Body Data Transmission Permission Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies lack effective control and management mechanisms for transmitting body-related data between electronic devices, raising privacy concerns and liability issues, as users and service providers struggle to restrict unauthorized access and transmission of image data.
Innovation Solution
Implementing systems and methods that allow users, developers, and service providers to control the type of body data transmitted, received, and displayed by setting permissions, using gesture recognition systems to capture and analyze body position and motion data, and enabling data filtering policies to ensure compliance with privacy settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If body data is transmitted between devices to enable various applications, then functionality and versatility are improved, but privacy risks and unauthorized access increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments body data into multiple types (image data, position data, motion data) and implements granular permission controls for each type. Different applications can be granted access to specific data types based on their needs, enabling functionality while minimizing privacy exposure. For example, a gesture control application may only need position data without access to image data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary permission management system that mediates between data sources and applications. This intermediary layer enforces access policies, filters data transmissions, and ensures that only authorized applications receive appropriate data types. The system acts as a gatekeeper that balances functionality requirements with privacy protection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive body data is collected and transmitted, then data utility and application capability are improved, but liability exposure and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality control by allowing different quality levels and types of body data to be transmitted to different applications based on their specific needs. Rather than uniformly transmitting all data types to all applications, the system tailors data transmission to each application's requirements, reducing overall liability exposure while maintaining data utility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of data transmission by dynamically adjusting which data types are transmitted based on application permissions, user settings, and context. The system can modify transmission parameters such as data type, resolution, and frequency to balance data utility with liability reduction.
3Reliability
If permission controls are implemented to restrict data transmission, then privacy protection is improved, but system complexity and management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal permission management framework that handles multiple data types (image, position, motion) and multiple applications through a single standardized interface. This multi-functional system reduces complexity by providing consistent permission controls across different data types and applications rather than requiring separate control mechanisms for each.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service permission management where users can independently configure their own data sharing preferences and application access rights. The system provides user-friendly interfaces that allow users to manage permissions without requiring complex administrative overhead, thereby improving privacy protection while minimizing system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
Information from a position and/or gesture detection system can be transmitted to various devices in order to enable users to interact and/or view others users. In some embodiments, video is captured that includes a current view of the body of a user. In order to prevent an unauthorized, unintended, or undesired transmission of at least part of the body image data, one or more settings or policies can be specified that can control which portions are transmitted, received, and/or displayed. For example, a user can be prompted before body image or position data is transmitted, which enables a user to control the type of data that is sent. A recipient or intermediate entity or component can also specify one or more settings or policies to control the type of data that is transmitted and/or received. In some embodiments, an external service can be utilized to manage the transmission of data.
