Solution Overview

Problem

Existing email systems lack effective filtering and screening capabilities, particularly in managing sensitive information, leading to inadequate risk assessment and security measures, resulting in potential data exposure and misclassification of emails.

Innovation Solution

A secure computing infrastructure that intercepts electronic messages before transmission, categorizes recipient devices, generates content segments using machine learning, and applies security parameters based on recipient categories to block incompatible messages, utilizing a server or hybrid model for centralized management and resource optimization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If standard mail server settings are used for email filtering, then the system is simple to operate, but the filtering precision and risk assessment capability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemail filtering precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments email content into multiple content segments and analyzes each segment separately using machine learning models. This segmentation approach enables precise identification of sensitive information while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary risk assessment and security parameter selection before email transmission. By categorizing recipient devices and pre-determining security parameters, the system prepares filtering criteria in advance, improving filtering precision without adding operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If generic security measures are applied to all emails, then the system is easy to implement, but the security effectiveness for sensitive information is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity effectivenessVSAvoidsecurity measure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different security parameters to different content segments based on their sensitivity and the recipient device category. Instead of uniform security measures, the system tailors security requirements to specific content types and recipient contexts, improving security effectiveness while maintaining reasonable complexity through targeted application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects security parameters based on real-time analysis of email content and recipient device category. Machine learning models adapt security requirements according to the specific message being transmitted, ensuring appropriate security effectiveness without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If machine learning models are used for security parameter selection, then the risk assessment accuracy is improved, but the computing resource utilization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk assessment accuracyVSAvoidcomputing resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies machine learning models selectively to content segments that require detailed analysis rather than processing every email uniformly. By focusing computational resources on segments with potential sensitive information or higher risk profiles, the system improves risk assessment accuracy while reducing overall computing resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Secure computing infrastructure for electronic messages is described herein. A system can intercept an electronic message for transmission to a recipient device. The system can determine, prior to transmission of the electronic message for receipt by the recipient device, a category of the recipient device based on a domain name associated with an internet protocol address of the recipient device. The system can generate a plurality of content segments based on overlapping sequences of words in the electronic message. The system can identify, using machine learning models and based on the category of the recipient device, a security parameter to apply to the electronic message. The system can detect, using machine learning models, an incompatibility between a content segment and the security parameter. The system can block, responsive to the detection of the incompatibility, the transmission of the electronic message for receipt by the recipient device.
