Method and apparatus for selective data control
First Claim
1. A method of selectively controlling communication between a data source and a subscriber, said method comprising:
- receiving, from the data source, a stream of obfuscated data at a supervisory processor wherein the data source is a computer coupled to a gas turbine system;
deobfuscating the obfuscated data in the stream;
enabling the subscriber to have access to the stream of data;
controlling transmission of the stream of data from the supervisory processor to the subscriber based on a configuration of the supervisory processor, wherein controlling transmission of the stream of data comprises selectively deobfuscating the obfuscated data in the stream;
determining that the subscriber has failed to satisfy at least one predefined obligation in a data sharing agreement between an owner of the stream of data and the subscriber; and
receiving a disabling configuration instruction at the supervisory processor which alters the configuration of the supervisory processor, wherein the altered configuration of the supervisory processor renders the stream of data that is accessible by the subscriber unusable by the subscriber by not deobfuscating the obfuscated data in the stream.

Abstract
A method of selectively controlling communication between a supervisory processor and a subscriber is provided. The method includes receiving a stream of data at the supervisory processor, controlling transmission of the stream of data from the supervisory processor to the subscriber based on an associated supervisory processor configuration, receiving an enabling configuration at the supervisory processor which alters the supervisory processor configuration, and transmitting at least a portion of the controlled stream of data from the supervisory processor to the subscriber based on the supervisory processor configuration.

7. A data network comprising:
-
a first proprietary network segment configured to receive proprietary data communication that is obfuscated from a proprietary data source, wherein the proprietary data source comprises a computer coupled to a gas turbine system; a supervisory processor communicatively coupled to said first proprietary network segment, said processor configured to execute software instructions based on a processor configuration, said processor configured to selectively transmit subscriber data by selectively deobfuscating the subscriber data; and a subscriber network segment coupled to said supervisory processor, said subscriber network segment configured to enable a subscriber to access a transmission of subscriber data that is deobfuscated and render a transmission of the subscriber data that is accessible by the subscriber from said supervisory processor unusable by not deobfuscating the subscriber data if it is determined that the subscriber has failed to satisfy at least one predefined obligation in a data sharing agreement between an owner of the subscriber data and the subscriber. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A gas turbine control monitoring system for selectively transmitting gas turbine engine operational data from a supervisory processor to a subscriber, said system comprising:
-
a gas turbine control system communicatively coupled to at least one engine sensor; a first proprietary data network communicatively coupled to the gas turbine control system; said supervisory processor communicatively coupled to said first proprietary network for receiving gas turbine engine operational data that is obfuscated; a second proprietary data network communicatively coupled to said supervisory processor; and a subscriber data network communicatively coupled to said supervisory processor, wherein said supervisory processor is configured to transmit gas turbine engine operational data that is deobfuscated to the subscriber through said subscriber data network, and wherein the gas turbine engine operational data transmitted from said supervisory processor to said subscriber is altered and rendered unusable by not deobfuscating the gas turbine engine operational data if it is determined that the subscriber has failed to satisfy at least one predefined obligation in a data sharing agreement between an owner of the gas turbine engine operational data and the subscriber. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
