Anonymous Remote Content Capture Without Local Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content delivery systems fail to provide secure, anonymous, and efficient capture and transmission of content between users, particularly in scenarios where revealing identities or storing content on intermediate devices poses legal or reputational risks.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for anonymous remote device content capture and secure delivery, where content is captured by a second device and directly routed to a first device without persistence on the second device, using encryption and asymmetric or symmetric encryption keys to ensure anonymity and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If content is captured and stored on the second device for later delivery, then content availability is improved, but device storage requirements and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the content capture function from the second device by using a third-party service that captures content remotely and delivers it directly to the first device. This eliminates the need for the second device to store content, resolving the contradiction between content availability and storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a third-party content capture service as an intermediary between the first and second devices. This intermediary captures content and handles delivery, allowing the second device to remain storage-free while maintaining content availability through the intermediary's infrastructure.
2Reliability
If user identities are revealed during content capture and delivery, then authentication reliability is improved, but legal and reputational risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The third-party service acts as an intermediary that handles authentication and content delivery without revealing user identities to each other. The service verifies credentials and delivers content anonymously, maintaining authentication reliability while eliminating direct identity exposure and associated legal/reputational risks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts identity revelation from the content delivery process by using the third-party service to mediate communication. User identities are extracted from the direct peer-to-peer interaction and handled only by the intermediary service, which can verify authenticity without exposing user information to each other.
3Reliability
If content is transmitted through multiple intermediate devices, then delivery security is improved, but transmission time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a single third-party intermediary service that provides secure content delivery without requiring multiple intermediate devices. This intermediary handles encryption, verification, and transmission directly between devices, achieving delivery security while minimizing transmission time by avoiding multiple hops through complex intermediate networks.

AI summary
Systems and methods for securely scheduling a remote content capture, and subsequently capturing, securing the captured content and securely transmitting the secured content in an atomic transaction from a second device to a first device. The systems and methods mediate and facilitate contracting for the same. Capture is facilitated without persistence of the captured content on the second device, and the captured content is secured and securely routed to the first device.
