Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia data processing technologies lack effective security measures to prevent data theft, allowing users to easily capture source files using data packet capturing or third-party software, resulting in poor data security.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia data processing method and system that generates a single-use verification parameter valid for a specific period, which is used to create a playing address for multimedia data, ensuring that even if the playing address is captured, the source file cannot be obtained, thereby enhancing data security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a traditional media player using audio tag is used to play multimedia data, then the ease of operation is improved, but the data security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating a verification parameter and a playing address before the actual data transfer. The verification parameter is created in advance and embedded in the playing address, ensuring that security checks are already in place before the multimedia data is accessed or captured by third-party software.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The playing address acts as an intermediary between the user request and the actual multimedia data. Instead of directly providing access to the source file, the system generates a playing address that contains the verification parameter, which must be validated before the data can be played. This intermediary layer prevents direct access and capture of the source file.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the source file is directly accessible through network address, then the productivity is improved, but the loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the access process into multiple components: the verification parameter, the playing address, and the actual multimedia data. Instead of providing direct access to the source file, the system breaks down the access path into these segments, where the verification parameter and playing address must be validated before the data can be accessed, preventing direct capture of the source file.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The playing address serves as an intermediary that contains the verification parameter. This intermediary structure prevents direct access to the source file while still enabling legitimate playback through the validated playing address, thus maintaining productivity while preventing data theft.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
