Remote Server Trust Level Assessment for Device Fraud Prevention

The patent introduces a remote server as an intermediary between user devices. The server collects device information, determines trust levels, and provides assessments to requesting devices. This intermediary approach resolves the contradiction by centralizing complex data processing and trust assessment algorithms on the server side, while keeping individual user devices simple. The server acts as a mediator that handles the complexity of information collection and analysis, allowing reliable trust assessment without increasing the complexity of individual devices.

The patent implements preliminary action by having user devices automatically send their information reports to the remote server in advance, before any trust assessment is needed. The server stores these reports and pre-computes trust levels based on the collected information. When a trust assessment is requested, the server can quickly retrieve pre-analyzed data rather than collecting and processing information in real-time. This resolves the contradiction by performing data collection and initial processing beforehand, enabling fast trust level retrieval without sacrificing measurement precision.

The patent extracts sensitive device information from individual devices and centralizes it on a secure remote server. Only processed trust level assessments, not raw device data, are transmitted to requesting devices. The server acts as a secure repository that handles sensitive information, applying access controls and processing logic to protect data security. This resolves the contradiction by taking out sensitive information from distributed devices and concentrating security management on the server side, enabling easy trust level access while maintaining information security through centralized control.
