Information Intermediary for Secure Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for information transmission between first and second information providers, such as in banner advertisements, lack compatibility and security, as the second information provider cannot adapt to the first information and is vulnerable to misrepresentation by third parties due to the misuse of unique identifiers.
Innovation Solution
A method involving an information intermediary that generates and manages a unique identifier, allowing the second information provider to receive data about the first information, ensuring compatibility and security by using asymmetric and symmetric encryption, and reducing bandwidth requirements through minimal data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a unique identifier is transmitted from the first information provider to the second information provider to enable compatibility, then the second information provider can adapt the second information to the first information, but the unique identifier can be misused or hijacked by third parties to make third parties' information look like first information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information intermediary that acts as a trusted mediator between the first and second information providers. The intermediary generates the unique identifier based on analyzed data about the first information and transmits it to the second information provider. This intermediary architecture ensures that only authorized parties can obtain valid identifiers, preventing third-party hijacking while maintaining the adaptability benefit.
Solution Approach 2:
The information intermediary performs preliminary analysis of the first information before generating the unique identifier. By analyzing the content in advance and creating the identifier based on this analysis, the system ensures that the identifier is tightly bound to the specific first information content, making it difficult for third parties to misuse or hijack the identifier for unrelated content.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data regarding the first information is transmitted to the second information provider to ensure compatibility, then the second information provider can choose compatible second information, but bandwidth requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential elements needed for compatibility - specifically, a compact unique identifier generated from the analyzed data about the first information. Instead of transmitting the entire first information content to the second information provider, only this condensed identifier is transmitted, dramatically reducing bandwidth requirements while still enabling the second information provider to retrieve relevant data about the first information through the intermediary.
Solution Approach 2:
The information intermediary creates a simplified representation or copy of the first information in the form of a unique identifier. This identifier serves as a reference that allows the second information provider to obtain necessary compatibility data without transmitting the full original information content, thus reducing bandwidth usage while maintaining adaptability.
3Speed
If placeholders are used to load second information to maintain loading speed, then the loading speed of the first information provider's web page is not negatively affected, but the second information provider cannot know anything about the first information or the first information provider
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the unique identifier enables the second information provider to query the information intermediary for data about the first information. This feedback loop allows the second information provider to receive relevant information about the first information content while the placeholder architecture maintains fast loading speeds, as the detailed information exchange occurs asynchronously after the initial page load.

AI summary
The invention, which may relate to banner advertisements, involves a method for transmitting information from a first information provider (100) to a second information provider (400) via an information intermediary (200), wherein the information intermediary (200) at a first point in time, receives (203) first information (500) from the first information provider (100) and generates (204) data regarding the first information, and at a second point in time, receives (210) a unique identifier (502) from the second information provider (400), the unique identifier (502) being uniquely associated with the first information (500) and being generated by the first information provider (100) and being transmitted from the first information provider (100) to the second information provider (400) and transmits (213) the data regarding the first information to the second information provider (400).
