Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for controlling user personal data lack automation in granting and revoking access rights, requiring manual user intervention.

Innovation Solution

An automated system that collects information about consumers of personal data, compares it with risk criteria templates, and adjusts access parameters based on identified risks using a hardware processor to control access to the user's personal information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual control of personal data access is implemented, then user control capability is improved, but automation level deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control capabilityVSAvoidautomation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service control where the access control system automatically monitors consumer behavior, assesses risks, and adjusts access parameters without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously making access control decisions based on predefined risk criteria and real-time data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where access patterns are monitored, risk assessments are updated in real-time, and access parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the feedback from risk analysis. This closed-loop control enables automated adaptation while maintaining user control objectives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Extent of automation

If automated risk-based access control is implemented, then automation level is improved, but system complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated access control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: data collection module, risk assessment module, decision-making module, and access control module. Each module performs a specific function, making the overall complex system manageable through modular design where each segment can be independently developed, tested, and maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components such as risk assessment algorithms and decision rules that mediate between raw data collection and final access control decisions. These intermediaries simplify the complexity by providing structured processing layers that transform complex data into actionable access control decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Speed

If real-time monitoring of consumer data is implemented, then response speed to risk changes is improved, but information processing load deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial monitoring by focusing only on critical risk indicators and key access events rather than continuously processing all possible data. Risk assessment is triggered selectively based on predefined conditions, reducing unnecessary processing while maintaining rapid response to genuine risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts monitoring parameters such as sampling rates, threshold values, and assessment intervals based on current risk levels and system load. When risk is low, monitoring intensity is reduced to minimize processing load; when risk increases, the system intensifies monitoring to maintain rapid response capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed are system and methods for controlling access of a consumer to personal data of a user. An example method includes: collecting information about the consumer of personal data; comparing the collected information with one or more templates containing risk criteria to determine whether a risk is associated with the consumer; setting, based on the determined risk, consumer access parameters for access of the consumer to the personal information of the user; and controlling access of the consumer to the personal data of the user based on the set consumer access parameters.
