Innovation Solution

A driving device and method for a security tool system that employs encryption to dynamically convert folder tree structures, managing conversion information and converting file reading commands, thereby enhancing security and reducing the need for on-site expert intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the folder system structure is changed to improve security, then security against hacking and data leakage is improved, but time and cost for implementation increase due to requiring engineer dispatch to each equipment

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidtime for structure change
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic folder structure conversion without requiring external engineer intervention. The conversion device autonomously executes the conversion process by acquiring original folder structures, converting them to encrypted versions, and managing the converted structures, thereby eliminating the need for manual dispatch to each equipment site.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The folder structure conversion is performed in advance before potential security threats materialize. The system proactively converts folder structures from original to encrypted versions, establishing security defenses before hacking or data leakage incidents can occur, rather than reacting after breaches are detected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the folder system structure is changed frequently to maintain security, then protection against intruders is improved, but operational costs and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidcost efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The automatic conversion system eliminates the need for repeated engineer dispatches by autonomously performing folder structure conversions. This self-service capability reduces operational costs associated with manual intervention while enabling frequent security updates without proportionally increasing expenses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables periodic conversion of folder structures at scheduled intervals or triggered by specific events. This periodic action maintains security by regularly updating folder structures while controlling costs through automated execution rather than continuous manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Reliability

If the folder system structure is made unique to each equipment to prevent hacking, then security is improved, but infrastructure construction and management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates unique encrypted folder structures by converting original templates for each equipment. Instead of manually designing unique structures, the conversion device automatically generates and deploys customized folder structures across multiple devices, reducing management complexity while maintaining uniqueness for security purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The folder structure conversion device serves multiple functions: acquiring original structures, converting them to encrypted versions, managing converted structures, and restoring them if needed. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single universal platform, reducing overall management complexity.

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

4Manufacturing precision

If on-site expert intervention is required for folder structure conversion, then conversion accuracy is ensured, but time and cost for implementation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversion accuracyVSAvoidimplementation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The conversion device autonomously performs folder structure conversion without requiring on-site expert intervention. The automated process maintains conversion accuracy through programmed algorithms while eliminating the time delay associated with scheduling and dispatching experts to each equipment location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual expert intervention with an automated computational process. The conversion device uses algorithmic methods to perform folder structure conversion that was previously done manually by experts, maintaining accuracy through systematic processing while dramatically reducing implementation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
