Notification Aggregation with Privacy Annotation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The proliferation of computing devices generates vast amounts of data that is not effectively utilized due to the difficulty in aggregating and accessing this information.
Innovation Solution
A system that aggregates notifications from unmanaged devices and managed services, annotates them with privacy and compensation data, and generates informational alerts based on these annotations, allowing for better utilization of the collected data through standing and ad-hoc queries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data is collected from multiple devices and services, then the quantity and variety of data increases, but the difficulty of aggregating and accessing the data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (data aggregation platform) that acts as a mediator between multiple data sources and users. This platform receives data from various devices and services, standardizes the data formats, and provides unified access mechanisms, thereby reducing the complexity of data aggregation and access while enabling utilization of large quantities of data from diverse sources
2Adaptability or versatility
If notifications are shared with others, then the utility and value of the data increases, but privacy protection requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating privacy protection levels for different data elements. The system annotates individual notifications with specific privacy data indicating the terms under which each notification may be provided to others. This allows selective sharing of data based on privacy preferences, enabling data utility while protecting sensitive information through granular, location-specific privacy controls
3Ease of operation
If data is annotated with privacy and compensation information, then the manageability and control of data increases, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by annotating notifications with privacy and compensation data at the point of data collection, before the data is aggregated or processed further. This preliminary annotation establishes governance rules upfront, making subsequent data management and sharing operations simpler and more automated, as the privacy and compensation terms are already determined and attached to each data element
Data Source
AI summary
Concepts and technologies are described herein for generating informational alerts. Notifications are received from both unmanaged devices and managed services. The received notifications may be annotated to create annotated notations. The notifications may be annotated with privacy data that defines the terms under which the notifications may be provided to others. The notifications may also be annotated with compensation data that defines the financial terms under which the notifications may be provided to others. Standing and ad-hoc queries may be performed against the annotated notifications. The results of the queries may be provided to one or more user devices as an informational alert.
