Localized Permission-Based Personal Information Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for storing and sharing personal information are prone to data breaches and regulatory risks due to long-term storage, leading to security concerns and compliance challenges for both users and businesses.
Innovation Solution
A decentralized, localized permission-based system that securely stores personal information on a user's device and temporarily shares it with third-parties upon verified and authorized requests, using biometric verification and a trusted intermediary to reduce data privacy concerns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If personal information is stored long-term in centralized databases, then efficient access and streamlined transactions are achieved, but data breach risks and regulatory compliance burdens increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts personal information from centralized databases and stores it locally on user devices. The system retrieves only necessary data portions during transactions, eliminating the need for persistent centralized storage and reducing breach risks while maintaining access efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing personal information locally on user devices and pre-establishing permission frameworks. This allows rapid transaction processing without requiring real-time centralized database queries, thus improving efficiency while reducing centralized storage risks.
2Ease of operation
If personal information is stored long-term in centralized databases, then streamlined transaction processing is enabled, but regulatory compliance risks and fines increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts personal information from centralized databases and stores it locally on user devices. The system retrieves only necessary data portions during transactions, eliminating the need for persistent centralized storage and reducing breach risks while maintaining access efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic data sharing where personal information is temporarily accessed and immediately disposed of after transactions. This dynamic approach replaces static long-term storage, enabling streamlined processing while minimizing regulatory exposure through reduced data retention.
3Reliability
If personal information is temporarily accessed and immediately disposed, then data privacy risks are minimized, but system complexity increases due to decentralized storage and permission management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a trusted intermediary component that manages the complex permission verification and data retrieval processes. This intermediary handles the coordination between decentralized storage and transaction requirements, simplifying the user interface while maintaining security through automated permission checks and temporary data access management.

AI summary
A just in time personal information sharing system employs short-range wireless communication to detect the presence of a user and identify them prior to sharing the user's information. The user stores personally identifying information within their user device and controls which parties it may be shared with. Subsequently when a user is detected within a location using a wireless terminal, the user's presence is verified using a biometric profile, and if confirmed, then the user's personally identifying information is shared with the other transacting party for temporary use in completing a desired transaction. In this manner, no transacting party is required to maintain user information, and in addition, a user controls their own information and its sharing without the need for arduous user input to facilitate the same.
