Life State Information Filtering Through User-Controlled Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search engines lack accuracy in delivering information tailored to a user's life state, which encompasses demographic, ethnic, social, and psychological aspects, due to inadequate consideration of privacy rights, user feedback mechanisms, and continuous improvement mechanisms, leading to invasive and irrelevant search results.
Innovation Solution
An information delivery system that allows users to grant approved third parties access to their life state information, filtered through a centralized server, enabling customized and relevant information delivery via a portal, with rating and marketplace functionalities to ensure alignment and quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If search engines use web crawlers to extract information from websites, then the quantity of information available increases, but the accuracy and relevance of search results deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where users rate the relevance and accuracy of delivered information. This feedback is continuously processed to improve the filtering algorithms, allowing the system to learn from user responses and progressively enhance result accuracy while maintaining high information quantity through multiple approved third-party sources
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized server as an intermediary between web crawlers and users. This server acts as a mediator that receives information from multiple third-party sources, applies filtering based on user life state, and delivers refined results. The intermediary processes and validates information before delivery, ensuring accuracy while maintaining quantity
2Measurement precision
If search engines deliver more accurate search results, then user satisfaction improves, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the search functionality into distinct modules: web crawlers for information gathering, a centralized server for coordination and filtering, third-party information sources, and user profile management. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall accuracy while managing complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized server performs multiple functions including coordinating web crawlers, managing user life state information, filtering content from third parties, and delivering results. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate complex systems while maintaining high accuracy through integrated processing
3Measurement precision
If the system accesses user life state information for personalized delivery, then information relevance improves, but privacy concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
Users actively provide and maintain their own life state information through the system interface, controlling what aspects of their life are shared. This self-service approach empowers users to manage their own privacy settings and information accuracy, reducing the system's need to invasively collect data while maintaining high personalization and relevance
4Measurement precision
If the system continuously updates user life state information, then information accuracy improves, but the frequency of data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic updates of user life state information rather than continuous monitoring. Users can update their life state at scheduled intervals or trigger updates based on significant life events. This periodic approach maintains information accuracy over time while significantly reducing the continuous data processing burden on the system

AI summary
A method for enabling a user to view information filtered to align with the user's life state includes enabling the user to register and become a member of an information delivery system. The user provides the information about the user's life state. This information may include at least demographic information, ethnic information, social information and psychological information. The user may grant partners permission to access the information about the user's life. The granting of the permissions is performed and controlled by the user and may be limited to some information about the user's life. The partners are also members of the information delivery system. The partners are evaluated using a set of criteria before they become members of the information delivery system. The partners may use the information about the user's life to filter its information according to the information about the user's life. The method also enables the partner to participate in a marketplace to procure the information about the user's life, to rate the user according to the user's behavior, and to enable search engines to filter search results according to the information about the user's life.
