Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method for creating an inventory of assets and enabling them to access a central database of information, limiting user control over personal data and asset management across multiple devices.

Innovation Solution

A system that determines devices to be part of groups, synchronizes datasets among these devices, and establishes a cryptographic connection, allowing users to manage their assets and data through a Personal Profile Stronghold (PPS) for centralized control and access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If devices are grouped and datasets are synchronized across multiple devices, then user control over personal data is improved, but data fragmentation across devices increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control over personal dataVSAvoiddata fragmentation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data management by organizing devices into groups and assigning specific datasets to each device while maintaining synchronization. This allows users to control personal data across multiple devices without complete data duplication, as each device holds a synchronized portion of the overall dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A centralized server acts as an intermediary to manage dataset synchronization across grouped devices. The server coordinates data distribution and updates, ensuring that personal data is accessible and consistent across devices without requiring direct peer-to-peer synchronization, thereby reducing fragmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If cryptographic connections are established between devices, then security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cryptographic connection system is designed to work universally across all devices in the group, using standardized encryption protocols and authentication mechanisms. This multi-functional approach allows the same security framework to protect data transmission, storage, and synchronization operations without requiring device-specific custom implementations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If datasets are synchronized among grouped devices, then accessibility of personal data is improved, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of personal dataVSAvoidprocessing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-synchronizing datasets to devices before they are needed for access. This advance data preparation reduces the processing burden during actual data retrieval operations, as synchronization occurs during idle periods rather than during user access events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An approach is provided for personal asset management. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a determination of one or more devices to be part of one or more groups. The approach further involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of a determination of one or more datasets to be stored on the one or more devices. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, the one or more datasets to be synchronized among the one or more devices that are part of the one or more groups. The approach additionally involves causing, at least in part, a cryptographic connection between the one or more devices to be established.
