiple times and order genetic testing services for others; also, the information of purchasing genetic testing services itself is not privacy, but the genetic testing data associated with the true identity of the individual is privacy. Therefore, it is an ideal choice to provide various privacy-related service items under the name of genetic testing.

[0031] The person who submits the sample obtains the sampling tool and anonymously registers and logs in on the detection service platform. Depending on whether the real name is registered at the time of purchase and the type of sample identification code, the person who submits the sample selects to directly register the sample identification code or to obtain a new sample identification code, so as to cut off the association between the sample identification code and the real identity of the person who submits the sample.

[0032] The person who submits the sample can also change the detection service item on the detection service platform, and can also choose to exchange other non-detection goods.

[0033] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the sampling tool can contain a sample identification code or other specific information related to the detection (including a sample identification code and other information protected by a one-time password envelope and the like, as long as the sample identification code and other information cannot be seen by others before the person who submits the sample obtains the sampling tool) covered by a one-time coating. Accordingly, after receiving the sampling tool, the person who submits the sample scrapes off the coating or opens the password envelope, inputs the sample identification code and other information on the detection service platform, and then can anonymously choose to continue the genetic detection or change the detection item, or change to purchase other goods related to privacy, such as AIDS test paper, sexually transmitted disease test paper, drug test paper, sperm stain test paper, adult products, and personal private care products, and provide anonymous delivery information, and then the relevant party sends the goods to the person who submits the sample without knowing the real identity of the person who submits the sample. After sampling, the person who submits the detection service anonymously sends the sample and the sample identification code to the detection service provider.

[0034] After the detection service provider receives the sample and completes the detection, the detection report and other data are input into the detection service platform for the person who submits the sample to anonymously view and download.

[0035] In an optional embodiment of the present application, if the person who submits the sample chooses to exchange other non-detection goods, the detection service provider can send the goods to the person who submits the sample without knowing the real identity of the person who submits the sample.

[0036] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned genetic detection service can also be replaced by other appropriate detection services or non-detection goods.

[0037] The detailed explanations of the above-mentioned embodiments are only for the purpose of explaining the present application, so as to better understand the present application, but these descriptions cannot be interpreted as limitations of the present application for any reason. In particular, the features described in different embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other to form other embodiments, and these features should be understood as being applicable to any embodiment, rather than being limited to the described embodiments, except for the explicit opposite descriptions.
