Selective Mobility Data Access for Service Quality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Service providers face challenges in enabling users to balance privacy with the quality of service by having all-or-nothing access to privacy-sensitive user data, such as mobility data, which affects the level of service provided.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows users to selectively control access to historical mobility data by determining a first part necessary for service provision and a second part that can enhance service quality, providing a user interface to choose the data to share with service providers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If service providers access all user mobility data, then service quality improves, but user privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments user mobility data into different categories (e.g., location data, movement patterns, historical trajectories) and allows selective sharing of specific segments. The system divides the data access permission into granular levels, enabling users to share only the segments necessary for service delivery while protecting sensitive segments, thus resolving the contradiction between service quality and privacy exposure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by allowing different levels of data access for different service purposes. Instead of uniform all-or-nothing access, the system applies differentiated access rights where specific data elements are shared with specific providers for specific services, optimizing service quality while minimizing privacy exposure through localized data sharing decisions.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If service providers access minimal user mobility data, then user privacy is protected, but service quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by enabling users to share exactly the portion of mobility data needed for each service rather than all data or no data. The system dynamically determines the minimal necessary data subset required to achieve acceptable service quality, allowing users to provide partial data access that is sufficient for service delivery while maintaining privacy protection.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If users have full control over data sharing decisions, then privacy is protected, but service delivery complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling users to independently configure their data sharing preferences through intuitive interfaces. Users can自主ly select which data segments to share with which providers based on service requirements, with the system automatically managing the complex data access policies without requiring intermediary intervention, thus balancing privacy control with manageable complexity.
4Productivity
If service providers receive comprehensive mobility data, then delivery optimization improves, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies extraction by isolating and extracting only the specific mobility data elements that are necessary for delivery optimization (e.g., home location, work location, movement patterns) from the complete user data set. The system extracts and transmits only these relevant segments to service providers, improving delivery optimization capabilities while reducing the overall data volume that needs to be processed and transmitted.

AI summary
An approach is provided for providing user control of historical mobility data accessed by a service related to a quality of the service to be delivered to the user. The approach involves receiving a request from the user to receive the service from a service provider. The quality of service is dependent on historical mobility data associated with the user. The approach also involves determining a first part of the historical mobility data that is to be provided to the service provider to receive the service. The approach further involves determining a second part of the historical mobility data that is predicted to increase the quality of service of the service. The approach further involves providing a user interface for the user to select between the first part, the second part, another part, or a combination thereof of the historical mobility data to provide to the service provider.
