Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bank account privacy protection, and in particular to a processing method for bank account privacy protection based on a waterproof tree. Background Art

[0002] A bank account is a general term for deposit accounts, loan accounts, and current accounts opened by customers at a bank. In my country, bank accounts are categorized into three types: basic accounts, special accounts, and supplementary accounts, based on their intended use. In bank accounting, detailed and general ledger accounts are used to ensure the authenticity, completeness, and accuracy of account records. These accounts provide detailed and summarized records of the sources and uses of funds arising from banking operations and financial activities.

[0003] During the use of bank accounts, the privacy protection of accounts is not strong enough, so we propose a method for bank account privacy protection based on waterproof tree. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a processing method for bank account privacy protection based on a waterproof tree. The method targets the real-time service information of a bank account and its multi-view users. The waterproof tree makes the association between the account and multiple view users transparent, which can effectively realize the privacy protection of the bank account.

[0005] The present invention discloses a method for protecting bank account privacy based on a waterproof tree, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Determine the service functions available to the view user by obtaining the type of the view user's bank account.

[0007] Step 2: Obtain the bank account's settings for the view user's transaction amount, and clarify the upper limit of the service transaction amount for the multi-view user under the premise of multi-view;

[0008] Step 3: Set the service functions and upper limit requirements based on the view user's capabilities and build a privacy protection waterproof tree model for the bank account;

[0009] Step 4: For the real-time service information of the bank account and its multiple view users, the waterproof tree transparently associates the account with multiple view users, but the view users are not aware of each other's existence, effectively realizing the privacy protection of the bank account;

[0010] Step 5: Combine the service function information set for the view user by the bank account and monitor and audit the multi-view users based on the waterproof tree;

[0011] Step 6: Output privacy protection information feedback based on the bank account.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the step of determining the service functions available to the view user by obtaining the type of the view user's bank account specifically includes:

[0013] Step 11: Obtain the normal view, trusted view, protected view, and hidden view of the bank account.

[0014] Step 12: Obtain the service function enabled by the view user;

[0015] Step 13: determine whether the service function is selected by the view user. If yes, the bank account can execute the service function available for the view.

[0016] As a preferred solution, the setting of obtaining the bank account's transaction amount for the view user clarifies the upper limit of the service transaction amount of the multi-view user under the premise of multi-view, specifically including:

[0017] Step 21: Obtain the expected upper limit of the total turnover of the bank account for the view user, which is achieved through the upper limit coefficient p, and the value of P is between (0, 1);

[0018] Step 22: extract the total turnover generated by the service functions possessed by the view user;

[0019] Step 23: Determine the total transaction volume of the service function. When the determination value is less than or equal to the expected upper limit setting value of the account, the view service function is executed normally, and transactions are generated with each service. When the determination value is greater than the expected upper limit setting value of the account, a real-time alarm is issued or the view user is frozen according to the view type.

[0020] As a preferred solution, the privacy protection waterproof tree model of the bank account is constructed according to the setting of the view user service function and the upper limit requirement, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 211: Construct a privacy protection and waterproof tree model of the bank account based on the bank account, the view user, and the service functions of the view;

[0022] Step 212: Using the bank account as the root node of the waterproof tree model;

[0023] Step 213: According to the view user, a child node of the root node of the waterproof tree model is used, also called a view node;

[0024] Step 214: Based on the service functions of the view user, a view subtree is formed as a child node of the view node of the waterproof tree. In the view subtree, the specific transactions provided by the view user are leaf nodes.

[0025] As a preferred solution, the real-time service information of the bank account and its multi-view users is transparently associated with the account and the multi-view users, effectively realizing the privacy protection of the bank account, specifically including:

[0026] According to the privacy-preserving waterproof tree structure, all subtrees can be traversed starting from the root node, that is, the account can be visible to all view user information;

[0027] Multiple view subtrees are independent of each other, but the root node of the view subtree can visualize all service information of the view, and the leaf nodes of the view subtree are specific transaction information.

[0028] As a preferred solution, the service function information set for the view user in combination with the bank account is used to monitor and audit the multi-view users based on the waterproof tree to ensure the consistency of the account data, specifically including:

[0029] Step 51: Based on the privacy protection waterproof tree established for the bank account, a log of the bank account and the view user is generated by regularly traversing the waterproof tree;

[0030] Step 52: Monitor and audit the account transaction flow based on the user's log. The design of account transaction audit and privacy protection consists of three parts:

[0031] Step 53: Determine whether the service flow of the bank account is consistent with the service flow of multiple view users.

[0032] As a preferred solution, the outputting of privacy protection information feedback based on the bank account specifically includes:

[0033] According to the multi-view user, monitoring and auditing are performed based on the waterproof tree, and the flow information table in the flow log of the view user includes: time, service type, amount, and view type information.

[0034] As a preferred solution, the privacy protection information feedback output based on the bank account also includes account transactions and audit information in multiple views, over-limit warning and anti-fraud warning information, and account protection anti-hijacking alarm information.

[0035] As a preferred solution, the view users are unaware of each other's existence.

[0036] As a preferred solution, a processing method for bank account privacy protection based on a waterproof tree is stored inside an application of a computer architecture and driven by a burned program. It also includes a bus architecture, a memory and a bus interface. The bus architecture may include any number of interconnected buses and bridges. The bus architecture will link together various circuits including one or more processors represented by a processor and a memory represented by a memory. The bus architecture can also connect together various other circuits such as peripheral devices, voltage regulators and power management circuits. The bus interface provides an interface between the bus architecture and the receiver and transmitter. The receiver and transmitter can be the same component, namely a transceiver, which provides a unit for communicating with various other systems on a transmission medium.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the processing method for protecting bank account privacy based on a waterproof tree disclosed in the present invention are:

[0038] Through the overall structure of the device, for the real-time service information of bank accounts and their multi-view users, the waterproof tree makes the association between accounts and multiple view users transparent, but the view users are not aware of each other's existence, effectively realizing the privacy protection of bank accounts, and combined with the service function information set by the bank account for the view user, in order to ensure the consistency of account data, the multi-view users are monitored and audited based on the waterproof tree to ensure the consistency of account data.

[0041] The present invention will be further described and explained below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0042] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for protecting bank account privacy based on a waterproof tree, comprising the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: Determine the service functions available to the view user by obtaining the type of the view user's bank account.

[0044] Specifically: the view users are unaware of each other's existence, effectively achieving privacy protection of bank accounts.

[0045] Step 2: Obtain the bank account's settings for the view user's transaction amount, and clarify the upper limit of the service transaction amount for the multi-view user under the premise of multi-view;

[0046] Specifically: obtain the upper limit of the service flow of the bank account for multi-view users, form a specific plan for privacy protection of the account's multi-views, combine the corresponding relationship table of the account's multiple views and their services, obtain the service data, and obtain the information table of the account and view services.

[0047] Step 3: Set the service functions and upper limit requirements based on the view user's capabilities and build a privacy protection waterproof tree model for the bank account;

[0048] Step 4: For the real-time service information of the bank account and its multiple view users, the waterproof tree transparently associates the account with multiple view users, but the view users are not aware of each other's existence, effectively realizing the privacy protection of the bank account;

[0049] Specifically, after the bank account waterproof tree is established, business information of the services is generated through various services of each view user. The account and view user information is obtained to form the waterproof tree account flow information table.

[0050] Step 5: Combine the service function information set for the view user by the bank account and monitor and audit the multi-view users based on the waterproof tree;

[0051] Specifically: In order to ensure the consistency of account data, multi-view users are monitored and audited based on the waterproof tree to ensure the consistency of account data

[0052] Step 6: Output privacy protection information feedback based on the bank account.

[0053] Specifically: The privacy protection information feedback output based on the bank account also includes the account transaction and audit information in multiple views, over-limit warning and anti-fraud warning information, and account protection anti-hijacking alarm information.

[0054] The step of determining the service functions available to the view user by obtaining the type of the view user with respect to the bank account specifically includes:

[0055] Step 11: Obtain the normal view, trusted view, protected view, and hidden view of the bank account.

[0056] Step 12: Obtain the service function enabled by the view user;

[0057] Step 13: determine whether the service function is selected by the view user. If yes, the bank account can execute the service function available for the view.

[0058] Specifically, bank accounts establish a service relationship with views based on pre-configured bank accounts. This allows for consistency across multiple bank account views through the waterproof tree, further enhancing privacy protection. In the case of multiple views, the waterproof tree allows for transaction auditing of accounts across views and users, effectively providing limit alerts to prevent over-spending and theft, and providing alerts to prevent hijacking and emergencies.

[0059] The setting of obtaining the bank account's transaction amount for the view user clarifies the upper limit of the service transaction amount of the multi-view user under the premise of multi-view, specifically including:

[0060] Step 21: Obtain the expected upper limit of the total turnover of the bank account for the view user, which is achieved through the upper limit coefficient p, and the value of P is between (0, 1);

[0061] Step 22: extract the total turnover generated by the service functions possessed by the view user;

[0062] Step 23: Determine the total transaction volume of the service function. When the determination value is less than or equal to the expected upper limit setting value of the account, the view service function is executed normally, and transactions are generated with each service. When the determination value is greater than the expected upper limit setting value of the account, a real-time alarm is issued or the view user is frozen according to the view type.

[0063] The privacy protection and waterproof tree model of the bank account is constructed according to the setting of the view user service function and the upper limit requirement, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 211: Construct a privacy protection and waterproof tree model of the bank account based on the bank account, the view user, and the service functions of the view;

[0065] Step 212: Using the bank account as the root node of the waterproof tree model;

[0066] Step 213: According to the view user, a child node of the root node of the waterproof tree model is used, also called a view node;

[0067] Step 214: Based on the service functions of the view user, a view subtree is formed as a child node of the view node of the waterproof tree. In the view subtree, the specific transactions provided by the view user are leaf nodes.

[0068] Specifically: the root node of the waterproof tree is the current bank account, and the child nodes of the waterproof tree root are view nodes.

[0069] The real-time service information of bank accounts and their multi-view users is transparently associated with the waterproof tree, effectively protecting the privacy of bank accounts. Specifically, it includes:

[0070] According to the privacy-preserving waterproof tree structure, all subtrees can be traversed starting from the root node, that is, the account can be visible to all view user information;

[0071] Multiple view subtrees are independent of each other, but the root node of the view subtree can visualize all service information of the view, and the leaf nodes of the view subtree are specific transaction information.

[0072] The service function information set for the view user in combination with the bank account is used to monitor and audit the multi-view users based on the waterproof tree to ensure the consistency of the account data, specifically including:

[0073] Step 51: Based on the privacy protection waterproof tree established for the bank account, a log of the bank account and the view user is generated by regularly traversing the waterproof tree;

[0074] Step 52: Monitor and audit the account transaction flow based on the user's log. The design of account transaction audit and privacy protection consists of three parts:

[0075] Step 53: Determine whether the service flow of the bank account is consistent with the service flow of multiple view users.

[0076] Specifically: Determine the transaction flow of various services performed by the view user, and the total amount cannot exceed the expected set value of the account. If it exceeds, an alarm will be issued and the view user's service will be frozen.

[0077] Identify the occurrence of emergencies and take corresponding measures, identify the set protection view amount, and immediately issue an alarm if it exceeds the protection view account threshold.

[0078] Outputting privacy protection information feedback based on the bank account specifically includes:

[0079] According to the multi-view user, monitoring and auditing are performed based on the waterproof tree. The flow information table in the flow log of the view user includes information such as time, service type, amount, view type, etc.

[0080] A method for processing bank account privacy protection based on a waterproof tree is stored in an application program of a computer architecture and driven by a burned program. It also includes a bus architecture, a memory and a bus interface. The bus architecture may include any number of interconnected buses and bridges. The bus architecture will link together various circuits including one or more processors represented by a processor and a memory represented by a memory. The bus architecture can also connect together various other circuits such as peripheral devices, voltage regulators and power management circuits. The bus interface provides an interface between the bus architecture and a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver and transmitter can be the same component, namely a transceiver, which provides a unit for communicating with various other systems on a transmission medium.

[0081] Example

[0082] Gets data of user type of bank account setting view.

[0083] Get the view selected by the bank account. The account privacy protection scheme is formed through selection and setting. The views include the regular view ComView, the trusted view TruView, the protected view ProView, and the hidden view HideView. The privacy protection scheme of the account is formed through selection and setting. Multiple views of the account and its services can form a corresponding relationship table.

[0084] Get data about multi-view user services.

[0085] Obtain the upper limit of the service flow of the bank account for multi-view users, form a specific plan for privacy protection of the account multi-view, combine the corresponding relationship table of the account multiple views and their services, and after obtaining the service data, the information table of the account and view with the service is shown in Table 1.

[0086] Table 1 Information table of bank accounts and view services

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] Build a bank account waterproof tree model

[0090] Based on the relationship tables corresponding to multiple views of bank accounts and their services, a waterproof tree model of the current bank account is constructed.

[0091] The account waterproof tree construction rules are:

[0092] A waterproof tree is a finite set of w (w ≥ 0) nodes. When w = 0, it is called an empty tree. In any non-empty tree:

[0093] ① There is only one root node, the bank account Mtotal is the root node of the tree, and the height of the root node is h = 0;

[0094] ② When the node height h=1, the child node of the root is the view node Vn (n>=0), which is a finite set of n non-intersecting nodes V1, V2,...Vn. The corresponding view nodes are ComView node, TruView node, ProView node and HideView node, etc.

[0095] ③ When the node height h>=2, the node can be divided into m (m>0) non-intersecting finite sets S1, S2,...Sm, each of which is itself a tree and is called a view subtree.

[0096] According to the rules, the current waterproof tree model of bank accounts is:

[0097] ①The root node of the waterproof tree is the current bank account: Account instance, which is represented by MA below;

[0098] ② When the node height h = 1, the child node of the waterproof tree root is the view node Vn (n>=3), which is a finite set of n mutually disjoint sets V1, V2, and V3. The corresponding view nodes are ComView node, TruView node, and HideView node.

[0099] ③ When the node height h = 2, it is divided into m (m>0) non-intersecting finite sets S1, S2, ...Sm, each of which is itself a tree and is called a view subtree.

[0100] Bank account waterproof tree such as Figure 2 As shown:

[0101] Enter the business information of the account and view user

[0102] After the bank account waterproof tree is established, business information of the service is generated through various services of each view user. The account and view user information is obtained to form the waterproof tree account flow information table. The setting expression recorded in the flow information table is:

[0103] {ID; Time; Sm; ASm; Vn}

[0104] Among them, Time represents the service time; Sm represents the service type; ASm represents the turnover amount: when the turnover amount is greater than zero, it means that the user service generates expenditure; when the turnover amount is less than zero, it means that the user service generates income; Vn represents the view user.

[0105] Based on the waterproof tree account flow information table, you can view various bank account information using different dimensions. When a service function is selected in different views, you can calculate the transaction bill for that service.

[0106] This embodiment uses the transaction statement of the "financial management" service queried by the bank account when the "financial management" service is selected simultaneously by three different views of the bank account.

[0108] Output bank account privacy protection information

[0109] Based on the previously configured bank account and view relationships, a service relationship exists between bank accounts. This waterproof tree allows for consistency across multiple bank account views, further enhancing privacy protection. In the case of multiple views, the waterproof tree allows for transaction auditing of accounts across views and users, effectively providing limit alerts to prevent over-spending and theft, and providing alerts to prevent hijacking and emergencies.

[0110] Account transaction audit and privacy protection information feedback includes three situations:

[0111] The service flows of the bank account (M) are consistent with the service flows of the multiple view users (Vi). At this time, the information feedback indicates that the account and multiple views are executed normally.

[0112] Account and multi-view service flow is consistent, indicating that and

[0113] Equal, where m≥i≥1, n≥i≥1, Si represents each service, ASi represents the flow generated by each service, and AVi represents the amount of each flow of each view user.

[0114] If the total transaction amount of various services of the view user exceeds the upper limit, an over-limit information will be fed back and the service will be frozen.

[0115] The total amount of turnover f(A) of each service provided by the user Vi ) cannot exceed the expected account setting value f(A Sm ), where the view user Among them (m≥i≥1), the expected setting value of the account f(A Sm )=p·A total , that is: f(A Vi )<f(A Sm ), otherwise an alarm will be issued and the service of the view user will be frozen.

[0116] If there is any emergency in the account, please report the abnormal account information and call the police immediately.

[0117] To anticipate emergencies and prevent hijacking, set up the protection view ProView. The protection view amount is set with other views. Figure 1 The account is completed and the account threshold Alimit is set when the account balance is set. When the protection view is started and the threshold is exceeded, an alarm is triggered, that is:

[0118] Vlimit is true, and f(A Vi )>Alimit, indicating an emergency, call the police immediately.
