  • Patent number: 11924218
    Abstract: A method for accessing a network resource including detecting an attempt by a user via a computing device to access a service enabled by a computing system via a network and transmitting via the network to the computing system a first request to access the service in response to detecting the attempt by the user to access the service, the first request including at least one empty personally identifiable data structure. A failure to access the service responsive to the first request is determined. A second request to access the service in response to the first failure to access the service is transmitted via the network to the computing system, the second request including artificial personally identifiable information, and access to the service from the computing system is received for the user.

  • Publication number: 20230274012
    Abstract: A data sharing control method. The method includes detecting a plurality of images on one or more devices operated by a first user, the one or more devices comprising a particular device. A plurality of tags are determined for the plurality of images, and a plurality of settings are received based on the plurality of tags from a second user. A particular image is detected on the particular device. One or more particular tags of the particular image on the particular device are determined, and a sharing action of the particular image by the particular device is blocked based on the plurality of settings and the one or more particular tags.
