Dynamic Sensitivity Labeling for Document Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods fail to dynamically adjust sensitivity labels for document information over time and cannot assign labels based on content, leading to inappropriate labeling as information importance changes.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that detect predetermined operations on document information, extract content, acquire policy information from a policy server, and determine sensitivity labels in real-time based on the content and policy information, allowing for flexible labeling and execution control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sensitivity labels are assigned statically at document creation, then the labeling process is simple and fast, but the labels become inaccurate as information importance changes over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic sensitivity labeling by continuously monitoring document access operations and updating labels in real-time based on detected access patterns. The system transitions from static labeling at document creation to dynamic labeling that adapts as documents are accessed, modified, or shared, ensuring label accuracy reflects current information sensitivity without requiring complete re-labeling processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by detecting document access operations (viewing, editing, sharing) and using this information to adjust sensitivity labels. The labeling process receives continuous feedback from actual document usage patterns, allowing the system to refine labels based on observed access behavior rather than relying solely on initial static classification.
2Reliability
If sensitivity labels are determined in real-time based on content analysis, then label accuracy improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary content analysis and sensitivity assessment when documents are first created or imported, establishing initial sensitivity labels before full real-time monitoring begins. This preliminary action reduces the processing burden during subsequent real-time operations, as the system can make incremental adjustments based on access patterns rather than performing complete content re-analysis for every label update.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic sensitivity label reviews at scheduled intervals rather than continuous real-time analysis. The system periodically re-evaluates document sensitivity based on accumulated access data and updates labels at appropriate intervals, balancing the need for accurate labels with the computational cost of continuous analysis. This periodic approach reduces processing time while maintaining label accuracy.

AI summary
A sensitivity label for document information in a document may be determined in real time, according to one embodiment, by flexibly and dynamically determining a sensitivity label for the document based on content included in information within the document. Information within a document varies from day to day, for example, document information may decrease in importance with time, increase in importance due to an event, etc. Therefore, the sensitivity label of the document, according to embodiments described herein, may also change dynamically in accordance with document content, information, etc.
