Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack an efficient method to automatically remove personal information and replace it with hint information when sharing data, leading to unintentional exposure of personal data.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device is configured to analyze shared data for personal information, generate hint information, replace the personal information with hint information, and share the modified data, ensuring user privacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual removal of personal information is performed before sharing data, then personal information exposure is prevented, but user convenience deteriorates and time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal information protectionVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic detection and replacement of personal information without requiring user intervention. The electronic device autonomously analyzes shared data, identifies personal information patterns, replaces them with hint information, and restores them for receiving devices, eliminating manual effort while maintaining privacy protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Personal information is detected and replaced with hint information before the data sharing process begins. This preliminary processing ensures privacy protection is built-in from the start, preventing exposure during transmission while maintaining user convenience through automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If manual addition of personal information is performed after receiving shared data, then data completeness is improved, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where hint information in shared data triggers automatic personal information restoration at the receiving end. The receiving device detects hint information patterns, retrieves corresponding personal information, and restores it to maintain data completeness without requiring manual user intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving electronic device autonomously performs personal information restoration by detecting hint information and automatically retrieving the corresponding personal data. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual addition of personal information while ensuring data completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If automatic personal information detection and replacement is implemented, then user privacy is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser privacy protectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms personal information into a different form (hint information) through parameter change. By converting sensitive data into placeholder patterns that retain structural information but remove identifying details, the system achieves privacy protection through data transformation rather than complex encryption or multiple processing layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified copy or representation of personal information in the form of hint information. This copy retains the essential structure and context needed for data functionality while eliminating sensitive identifying details, reducing complexity compared to full encryption approaches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Various embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic device, a method, and a recording medium configured to provide data sharing based on artificial intelligence (AI). The electronic device according to an embodiment may analyze shared data selected based on an input requesting to shared data of the electronic device. The electronic device may, based on the shared data including the personal information, generate hint information related to the personal information so that information corresponding to the personal information may be inferred by an external electronic device. The electronic device may replace the personal information with the hint information in the shared data and share the shared data including the hint information.
