Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for improved systems and methods to manage personal data in a manner that complies with privacy and security policies, particularly in obtaining and managing consent for processing personal information.
Innovation Solution
A consent extension system that allows privacy-related consents to be extended from a first computing device to a second computing device, using processors and computer memory to facilitate the extension of consents automatically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If consent management is implemented for each computing device separately, then compliance with privacy policies is ensured, but computational resources and system complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single consent management system that serves multiple computing devices. The system receives consent from a user and automatically extends it to cover multiple devices, eliminating the need for separate consent management for each device while maintaining compliance with privacy policies like GDPR and CCPA.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple device-specific consent management functions into a single unified system. By combining consent tracking, verification, and extension operations into one centralized system, the patent reduces overall system complexity while ensuring compliance across all devices.
2Reliability
If separate consent management is performed for each computing device, then user privacy is protected, but computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides multi-functionality by handling consent management for multiple devices through a single unified process. Instead of performing separate consent verification and tracking operations for each device, the system extends one consent decision across all devices, significantly reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining privacy protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing user consent once and then automatically extending it to cover multiple computing devices in advance. This eliminates the need for repeated consent verification operations for each device, reducing overall computational resource requirements while ensuring continuous privacy protection.
3Reliability
If manual consent extension to multiple devices is implemented, then compliance is maintained, but processing time and efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically extending user consent to multiple computing devices without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously verifies compliance requirements and applies consent across devices, significantly improving processing efficiency while maintaining compliance through automated compliance verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuity of useful action by maintaining active consent status across all computing devices through automatic extension. Instead of requiring discrete manual updates for each device, the system continuously manages consent state across the entire device ecosystem, improving efficiency while ensuring ongoing compliance.

AI summary
A privacy-related consent extension and data processing system may be configured to automatically extend one or more privacy-related consents for a user of a first computing device to a second computing device. In various embodiments, the system is configured to provide a computer-readable indicium (indicia) on a previously unknown computing device upon initiation of a transaction between a user and an entity collecting and processing privacy data. In response to a user using a known computing device to scan the computer-readable indicium, in various embodiments, the system may provide the ability to share user consent data provided by the first known device to the second unknown device, allowing the user to provide consent without manually re-entering privacy and consent preferences.
