Solution Overview

Problem

Current data privacy management systems face challenges in providing enhanced protection and improving data portability, as they often require significant time and effort from individuals to set privacy preferences and make personal data requests, leading to low participation rates.

Innovation Solution

A data privacy management system and method that utilizes a computing system with a processor to receive communication requests, collect usage data, generate a quick response code embedded with usage data and a link, and transmit this code to user devices, enhancing data portability and privacy protection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If customer service channels are used to set privacy preferences and make personal data requests, then data privacy protection is provided, but the time and effort required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata privacy protectionVSAvoidtime and effort required

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical customer service channels (phone calls, in-person visits, written requests) with an automated electronic system that uses QR codes and machine-readable formats to enable instant data portability requests and privacy preference settings, eliminating the time-consuming manual processes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables individuals to autonomously initiate data portability requests and set privacy preferences through self-service interfaces accessible via QR codes, eliminating the need for customer service intermediary channels and significantly reducing the time and effort required

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If customer service channels are used for privacy preferences and personal data requests, then data privacy management is achieved, but the process becomes intrusive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata privacy managementVSAvoidintrusiveness

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces intrusive customer service interactions with automated electronic communications and QR code-based interfaces, allowing users to manage their privacy preferences and data requests without human intervention, thereby reducing intrusiveness while maintaining management capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If optional privacy preferences and personal data requests are offered through customer service channels, then some level of privacy control is provided, but participation rates remain low

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprivacy controlVSAvoidparticipation rate

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces cumbersome customer service channels with streamlined electronic interfaces and QR code systems that simplify the process of setting privacy preferences and making data requests, making the process so convenient that participation rates increase while maintaining full privacy control capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

By enabling autonomous self-service through QR codes and electronic interfaces, the system removes barriers to participation that existed in manual customer service processes, allowing individuals to easily exercise their privacy rights without requiring significant time or effort

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

4Ease of operation

If data is provided in commonly used machine-readable format for data portability, then data can be easily transferred, but data privacy protection mechanisms become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata portabilityVSAvoidprivacy protection mechanism complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal QR code-based interface that handles multiple functions (data portability requests, privacy preference settings, communication requests) through a single standardized mechanism, simplifying the overall system while enabling easy data transfer in machine-readable formats

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A data privacy system and method is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one processor, at least one memory device including computer-readable instructions, and at least one user device in communication with the at least one processor via a network connection. The at least one processor, upon execution of the computer-readable instructions, is configured to generate a predictive model during training of a machine learning program using a training data set including a personal data set of one or more users. The predictive model is configured to predict at least one predicted data privacy and/or data portability measure of at least one of the users. At least one quick response code embedded with data or a link to the data based upon the at least one predicted data privacy and/or data portability measure is generated to provide enhanced data privacy protection and data portability.
