Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack granular control over data handling throughout its lifecycle, leading to inefficient use of resources and inadequate ethical considerations at different stages, such as storage and deletion, due to uniform application of restrictions across all stages.

Innovation Solution

A super-platform that receives and aggregates data from multiple sources, applying specific sets of restrictions at various stages of the data lifecycle, including generation, storage, analysis, and deletion, allowing for more nuanced ethical considerations and resource management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If uniform restrictions are applied across all stages of data lifecycle, then ethical compliance is maintained, but resource consumption increases and control granularity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveethical complianceVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The data lifecycle is segmented into distinct stages (generation, collection, storage, analysis, archiving, deletion), with specific restrictions applied to each stage. This segmentation allows the system to apply only necessary restrictions at each phase, reducing overall resource consumption while maintaining ethical compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different restriction policies are applied to different stages of the data lifecycle based on the specific ethical considerations and resource requirements of each stage. For example, stricter restrictions may be applied to storage stages involving sensitive personal information, while less restrictive policies apply to anonymized data analysis stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Stability of the object's composition

If uniform restrictions are applied across all stages of data lifecycle, then consistency is maintained, but control granularity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverestriction consistencyVSAvoidcontrol granularity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The restriction framework is segmented into stage-specific policy sets that can be independently configured. Each stage (generation, collection, storage, analysis, archiving, deletion) has its own customizable restriction rules, enabling granular control while maintaining overall system consistency through centralized management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The restriction application is made dynamic by allowing different restriction sets to be applied at different lifecycle stages. The system can adaptively adjust the stringency and type of restrictions based on the current stage, data sensitivity, and organizational policies, providing both consistency and granularity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If stage-specific restrictions are applied, then resource efficiency improves and control granularity increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The super-platform implements a universal restriction management system that handles multiple data types, stages, and policy requirements through a single integrated framework. This multi-functional approach reduces system complexity by consolidating what could be multiple separate systems into one cohesive platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary restriction management layer that sits between data operations and underlying storage/processing systems. This intermediary translates high-level ethical requirements into stage-specific technical restrictions, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling granular control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Techniques are described for receiving data generated by multiple platforms of different types, and managing the data in multiple stages of a data lifecycle associated with a super-platform. An end-user (e.g., data discloser) may interact with multiple individual (e.g., siloed) platforms of different types. The individual platforms may generate data describing, and/or resulting from, these interactions with end-user(s). The data from the various individual platforms may be received, ingested, stored, analyzed, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed by a super-platform during various stages of a data lifecycle. In some implementations, the end-user, the super-platform, and/or the individual platform(s) may provide one or more restrictions on how the data may be handled in each of the stages of the data lifecycle.
