Application: Data provisioning framework using non-fungible tokens (Patent ID: US20230419315A1)
The patent filed by Sony Group Corp. describes a system and method for data provisioning using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The system involves storing a dataset associated with a data owner, receiving a purchase request for an NFT representing the dataset, updating ownership information of the NFT based on the purchase request, validating access requests for the dataset, serving a copy of the dataset to an analytics system, determining consumption patterns, and controlling access based on the consumption pattern. Additionally, the method includes extracting datasets from mobility service data, creating NFTs based on dataset conditions, listing NFTs on marketplaces, and storing datasets in encrypted or anonymized forms.
Furthermore, the system includes a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) network with various nodes for communication, executing smart contracts on distributed ledgers or ledger nodes for validation, and setting access rules for datasets based on analytics, duration, participants, and location. The terms associated with the sale of NFTs and dataset usage include restrictions on downloads, time duration, raw data access, resale, aggregated data access, number of copies, purpose of purchase, and anonymized data access. The method also involves sharing private keys for encrypted copies, decrypting datasets based on private keys, detecting violations of terms, generating feedback, and controlling user devices. The system is designed to enhance data provisioning, ownership, and access control through the innovative use of NFTs and smart contracts.
