Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional methods are used to identify PII, then implementation is simpler, but identification speed and accuracy are insufficient for real-time protection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of data attributes using machine learning models before actual PII processing occurs. Event-based data is pre-analyzed to identify potential PII attributes, allowing the system to prepare classification results in advance for real-time protection operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A machine learning-based classification service acts as an intermediary layer between raw event-based data and the PII protection system. This intermediary service processes data attributes through trained models to determine PII status, enabling fast and accurate identification without requiring complex logic in the core protection system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data analysis is performed to ensure accurate PII identification, then identification accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs comprehensive data analysis in advance by training machine learning models on historical event-based data to learn patterns of PII attributes. Once trained, the models can quickly classify new data with high accuracy without requiring time-consuming analysis for each individual data point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the state of data from raw event-based format to classified attributes with determined PII status. By transforming data parameters through machine learning classification, the system achieves both accurate identification and efficient processing, as the classification results can be quickly retrieved and applied.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs computationally intensive model training and data pattern learning in advance, before real-time protection operations. The pre-trained machine learning models can then quickly classify incoming event-based data with minimal computational resources, enabling real-time responsiveness without excessive resource consumption during operational phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method comprises receiving event-based data, extracting one or more attributes from the event-based data, and analyzing the one or more attributes to classify whether the one or more attributes comprise personally identifiable information. The analyzing is performed using one or more machine learning models. The event-based data corresponds to one or more events where the one or more attributes are added to at least one of a database and an application.
