Centralized Personal Data Control Rating System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for controlling personal user data across different ecosystems lack standardized functionality, leading to inconsistent control and access management across various services and applications.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for assessing and controlling access rights to personal user data by evaluating the functional capabilities of connected services through a centralized personal data control system, using API weighting factors and user-defined requirements to calculate a personal data control rating, which determines privileges and access permissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If centralized control systems use unified APIs within a specific ecosystem, then control consistency is improved, but adaptability to services from different ecosystems deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a rating system as an intermediary layer between the centralized control system and external services. This rating system assesses and compares the functional capabilities of different services across various ecosystems, enabling the control system to adapt to diverse API structures while maintaining consistent control through standardized evaluation criteria and user requirement mapping.
2Adaptability or versatility
If services have their own proprietary APIs, then service versatility is improved, but control consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the control mechanism by changing the parameters of service evaluation from direct API integration to functional capability assessment. The system evaluates services based on their functional capabilities against predefined user requirements and assigns ratings, thereby maintaining control consistency across diverse service APIs through a standardized evaluation framework.
3Ease of operation
If user control functionality is implemented in each service, then user control capability is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal control mechanism where a single centralized system can manage user control across multiple services. The rating system serves multiple functions: it assesses service capabilities, compares services against user requirements, and determines appropriate control levels. This multi-functional approach consolidates control logic centrally, reducing the complexity that would otherwise be distributed across each individual service.

AI summary
Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for controlling privileges of consumers of personal data. An example method includes: formulating user requirements to personal data control quality; determining weighting factors for corresponding functions of application programming interfaces (APIs) for personal data control of a centralized personal data control system based on the formulated user requirements to personal data control quality; determining correspondence between the functions of APIs for personal data control of the centralized personal data control system and functions of APIs for personal data control of the consumer of personal data; calculating a personal data control rating of the consumer of personal data based on the determined correspondence and the determined weighting factors; and determining the privileges of the consumer of personal data based on the personal data control rating of the consumer of personal data.
