Method for isolating private information in streamed data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966500B2) outlines a method for isolating private information in streamed data. The method involves receiving a stream of data containing an image and an indication of its intended use, comparing this indication against predefined rules to identify private information, and then extracting and isolating this private information from the stream. The extracted private information is stored separately from the modified stream, allowing for the recreation of the original image by combining the modified stream and a generated second image. The private information can include facial images, names, addresses, financial information, and more, based on the predefined rules.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system that implements this method, utilizing a hardware processor to receive, compare, identify, extract, and modify the streamed data. The system is capable of isolating multiple types of private information, storing them in different locations, and generating metadata for reproducing the original stream. By setting pixel values and creating new images, the system ensures the protection of private information while maintaining the integrity of the data stream. This innovative approach to data privacy in streamed content could have significant implications for industries handling sensitive information and user data.
