METHOD, SERVER, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521060 titled 'METHOD, SERVER, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves associating data managers with different models of home appliances, managing data items generated by these appliances, recording provision record information linking data items and managers, and determining the amount to be transferred to a data manager when a data user uses a data item.

  • Data managers are associated with various models of home appliances.
  • Data managers manage data items generated by the home appliances.
  • Provision record information is recorded, linking data items and data managers.
  • When a data user uses a data item, the system determines the amount to be transferred to the data manager.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smart home systems, IoT devices, and data management platforms for home appliances.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently managing and transferring data generated by multiple home appliances to the respective data managers.

Benefits

The method streamlines data management processes for home appliances, ensures proper data transfer, and enhances overall system efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include smart home automation systems, data management services for home appliance manufacturers, and IoT platforms.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be data management systems for IoT devices or smart home appliances that involve data transfer and management processes.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method ensure data security and privacy for users and their data?

The abstract does not provide details on how data security and privacy are maintained within the system.

What are the specific criteria used to determine the amount to be transferred to a data manager for a used data item?

The abstract does not elaborate on the specific criteria or algorithms used to calculate the amount to be transferred to a data manager.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes: associating one or more data managers with mutually different models of a plurality of home appliances the one or more data managers managing data items generated by the plurality of home appliances; recording provision record information in which data identification information and manager identification information are associated with each other, the data identification information identifying each of one or more data items generated by the plurality of home appliances, the manager identification information identifying each of the one or more data managers; and determining, when the one or more data items include a used data item used by a data user, an amount to be transferred to a data manager that manages the used data item, based on the provision record information.
