Solution Overview

Problem

Communication infrastructure used by security personnel and public safety personnel often lacks suitable security levels, leading to potential vulnerabilities and incompatibility with sensitive or confidential discussions, as commercial infrastructure may not meet the security requirements of government agencies.

Innovation Solution

A computing device determines the call security level based on caller profiles and audio content, and dynamically switches the communication infrastructure to align with the required security level, ensuring that calls are conducted on platforms with appropriate security protocols and standards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If commercial communication infrastructure is used for security personnel calls, then cost is reduced and accessibility is improved, but security level and reliability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoidinfrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables a single communication infrastructure to serve multiple security levels by dynamically routing calls to appropriate networks. The computing device analyzes caller profiles and audio content to determine security requirements, then automatically switches between commercial and government communication infrastructures, making the system universally applicable to both secure and non-secure calls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the communication infrastructure based on real-time analysis of call content and caller identities. The computing device continuously monitors calls and switches networks as needed, transforming a static infrastructure into a dynamic system that adapts security levels to match the sensitivity of ongoing communications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If government communication infrastructure is used for secure calls, then security level and reliability are improved, but cost increases and accessibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoidcost efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different security levels to different portions of communication traffic based on local requirements. Rather than elevating all calls to high-security government infrastructure, the system selectively routes only those calls requiring enhanced security to government networks, while allowing routine calls to use cost-effective commercial infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the security parameter of the communication infrastructure dynamically based on call characteristics. By analyzing caller profiles and audio content, the system adjusts the security level parameter in real-time, switching between commercial and government infrastructures to match the actual security needs of each call.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If dynamic infrastructure switching is implemented, then security alignment is improved and compliance is enhanced, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity alignmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of caller profiles before calls are established and continuously monitors audio content during calls. By proactively identifying security requirements in advance and in real-time, the system can pre-position calls on appropriate infrastructures without requiring complex real-time decision-making during critical moments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops by monitoring call content and automatically adjusting infrastructure selection. The computing device analyzes audio streams, identifies sensitive topics, and feeds this information back into the routing decision process, creating a self-regulating system that maintains security alignment without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A device, method and system for changing communication infrastructure based on call security level is provided. A device determines a call security level of a call occurring at a first communication infrastructure; the first communication infrastructure associated with a first security level; the call security level determined from one or more of; a profile of a caller on the call; and audio on the call. In response to determining that the call security level and the first security level are misaligned, the device causes the call to change to a second communication infrastructure associated with a second security level aligned with the call security level.
