Real Estate Data Authentication via Property-Local Rolling Codes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in securely managing real estate data, particularly in authenticating and accessing accurate information due to duplication and conflicting records across various platforms, which can be difficult to authenticate.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that includes a real estate data container with an authentication device generating rolling codes, ensuring access is restricted to individuals physically present at the property, using communication modules for secure data transfer, and separating data into restricted and unrestricted categories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If real estate data is made publicly accessible online, then ease of access to information is improved, but data security and authenticity are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments real estate data into multiple categories (publicly accessible data, restricted data, and confidential data) with different access levels. This allows the system to provide easy access to general information while protecting sensitive data, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and authenticity by implementing a hierarchical data structure where only verified users can access authenticated information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication system that acts as a mediator between users and real estate data. This authentication mechanism verifies user identities and grants appropriate access levels, ensuring data authenticity while maintaining ease of access for authorized users. The intermediary layer protects data reliability without completely blocking public access.
2Ease of operation
If real estate data is stored in centralized online databases, then ease of access is improved, but data security and control over access are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by allowing different access controls for different data elements within the same system. Each real estate property can have its own access restrictions and authentication requirements, enabling easy access to public information while preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. This localized access control resolves the contradiction between accessibility and security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic access controls that can change based on user authentication status, time, and other factors. The system can dynamically adjust access levels, allowing easy access during certain conditions while restricting access during others, thereby maintaining both accessibility and security flexibility.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple third parties provide real estate data across various platforms, then data availability is improved, but data accuracy and verification are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the authentication system verifies data sources and provides feedback on data authenticity. The system can cross-reference data from multiple third parties, verify their credentials, and provide feedback on which data sources are reliable, thereby maintaining high data availability while ensuring accuracy through continuous verification feedback.
Data Source
AI summary
The embodiments provide a system and method for maintaining real estate data in a secure manner. Access to the data for a given real estate property is restricted by using an authentication device that is physically located at the same real estate property. The authentication device may provide a rolling authentication code that can be entered by the user requesting access to the data. In another embodiment, access to the data for a given real estate property is restricted by using a real estate data unit that is physically stored on the premises. Access to the data may therefore be restricted to users who are close enough to connect with the data unit via wired or wireless communication methods. The data unit and/or authentication device may include a device housing and an installation portion. The installation portion may be configured to attach to part of a building and/or lot.
