In a specialized application, the PDM is configured to exchange data with the unregulated operational / functional segments of the IMD.

Techniques are disclosed for automatically generating and maintaining personal data, such as an address book, a financial portfolio, a discussion groups or blogs book, or other types of personal data stores, based on a person's structured search data and / or usage data (e.g., browsing) and / or other sources of personal data (e.g., emails the user receives). Related metadata can also be used in the generating and / or maintaining of the personal data. Dynamic personal data ranking and / or autocomplete functions are also provided, which can be used in conjunction with the automatic generation and maintenance of the user's personal data, to further ease the user's burden in managing and / or handling such data.

This invention relates to a scheme for storage of private information on a cloud computing platform without contravention of territorial privacy laws. A method of anonymising a database of personal data is described whereby data identifiers are assigned to data items and deviation identifiers are assigned to deviations for selected data items derived from reference records. Such information can then be uploaded to a cloud based storage platform. A translation table maps the data items, data identifiers and deviation identifiers to the original data entries. This translation table is stored locally and separate to the anonymised information uploaded to the cloud. The invention further describes a method of decoding the database anonymised according to the above method.

A data vault system allows for centralized storage of personal data about a consumer in a transparent multi-tiered structure including a global data store and multiple vendor or category cards. Data in the category cards describing a subset of the globally stored data to be shared with individual vendors and provide fine resolution sharing control. The data in each structure is synchronized so that vendor or category cards may be auto populated.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for users to search networks, both their own network and their peers' networks, all under the umbrella of a “multiple level access” security system. The present invention has been designed to optimize networking capabilities among users in a comprehensive online community. Networking among such a secured environment will allow users an opportunity to enhance their networking potential by expanding their networks to their peers' and beyond. A user registers with the online community and personally adds individuals that they know to their personal networking database. While adding these peers to the networking database, the user grants a specific level of access to each individual. This security measure is devised to discourage solicitation from other unwanted online users. The levels of access give the user an opportunity to control the amount of personal information, including contacts that they make, available to their individual peers. Based on the level of access granted by the user, the peer may or may not be able to access the users information or the user's personal databases for potential networking. The level of access granted by two individuals need not be the same for each other.

A system and method is provided for adding an advertisement to a digital message and providing additional communication data to a recipient that interacts with the advertisement regardless of the network device the recipient is utilizing. An advertisement generator residing on a network host accepts digital messages from contributors and allows the contributors to select an advertisement to be displayed with their contributed messages. These digital messages may be sent to specified recipients or published on a Web site. Using stored personal data associated with the contributor and with the recipient of a digital message, in addition to the content of the message itself, the advertisement generator suggests advertisements to be included with the digital messages based on their contextual relevance. In exchange for including an advertisement with a digital message, a contributor is compensated. If the contributor-selected advertisement is provided by a third party advertiser, the message, contributor, and advertisement data is utilized to compensate the contributor of that message for sending it to at least one recipient or posting it on a Web site. If the advertisement is interactive, and the advertisement is interacted with, the advertisement generator will provide the recipient with additional communication data in a format that can be understood by the recipient network device.

A data protection method for an electronic device having a storage medium is provided, wherein the storage medium includes a plurality of partitions and a partition table. In the data protection method, a partition entry point and a partition data corresponding to the specific partition are captured and sent to an external storage device when the electronic device enters a shutdown process. Then, the partition entry point is deleted from the partition table and the partition data is removed from the storage medium. When the electronic device is turned on, a user has to provide the corresponding external storage device to restore the partition entry point and the partition data back to the storage medium. Thereby, personal data stored in the storage medium is protected and accordingly data security is ensured.

When sending personal data to a recipient, the data owner encrypts the data using both a public data item provided by a trusted party and an encryption key string formed using at least policy data indicative of conditions to be satisfied before access is given to the personal data. The encryption key string is typically also provided to the recipient along with the encrypted personal data. To decrypt the personal data, the recipient sends the encryption key string to the trusted party with a request for the decryption key. The trusted party determines the required decryption key using the encryption key string and private data used in deriving its public data, and provides it to the requesting recipient. However, the decryption key is either not determined or not made available until the trusted party is satisfied that the associated policy conditions have been met by the recipient.
