Abstract

The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing system comprising a controller including at least one processor configured to execute:
collecting first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator; converting the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals; providing data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator; and calculating a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller performs the conversion by performing at least either a hashing process or an anonymization process for each of the plurality of items included in the first data.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the controller performs the hashing process for an item that can identify individuals alone among the plurality of items.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the anonymization process is a process of replacing an item that can identify individuals alone with superordinately conceptualized data.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the controller decides a process to be executed for each of the plurality of items based on an attribute of the item.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the first data is data including at least position information about the mobile bodies and information about attributes of owners of the mobile bodies.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage configured to store use contract data indicating content of the data use contract.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein the use contract data includes information for identifying an item accessible from the second business operator among the second data.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein the controller sets an access right of the second business operator for a database storing the second data, based on the use contract data.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 7 wherein the controller generates third data to be provided to the second business operator, from the second data, based on the use contract data.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein the controller issues a key for decrypting the second data that is encrypted, based on the use contract data.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein the use contract data includes data about a calculation criterion of the consideration.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 12 , wherein the controller calculates the consideration based on the consideration calculation criterion and the data provided to the second business operator.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller charges to the second business operator based on the calculated consideration.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage configured to store provision contract data indicating content of a data provision contract for the first business operator.

16 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein, when calculating the consideration, the controller generates record data including at least any of an identifier of the first business operator that receives the consideration, an identifier of the second business operator that pays the consideration, an amount of the consideration, and a used item.

17 . The information processing system according to claim 16 , wherein the controller holds the record data by a block chain using nodes that a plurality of business operators owns.

18 . An information processing system comprising a controller including at least one processor configured to execute:
acquiring data including a plurality of items and personal information collected from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator; providing data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the data, to a second business operator; and calculating a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

19 . An information processing method comprising:
collecting first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator; converting the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals; providing data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator; and calculating a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

20 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the information processing method according to claim 19 .
