Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for protecting and storing innovation-creativity data face challenges such as procedural delays, resource mismatches, and inefficiencies in intellectual property (IP) protection, particularly in ensuring the integrity and universality of data storage across different applications, leading to potential failure in timely and effective IP protection.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows users to collect and store innovation-creativity data through a user equipment (UE) connected to a cloud server, using a first data string for integrity verification and trusted time information to ensure real-time, legitimate evidence preservation, integrating data collection modes and IP licensing platforms for seamless protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing approaches are used for IP protection, then inventors can protect their ideas, but procedural delays and transactional delays occur, leading to higher costs and lower efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically collecting, verifying, and storing innovation data in real-time before IP protection procedures are initiated. The data is pre-processed, hashed, and stored with timestamps, eliminating the need for manual document compilation and reducing procedural delays when IP protection is later sought.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing inventors to automatically record and preserve their innovation data through automated collection methods (screenshots, recordings, sensors) without needing to hire professionals or navigate complex procedures. The data is automatically verified through hashing and stored with cryptographic proof, empowering inventors to protect their ideas independently and efficiently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data processing applications are used for different types of data, then various data can be collected, but data is stored separately making it difficult to unify and integrate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements universality by providing a single integrated platform that can collect and store multiple types of innovation data (text, images, audio, video, sensor data) through various collection modes. The unified database and standardized hashing process handle all data types consistently, eliminating the need for multiple separate applications while maintaining adaptability to different data formats.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges previously separate data collection and storage functions into a single integrated system. Different data collection methods (screenshots, recordings, manual input, sensor data) are combined into one platform that stores all data in a unified database with consistent verification and timestamping, simplifying the user experience and data management.
3Reliability
If manual document compilation is required for IP protection, then IP procedures can be initiated, but difficulties in compiling required documents lead to higher costs and lower efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically generating all necessary documentation for IP protection. The platform collects innovation data, generates cryptographic hashes, creates timestamps, and prepares verification materials automatically, eliminating the need for inventors to manually compile complex documents while ensuring the reliability and legal validity of the IP protection process.
4Reliability
If data is stored locally in UE only, then data privacy is maintained, but real-time cloud verification and integrity checking cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential verification elements (cryptographic hashes and timestamps) from the original innovation data and stores these on the cloud server. The full original data remains stored locally in the user's device, maintaining privacy and security. The cloud-stored hashes enable integrity verification without exposing the actual innovation content, effectively separating verification needs from data storage.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method for processing innovation-creativity data information, a user equipment (UE) and a cloud server, which provide a user with an integrated data information collecting mode, allowing that innovation-creativity data information of a user be collected anytime, anywhere, through various means, and be sent to a cloud. A first data string is generated based on the data information, and preserving information returned from the cloud is received, which includes the first data string or a second data string. The first data string enables verification of data information integrity, ensuring integrity of the data information. The second data string includes trusted time information issued by a trusted time issuing device based on time when the first data string is received. The data information goes through a data-oriented online processing, realizing a seamlessly connected IP services for real-time protection of innovation and creativity.
