Solution Overview

Problem

In computer systems equipped with artificial intelligence, there is a vulnerability in protecting information as the memory system can easily transmit contents information to the host computer, making it susceptible to unauthorized extraction.

Innovation Solution

A memory system connected to a host computer that includes a storage for application programs, a contents database, and circuitry using an artificial intelligence algorithm to infer and select specific adjustment candidate information, protecting information by outputting only necessary adjustment contents information to the host computer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If the memory system transmits all contents information to the host computer, then the host computer can execute AI inference processing, but the contents information becomes easy to extract unjustly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI inference processing capabilityVSAvoidUnauthorized extraction of contents information
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary adjustment contents information from the contents database and transmits it to the host computer, rather than transmitting all contents information. This selective extraction maintains AI inference capability while minimizing the exposure of protectable information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the contents information into multiple components: adjustment contents information (transmitted to host computer) and other contents information (retained in memory system). This segmentation allows the host computer to perform AI inference on the necessary data while the memory system retains control over the complete information set, preventing unauthorized extraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the memory system stores and transmits all contents candidate information, then the host computer has sufficient data for AI inference, but the risk of illegal copying increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI inference accuracyVSAvoidInformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the adjustment contents information required for AI inference from the complete contents database. This extraction provides sufficient data for accurate AI inference while reducing the information available for potential illegal copying, thus maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment contents information acts as an intermediary between the complete contents database and the host computer. It mediates the information flow by providing necessary data for AI inference without exposing the entire contents database, thereby protecting against illegal copying while maintaining inference accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If the memory system outputs all contents information, then the host computer can fully utilize the data, but the information protection is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveData utilization efficiencyVSAvoidUnauthorized access to contents
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary adjustment contents information from the contents database and outputs it to the host computer. This selective output maintains data utilization efficiency for AI inference while preventing unauthorized access to the complete contents information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by outputting only the portion of contents information (adjustment contents information) that is necessary for AI inference, rather than outputting all contents information. This partial output maintains productivity while reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
