Electronic Device Consent-State Control for Conditional Function Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require users to perform consent operations even when they are not necessary, causing inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a recording control unit to manage consent states, a display control unit to manage consent screens, and a control unit to execute functions without displaying consent screens when certain conditions are met, ensuring consent is implicitly granted under specific conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system requests consent operation from user for all information transmission cases, then compliance with information transmission regulations is ensured, but user convenience deteriorates due to unnecessary consent operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of whether consent is required based on pre-stored correspondence between functions and consent requirements. When a function is selected, the system checks beforehand whether consent is needed and either displays the consent screen or proceeds directly, eliminating unnecessary user operations while ensuring compliance when required
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines whether consent is required by itself based on the selected function and stored correspondence data. This self-determination mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually assess consent requirements, with the system autonomously making the correct compliance decision
2Reliability
If the system displays consent screen for every function selection, then consent compliance is maintained, but operational efficiency deteriorates due to increased user operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of consent requirements using pre-stored function-consent correspondence. This advance determination allows the system to bypass unnecessary consent screens while maintaining compliance for functions that require it, thereby improving operational efficiency without sacrificing compliance
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies consent verification selectively rather than universally. By performing consent checks only for functions that actually require them (partial action), the system avoids the excessive action of displaying consent screens for all function selections, thus maintaining compliance while improving efficiency
