Information Processing Apparatus for Data Registration Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the registration destination of data provided by a system, relying on system-provided information that may be falsified.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that requests registration destination information from multiple targets, allowing users to verify whether data is stored in a peer-to-peer (P2P) database or other storage units, and controls the output of this information to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the system provides registration destination information to users, then users can access data storage location information, but users cannot independently verify the authenticity of this information
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where multiple targets (P2P database and C/S database) independently respond to verification requests about data storage locations. Users receive consistent registration destination information from multiple sources, enabling them to verify authenticity through cross-validation rather than relying on a single potentially falsified source.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary verification process where the information processing device acts as a mediator between users and multiple database targets. This intermediary collects and compares registration destination information from different targets before presenting it to users, ensuring the information's authenticity through multi-source validation.
2Ease of operation
If users rely on system-provided registration destination information, then information access is simplified, but the risk of using falsified information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification actions by automatically requesting and comparing registration destination information from multiple targets before users access the data. This pre-verification process identifies potential falsification risks in advance, allowing users to access information with confidence without manually verifying each data source.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to independently verify registration destination information through self-service verification requests. Users can directly query multiple targets to confirm data storage locations without relying solely on system-provided information, empowering them to detect potential falsification themselves.
3Device complexity
If the system uses a single data source for registration destination information, then system complexity is reduced, but the ability to detect falsification is weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the verification process by dividing it into multiple independent verification channels, each querying different targets (P2P database, C/S database). This segmentation allows the system to maintain relatively simple individual components while achieving sophisticated falsification detection through the combination of multiple verification paths.

AI summary
[Problem] It is possible to confirm whether a registration destination of data is a peer-to-peer type database or a storage unit other than the peer-to-peer type database more appropriately. [Solution] There is provided an information processing apparatus including a requesting unit configured to request information regarding whether a registration destination of data is a P2P database or a storage unit other than the P2P database, to a plurality of targets which is different from each other, and an output control unit configured to control output of information obtained as a result of the request to a user.
