Message Transmission Delay System Using Alert-Based Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic messaging services lack an effective solution to prevent accidental transmission of messages to unintended or inappropriate recipients, particularly in real-time messaging scenarios where users often switch between conversations.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses machine learning and social network structure analysis to delay message transmission, generating alerts for users based on the likelihood of the message being sensitive or inappropriate for the recipient, allowing users to review and confirm before sending, and discarding messages if no feedback is received within a predetermined time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If message transmission is delayed to allow alert generation and user confirmation, then data security is improved by preventing accidental transmission to wrong recipients, but transmission speed and user efficiency deteriorate due to the additional time required for analysis and confirmation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the message content and recipient appropriateness before transmission is initiated. By detecting potential issues with the message-recipient pairing in advance and generating alerts beforehand, the system prevents accidental transmissions while maintaining a streamlined user experience for legitimate messages.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a feedback mechanism where users receive alerts about potential issues with their message transmissions and can confirm or cancel based on this feedback. This closed-loop approach allows users to correct mistakes while enabling quick transmission when no issues are detected, balancing security with speed.
2Reliability
If alerts are generated for all messages to ensure security review, then data protection is improved, but device complexity and processing overhead worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of scrutiny and alert generation based on parameters such as message content sensitivity, recipient relationship, and communication context. By changing these parameters, the system intensifies protection for high-risk messages while reducing overhead for low-risk communications, optimizing the balance between security and complexity.

AI summary
Techniques for delaying the transmission of a message to one or more recipients using an alert in order to provide data protection and security with respect to data included in the message are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: receiving a request to transmit a message from a computing device of a user to a recipient, the request comprising content of the message; detecting an issue with the request using at least one classifier to classify the request as having the issue; generating an alert based on the detecting of the issue; and prior to transmitting the message to a destination associated with the recipient, causing the generated alert to be displayed on the computing device of the user, the alert indicating the issue with the message.
