Solution Overview

Problem

Current data privacy management systems require significant time and effort for individuals to set privacy preferences and initiate personal data requests, often resulting in low participation rates due to intrusive customer service channels and optional participation.

Innovation Solution

A data privacy management system utilizing a computing system with a processor to display a data privacy dashboard, generate a quick response (QR) code embedded with privacy data, and transmit it to a user device for easy access and management of privacy preferences and data portability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If customer service channels are used for privacy preferences and data requests, then data privacy protection can be provided, but significant time and effort are required resulting in low participation rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata privacy protectionVSAvoidtime and effort for completion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simplified copy or representation of the privacy management process through QR codes that directly link to privacy dashboards, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex customer service channels. The QR code serves as a condensed access point that replicates the functionality of the full privacy management system in a single, scannable format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the QR code and associated dashboard system) between the user and the privacy management infrastructure. This intermediary simplifies the interaction by providing a direct, user-friendly interface that mediates between the user's privacy needs and the enterprise's data management systems, eliminating the need for traditional customer service channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If customer service channels are used for privacy preferences and data requests, then data privacy protection can be provided, but the channels are intrusive resulting in low participation rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata privacy protectionVSAvoidintrusiveness of channels
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The QR code creates a simplified copy of the privacy management interface that users can access directly without being subjected to intrusive customer service interactions. This copy provides the same privacy protection functionality in a non-intrusive, self-service format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables users to manage their own privacy preferences and data requests through self-service dashboards accessed via QR codes, eliminating the need for intrusive customer service channels. Users can independently view, modify, and control their data privacy settings without external intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional privacy management interfaces are used, then comprehensive privacy controls are available, but user engagement is low due to complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy preferences and data requestsVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex privacy management system into distinct, easily accessible components. The QR code serves as a separate entry point that leads to a dedicated privacy dashboard, dividing the monolithic privacy management process into manageable, user-friendly segments that can be accessed independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional, multi-step privacy management interfaces to a two-dimensional QR code that provides direct access to privacy controls. This dimensional change allows users to access comprehensive privacy functionality through a single, flat code rather than navigating through multiple interface layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

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.
