Privacy-Preserving Recommendation Generation

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240403476 titled 'Privacy-Preserving Recommendation Generation

Original Abstract Submitted

a computing device provides a user recommendation according to one or more privacy protocols. the computing device sends to a server one or more encrypted recommendation requests for recommendation information relating to a set of items, where the recommendation requests are encrypted by a cryptographic key not accessible to the server. the server uses the encrypted recommendation requests and a recommendation data store to generate one or more encrypted recommendation responses that it returns to the computing device using at least one of the privacy protocols, which prevents the server from accessing the encrypted recommendation request and recommendation response. the computing device receives from the server the encrypted recommendation responses relating to the set of items and decrypts the recommendation responses. then, the computing device generates a user recommendation relating to the set of items from the decrypted recommendation responses and provides the recommendation to the user.
