Privacy Server Data Segmentation Across Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in protecting and managing data privacy across multiple users and devices, particularly in ensuring secure data sharing and protection from unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
A privacy server system that enables secure data sharing across multiple user devices by receiving and provisioning data sharing permissions, encrypting data, and communicating encrypted data according to set permissions, ensuring that only authorized devices can access and share user data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data is shared across multiple devices for user convenience, then data accessibility and ease of operation are improved, but data security and risk of unauthorized access worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data into different types (account data, activity data, preference data) and applies different permission levels to each type. Each device receives only the specific data segments it needs based on its function and authorization level, rather than providing all data to all devices. This segmentation allows broad data accessibility while maintaining security through granular control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by assigning different data sharing permissions to different devices based on their specific roles and requirements. Each device receives a customized set of permissions tailored to its function (e.g., camera device gets photo permissions, messaging device gets communication permissions). This ensures each device has appropriate access without unnecessary exposure to all data types.
2Reliability
If centralized data management is implemented across multiple devices, then data consistency and system reliability are improved, but system complexity and difficulty of management worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data management functions into a centralized server that handles permission provisioning, data distribution, and consistency maintenance across all devices. The server consolidates the complex task of managing data sharing policies, while devices receive simplified local configurations. This centralization ensures data consistency without requiring complex distributed management on each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between users and multiple devices. The server acts as a mediator that receives user permission settings, processes them into device-specific configurations, and distributes appropriate data and permissions to each device. This intermediary layer simplifies the management interface for users while maintaining centralized control over data consistency across the ecosystem.

AI summary
Systems and methods for protection of data across multiple users and devices are disclosed. According to one embodiment, in privacy server comprising at least one computer processor, a method for protection of data across multiple users and devices may include: (1) receiving, from a first user device, a data sharing permission for the first user device and a data sharing permission for a second user device, the first user device and the second user device associated with the same user; (2) provisioning the data sharing permission for the second user device; and (3) communicating the provisioned data sharing permission to the second user device, wherein the second user device shares data with the first user device according to the provisioned data sharing permission.
