Consistency Verification for Data Handling Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack effective mechanisms to verify the consistency of records related to data handling, particularly in ensuring that consent records are properly created before data disclosure, and that these records are traceable and resistant to tampering.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes a receiver for verification requests, a searcher to acquire relevant handling consent and execution records from a storage system, a period calculator to determine consent or non-consent periods, and a verifier to ensure the consistency of records based on these periods and execution records.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual verification of consent records is performed, then consistency can be checked, but the process is time-consuming and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-verification by automatically checking whether consent records exist before data disclosure operations. The verification apparatus autonomously queries the storage system, compares timestamps, and determines consistency without requiring manual intervention, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual verification while maintaining high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification apparatus provides automatic feedback by returning verification results (consistent or inconsistent) to the data disclosure operation. This feedback mechanism enables real-time consistency checking, allowing the system to proceed only when consent records are valid, thus improving reliability while reducing verification time through automated decision-making.
2Reliability
If comprehensive record keeping is implemented, then traceability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and stores only the essential information needed for verification: consent record timestamps, data disclosure operation timestamps, and their correspondence relationships. By taking out only the critical elements (time information) rather than storing all possible record details, the system achieves comprehensive traceability while minimizing storage complexity and system overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification process is segmented into distinct functional components: a verification apparatus that separates consent record verification from data disclosure operations. This segmentation allows independent management of consent records and disclosure operations, reducing the complexity of managing comprehensive records by dividing the system into modular, manageable parts.
3Productivity
If automated verification is implemented, then verification speed increases, but measurement precision requirements become more stringent
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the verification parameter from complex multi-field record comparison to simple timestamp-based time interval measurement. By focusing verification on the time parameter (whether consent record time precedes data disclosure time), the system achieves high verification speed while the precision requirement is simplified to timestamp accuracy, which is easily met by standard timekeeping systems.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: a receiver to receive a verification request of consistency for an object of verification being a handling consent record or a handling execution record related to a handling of data; a searcher to search a storage system storing at least one handling consent record and at least one handling execution record on a basis of the verification request, and acquire the handling consent record or the handling execution record which is the object of verification and a handling consent record and a handling execution record related to the object of verification; a period calculator to calculate at least one of a consent period or a non-consent period on a basis of acquired handling consent record(s); and a verifier to verify the consistency on a basis of acquired handling execution record(s) and at least one of the consent period or the non-consent period.
