A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a data linkage system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The data linkage system 100, which is one embodiment of the present invention, is an information processing system realized by a data linkage program, and is a system that links data (linkage data) registered by a first business operator to a second business operator. When linking data, the data linkage system 100 links the linkage data to the second business operator based on conditions that are set in advance corresponding to the second device used by the second business operator and conditions that are set by a user corresponding to the linkage data to be linked.

The data linkage system 100 is a system that is communicatively connected via a network such as the Internet to a first device 200 used by a first business operator, a second device 300 used by a second business operator, and a user device 400 used by a user corresponding to the linkage data.

The linking data that the data linking system 100 can link to the second device 300 is not limited, but may be, for example, location information and usage history information of the user device 400 described below, usage data of an item owned by the user (e.g., a car) (e.g., driving data, maintenance data, vehicle inspection data, data related to automobile tax and automobile insurance), and personal information of the user (e.g., address, family contact information, biological information such as blood type, and medical examination results at a medical institution). Details of the data linking system 100 will be described later.

The first device 200 is a device used by the first business operator. The first device 200 may be, for example, a database that manages data acquired from the user device 400 described below or the user's possessions (e.g., a car), or may be a database that manages personal information of the user acquired from the user (e.g., address, family contact information, biological information such as blood type, and medical examination results at a medical institution).

The first business operator registers the linkage data to be linked in the data linkage system 100 through the first device 200 in the data linkage system 100.

The second device 300 is a device used by the second business operator. The second device 300 may be, for example, a database that receives data linkage through the data linkage system 100. The second device 300 may also be an information processing system that provides a predetermined process or service based on the linkage data that has received the data linkage. That is, the second device 300 may be an information processing system that provides a predetermined service (for example, calculation of insurance premiums or prediction of traffic congestion) using data acquired from the user device 400 or the user's possessions (for example, a car), or may be an information processing system that provides a predetermined service (for example, medical services) using personal information of the user acquired from the user (for example, biological information such as blood type or results of a medical examination at a medical institution).

The user device 400 is a device used by a user corresponding to the linking data.

Here, the user corresponding to the linking data is, for example, the user who provided the data to the first device 200 (i.e., the data provider). Note that the method of providing data to the first device 200 by the user may be a method in which the user explicitly provides the data, or a method in which the data is provided without any explicit action by the user.

Specifically, if the data processed in the data linkage system 100 is, for example, vehicle driving data, the user corresponding to the data linked by the data linkage system 100 may be the person who owns the vehicle. In this case, the vehicle driving data may be provided to the first device 200 at any time when the user uses the vehicle.

In addition, if the data processed in the data linkage system 100 is, for example, the result of a medical examination at a medical institution, the user corresponding to the data linked by the data linkage system 100 may be a person who has undergone medical examination (e.g., a patient). In this case, when the user visits a medical institution, data related to the result of the medical examination may be provided to the first device 200.

The first business operator and the user may be the same entity. That is, for example, when the same entity generates data (e.g., learning model data) that has been subjected to a predetermined process based on data provided by the user and registers the generated data in the data linkage system 100, the same entity may be the user (data provider) corresponding to the generated data and may also be the first business operator that registers the generated data in the data linkage system 100.

In the following, the user corresponding to the data linked by the data linkage system 100 will simply be referred to as the "user."

Next, the details of the data linkage system 100 will be described. The data linkage system 100 includes a business registration unit 111, a business information storage unit 112, a data registration unit 121, a linkage data storage unit 122, a linkage information generation unit 131, a user condition acquisition unit 132, a data-specific condition setting unit 133, a linkage information storage unit 134, a data linkage unit 135, a business notification unit 141, a usage suspension confirmation unit 142, and a user notification unit 143. The computer that constitutes the data linkage system 100 includes a processor and a memory area. Each unit shown in FIG. 1 can be realized, for example, by using the memory area or by the processor executing a data linkage program stored in the memory area.

The business registration unit 111 acquires business information from the business device of the business that uses the data linkage system 100, accepts registration of the business device, and stores the business information in the business information storage unit 112. That is, the business registration unit 111 acquires corresponding business information from the first device 200 and the second device 300, respectively, and registers the first device 200 and the second device 300.

Here, the business information is information required for registering a business device, and may include, for example, business name information indicating the name of the business. The business information may also include authentication standard information regarding a predetermined authentication standard indicating the security level of the business device.

In addition, when registering a business device, the business registration unit 111 may register business device condition information regarding the conditions for data linkage that is set for each business device.

Here, the operator device condition information is information about the conditions of data linkage that is set for each operator device, and is, for example, information including operator-specific usage period information indicating the period during which data linkage can be received. The operator-specific usage period information may be information indicating a period such as "three years." In other words, an operator device whose operator-specific usage period information is "three years" can use the data for three years in principle after receiving data linkage through the data linkage system 100.

The business operator device condition information may also include conditions regarding the type of data that can receive data linking, and conditions regarding the business that registers the data (i.e., the source business operator). That is, a business operator device in which conditions regarding the type of data that can receive data linking are set as business operator device condition information can receive data linking of that type of data. Furthermore, a business operator device in which conditions regarding the source business operator that registered data are set as business operator device condition information can receive data linking of linking data registered by that source business operator.

The business device condition information may be information generated by the business registration unit 111 based on business information acquired from the business when registering the business. That is, for example, if the business device has acquired a specified authentication standard indicating the security level of the business device, the business registration unit 111 may set data linking conditions for the business device that are more relaxed than those for other business devices (for example, conditions that allow data linking for a longer period of time) based on information attesting to the specified authentication standard acquired from the business device.

The business operator device condition information may be generated based on a predetermined machine learning model that uses business operator information as input, or may be set by a system administrator of the data linkage system 100. The business operator device condition information may be information that is set by the business operator when registering the business operator device. In this case, at least a portion of the information included in the business operator device condition information may be information that cannot be set by the business operator.

Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the business operator information storage unit 112. Information stored in the business operator information storage unit 112 includes, for example, a business operator device ID, business operator information, and business operator device condition information. The business operator device ID is business operator device identification information that identifies a business operator device that uses the data linkage system 100. The business operator information includes, for example, business operator name information. The business operator device condition information includes, for example, business operator-specific usage period information.

The data registration unit 121 accepts registration of linkage data corresponding to definition information that is set in advance for each data through the first device 200, and stores the linkage data in the linkage data storage unit 122.

Here, the definition information includes, for example, information regarding a data type name indicating the type of data (e.g., "speed data"), a data format indicating the format of the data (e.g., "numeric data", "character string data"), a data amount indicating the data size (e.g., data capacity), and a data format indicating the format of the data (e.g., the number of digits and file extension of the data).

The definition information may be set in advance for each type of data that can be processed by the data linkage system 100, for example. The definition information may be set by a system administrator of the data linkage system 100, or may be set by a link source business (e.g., a first business) that registers the linkage data, or a link destination business (e.g., a second business) that receives data linkage. The definition information may be stored in the data linkage system 100 (or an information processing system that can communicate with the data linkage system 100) in association with a data type ID that indicates the type of data, for example.

The first device 200 registers the linkage data in the data linkage system 100 so as to correspond to the definition information. The first device 200 may, for example, register the linkage data by referring to definition information that is set in advance, or may set new definition information and register the linkage data in the data linkage system 100 so as to correspond to the newly set definition information.

In addition, when the first device 200 registers the association data, the data registration unit 121 may set association method information regarding the method of association of the registered association data, and association destination condition information regarding the conditions of the association destination of the association data.

Here, the linking method information is information about the method of linking the linking data, and may be, for example, information including "directly" indicating that data is provided directly from the first device 200 to the second device 300. The method of linking the linking data may be, for example, a method in which the second device 300 downloads the linking data from the data linking system 100 and uses it, or a method in which the second device 300 refers to and uses linking data on the data linking system 100 that is set so that it cannot be downloaded, or may be some other method. This allows the first device 200 to register data in the data linking system 100 using the linking method of its choice.

The linkage condition information is information about the conditions of the linkage destination of the linkage data, and may be, for example, information indicating that only business device with a certain security level is permitted to link the linkage data, or information indicating that only business device of a business in a specific business type or industry is permitted to link the linkage data, or information about other conditions. This allows the first device 200 to link the linkage data while taking into consideration security or the competitive business environment.

The data registration unit 121 may set the linkage method information and the linkage destination condition information in response to an instruction from the first business operator via the first device 200. The data registration unit 121 may also set the linkage method information and the linkage destination condition information in response to the definition information, and may also set the linkage method information and the linkage destination condition information based on a setting by an administrator of the data linkage system 100.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the linkage data storage unit 122. The information stored in the linkage data storage unit 122 includes, for example, a linkage data ID, a linkage source device ID, a data type ID, data entity information, linkage method information, and linkage destination condition information.

The data ID for association is data identification information for identifying the data for association that is to be linked by the data linkage system 100. The source device ID for association is a business device ID corresponding to the business device (e.g., the first device 200) that registered the data for association in the data linkage system 100. The data type ID is data type identification information for identifying the type of the data for association that is to be registered. The data entity information is information indicating the entity (content) of the data for association.

In FIG. 3, "direct" is shown as the linking method information, but the format of the linking method information is not limited to this. In addition, the data entity information may be information indicating a link destination that can reference the entity (contents) of the linking data.

When linking the linking data to the second device 300, the linking information generation unit 131 generates linking information for linking the linking data and stores the linking information in the linking information storage unit 134.

Here, the linking information is information for linking the linking data to the second device 300. The data linking unit 135 described later can link the linking data to the second device 300, for example, based on the linking information.

The linkage information generation unit 131 may generate linkage information, for example, in response to a request for data linkage received from the second device 300.

The association information generation unit 131 may, for example, identify association data corresponding to a data association request from the second device 300, and generate association information by associating the data with an association destination business ID that identifies the second device 300 to be associated with. This allows the data association unit 135 to associate the association data to be associated with the second device 300 that made the data association request based on the association information.

The association information generation unit 131 may generate association information in response to the registration of association data by the first device 200. In this case, for example, in response to a request for data association received from the second device 300, the association information generation unit 131 associates the association information of the association data corresponding to the request with an association destination business operator ID that identifies the second device 300 that made the request.

When linking data to the second device 300, the user condition acquisition unit 132 acquires user condition information related to the conditions for linking data to the second device 300 from the user device 400.

Here, the user condition information is information on the conditions for linking the linking data to the second device 300, and includes, for example, consent period information indicating the period for which consent is given to linking the linking data to the second device. The consent period information may be information indicating a period such as "two years". In other words, when the consent period information is "two years", this indicates that the user consents to the data linking of the linking data to the second device 300 for two years in principle.

The user condition information may be information that is set for each linking data or for each data type ID. The user condition information may also be information that is set for each second device 300 that is to be linked. The user condition information may also be information that is set commonly to multiple linking data or multiple second devices 300.

The user condition information may also be information indicating that the user does not agree to linking the linking data to the second device 300. The user condition information may also be a condition regarding the security level of the second device 300. This allows the user to permit the linking of the linking data to a second device 300 that has a certain security level.

For example, in response to a request from the second device 300 to link the linking data, the user condition acquisition unit 132 may notify the user device 400 of the user corresponding to the linking data that the second device 300 has requested linking of the linking data, and request the provision of user condition information. In this case, the user may provide the user condition information to the data linking system 100 via the user device 400 in response to the request.

The user condition acquisition unit 132 may acquire conditions related to the association of the association data common to the business device to be the association destination through the user device 400 in advance. In this case, for example, in response to the registration of the association data by the first device 200, the user may set conditions related to the association of the association data common to the business device to be the association destination for the association data, and the user condition acquisition unit 132 may acquire the user condition information.

The data-specific condition setting unit 133 sets data-specific condition information regarding the conditions for linking the linking data to the second device 300 based on the business device condition information and the user condition information, and stores the data-specific condition information in association with the linking information included in the linking information storage unit 134.

Here, the data-specific condition information is information regarding the conditions for linking the linking data to the second device 300. The data-specific condition information may be, for example, information regarding the conditions that satisfy both the conditions indicated by the business device condition information and the user condition information. That is, the data-specific condition setting unit 133 sets the data-specific condition information for linking the linking data to the second device 300 so that, for example, the business device condition information set for each business device and the linking data and the user condition information set corresponding to the second device 300 are both satisfied in linking the linking data to the second device 300.

The data-specific condition information may include data-specific usage period information indicating the period during which the second device 300 can use the linking data.

In this case, specifically, for example, if the business device condition information is business-specific usage period information with a period of "three years" and the user condition information is consent period information with a period of "two years," the data-specific condition setting unit 133 can set data-specific condition information with a period of "two years."

The data-specific condition setting unit 133 can also set the data-specific condition information again based on the user condition information reacquired by the user condition acquisition unit 132. In this case, the data-specific condition setting unit 133 updates the linkage information included in the linkage information storage unit 134 based on the reacquired data-specific condition information.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the linkage information storage unit 134. The information stored in the linkage information storage unit 134 includes, for example, a linkage ID, a linkage data ID, a linkage destination device ID, and data-specific condition information. The data-specific condition information includes, for example, data-specific usage period information.

The linkage ID is information that identifies the linkage information. The linkage destination device ID is a business device ID that corresponds to the business device (e.g., the second device 300) that links the linkage data.

The data linking unit 135 links the linking data to the second device 300.

The data linking unit 135 can link the linking data to the second device 300, for example, based on the linking information stored in the linking information storage unit 134. That is, the data linking unit 135 links the linking data to the second device 300 corresponding to the linking business ID included in the linking information, based on the conditions indicated by the data-specific condition information included in the linking information.

Specifically, if the data-specific condition information included in the linking information is data-specific usage period information with a period of "two years," the data linking unit 135 links the linking data to the second device 300 within the period of "two years."

The method of data linkage by the data linking unit 135 may be, for example, a method in which the first device 200 directly provides data to the second device 300, or a method in which the second device 300 downloads linkage data from the data linking system 100 and uses it. It may also be a method in which linkage data that is set so that it cannot be downloaded by the second device 300 is referenced and used on the data linking system 100, or another method.

When a specified condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information included in the data-specific condition information is satisfied, the business notification unit 141 transmits a notification corresponding to the specified condition to the second device 300.

The specified condition may be, for example, a condition regarding whether or not a certain period of time has passed before the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information, or a condition regarding whether or not the period has passed. In this case, the business notification unit 141 can notify the second device 300 that the deadline corresponding to the data-specific usage period information is approaching or has already passed.

Furthermore, when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied, the business operator notification unit 141 can transmit a usage stop request notification to the second device 300 requesting the suspension of usage of the association data. That is, for example, when the deadline corresponding to the data-specific usage period information is approaching or has passed, the business operator notification unit 141 can request the second device 300 to suspend usage of the association data.

The use suspension confirmation unit 142 confirms that use of the association data has been suspended based on use suspension information obtained from the second device 300, which indicates that use of the association data has been suspended.

Here, the suspension information may be any information indicating that the use of the association data has been suspended in the second device 300, and may be, for example, information indicating that the association data has been deleted or information indicating that the association data can no longer be accessed.

The usage suspension confirmation unit 142, for example, acquires usage suspension information indicating that usage has been suspended from the second device 300, which has suspended usage in response to a usage suspension request notification to the second device 300, and confirms that usage of the association data has been suspended in the second device 300. This allows the data association system 100 to confirm whether the second device 300 has responded to the usage suspension request notification from the business notification unit 141.

When a specified condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information included in the data-specific condition information is satisfied, the user notification unit 143 transmits a notification corresponding to the specified condition to the user device 400.

The specified condition may be, for example, a condition regarding whether or not a certain period of time has passed before the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information, or a condition regarding whether or not the period has passed. In this case, the user notification unit 143 can notify the user device 400 that the deadline corresponding to the data-specific usage period information is approaching or has already passed.

In addition, when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied, the user notification unit 143 can transmit an update notification to the user device 400 to prompt the user to update the period indicated by the consent period information.

Based on the update notification received from the user notification unit 143, the user can reset the consent period information, for example, through the user device 400. In this case, the user condition acquisition unit 132 may acquire the reset consent period information, and the data-specific condition setting unit 133 may reset the data-specific condition information based on the reset consent period information. Then, the data linking unit 135 may link the linking data to the second device 300 based on the reset data-specific condition information. Note that in this case, the linking process of the data linking unit 135 may be a process of newly linking the linking data to the second device 300, or a process of continuing the state in which the linking data is linked to the second device 300.

Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an example of data linkage processing in the data linkage system 100.

First, the business registration unit 111 acquires business information from the first device 200 and the second device 300 (S501, S502), and registers the business by setting business device condition information for each business (S503). Note that the order of acquiring and registering business information between businesses does not matter. Next, the first device 200 provides linkage data to the data linkage system 100 (S504), and the data registration unit 121 registers the linkage data (S505).

When the data linkage system 100 receives a linkage request for linkage data from the second device 300 (S506), the linkage information generation unit 131 generates linkage information for linking the linkage data (S507). The user condition acquisition unit 132 acquires user condition information from the user device 400 (S508). Note that the user condition acquisition unit 132 may acquire the user condition information after the registration of the linkage data, or before the linkage request from the second device 300.

The data-specific condition setting unit 133 sets data-specific condition information based on the operator device condition information and user condition information of the second device to which data is to be linked, and associates it with the linking information (S509). The data linking unit 135 links the linking data to the second device 300 based on the linking information (specifically, for example, the data-specific condition information included in the linking information) (S510).

Figure 6 is a flowchart showing a first example of processing in the data linkage system 100 when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied. The flowchart shown in Figure 6 shows processing related to the business operator notification unit 141.

If the specified condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied (S601: YES), the business operator notification unit 141 notifies the second device 300 of the specified condition (S602). The business operator notification unit 141 also transmits a usage stop request notification to the second device 300 requesting the suspension of usage of the association data (S603). The second device 300 suspends usage in response to the usage stop request notification and provides usage stop information to the data association system 100 (S604). The usage stop confirmation unit 142 confirms the suspension of usage of the association data in the second device 300 based on the usage stop information (S605).

Figure 7 is a flowchart showing a second example of processing in the data linkage system 100 when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied. The flowchart shown in Figure 7 shows processing related to the user notification unit 143.

When the predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied (S701: YES), the user notification unit 143 notifies the user device 400 of the predetermined condition (S702). In response to the notification, the user provides the consent period information to the data linkage system 100 through the user device 400 (S703). The user condition acquisition unit 132 acquires the consent period information, and the data-specific condition setting unit 133 resets the data-specific condition information based on the provided consent period information (S704). The data linkage unit 135 links the linkage data to the second device 300 based on the reset data-specific condition information (S705). Note that the linkage process of the data linkage unit 135 in S705 may be a process of linking the linkage data to the second device 300 anew, or may be a process of continuing the state in which the linkage data is linked to the second device 300.

One embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The data linkage system 100 generates data-specific condition information based on the business device condition information of the second device 300 and the user condition information of the user corresponding to the linkage data, and can link the linkage data registered through the first device 200 to the second device 300 based on the data-specific condition information. This makes it possible to link data to the second device 300 taking into consideration the conditions desired by the user who is the data provider.

The data linkage system 100 can also link the linkage data to the second device 300 in accordance with data-specific condition information that is re-set based on user condition information re-acquired through the user device 400. This allows the user to manage the linkage of the linkage data by updating the user condition information as necessary, and allows the second device 300 to continuously use the linkage data.

The data linkage system 100 can also set data-specific usage period information based on business device condition information including business-specific usage period information and user condition information including consent period information, and link data to the second device 300 based on the data-specific usage period information. This allows the user to permit linkage within the consent period that the user sets, and data can be linked to the second device 300 in a manner that reflects the user's intentions.

In addition, when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied, the data linkage system 100 can transmit a notification corresponding to the predetermined condition to the second device 300. This allows the second device 300 to be aware that the expiration date of the period during which the linkage data can be used is approaching.

In addition, when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied, the data linkage system 100 can transmit a usage stop request notification to the second device 300 requesting the suspension of usage of the linkage data. This allows the data linkage system 100 to prompt the second device 300 to suspend usage of the linkage data, taking into account the conditions desired by the user.

The data linkage system 100 can also obtain suspension information from the second device 300 and confirm the suspension of use of the linkage data in the second device 300. This allows the data linkage system 100 to understand that the suspension of use of the linkage data is carried out in consideration of the conditions desired by the user.

In addition, when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied, the data linkage system 100 can transmit a notification corresponding to the predetermined condition to the user device 400. This allows the user to know the linkage expiration date of the linkage data for the second device 300, and to determine whether or not to continue to permit the linkage of the linkage data.

Furthermore, when a predetermined condition corresponding to the period indicated by the data-specific usage period information is satisfied, the data linkage system 100 transmits an update notification to the user device 400 prompting the user device 400 to update the period indicated by the consent period information, and can reset the data-specific usage period information based on the consent period information acquired from the user device 400 in response to the update notification. This allows the user to continue to permit linking of the linking data to the second device 300 based on the conditions desired by the user, and also allows the second device 300 to continue to receive linking of the linking data.

Note that the present embodiment is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the interpretation of the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and equivalents thereof are also included in the present invention.
