Abstract

Computationally implemented methods and systems include receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device, identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said one or more services requiring access to particular data controlled by the device, wherein access to the particular data controlled by the device is managed by the device, and requesting access to the particular data controlled by the device, in exchange for providing one or more of the identified one or more services. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

First claim

1 . A computationally-implemented method, comprising:
receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device; identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said one or more services requiring access to particular data controlled by the device, wherein access to the particular data controlled by the device is managed by the device; and requesting access to the particular data controlled by the device, in exchange for providing one or more of the identified one or more services.

5 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding information collected by a device, said data not identifying the device that collected the information.

6 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding information collected by a device having a device identifier, said data omitting the device identifier.

7 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding information collected by a device having a device identifier that is unique to the device, said received data including a modified identifier, wherein the device identifier cannot be independently derived from the modified identifier.

8 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding information collected by a device having a device identifier, said data providing a modified device identifier that is unique to the device, and from which the device identifier can be derived only using a lookup table that is not received with the received data.

9 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding information collected by a sensor of the device, said data not particularly identifying the device.

13 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding information collected by an input component of the device, said data not particularly identifying the device.

14 . (canceled)

15 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding one or more types of information stored in a memory of the device, said data not particularly identifying the device.

16 . (canceled)

17 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more types of information stored in a memory of the device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding a number of program applications stored in a memory of the device.

18 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more types of information stored in a memory of the device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding a type of program applications stored in a memory of the device.

19 . (canceled)

20 . (canceled)

21 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding one or more properties of the device, from the device, said data insufficient to uniquely identify the device.

22 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving data regarding one or more properties of a device, said data not particularly identifying the device comprises:
receiving data regarding one or more properties of the device, said data having information identifying the device previously removed.
