Abstract

A system for generation of processed data for use in third party relationship monitoring is described. The system includes a communications system providing services to subscribing users. The communications system includes a rules database for storing rules, a data mining agent for mining and storing data relating to subscribing users, a content generator for generating protected user-related data from the mined data and communicating said user-related data over an interface, and a rights object generator for generating a usage rights object in response to the rules stored in the rules database and communicating said usage rights object over the interface. A tamper proof processing arrangement is connected to the interface. The tamper proof processing arrangement receives the user-related data and usage rights object from the communications system and processes the user-related data under control of the usage rights object. A signal output generator generates an output signal representative of processed data received from the processing arrangement.
