Method for distributing user data among meeting participants
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230316170A1) describes a method for distributing user data among participants of a meeting. The method involves an authenticator device receiving a signal from a first user to enable data distribution. The device then receives a first set of attributes, which are based on real-world data captured by the first user's device, and a second set of attributes, which are based on real-world data captured by a second user's device. The second set of attributes is of the same type as the first set. If the attributes in the first set match the attributes in the second set, the authenticator device enables access to the user data for the second user's device.
In one embodiment, the method includes encrypting the user data based on the first set of attributes. The first set of attributes can include attributes based on images captured by a camera or sounds captured by a microphone of the first user's device. The order of attribute types in the first set and second set of attributes is the same.
The method can be repeated regularly for revalidation, ensuring ongoing access to the user data. Additionally, the method can be extended to a third user device of a third user, where the authenticator device receives a second set of attributes and enables access to data for the third user's device. If any of the user devices are determined to have left a registered location of the meeting, the method can be repeated by receiving a first set of attributes, receiving a second set of attributes, and enabling access to data.
The patent also describes an authenticator device that performs the method. The device includes a processor and memory storing instructions for receiving signals, attributes, and enabling access to user data. The instructions can also include encrypting the user data based on the first set of attributes. The authenticator device can repeat the instructions regularly for revalidation and extend the instructions to a third user device. If any user devices leave the registered location of the meeting, the instructions can be repeated.
Overall, this patent presents a method and device for distributing user data among meeting participants based on real-world data captured by their devices. The method ensures secure access to the data by matching attributes and can be repeated for ongoing validation.
