Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack effective methods to manage personal data in compliance with privacy and security policies, particularly in ensuring that data subjects provide valid consent for processing their personal information, especially concerning age criteria and guardian consent when necessary.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that generate a consent receipt set, prompting data subjects to provide identifying information, determining age eligibility, and obtaining guardian consent when necessary, using AI for image analysis and customizing challenge questions to ensure valid consent is obtained before allowing access to sensitive functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the system implements comprehensive consent validation and age verification processes, then data security and privacy compliance are improved, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata security complianceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the consent validation process into distinct components: consent receipt generation, age criteria determination, guardian consent validation, and access control. Each component operates independently but contributes to the overall security compliance, making the complex system manageable and maintainable while ensuring thorough validation at each stage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating consent receipts and determining age criteria before actual data processing occurs. This advance validation ensures that all necessary consent and verification steps are completed upfront, preventing unauthorized processing and simplifying subsequent operations by establishing clear authorization boundaries in advance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the system collects and validates multiple pieces of identifying information including images and challenge responses, then age verification accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveage verification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by analyzing challenge question responses and image data to determine age criteria compliance. The system uses this feedback to make informed decisions about consent validity and access authorization, ensuring accurate age verification while optimizing processing efficiency through intelligent evaluation of the collected information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by accepting multiple types of identifying information (challenge responses, images, personal data) and transforming them into deterministic age criteria determinations. This multi-parameter approach improves verification accuracy by cross-validating information from different sources while managing processing time through efficient parameter evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the system modifies consent receipt sets to restrict access based on age criteria, then compliance with privacy regulations is improved, but ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregulatory complianceVSAvoidaccess control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism by modifying consent receipt sets to include access control directives based on age criteria. This intermediary layer automatically enforces compliance requirements between the consent validation process and data access operations, ensuring regulatory compliance while shielding users from the complexity of access control rules through automated enforcement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

In particular embodiments, a data processing consent management system may be configured to utilize one or more age verification techniques to at least partially authenticate the data subject's ability to provide valid consent (e.g., under one or more prevailing legal requirements) in order to collect, store, and or process the subject's personal data. For example, according to one or more particular legal or industry requirements, an individual (e.g., data subject) may need to be at least a particular age (e.g., an age of majority, an adult, over 18, over 21, over 13, or any other suitable age) in order to provide valid consent. Data processing systems may generate and store one or more consent records memorializing valid consent for data processing from data subjects in response to confirming that the data subject is old enough to provide such consent.
