Solution Overview

Problem

The widespread availability of communication methods and the permanence of online messages create risks where users may inadvertently transmit inappropriate content, which can be exploited by hackers, leading to harmful consequences.

Innovation Solution

A message guardian system that processes data before transmission to identify inappropriate terms, phrases, or objects in messages, sending notifications to users and offering alternative communication methods, such as direct calls, to prevent harmful content from being shared.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If security measures around data servers are increased to protect communication trails, then hacker intrusion becomes more difficult, but hackers can still break into servers in time and the fundamental risk remains

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveserver securityVSAvoidhacker intrusion risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of messages before they are transmitted and stored on servers. By detecting inappropriate content in advance and notifying users before transmission, the system prevents harmful data from ever reaching the server, making server security less critical since the data is already cleaned beforehand

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If users are marketed to be careful with communication, then user awareness increases, but this does not provide technical prevention and users may still inadvertently transmit harmful content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser awarenessVSAvoidcommunication safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides immediate feedback to users by analyzing their composed messages and notifying them of inappropriate content before transmission. This automated feedback loop supplements user awareness with technical detection, reliably preventing harmful content from being sent without relying solely on user judgment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Object-affected harmful factors

If message analysis and notification systems are implemented, then harmful content transmission is prevented, but processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveharmful content transmissionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the message content from the communication process for analysis, separating this detection function from the main messaging system. By focusing analysis only on the text content rather than entire communication sessions, the system achieves effective harmful content prevention with minimal added complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An apparatus, process, and computer program to prevent inappropriate messages originated from a client device is provided. A validation message that includes a message composed by a user may be received from a client device. A determination is made as to whether the composed message comprises data that matches with one or more inappropriate terms, phrases, and/or objects. A notification is sent to the client device when the composed message comprises data that matches with one or more inappropriate terms, phrases, and/or objects.
