Offline Interactive NLP Processing System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cloud-based natural language processing (NLP) tools raise security concerns for processing sensitive documents, as they involve storing documents in the cloud, which may lead to risks of public disclosure or access by third parties.
Innovation Solution
The system provides offline, interactive NLP results using cloud-based NLP tools, where documents are processed in volatile memory without being stored, and results are transmitted to the user for interactive processing, ensuring that all document information is discarded immediately after processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If cloud-based NLP tools are used to process documents, then processing performance and convenience are improved, but security risks and data exposure concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary NLP processing functionality from the cloud service while leaving the actual document storage and access to the user's local system. The cloud service processes documents temporarily and discards them, extracting only the analytical results while maintaining security through limited cloud access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the cloud-based NLP service acts as a temporary processor rather than a permanent storage destination. Documents are transmitted to the cloud solely for processing, and the service automatically discards them after generating results, preventing direct storage while maintaining processing benefits.
2Ease of operation
If documents are stored in cloud-based NLP tools, then processing convenience is improved, but data exposure and third-party access risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic document handling approach where the cloud service's access to documents is temporary and changing. Documents are uploaded for processing, analyzed, and then automatically removed from the cloud system. This dynamic lifecycle ensures convenience during processing while eliminating long-term storage risks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the discarding principle by having the cloud-based NLP service automatically delete documents after processing is complete. The service recovers only the necessary NLP results and analytical data while discarding the original documents, maintaining security by ensuring sensitive information is not retained in the cloud.
Data Source
AI summary
Interactive natural language processing (NLP) results may be generated that allow a user to interact with the NLP results but do so in an offline manner so that the documents being processed need not be stored online. To provide interactive NLP results, event handlers may be attached to elements of the NLP results. A user may then select a word or phrase of the NLP results to cause computer software provided with the NLP to present the interactive features. For example, a user may click on a definite noun phrase to view information for diagnosing antecedent basis errors. For another example, a user may click on a word to view information about how that word is used in a document, such as viewing portions of the document that include the word or variants of the word.
