Location Identifier Registry for Privacy Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack efficient methods for utilizing non-locational identifiers like phone numbers, domain names, and biometric attributes as direct and precise locational identifiers for accessing and managing location-based information and services, leading to cumbersome and inaccurate location referencing.
Innovation Solution
The development of a system that registers and converts non-locational identifiers into locational identifiers, enabling their use as physical addresses within a universal Location Identifier Registry, allowing for precise and interoperable location referencing and services, including real-time information and enhanced communications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional street addresses and coordinates are used for location referencing, then location information can be accessed, but the process becomes cumbersome and operationally complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a location server as an intermediary component that mediates between users and location-based services. The server handles the complex tasks of resolving location identifiers, managing permission databases, and coordinating with multiple service providers, thereby simplifying the user interface and reducing operational complexity for service providers while maintaining accurate location referencing
2Measurement precision
If non-locational identifiers are converted to locational identifiers, then precise location referencing is enabled, but system complexity increases due to registration and conversion requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal location identifier system that can handle multiple types of identifiers (phone numbers, domain names, biometric attributes, traditional addresses) through a single unified framework. The location server provides multi-functional capabilities including registration, verification, conversion, and permission management, allowing precise location referencing across diverse identifier types without proportionally increasing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service mechanisms where the location server automatically verifies ownership of non-locational identifiers, manages permission databases, and handles conversions without requiring manual intervention for each operation. This automation reduces the operational burden despite the increased precision and functionality provided
3Reliability
If real-time location information is provided with permission-based access, then user privacy is protected, but information access speed may be reduced due to verification requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing permission databases that store authorization information before actual location queries occur. The system pre-verify ownership of identifiers and pre-establish access permissions, so that when real-time location information is requested, the verification process can quickly reference pre-stored permission data rather than performing full verification from scratch, thus maintaining both privacy protection and access speed

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for enabling uses to instantly access real-time digital content, information, and services related to specific broadcast content or communications based on the specific broadcast area of the communication or the location of the users. Identifiers, communications, and broadcast channels are maintained and dynamically tracked based on geographic location, broadcast areas, date, and time, thereby enabling end users to access such real-time content based on such information, including using broadcast specific identifiers to identify specific communications and obtain additional information over voice and other services based on each specific communication. The system tracks and uses such identifiers, communications, and channels, separately or together with other information known or ascertainable by the systems, to provide users instant access to personalized, location, context, and communications specific, content, information, and services.
