Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and use of data are disclosed. To manage data, the data may be classified with respect to topics that are relevant to a user of a data storage system. The topics that are relevant to the user may be identified based on digital recordings of conversations between the user and other persons. Over time, the topics that are relevant to the user may change. The changes in relevant topics may be used to identify occurrences of different events in the user's life. These life events and data classified for corresponding topics may be used to service information request by providing context for the data and a means of discriminating more relevant from less relevant data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing collection of data by a data management system and from data sources are disclosed. To manage collection of data, data management system may limit the types and quantity of data collected for storage in the data management system. Data management system may prioritize collection of data based on relevancy of the data for one or more purposes with respect to an individual. To identify relevant data, data management system may analyze data, including audio recordings of interactions between the individual for which the data is regarding and other individuals that provide services to the individual, and identify topics of the data. Based on the analysis of the data and identified topics, data management system may establish a ranking order of the topics that are more relevant to the individual.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing storage of data in a set of storage tiers are disclosed. To manage storage of data, data management system may analyze data to identify topic classifications and topic rankings for the data. Data management system may prioritize storage of data in higher performing storage tiers based on the relevancy of the data for one or more purposes with respect to an individual. To identify relevant data with respect to the individual for which data is being stored, data management system may analyze data, including audio recordings of interactions between the individual and other individuals to identify topics relevant to the individual. Based on the identified topics, data management system may establish a relevancy quantification for the portions of data and use the relevancy quantification to select a storage tier in which to store the portion of the data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, a storage space in a data management system may be managed. To manage the storage system, data may be obtained for storage. The data may be classified as being related to at least one topic, and quality requirements may be identified based on the at least one topic. A determination may be made, based on the quality requirements, regarding whether the data meets the quality requirements. If the quality requirements are not met by the data, then storage of the data may be denied temporarily. Otherwise, if the quality requirements are met by the data, then the data may be stored.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing access to data in a data management system are disclosed. To manage access to data, data management system may limit the access to data stored within the data management system based on an identity of a requestor from which a request for a portion of the data is obtained. Data management system may identify an access control model usable to manage access to the data stored in the data management system based on topics associated with the identity of the requestor and relevancy of each topic. To identify an access control model, data management system may use the identity of the requestor to identify associated topics and topic rankings for the identified topics. Based on the identified access control model, data management may provide a response to the requestor to service the request for a portion of data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing requests for functionalities of a data repository are disclosed. The data repository may store sensitive data (e.g., personal data), and may offer functionality (e.g., data access) in order to facilitate computer-implemented services. To prevent unauthorized access to and/or use of the sensitive data, an access control system may be implemented. For example, in order to gain access to data stored in the data repository, the access control system may prompt a requesting user to provide responses to security questions during authentication. The security questions may be based on details of personal experiences of the authorized user (e.g., identified from the personal data of the authorized user) and may be updated automatically when new data is introduced to the data repository. Therefore, the responses to the security questions required for authentication may be memorable to the authorized user and/or difficult to predict for unauthorized users.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing user interactions between a user and at least one user device are disclosed. To manage user interactions, data management system may obtain an interaction model to deploy to the at least one user device in order to establish an interface. The interaction model may define how the at least one user device communicates information to the user and/or obtained user input from the user. To obtain the interaction model relevant to a user, data management system may identify at least one condition impacting an ability of the user to interact with the at least one user device and the extent of the condition limiting the user's ability to interact with the at least one user device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing storage space in a data management system are disclosed. To manage storage space, data management system may limit the types and quantity of data stored within the data management system. Data management system may prioritize deletion of data based on relevancy of the data for one or more purposes with respect to an individual. To identify relevant data, data management system may analyze data, including audio recordings of interactions between the individual for which the data is regarding and other individuals that provide services to the individual and identify topics of the data. Based on the analysis of the data and identified topics, data management system may establish a ranking order of the topics that are more relevant to the individual.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing access and control of data are disclosed. To manage access and control, a data management system may use a variety of data minimization and resiliency techniques to differentiate different repositories for storage of data. The different repositories may store data in different manners, and provide different levels of performance regarding stored data. By differentiating the repositories, criteria may be established and enforced to prioritize different types of data for storage.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing access and control of data are disclosed. To manage access and control, data management system may require registration and verification of devices associated with an individual or other individuals to which control over access may be granted. Data management system may vest control over access to data to the device associated with the individual for which data is stored, and progressively vest control over access to data to other devices associated with other individuals as an increasing amount of information indicating the lack of capacity of the individual to authorize access to data. When access to data is granted by the individuals, the data may be scrutinized with respect to other types of restrictions on distribution of the data.
