Anonymous Network Access via Intermediary Identity Layer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network systems require personal identifiable information for access, leading to privacy concerns and intrusive data collection, as they are designed to gather user data for monetization purposes, lacking mechanisms for anonymous access and protection.
Innovation Solution
The creation of restricted scope and closed interactive networks, subnetworks, and sub-subnetworks that allow anonymous access using anonymous access codes and usernames, with controlled access and highly protected communication, enabling users to interact with digital elements while maintaining privacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If personal identifiable information is collected for network access, then network control and monitoring capability is improved, but user privacy protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between users and the network system. Users access the network through anonymous credentials (anonymous IP addresses, encrypted certificates) that act as mediators, allowing the network to control and monitor access without directly identifying users. This intermediary mechanism resolves the contradiction by enabling network reliability while protecting user privacy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates anonymous copies of user identities through generated anonymous IP addresses and encrypted credentials. Instead of using real personal identifiable information, the system uses fabricated anonymous identifiers that allow network control and monitoring while preventing direct linkage to actual users, thus resolving the privacy infringement issue while maintaining network reliability.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If anonymous access is implemented, then user privacy protection is improved, but network monitoring and control capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the network can monitor anonymous credentials, track access patterns, and control network resources even without identifying users personally. The system receives feedback from anonymous users about their interactions and can enforce policies, manage resources, and detect anomalies while maintaining anonymity, thus preserving both privacy protection and monitoring capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Anonymous credentials and encrypted certificates serve as intermediaries that enable two-way communication between users and the network. These intermediaries allow the network to monitor and control anonymous users effectively while preserving their privacy, resolving the contradiction between anonymity and monitoring capability.
3Productivity
If user data is collected for monetization, then network revenue potential is improved, but consumer privacy concerns worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables data monetization by collecting anonymous interaction data and behavioral patterns instead of personal identifiable information. The system creates anonymous profiles based on user interactions with digital elements, allowing advertisers to target and measure campaign effectiveness without knowing users' real identities, thus generating revenue while addressing privacy concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
Anonymous credentials and encrypted data structures act as intermediaries between users and data collectors. This allows the network to monetize user interactions through anonymous advertising and data sales while preventing direct linkage to personal identities, resolving the contradiction between revenue generation and privacy protection.

AI summary
A computerized methods and systems to create, control and manage restricted scope and closed internet interactive networks, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks. The invention permits the protected network, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks to be connected to an open or previously established network, yet still remaining protected, secure and anonymous. Entrance into the protected interactive networks, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks by the user is achieved through a protected network device, anonymous address code, anonymous access code and/or anonymous login information. As the user interacts with the digital elements within the protected interactive networks, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks, a database of said interactions is created and used by the protected network provider in various ways, such as for user behavior information. No personal identifiable information is stored within interactive networks, subnetworks and/or sub-subnetworks and communication on said networks is unique, which inhibits and deters the targeting of the networks by cyber-criminals.
