Information Management Device Using Terminal Probability Models
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information management devices lack the capability to quickly and appropriately inquire about the propriety of using personal information data, as they do not have a mechanism to efficiently determine the most likely user terminal for consent inquiries.
Innovation Solution
An information management device that includes a first storage unit for personal information data, a second storage unit for application software, a third storage unit for terminal usage probabilities, an acquisition unit to gather data, and a communication unit to transmit consent inquiry signals to the most probable user terminals, ensuring that consent inquiries are directed to the terminals with the highest usage probability.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional information management devices are used without terminal usage probability models, then the device structure remains simple, but the ability to quickly and appropriately inquire about personal information data usage consent is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes terminal usage probability models and maintains correlation data between terminals and users before actual consent inquiries are needed. This preliminary preparation enables rapid identification of the most appropriate terminal for consent inquiries without complex real-time analysis, thus improving inquiry speed while keeping the system structure manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a correlation model as an intermediary layer between the user and multiple terminals. This model stores pre-analyzed usage probability data that mediates the complex relationship between users and their various terminals, allowing the system to quickly determine the best terminal for consent inquiries without directly complexly analyzing terminal usage patterns in real-time.
2Reliability
If inquiry signals are sent to multiple terminals simultaneously, then the likelihood of receiving user response increases, but the communication overhead and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the set of user terminals and sends inquiry signals in a hierarchical manner - first to the terminal with the highest usage probability, then to the second highest, and so on. This segmentation approach maintains high reliability by eventually reaching the user through multiple channels while avoiding the complexity of simultaneous multi-terminal communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the inquiry transmission process based on responses received. If a terminal responds, the inquiry process stops; if not, it proceeds to the next terminal in the probability-ranked list. This dynamic adaptation ensures high likelihood of receiving consent while keeping communication overhead proportional to actual need rather than being fixed at maximum level.
3Device complexity
If the system waits for user response from the most probable terminal before trying other terminals, then communication overhead is reduced, but the time to obtain consent increases if the first terminal does not respond
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary ranking of terminals based on pre-analyzed usage probability data before the consent inquiry process begins. This pre-established hierarchy enables the system to quickly proceed through the list of terminals in order of probability without complex real-time decision-making, thus reducing consent acquisition time while maintaining simple communication logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a time-based skipping mechanism where, if the most probable terminal does not respond within a predetermined time period, the system automatically proceeds to send inquiries to the next most probable terminals. This rushing through of the terminal list when responses are delayed reduces the overall time to obtain consent while keeping the communication mechanism relatively simple.

AI summary
An information management device or the like capable of quickly and appropriately inquiring of a user propriety of using at least a part of personal information data is provided. A DA unit 2 as the information management device includes a controller 2a and a wireless communication circuit 2c. The controller 2a acquires, when an activation request to any one of a plurality of application software is generated, the personal information data used by the one piece of application software and acquires a propriety status of consent to use the personal information data for each item, and when the item without the consent to use is included, determines a terminal with a highest probability of being used by the user based on the current time and a correlation model, and transmits an inquiry signal which inquires the propriety of the consent to use the non-consent item to the terminal.
