Patent number: 12147557Abstract: Computer systems and associated methods are disclosed to implement the non-interactive join of privacy-preserving dataset sketches. In some embodiments, an entity can publish a one-time sketch of their dataset that would enable another entity to join their data without exposing private information. The sketch can map, using a hash function, the identities associated with a first value of the dataset to a data structure, in some embodiments. A same or different entity can join the first sketch with a privacy-preserving second sketch of a second dataset that includes added noise, and can determine an estimate of a number of identities that correspond with specific values of the first and second datasets from the joined dataset. The sketch can be published just one time, and therefore does not require separate new private computations with privacy budgeting for each additional party when a join is desired, in some embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Alexander Cook, Nina Mishra

Patent number: 12147564Abstract: A data deletion notification service registers data repositories that store personal data. The service receives requests from users to delete personal data, sends notifications of the deletion requests to the registered data repositories, and stores deletion records recording the deletions and a timestamp associated with the deletion request. The service may wait for confirmation of the deletions from the data repositories, resending the deletion requests if a confirmation is not received, and recording confirmation in an audit record. Data repositories performing a restoration may request, from the service, a list of users that have requested deletion of personal data since the time of the creation of the backup used for restoration. The service may generate, based on deletion records with corresponding timestamps, the list of users and respond to the request with the list. Confirmations of the deletions may be tracked, stored and made available via an audit interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shuai Ma, Jerry Bullard, Willy Tanggono, Ziqing Guo, Bo Lyu, Peng Yao, Vinay Krishna Nelly, Keyur Shaileshkumar Patel, Nitin Gaur

Patent number: 12149935Abstract: Techniques for a location service to determine geographic locations (or “geolocations”) of user devices connected to a telecommunications network, and provide signed certificates that attest to the user devices being at geolocations at particular times. The location service may calculate, or receive, geolocations of user devices that have been determined using network-based localization techniques for telecommunications networks where the network infrastructure is used to determine the geolocations. Because user devices cannot fake or spoof these geolocations, the location service may populate certificates with indications of geolocations of user devices at different times. Additionally, the location service may act as a certificate authority by digitally signing these certificates and issuing digitally signed certificates that attest to geolocations of user devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Pablo Monteagudo Notario

Patent number: 12148259Abstract: Users may enter and exit a facility as individuals, or as groups in which an authorized user sponsors other users. Within the group, actions within the facility taken by those sponsored users may be associated with the account of the authorized user. Sensor data acquired at a portal area is used to determine information about users passing through a portal, such as a crossing time, a distance from a crossing point, and so forth. This information is used to determine group associations. These group associations are resilient to situations, such as employees who have exited and re-entered with a user, employees holding open a gate for a user, people entering ahead of the authorized user, people entering after the authorized user, people exiting before an authorized user, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Hue Tuan Thi, Xiaoxia Shi, Chris Broaddus
