Personal Information Management Server for Multi-Server Update Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The management of personal information across multiple service servers is challenging due to the lack of clear processing rules, manual procedures, and varying data processing times and policies, making it difficult to complete updates and verify processing results, especially with the implementation of the EU's GDPR.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication module, processor, and memory that stores relationship information between service servers, allowing it to receive user information update requests, determine the processing order, and transmit updates across servers using a public processing key, facilitating complete and verified updates of personal information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If personal information is propagated across multiple service servers to provide comprehensive services, then service capability is improved, but management complexity and difficulty of updating information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a personal information management server as an intermediary between users and multiple service servers. This mediator receives update requests from users, determines the appropriate processing order based on relationship information between servers, and coordinates updates across all relevant service servers. This resolves the contradiction by providing comprehensive service coverage while centralizing management functions to reduce complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes relationship information between service servers, including processing orders and propagation paths, before actual information updates occur. This preliminary configuration allows the management server to efficiently coordinate updates without real-time complex decision-making, reducing management complexity while maintaining comprehensive service capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual procedures are used for processing personal information updates across servers, then flexibility is maintained, but processing efficiency and completeness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated system where the personal information management server independently determines processing orders, identifies target service servers, and coordinates updates without requiring manual intervention. The system uses pre-configured relationship information to automatically navigate the complex multi-server environment, maintaining flexibility through programmable logic while dramatically improving processing efficiency and completeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If different data processing times and policies are applied across service servers, then server autonomy is preserved, but verification of processing results and batch processing becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the personal information management server sends update requests to service servers and receives processing results in return. The system can verify whether updates were successfully applied across all servers by comparing expected outcomes with actual results. This feedback loop maintains server autonomy while enabling reliable verification of processing completeness, addressing the contradiction between autonomy and verifiability.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory storing instructions, and the processor executes instructions to implement operations including: receiving a request to update first user information from an external electronic device through the communication module, identifying a processing order of the update of the first user information for the plurality of service servers, based on the stored relationship information, and transmit the request for processing the first user information to at least a first service server from among the plurality of service servers through the communication module, based on the identified processing order.
