Electronic Message Redacting for Community-Specific Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic messaging systems struggle to ensure that posted messages are relevant and accessible to diverse target audiences, as authors often lack knowledge of community-specific interests and requirements, leading to irrelevant or restricted content being disseminated.
Innovation Solution
A method that uses separate electronic lexicons for each community, interpreting and redacting messages to tailor content based on community-specific keywords, relevance scores, and access controls, ensuring messages are appropriate and accessible to each audience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the author posts the electronic message to reach the widest possible target audience, then the dissemination scope is improved, but the relevance and appropriateness of content to specific communities deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the message content into multiple versions tailored for different communities. The message interpretation module identifies community-specific content requirements and generates customized versions of the message for each target community, ensuring each receives content appropriate to their interests and access privileges.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by customizing message content according to specific community characteristics. Each community receives a version of the message with content, format, and detail level optimized for that particular audience's preferences, knowledge level, and access rights.
2Quantity of substance
If the author includes all possible content to satisfy diverse community needs, then the content completeness is improved, but the message complexity and difficulty of composition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining community profiles with their specific content requirements, interests, and access privileges. When a message is posted, the system automatically matches content against these pre-established profiles and retrieves or generates the appropriate version for each community, eliminating the need for manual customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The message interpretation module enables self-service by automatically analyzing the message content, identifying relevant portions for each community, and generating customized versions without author intervention. The system autonomously handles content adaptation based on community characteristics.
3Manufacturing precision
If the author restricts content to meet specific community requirements, then the content appropriateness is improved, but the dissemination scope deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies universality by creating a single message posting mechanism that serves multiple communities simultaneously. The message interpretation module processes the content and distributes appropriate versions to multiple target communities, allowing one message to achieve broad dissemination while maintaining appropriateness for each specific audience.
4Manufacturing precision
If the system redacts content for unsuitable communities, then the content appropriateness is improved, but the information loss deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies the extraction principle by selectively removing only the portions of content that are inappropriate for specific communities, rather than redacting entire messages. The message interpretation module identifies and extracts only the relevant content portions for each community, preserving maximum information while ensuring appropriateness.

AI summary
A mechanism is provided for controlling the content of an electronic message on an electronic messaging system including a plurality of communities that facilitates the tailoring of the content of a posted electronic message to the interests and/or access privileges of such communities. An electronic lexicon is provided for each community, the lexicon defining content relevant to the community. The electronic message is interpreted for disclosure to a particular community to identify content in the message relating to content in the electronic lexicon of the particular community. The electronic message is redacted based on the identified related content if the electronic message contains content in a form unsuitable for the disclosure.
