Group Chat Bot Secret Info Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In group chats, when a chatbot is instructed to perform specific processing requiring secret information, there is a risk that unspecified users may inadvertently learn this information as the secret information is often shared within the chat.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that receives an execution command for specific processing on a group chat, acquires secret information from a designated user without revealing it to other users, and controls the processing using this information, ensuring that only authorized users can access or use the secret information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If secret information is posted on the group chat for the chatbot to access, then the chatbot can execute specific processing, but unspecified users in the group chat can know the secret information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a secret information management server as an intermediary between the chatbot and the secret information. Instead of posting secret information directly in the group chat, the chatbot requests secret information from the management server, which provides it through secure authentication. This mediator prevents other group chat users from accessing the secret information while still enabling the chatbot to execute processing.
2Ease of operation
If secret information is transmitted through the group chat to enable processing, then the processing can be executed, but data security and privacy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The secret information management server acts as a secure intermediary that handles all secret information transmission. The chatbot communicates with this server through authenticated requests rather than through the group chat channel. This ensures data security while maintaining the ease of operation for the chatbot to access needed information when authorized.
Solution Approach 2:
The system separates the secret information management function from the group chat function. Secret information is stored and managed separately on a dedicated management server, while the group chat remains for general communication. This segmentation prevents secret information from being exposed in the group chat environment while still allowing the chatbot to access it through the separate management channel.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a unit that receives, on a group chat, an execution command to execute specific processing that requires entry of secret information from a first user belonging to the group chat including two or more users; an acquisition unit that acquires the secret information from a second user belonging to the group chat without letting a third user belonging to the group chat and different from the second user know the secret information; and a controller that performs control so that the specific processing based on the execution command is executed by using the secret information.
