Privacy Management System Rerouting Data to Secondary Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in protecting and accessing private data, particularly in public areas or when using devices that may expose data to malicious entities, and individuals with disabilities face barriers in accessing their private information due to differing physical capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A privacy management system that identifies private data and reroutes it from a primary electronic device to a secondary device, providing secure and accessible presentation, such as through a Braille watch, while blocking public access to the primary device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If private data is presented on the primary electronic device, then data accessibility is improved, but data security and privacy protection deteriorate due to exposure to malicious entities and public viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts private data from the primary electronic device and redirects it to a secondary device for presentation. The processor identifies private data within user data and separates it from non-private data, sending only the private portion to the secondary device while blocking its presentation on the primary device. This extraction principle removes the harmful exposure risk while preserving accessibility through the secondary device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a secondary electronic device as an intermediary for presenting private data. The processor acts as a mediator that routes private data through this intermediate device, which has restricted access capabilities (e.g., no camera, no microphone, limited connectivity). This intermediary approach allows private data to be accessible while protecting it from direct exposure to external threats.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If private data is blocked on the primary electronic device, then data security is improved, but data accessibility deteriorates for users with disabilities who need alternative access methods
Solution Approach 1:
The secondary electronic device is designed with multi-functionality to serve both security and accessibility needs. It can present private data in multiple formats (visual, auditory, tactile through Braille) to accommodate different user capabilities while maintaining security restrictions. This universal design allows the same device to protect data from exposure while providing accessible access methods for users with various disabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the presentation parameters of private data by redirecting it to a device with different output capabilities. The secondary device can alter how data is presented (e.g., through audio output for visually impaired users, or Braille for blind users) while maintaining the same security protections. This parameter change allows accessibility adaptation without compromising security.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If all user data is processed and routed through a privacy management system, then privacy protection is improved, but system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The privacy management system segments user data into private and non-private categories using automated classification. The processor analyzes data types and applies different routing rules to each segment, sending only identified private data to the secondary device while allowing non-private data to be presented on the primary device without restriction. This segmentation reduces the volume of data requiring complex privacy handling and simplifies system operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service mechanisms where the processor automatically identifies and classifies private data without requiring manual user input or configuration. The device autonomously determines which data requires protected presentation and routes it accordingly, reducing the operational complexity for users while maintaining comprehensive privacy protection.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for privatized presentation of private data are provided. In certain embodiments, private data contained within received electronic data is identified. Based at least in part upon the identified private data, a determination is made as to whether privatized presentation of the private data should be performed. When the privatized presentation should be performed, a primary electronic device response including non-private data of the electronic data and an indication of a location of the private data in the electronic data is generated. The primary electronic device response is provided to a primary electronic device. The indication of the location of the private data is used to instruct the primary electronic device to refrain from presenting the private data. Instead, the private data is presented to a secondary electronic device tasked with presenting the private data in lieu of the primary electronic device.
