Cross-domain data access method for computer-implemented systems
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966492B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for coupling to data structures in different domains. The method involves receiving an access request with specific parameters, determining restrictions associated with the domain, compiling a message key, transmitting it to the requestor, and processing information requests while ensuring personal identifying information is absent from the response. The system includes computing devices configured to handle access requests, verify message keys, couple to data structures, and provide responses without revealing personal information.
Furthermore, the method and system allow for coupling to multiple domains, submitting queries to various data structures, and receiving responses from each domain. The data structures in these domains contain knowledge graphs related to individuals, and the method involves coupling these knowledge graphs for comprehensive information retrieval. Additionally, the patent covers encryption of message keys for secure transmission and decryption upon receipt, ensuring data integrity. The method also includes revoking message keys upon expiration, effectively decoupling data structures. Legal and consent restrictions are considered in the process, enhancing data privacy and compliance measures. Overall, the patent outlines a robust system for accessing and processing data across diverse domains while safeguarding personal information and adhering to legal and consent regulations.
