Claim Verification System Using Trusted Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The advertising industry faces inefficiencies due to the reliance on potentially inaccurate digital information, which can lead to wasted resources, as accurate digital information is often not publicly available and is privately sold or subscription-based, and entities are hesitant to share due to privacy and security concerns.
Innovation Solution
A claim verification system that generates a proof and attestation notification with a calculated veracity score, verifying claims about entities or subjects by accessing multiple data repositories and employing natural language processing and statistical analysis to determine the accuracy of claims, providing a trusted and automated method for advertisers to ensure the reliability of their data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If entities share digital information publicly, then information accuracy and reliability improve, but privacy and security concerns worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a trusted third-party verification system that acts as an intermediary between data holders and data seekers. This mediator verifies claims about digital information without requiring direct sharing of sensitive data, thus improving information reliability while maintaining privacy and security protections.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates verified copies or attestations of digital information claims without moving or exposing the original sensitive data. Verification results are provided as separate evidence that confirms information accuracy without compromising the source data's security or privacy.
2Loss of energy
If accurate digital information is made publicly available, then resource wastage reduces, but access control and security requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The verification system enables self-service validation where requesting entities can independently verify information claims through automated verification requests. This reduces resource wastage from relying on unverified data while avoiding complex manual access control systems through automated, on-demand verification.
3Reliability
If digital information from private sources is accessed, then information accuracy improves, but system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The verification system is segmented into modular components: a trusted third-party verifier, data holders, and requesting entities. This segmentation allows the system to access private information sources accurately while distributing system complexity across independent, specialized modules rather than requiring a monolithic complex system.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to a proof and attestation service that can confirm the veracity of a claim or a statement of truth based on data dynamically-retrieved from various data repositories. A server device receives, from a client device, a request to determine the veracity of a claim or a statement of truth. The server device is generally a trusted computing device, having privileged-access to a variety of data repositories that the client device may or may not access. The server device can select one or more data repositories based on the claim, obtain results data from the selected one or more data repositories, and evaluate each result to determine whether it corresponds to or contradicts the claim. A veracity score can be calculated for the claim or for a result that corresponds to or contradicts the claim. The server device can generate an attestation notification that includes the claim or the result for communication to the requesting client device. In this way, the client device can utilize the proof and attestation service, facilitated via the server device, to determine a claim's veracity or its calculated likelihood of being true.
