DESCRIPTION:Join us for a şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ School of Information Studies (SIS) Semina
 r Series talk with guest speaker Dr. Patrick C. K. Hung on privacy protect
 ion related to data collected from children's smart toys.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nA
  toy is an item or product intended for learning or play\, which can have 
 various benefits to childhood development. Children’s toys have become inc
 reasingly sophisticated over the years\, with a growing shift from simple 
 physical products to toys that engage the digital world. Toy makers are se
 izing this opportunity to develop products that combine the characteristic
 s of traditional toys such as dolls and stuffed toys with computing softwa
 re and hardware. A smart anthropomorphism toy is defined as a device consi
 sting of a physical toy component in the humanoid form that connects to a 
 computing system through networking and sensory technologies to enhance th
 e functionality of a traditional toy. Many studies found out that anthropo
 morphic designs resulted in greater user engagement. Children trusted such
  designs serve a good purpose and felt less anxious about privacy. While t
 here have been many efforts by governments and international organizations
  such as UNICEF to encourage the protection of children’s data online\, th
 ere is currently no standard privacy-preserving framework for mobile toy c
 omputing applications. Children’s privacy is becoming a major concern for 
 parents who wish to protect their children from potential harms related to
  the collection or misuse of their private data\, particularly their locat
 ion. This talk presents the related research issues with a video demo.\n\n
