Targeted Information Sharing via Access Rights Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for presenting information to users, such as in instant messaging, lack efficient methods for selectively displaying and sharing targeted information based on user profiles and preferences, leading to incomplete or inappropriate information dissemination.
Innovation Solution
A method that detects targets, selects a target, displays associated information, determines if it should be shared based on information type, and shares it with the target, utilizing a system with modules for profile management, target detection, storage, interface control, and access rights, allowing users to customize and manage information access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If information is displayed to users in instant messaging systems, then information dissemination is achieved, but information privacy and appropriateness cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by associating different access rights with different types of information. Each piece of information is tagged with an access right indicator that specifies who can access it (e.g., creator only, friends, public). This allows the system to selectively control information access based on local properties of each information item rather than applying a uniform access policy, thereby ensuring privacy while enabling appropriate dissemination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of an access rights management system that mediates between information creators and potential viewers. The system automatically evaluates access rights based on user profiles, relationships, and information types, acting as a mediator that grants or denies access without requiring manual intervention from the creator for each information item, thus balancing privacy protection with ease of operation.
2Reliability
If all information is shared with targets, then complete information dissemination is achieved, but inappropriate information may be shared
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining access rights for different types of information before the information is shared. When information is created or imported, the system automatically assigns appropriate access rights based on the information type and user profile. This preliminary classification ensures that only appropriate information is shared with each target, maintaining information integrity without requiring manual review at the time of sharing.
3Loss of information
If selective information sharing is implemented, then information privacy is protected, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically manage access rights without requiring manual configuration by users. The access rights management module automatically evaluates user profiles, information types, and relationships to determine appropriate access levels. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining robust privacy protection, as the system serves itself by making intelligent access decisions based on pre-defined criteria.

AI summary
In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses detect a plurality of targets; select one of the plurality of targets as a selected target; detect a profile associated with the selected target; and display information associated with the selected target, wherein the information is referenced in the profile associated with the selected target.
