Event Identifier Content Sharing System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for sharing photographs require manual identification of recipients and do not facilitate easy sharing of content data among participants of common events, limiting the ability to automatically associate and share high-quality content data.
Innovation Solution
A content data service that embeds an event identifier within content data, allowing participants to opt-in to a trust relationship by associating the data with the event, enabling automatic categorization and sharing of content data across a shared space accessible by participants, with a trust profile controlling access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual identification of recipients is used in photograph sharing systems, then access control and privacy are maintained, but the sharing process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-identification of participants through event identifier association. When content data is captured at an event, the system automatically identifies other participants who attended the same event and proposes sharing without requiring manual recipient selection, thus simplifying the sharing process while maintaining access control through opt-in trust relationships
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes trust relationships based on common event participation before actual content sharing occurs. By maintaining lists of participants associated with event identifiers and pre-configuring trust profiles, the system enables automatic sharing decisions without requiring manual identification at the moment of sharing
2Extent of automation
If unique user identifier systems are used, then secure access control is achieved, but the system cannot automatically associate content data with events or participants
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces event identifiers as intermediary elements that bridge participants and content data. Instead of directly managing complex user identifier relationships, the system uses event identifiers as mediators to automatically associate content data with participants who attended the same event, enabling automation while simplifying identifier management
Solution Approach 2:
The event identifier serves multiple functions: it identifies the event, groups participants who attended together, and enables automatic content data association. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate complex identifier systems while achieving automated content sharing based on common participation
3Ease of operation
If content data is shared with all event participants, then ease of sharing is improved, but privacy control and trust management become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements differentiated access control by creating local trust profiles for each participant-event combination. Instead of uniform access to all participants, the system allows selective sharing based on individual trust relationships established during the event, enabling ease of sharing while maintaining privacy control through localized trust management
Data Source
AI summary
Enabling the automatic identification of participants to a common event to enable data sharing between the participants. An event identifier embedded in the content data associates the content data with an event. A content data service maintains a list of event identifiers and a list of participants associated with each event. Each of the participants communicates with the content data service to identify the other participants. The participants communicate with each other to share content data from the common event.
