Data Exchange Schema with Intermediary Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in managing their data across various entities, including tracking which entities have their information and how that data is used, due to the complexity of data transfers over communication networks.
Innovation Solution
A data exchange system that anonymizes user data by managing and organizing it through secure databases, providing access control, and creating data exchange schemas based on user interactions, allowing users to track data access and usage while ensuring privacy and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users transfer their data to various entities over communication networks, then data exchange efficiency is improved, but users face difficulties in tracking and managing which entities have their data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a data broker as an intermediary entity that mediates between users and multiple data-receiving entities. The data broker maintains a centralized registry of which entities have received which user data, allowing users to query this information without directly tracking each entity themselves. This intermediary structure preserves efficient data exchange while solving the tracking problem through centralized information management.
2Quantity of substance
If users provide data to various entities over longer periods of time, then data accumulation for entities increases, but users find it challenging to remember prior instances where data was transferred
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the data broker provides users with queries and notifications about which entities have their data and how it is being used. This feedback loop allows users to stay informed about data transfers over time without having to actively remember or track each transfer instance, thus reducing the time and cognitive effort required while allowing entities to accumulate necessary data.
3Ease of operation
If a centralized system tracks all user data transfers, then user data management improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data tracking system into distinct functional components: the data broker that maintains the registry, the interface that allows user queries, and the notification system that provides feedback to users. This segmentation allows the complex tracking functionality to be distributed and managed in modular fashion, improving ease of operation while containing system complexity through clear separation of concerns.

AI summary
Various systems, mediums, and methods herein describe aspects of data exchange schemas accessible with client devices over communication networks in data infrastructures. A data exchange system may build one or more data exchange schemas for a user. The system may also determine a location of a client device of the user associated with one or more entities. Based on the location of the client device, the system may identify a data exchange schema of the user for transferring data to the one or more entities. The system may determine an access for the one or more entities to a portion of data from the data exchange schema of the user. The system may also transmit a notification to the client device that indicates the access of the one or more entities to the portion of data from the data exchange schema.
