Asynchronous User Data Transfer with Local Collection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the capability to asynchronously transfer user-provided information only after explicit user permission, ensuring privacy and control over personal data, particularly in online services and webpage interactions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a client-server architecture to receive user-initiated requests for webpages, collect personal information locally on the client platform, and transfer it to servers only after the user provides explicit permission, using asynchronous HTTP instructions to facilitate seamless and secure data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If user information is transferred immediately upon collection, then data processing efficiency is improved, but user privacy control and security are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary local collection and storage of user information on the client platform before transfer. The information is gathered and prepared in advance, but the actual transfer to the server is delayed until user permission is obtained, thus balancing efficiency preparation with privacy protection
Solution Approach 2:
The client platform acts as an intermediary between the user and the server. It collects information locally, manages user permissions, and controls the transfer process, serving as a mediator that protects user privacy while enabling necessary data exchange
2Reliability
If synchronous transfer protocol is used, then data transfer confirmation is improved, but system responsiveness and user experience are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses asynchronous HTTP instructions that operate periodically or on-demand rather than requiring immediate synchronous confirmation. The transfer is initiated and can proceed in the background without blocking the user interface, maintaining system responsiveness while ensuring data transfer
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional synchronous request-response mechanism with asynchronous communication. Instead of waiting for server confirmation before proceeding, the system substitutes the blocking mechanical wait with non-blocking asynchronous operations, improving responsiveness
3Device complexity
If all user information is collected centrally on server, then data management simplicity is improved, but user control and privacy security are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments data management between two locations: the client platform and the server. The client handles local collection, storage, and permission management, while the server handles processing. This segmentation gives users control over their data while maintaining manageable complexity through clear division of responsibilities

AI summary
Systems and methods to asynchronously transfer user-provided information upon user-provided permissions are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may receive a user-initiated request for one or more webpages from a user associated with a client computing platform; transfer a set of information to the client computing platform, wherein the set of information is usable to generate one or more presentations of the one or more webpages on the client computing platform; receive, from the client computing platform, user-provided information, wherein the user-provided information is based on a first item of user-provided personal information and on a second item of user-provided personal information that have been collected locally through the one or more presentations on the client computing platform, and wherein server-side receipt of the user-provided information occurs subsequent to the user providing permission for the transfer of the user-provided information; and/or other steps.
