    DATABASE THAT GUARANTEES THROUGH ITS DESIGN PRIVACY AND METHODS WITH THIS
    DATABASE
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The invention relates to databases for the storage and processing of data from persons and organizations, architecture of ((graphic) user interfaces, underlying components) and the method of operation of such databases, (graphic) interfaces suitable for the use of such databases and methods and the underlying technology and associated software.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    An individual has his own data such as (contact) data (address data, mobile number (s), e-mail address (s), ...). An individual's individual information can consist of many different characteristics / values / characteristics. The desire to share those characteristics can depend on property to property and also on the group of people / organizations with whom these properties can be shared.
    Databases are filled with information, either by the input of information by the relevant person and / or by the input of data from one person by another, and / or by (mass) input of information from other databases. This uncoordinated input can lead to consistency problems and / or inefficient input if optimum use is made of the information already available. Moreover, many of the features (such as country, city or street name) are not unique to a single individual / organization (most of all, the range of features is unique), while other databases with high-quality information about these features exist.
    Moreover, the handling of databases with individual information is increasingly regulated from the perspective of privacy via the privacy law.
    Object of the invention
    The invention provides technological solutions with solutions to the aforementioned problems, more particularly a database structure or system design (subsequently implemented in software) and related methods for handling thereof, built on a well-chosen underlying concept and its use with a special application.
    Summary of the invention In a first aspect of the invention, a database is provided for storing and handling data from individuals, in which an individual can choose to have an attribute / context / characteristic for each property (or group of properties or data). assign (such as professional, personal, ...) and can further choose (at the time of entry and / or on request) based on such a feature to make this property accessible to everyone (public), a predefined class (s) from others (selective audience) or even to nobody (private).
    In a second aspect of the invention, a database is provided for storing and processing data from individuals, wherein the use of high-quality information (metadata) from other data banks can be used for non-unique and even unique features.
    In a third aspect of the invention, various methods for the (intelligent) input / addition of information to a database for storing and processing data of individuals (such as, but not limited to, the databases of the first and / or second aspect of the invention) in a way that complies with privacy legislation by realizing suitable accessibility (privacy by design) and communication flow between the parties involved (the person whose data is entered, the individual who enters it, the same person or another individual the organizations that use the database and / or are willing to provide information for the database).

    The application contains a reference to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/030242 in its entirety.
    The invention relates to databases for storage, handling, management of data / information of an individual, such as address data, wherein this database is suitable for on-line access. The database is adapted for use by individuals and organizations such as companies. Different applications and / or individual-organization relationships have an underlying application and / or reunion-specific database. The invention relates to a generic database usable for a number of applications and / or relationships, and can be tailored to each of the applications and relationships their required requirements, such as the information to be shared (made accessible) or not. The invention relates to technology that supports such databases, such as a graph or diagram approach. With database, every computer system or systems with storage means (computer of different kinds) and related technology and software for handling the stored data thereon.
    The use of a kind of virtual (the execution in hardware is not related to this) central database linked to different applications leads to a dynamic context in which the data is life / active / dynamic in the sense that if changed it becomes visible everywhere the associated user wished that this became visible and / or changed. The use of such a central database is supported by various possible ways of entering information, either in the expected manner by the data owner himself, but also by an arrangement based on invitations or by importing or by making suggestions or requests. The use of such a central database requires trust in the system and therefore methods to clean the data by using trusted databases and also ensure privacy by design by only providing access to certain data in full compliance with the policy that a the user. In essence, the user owns his data and controls the data fields for access and the user receives support in setting up such data fields for example in receiving requests and / or acknowledgments of such requests or invitations. in essence, the invention provides concepts and methods for overcoming the problems of having a lack of coherence and / or lack of control / checking capabilities when only data values are used on their own but on the contrary by understanding that the relationships between them are one or more defines contexts that can be used to identify / search / find a person, make suggestions, define control / verification (either implicitly or explicitly) and sharing capabilities.
    Hey! the invention has much flexibility to the user to determine this profile (100) (defined as properties (110) as shown in figure 1), in an embodiment of the invention predefined tempiates thereof are made available to categories of users. In an embodiment of the invention, users can define their favorite / custom templates. For each attribute (or group of attributes) an attribute / attribute / context (140) (such as professional, personal, ...) can be assigned. Properties can get a value (120). It is a contribution of the invention to emphasize the difference that is made between the property of the user (person, organization) who is storing data and the value assigned to it. Figure 1 shows the underlying concept of the profile, data and value, and more particularly the graph (node (150), relation (160)) representation thereof to support the invented database are operations. Figure 2 shows an example in which a given is chosen for the first name of a person while a data context is the work environment of that person, so you could expect to label the given and the context with the possible values of the type of information. Figure 3 now shows the use of this concept explained above, in particular that "individual" honors a profile! is with properties that are organized in contexts as registered in the database or database networks as might be the case. A "contact" is a static profile of another party, with properties organized in contexts that you can also find in the address book related to the do-group database. Note again the node / re approach approach, Zoais shown in Figure 4 is a connection between individuals not made directly but through the contact node, indeed "individual 1" has a static "contact" that stands for "individual 2" and can connect "Individual 2" through this contact. Upon connection, this contact becomes a dynamic representation of the connected "individual 2" and its properties, within the correct context (s). When created, shared properties become static again in the "contact". The basic philosophy of the database is to take advantage of the invented "once saved" principle as shown in Figure 5. A "profiei" can have properties and, in certain cases, the ability to check them. Based on these verified properties, we can start making agreements and suggestions, always based on the consent and privacy settings of users, and based on different verification methods, the design of the database and the number of shared objects, a degree of reliability can be determined for a certain profile.
    It is worth noting at this stage that the system provides a granuarity to define a data-based privacy policy if the database is adapted so that at least a part of said data fields, individually or in groups, is provided at least one further second data field in which the individual or organization can select (or assign or relate or choose) one or more attributes that define the communication method desired by the individual or organization for determining the accessibility or not (if present) for (a predefined kias of) third parties. This results in a bilaterally possible opt in or opt out procedure.
    It should also be noted that in one embodiment of the database (see shown in the right-hand part of Figure 6) that the data values may be part of another system outside the database, in particular the use of a node for a profile points to a property that can then further indicate a value, which can be outside the database itself, makes this possible. Alternatively, the database for storing a number of individual or organization information, comprises several first data fields for each of that person or organization, each for storing or a characteristic of such a person or organization (part of which are the contact details), has been adapted such that the current value is stored by reference only (with the help of a suitable interface).
    Note that the concept of centralizing allows control by many users and therefore the amount of links actually represent a measure or metric of the reliability of the underlying data. In an embodiment of the invention, such a measure is shown in the interface with the data and the reliability. In addition, the invention also provides methods for further improving the reliability of the underlying data through suggestions from users to further increase confidence in their data, for example by identifying many isolated data or circular relationships. in an embodiment of the invention, a further selection of a suitable database structure has been proposed. Indeed, given that a database is intended for use by a large number of users and further that many users preferably each have different data fields or properties, and since as mentioned above, many methods work on the database and therefore require a search in the database its special consideration of to do.
    Many concepts for databases exist (for example SQL), but according to the present embodiment of the invention a graph-based database has been chosen as a preferred concept, indeed the underlying requirements of the invention namely that verified (by design) data is intended leads to an application of a data mode, where a distinction is made between the attribute of the user (person, organization) whose data is stored and its value assigned, essentially a structure that relates users to attributes and a attribute is then chosen to a value, the user, property and value are a separate node in a graph and the relationship is then represented by the bridges between the nodes. For such a data model, graph-based databases and related search methods are the most suitable, especially since they also allow for a search along the bridges / relationships. This embodiment of the invention therefore provides a fundamental understanding of the true nature of the required data modes and the associated database (either uni-directional or bi-directional using the arrows of the graph) to use search methods, in that said property must be parsed or separated from its value, in space of the data space for nodes that represent people or organizations and arches / bridges or relationships between them, a further assignment is made that represents each of these people or organizations as a group of nodes that represent their properties and relates these properties to stand-alone values. In this way the Complicated connections in society are represented by the chosen data model. Note that the movements can also have different properties, indeed by values as separate items (one-time storage), the operations on the database essentially amount to operations on the relationships. If a value of a property needs a change, it is not the value that is changed, but a reference to another (or new) value is made (allowing the storage of previous information and the retrieval thereof). This also ensures that such changes can be visible on all permitted connections at the same time.
    The above embodiment has the advantage that it realizes an ideal match between the defined {but extensible) requirements and technical implementation namely the "one-time saved" principle does not only lead to data reduction (storage size reduction) per se, but ensures that the data in the values can serve as a trusted set of master data, with built-in design consistency and / or privacy. in a further embodiment one or more of the data fields are encrypted, in an exemplary embodiment thereof the encryption is applied to the values and / or the relationships in the graph or diagram databases.
    In summary, one or more of the following features of the invention, which can be used individually or in combination, are again indicated below. 1. Public / Private / on request 2. Active (dynamic) ƒ Passive (static) 3. Opt In & Out 4. Privacy by design 5. Verification by various means (applications / connections / networked operation / ...) 6.
