Trusted Center Personal Data Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users lack control over their personal data and face risks when sharing it, as existing systems fail to provide adequate protection, transparency, and monetization options, leading to distrust and potential harm to their credibility and future prospects.
Innovation Solution
A trusted center system that allows users to manage and control their personal data through categorized access conditions, verification processes, and financial compensation, providing transparency and protection while enabling users to monetize their data securely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users share personal data with service providers to improve service quality and enable data-based services, then service functionality and quality improve, but user privacy protection and control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments personal data into different categories (e.g., public, private, confidential) and implements category-specific access controls. Users can selectively share different data categories with different service providers, enabling service functionality while maintaining privacy protection for sensitive information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a trusted third-party intermediary system that acts as a mediator between users and service providers. This intermediary verifies user identities, enforces access policies, and ensures that data sharing occurs only under authorized conditions, thereby protecting user privacy while enabling legitimate data usage.
2Quantity of substance
If third parties access personal data for market studies and targeted advertising, then commercial value is realized, but user control and trust deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic access controls where users can modify their data sharing preferences at any time. Access policies are not static but can be adjusted based on changing user needs, allowing users to grant or revoke permissions as circumstances change, thereby maintaining control over their personal data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that notify users when their personal data is accessed by third parties. Users receive information about who accessed their data, when, and for what purpose, enabling them to make informed decisions about their data sharing preferences and adjust their control settings accordingly.
3Productivity
If automated checks are used to verify data quality, then verification efficiency improves, but detection precision deteriorates when users employ sophisticated evasion techniques
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple verification methods including automated checks, manual review processes, and cross-validation techniques. By merging these different approaches, the system maintains high verification efficiency while improving detection precision through layered validation that can identify sophisticated evasion techniques.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary verification steps before data is fully processed or stored. Data undergoes initial automated screening and flagging of suspicious entries, allowing potential issues to be identified early and subjected to more thorough verification, thereby maintaining both efficiency and precision.

AI summary
There is a need for a system and method that is designed to give full and continued control of his data by a user, gain the trust of the average individual, encouraging such individual to become an open-minded and trustful user of such system. It is proposed a method to control the access of personal data of a user by a trusted centre comprising at least one database comprising for a specific user, memory locations for personal data, access conditions associated to the personal data and management data comprising at least a counter, - loading by a user into the database of the trusted center, its personal data and assigning access conditions to said data, said personal data being divided into at least two categories having two different access conditions, each category being associated with a user's value, - requesting access to the trusted centre by a third party to the personal data of a plurality of users, said request comprising search criteria, - executing by the trusted center the search criteria on the personal data of the users so as to determine a first set of users matching the search criteria, - returning to the third party information showing the quantity of the first set of users matching the criteria, as well as the sum of the user's value of each user of the first set, - acknowledging all of part of the sum by the third party, thus defining a second set of users that can comprise all or part of the first set, - returning the personal data of the second set of user for which the sum covers the accumulated values of the extracted users, - updating the counter of the second set of users with the content of the value of their respective personal data.
