Dynamic Identity Broadcast for Privacy Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for broadcasting identifiers lack the ability to control personal information dissemination, forcing individuals to either reveal their identity for all interactions or remain anonymous and miss out on available services and connections.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of dynamic identifiers that change based on context and rules, requiring recipients to query an information service for personal information, allowing users to control access and dissemination of their data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a user broadcasts their identity to receive services and connections, then they can obtain benefits and make connections, but they lose control over personal information dissemination and may have their identity revealed without consent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic identifiers that change over time and context rather than using static identifiers. The identifier is regenerated periodically or based on specific conditions, making it difficult for unauthorized parties to track or access personal information while still allowing legitimate services to function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an information service as an intermediary between the user and requesting parties. This service acts as a gatekeeper that controls what personal information is disclosed and to whom, based on rules and permissions set by the user, thereby protecting privacy while enabling necessary information exchange.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a user does not broadcast their identity to protect privacy, then they maintain control over personal information, but they cannot receive services or make connections
Solution Approach 1:
The information service acts as a mediator that enables service provision without direct identity exposure. Services can be delivered based on dynamic identifiers and contextual information without requiring the user's actual identity to be broadcast, thus maintaining privacy while enabling service access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of identification from static personal identifiers to dynamic contextual identifiers. This allows services to be provided based on temporary, context-specific identifiers that do not reveal personal identity, balancing privacy protection with service accessibility.
3Device complexity
If static identifiers are used for broadcasting, then the system is simple to implement, but users cannot control information access and are vulnerable to unauthorized tracking
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static identifiers to dynamic identifiers that are regenerated based on time, context, or specific conditions. This dynamic approach prevents unauthorized tracking while maintaining system functionality, though it increases implementation complexity compared to static identifiers.
Solution Approach 2:
The identifier is updated periodically or at specific intervals rather than remaining constant. This periodic regeneration of identifiers prevents long-term tracking and unauthorized access accumulation, addressing security concerns while maintaining operational simplicity through automated periodic updates.

AI summary
Systems and methods for generating and broadcasting a dynamic identifier are presented. Based on the current context and rules established for accessing personal information, a dynamic identifier corresponding to a computer user is dynamically generated and provided to a computing device corresponding to the computer user. The computing device may broadcast the dynamic identifier to others. Upon receipt of a dynamic identifier, a party wishing to determine information regarding the broadcasting party must query an information service with the dynamic identifier. According to a set of rules and/or permissions established for the target computer user (broadcasting the dynamic identifier), accessible information is identified and returned to the requesting party.
