To address the core challenge of synergistically optimizing privacy protection, data utility, system real-time performance, and privacy budget utilization efficiency in multi-sensor interaction scenarios of smart museums, this paper proposes a hierarchical adaptive privacy protection strategy that integrates local differential privacy and federated learning (abbreviated as: LDP-FL-HAPPS). This method employs a multi-sensor data hierarchical model to classify collected data into core privacy-level and general privacy-level categories, achieving differentiated privacy protection. A dynamic LDP perturbation mechanism is used to adjust noise intensity in real time based on data sensitivity, minimizing data distortion while ensuring privacy. A privacy-aware federated fusion algorithm is designed to optimize the accuracy and transmission efficiency of multi-sensor data fusion, which can enhance data visualization effectiveness. A hierarchical adaptive budget allocation strategy is introduced, combining data privacy levels with feature correlation to achieve efficient utilization and rational allocation of the privacy budget. Experimental results demonstrate that the hierarchical privacy budget allocation strategy proposed in this paper is highly effective in protecting multi-sensor data privacy. Under various privacy budget configurations, the system’s overall privacy leakage probability can be as low as 4.5%. In an extreme scenario involving 1,000 membership inference attacks, the leakage probability for core privacy-sensitive data was only 8.9%, it validates the method’s effectiveness in defending against adaptive attacks. With a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.334, a total data processing latency of approximately 68 ms, and a privacy budget utilization rate reaching 95.7%, this approach offers an efficient and reliable technical solution for multi-sensor privacy protection in smart museums.
