Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack effective methods for managing consent receipts under transactions, particularly in ensuring compliance with privacy and security policies regarding personal data processing.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented data processing method that generates a unique consent receipt key and associates it with a data subject's identifier and transaction identifier, storing this information in computer memory and transmitting a consent receipt to the data subject.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If consent receipt management is implemented, then data processing compliance is improved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The consent receipt management system segments the consent management process into distinct components: consent receipt generation module, storage module, retrieval module, and validation module. Each component handles a specific aspect of consent management independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable while ensuring comprehensive compliance coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a consent receipt management system as an intermediary layer between data processors and data subjects. This intermediary handles all consent-related operations centrally, simplifying the interactions between other system components and ensuring consistent compliance without requiring each component to implement compliance logic independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If unique identifiers and consent records are stored, then consent tracking accuracy is improved, but data storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsent tracking accuracyVSAvoiddata storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential information needed for consent tracking into the consent receipt records. Instead of storing complete transaction histories or full data subject profiles, the system stores only the unique identifiers, consent status, and necessary metadata, significantly reducing storage requirements while maintaining accurate consent tracking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The consent receipt records serve multiple functions: they identify data subjects, track consent status, reference transaction details, and provide audit trails. By making the consent receipt a multi-functional data structure, the system avoids creating separate storage systems for each function, thereby reducing overall data storage requirements while maintaining comprehensive tracking capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
