US 2022/0012703 A1 · SYSTEM TO FACILITATE EXCHANGE OF DATA SEGMENTS BETWEEN DATA AGGREGATORS AND DATA CONSUMERS

Abstract

Techniques for exchanging data segments between data aggregators and data consumers. In an embodiment, a value of an arbitrary data segment selected by a data consumer is computed. In particular, an individual user value is calculated for each user represented in the data segment, wherein the individual user value is a weighted sum (or other function) of the one or more features of the data segment attributable to that user, plus an additive gaussian noise. The overall value of the data segment is the sum of the individual user values. An offer price for the data segment can then be calculated using the overall value. Once a request is received from the consumer to purchase the data segment at the offer price, the data segment can be exchanged between the aggregator and consumer. Thus, a data marketplace or platform for the exchange of data segments is enabled.

Dependent claims

A computer program product including one or more non-transitory machine-readable mediums encoded with instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out for pricing arbitrary data segments, the process comprising:

receiving an arbitrary data segment that includes data generated by a plurality of users and aggregated from one or more data sources, wherein each of the users is associated with one or more features that are represented in the data of the arbitrary data segment;
calculating an individual user value for each user represented in the arbitrary data segment, wherein the individual user value is a weighted sum of (a) the user features represented in the arbitrary data segment attributable to that user and (b) an additive gaussian noise;
calculating a value of the arbitrary data segment by summing the individual user values;
and
offering the arbitrary data segment for purchase at an offer price based on the calculated value of the arbitrary data segment.

A method for exchanging data between a data aggregator and a data consumer, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor-based system and from a data aggregator server, a data segment that includes data generated by a plurality of users and aggregated from one or more data sources, wherein each of the users is associated with one or more features that are represented in the data of the data segment;
calculating, by the processor-based system, a value of the data segment based at least in part on the one or more features represented in the data of the data segment and an additive gaussian noise, wherein the value of the data segment is calculated by
calculating an individual user value for each user represented in the data segment based on (a) the user features represented in the data segment attributable to that user and (b) the additive gaussian noise, and
summing the individual user values;
and
calculating, by the processor-based system, an offer price for the data segment as a function of the calculated value of the data segment and a statistical expected value of revenue from a sale of the data segment.

3 more elements

A system for exchanging data between data aggregators and data consumers, the system comprising:

a storage;
and
at least one processor operatively coupled to the storage, the at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the storage that when executed cause the at least one processor to
receive, from a data aggregator computing device, a data segment that includes data generated by a plurality of users and aggregated from one or more data sources, wherein each of the users is associated with one or more features that are represented in the data of the data segment,
calculate a value of the data segment based at least in part on the one or more features represented in the data of the data segment and an additive gaussian noise, wherein the value of the data segment is calculated by
calculating an individual user value for each user represented in the data segment based on (a) the user features represented in the data segment attributable to that user and (b) the additive gaussian noise, and
summing the individual user values, and
calculate an offer price for the data segment as a function of the calculated value of the data segment and a statistical expected value of revenue from a sale of the data segment.
