Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminal security detection methods cannot perform real-time security checks, leading to delays in detecting virus software and potential threats, as they rely on manual triggers or periodic updates, which may not align with the latest security data.

Innovation Solution

A method that synchronizes mobile terminal information with a cloud service, allowing for real-time updates and monitoring of security data, enabling immediate detection of security risks and generating security information to prompt or eliminate threats based on the latest data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If security detection is performed manually or periodically on a mobile terminal, then the detection process is simple to implement, but the security detection cannot be performed in real time and there is always a delay

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity detection timelinessVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of having the mobile terminal actively initiate security detection and download updates, the cloud server proactively pushes security information to the terminal. This inversion of the traditional client-initiated model enables real-time security updates without requiring frequent manual user actions or complex local detection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud service automatically manages security data updates and detection processes, performing self-service functions without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously synchronizes security information, performs detection, and pushes results to the terminal, reducing both user burden and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the mobile terminal downloads latest security data from a cloud in each security detection process, then the detection uses updated security information, but the process cannot be performed in real time and requires manual triggering or periodic execution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server continuously maintains and updates security data, and the mobile terminal continuously receives pushed security information in real-time. This continuous action eliminates the gaps between periodic detections, ensuring the terminal always has the latest security data without requiring manual intervention or waiting for scheduled updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the cloud server monitors security data changes and automatically pushes updates to terminals that need them. This feedback mechanism ensures timely delivery of security information based on actual changes in the security landscape, rather than relying on fixed periodic schedules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If security detection is set to be performed when the mobile terminal starts up or every once in a while, then the system resource consumption is reduced, but virus software may threaten information security at a time interval between two times of security detection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem resource efficiencyVSAvoidinformation security protection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server performs preliminary actions by proactively pushing security information to the mobile terminal before threats can exploit detection intervals. This advance delivery of security data ensures the terminal is always protected without requiring frequent local detection cycles, balancing resource efficiency with continuous security protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Obtaining mobile terminal security information based on a cloud service includes synchronizing mobile terminal information with a cloud, receiving security information sent by the cloud, and performing corresponding security processing according to the security information. The security information is generated when the cloud determines that a security risk exists in a mobile terminal. The generated security information is sent by the cloud to the mobile terminal. Whether the security risk exists in the mobile terminal is obtained by the cloud through determining with reference to the mobile terminal information and latest security data of the cloud, and the determining step is triggered by updating of security data of the cloud.
