Information Processing Control for Legacy Purpose-Specific Consent
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices may not support purpose-specific permissions for information transmission, necessitating compliance with legally required permissions, especially in the context of personal information handling and updates to privacy laws.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that accepts user operations for multiple permission contents, converting them into a single transmission permission based on device capability, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and user consent.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electronic devices released in the past are used, then device compatibility is maintained, but compliance with legally required purpose-specific permissions cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The external device (smartphone or PC) acts as an intermediary between the user and the electronic device. It displays the permission screen, obtains user consent for purpose-specific permissions, and transmits the consent information to the electronic device. This mediator approach enables compliance with modern privacy regulations while maintaining compatibility with legacy electronic devices that lack native purpose-specific permission support.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to work across multiple device types and operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows). The external device universally handles permission management functions regardless of the electronic device's capabilities, making the solution adaptable to various scenarios including past, present, and future devices.
2Measurement precision
If multiple permission contents are displayed separately, then user consent accuracy is improved, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple permission contents (service permission and analysis permission) are displayed together on a single permission screen. Users can review all permission items and provide consent or non-consent in one operation. This combining approach maintains consent accuracy by showing all permissions simultaneously while improving ease of operation by reducing the number of separate consent actions required.
Solution Approach 2:
While displaying multiple permissions together, each permission content is clearly segmented and labeled (service permission vs. analysis permission). This segmentation allows users to understand what they are consenting to while maintaining a unified consent workflow, balancing transparency with operational simplicity.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: an acceptance-unit configured to accept a user operation indicating whether or not consent is given to a first-permission-content, which is related to information transmission from an electronic-device, and a user operation indicating whether or not consent is given to a second-permission-content, which is different from the first-permission-content and related to information transmission from the electronic-device; and a control-unit configured so that, in a case where an operation indicating non-consent to the first-permission-content is accepted, control of transmitting to the electronic-device second-information, which corresponds to non-consent, is performed regardless of whether or not an operation indicating consent to the second-permission-content is accepted.
