User Data Permissioning With Rules-Engine Selective Sharing

The patent segments user data into distinct categories (e.g., demographic data, behavioral data, transactional data) and allows users to grant access to experience providers on a selective basis. The rules engine processes these segmented data requests individually, enabling fine-grained control over which data types are shared and with which providers, thereby maintaining security while enabling productive data sharing.

The patent introduces a centralized data management platform as an intermediary between users and experience providers. This platform includes a rules engine that mediates data access requests by evaluating user-defined policies, authenticating requests, and selectively dispensing data. The intermediary handles authentication, authorization, and data routing, allowing users to maintain control and security while experience providers efficiently access needed data.

The patent implements a universal data management platform that serves multiple functions: data collection from various experience providers, data storage in a centralized repository, policy evaluation through the rules engine, and selective data dispensing to authorized providers. This multi-functional system handles diverse data types and provider requirements through a single unified architecture, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

The patent employs configurable parameters in the rules engine that allow dynamic adjustment of data access policies without modifying the core system architecture. Users can change parameters such as data categories, access timeframes, and provider lists through policy configurations. This parameter-based approach enables flexible adaptation to different sharing scenarios while keeping the underlying system structure simple and stable.

The patent enables users to self-manage their data sharing preferences through an intuitive interface where they can define policies for different data categories and select authorized experience providers. The system automatically applies these user-defined rules to all data requests, eliminating the need for manual intervention in each transaction. Users maintain full control over their data while the system handles the operational complexity automatically.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that notify users when data requests are processed, showing which providers accessed which data types and when. This feedback loop allows users to verify that their control policies are being enforced correctly and provides transparency into data sharing activities. The feedback feature enhances user confidence in the system while maintaining ease of operation by automating the monitoring and enforcement processes.
