Granular Vehicle Data Access Control via Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need to manage collected transportation vehicle data in a way that allows users to monitor and control how their data is accessed and used, as existing methods do not provide sufficient transparency or user control over the usage of user-specific and user-unspecific data stored in databases.
Innovation Solution
A method for managing transportation vehicle data in a database that includes storing data with information about permissible use, allowing users to specify their desired manner of use, updating access controls, and ensuring that data is erased when a ban is set, including requests for erasure of local copies to prevent further use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If transportation vehicle data is collected and stored in a database for analytical purposes and service provision, then the quantity and utility of available data increases, but user control and transparency over data usage deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data usage permissions into different categories (analytical purposes, service provision, third-party access) and implements granular user controls for each category. Users can independently manage permissions for each data type and usage scenario, transforming a monolithic data management system into manageable segments that provide both comprehensive data collection and fine-grained user control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data access is permitted for multiple applications and third parties, then the versatility and utility of data increases, but security and unauthorized access risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by requiring users to pre-configure their data usage preferences and permissions before any data access occurs. The system stores these advance directives and automatically enforces them when applications or third parties request data access, preventing unauthorized access before it can happen rather than relying on post-access security measures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that notify users of data access requests and usage patterns. The system provides continuous feedback to users about who is accessing their data and for what purposes, enabling users to monitor and adjust their permissions in real-time based on actual usage patterns, thus maintaining security while allowing versatile data use.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If data retention period is extended for long-term analysis, then the value for historical analysis increases, but user privacy concerns and data deletion requests increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making data retention periods flexible and adjustable rather than fixed. Users can dynamically change their data retention preferences at any time, and the system automatically adjusts how long data is retained based on current user preferences. This transforms static data retention policies into dynamic, user-controllable timeframes that balance historical analysis value with ongoing privacy concerns.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for managing collected transportation vehicle data relating to a transportation vehicle in a database. The transportation vehicle data are stored in the database together with information relating to a permissible use of the transportation vehicle data. The database allows access to the transportation vehicle data only according to the information relating to the permissible use. The method includes receiving information relating to a desired use of the transportation vehicle data and updating the information relating to the permissible use of the transportation vehicle data according to the information relating to the desired use of the transportation vehicle data.
