Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to securely manage sensitive information access for tasks performed by representatives on behalf of members, risking exposure to unauthorized entities.

Innovation Solution

A system generates a real-time link to a data privacy vault where members store sensitive information, accessible only to high-trust representatives, ensuring secure access and usage without exposing the information to unauthorized entities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sensitive information is made accessible to representatives for task completion, then task productivity is improved, but information security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion efficiencyVSAvoidinformation exposure risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments access rights by creating two distinct representative roles: standard representatives who can initiate tasks and high-trust representatives who can access sensitive information. This segmentation allows task productivity to be maintained through representative involvement while information security is protected by restricting sensitive data access to only those with verified high-trust status.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary verification mechanism that acts as a mediator between the need for information access and security requirements. The verification process confirms representative trust status before granting access to sensitive information, enabling task completion while preventing unauthorized exposure through the intermediary verification layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If sensitive information is stored in a vault inaccessible to representatives, then information security is improved, but task execution capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunauthorized access preventionVSAvoidtask execution feasibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic access control where the vault's accessibility changes based on representative verification status. Standard representatives cannot access the vault, but verified high-trust representatives gain temporary access when needed for task completion. This dynamic approach maintains security while enabling task execution when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different access qualities to different representatives based on their verified trust status. High-trust representatives receive elevated access permissions to the vault while standard representatives do not, allowing the system to maintain strong default security while providing enhanced capabilities where verified trust warrants it for task completion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If sensitive information is made available to representatives, then task completion is enabled, but access control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverepresentative access capabilityVSAvoidaccess control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service verification where representatives can have their trust status automatically confirmed through predefined verification processes. This self-service approach reduces the need for complex manual access control procedures, enabling representatives to gain necessary access capabilities while keeping the access control system manageable through automated verification rather than complex administrative oversight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems and methods for automatic securitization of sensitive information accessible under limited circumstances for the execution of tasks are provided. The systems and methods may receive a request to perform a task that corresponds to operations performable to complete the task. These operations include a sensitive operation that require use of sensitive information associated with a member. A link is generated in real-time as other operations are being performed. Through the link, the member can store their sensitive information in a data privacy vault without exposing the sensitive information to unauthorized entities. The task is transferred to a high-trust representative when the other operations are performed to allow the high-trust representative to access the data privacy vault to obtain the sensitive information. The high-trust representative uses the sensitive information to perform the sensitive operation without exposing the sensitive information to the member or any other unauthorized entity.
