ANONYMIZATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249024 titled 'ANONYMIZATION APPARATUS

The abstract describes an anonymization apparatus that acquires boundary information between clusters and generates an anonymized cluster set based on this information.

  • Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a system that anonymizes data by dividing it into clusters based on boundary information.

  • Key Features and Innovation:

- Acquiring unit gathers boundary information between clusters - Dividing unit generates anonymized cluster set based on acquired boundary information

  • Potential Applications:

- Data privacy protection in various industries - Secure data sharing and analysis - Compliance with data protection regulations

  • Problems Solved:

- Ensures data privacy by anonymizing sensitive information - Facilitates secure data processing and sharing - Helps organizations comply with data privacy laws

  • Benefits:

- Enhanced data security and privacy - Efficient data analysis and sharing - Simplified compliance with data protection regulations

  • Commercial Applications:

Title: Data Anonymization System for Enhanced Privacy Protection This technology can be used in industries such as healthcare, finance, and marketing for secure data processing, sharing, and compliance with data protection laws.

  • Prior Art:

Prior art related to this technology may include research on data anonymization techniques, cluster analysis, and data privacy protection methods.

  • Frequently Updated Research:

Researchers are constantly exploring new methods for data anonymization, cluster analysis, and data privacy protection to enhance the security and privacy of sensitive information.

Questions about Data Anonymization: 1. How does this technology ensure the privacy of sensitive data? This technology ensures data privacy by dividing data into clusters based on boundary information, making it difficult to identify individual data points.

2. What are the potential applications of this data anonymization system? This system can be used in various industries for secure data processing, sharing, and compliance with data protection regulations.


Original Abstract Submitted

an anonymization apparatus includes: an acquiring unit that acquires boundary information indicating the boundary between clusters, specified by performing an anonymization process on predetermined data; and a dividing unit that generates an anonymized cluster set by dividing data possessed by the anonymization apparatus into a plurality of clusters based on the boundary information acquired by the acquiring unit.
