HOME DATA MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031343 titled 'HOME DATA MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for configuring a secure storage unit (SSU) that consists of three portions attached to a network. The first portion stores encrypted data, the second portion stores unencrypted data, and the third portion can be attached to the network. The user can define a security level for each portion through user input. The method also involves receiving a data object for storage in the SSU and determining a data security level for the object based on user input and analysis of the object's attributes and content. The data object is then stored in the SSU according to its data security level.

  • The method involves configuring a secure storage unit (SSU) with different portions for storing encrypted and unencrypted data.
  • The user can define the security level for each portion of the SSU.
  • The method includes receiving a data object for storage in the SSU.
  • The data security level for the object is determined based on user input and analysis of the object's attributes and content.
  • The data object is stored in the SSU according to its data security level.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Secure storage of sensitive data: The method allows for the secure storage of both encrypted and unencrypted data, providing a flexible solution for storing sensitive information.
  • Data classification and protection: The ability to define security levels for different portions of the SSU and determine the data security level for each object allows for effective data classification and protection.
  • Compliance with data privacy regulations: This technology can help organizations comply with data privacy regulations by providing a secure storage solution with customizable security levels.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Data security: The method addresses the need for secure storage of data by providing a configurable SSU with different security levels for different data objects.
  • Data classification: The ability to determine the data security level based on attributes and content analysis helps in effectively classifying data and applying appropriate security measures.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Flexibility: The method allows for the configuration of different security levels for different portions of the SSU, providing flexibility in storing and accessing data.
  • Enhanced data protection: By storing data objects in the SSU according to their data security level, this technology enhances data protection and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Compliance: The method helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations by providing a secure storage solution that can be tailored to meet specific security requirements.


Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes receiving user input to configure a secure storage unit (ssu) having a first portion attached to a network and storing encrypted data, a second portion attached to the network and storing unencrypted data, and a third portion attachable to the network. the user input defines a security level for each portion. the method also includes receiving a data object for storage in the ssu, and determining a data security level for the data object; the data security level is determined by user input regarding the data object and/or analysis of the data object by the processing system, and the analysis includes analysis of attributes of the data object and/or content of the data object. the method further includes storing the data object in the ssu according to the data security level. other embodiments are disclosed.
