Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to effectively neutralize personal information leaks resulting from digital hacking by malware, which can lead to data breaches and compromise user privacy.

Innovation Solution

A personal information protection method and apparatus that uses generative AI to create fake data, which is continuously transmitted to an attacking server, disrupting data collection and preventing the identification of actual victim data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional security technologies are used to address personal information leaks, then some protection is provided, but they fail to effectively neutralize the leaks and prevent attacker identification of victim data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of personal information protectionVSAvoidpersonal information leaks from malware
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful data collection activity of malware into a beneficial protective mechanism by having the victim's device continuously send fake data to the attacking server. This disrupts the server's data collection and prevents the attacker from identifying actual victim data, thereby neutralizing the harmful effect of the malware while utilizing its existing communication channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates fake data that copies the format and structure of actual personal information (including contacts, names, email addresses, and images) to deceive the attacking server. By generating synthetic data that mimics real data patterns, the system prevents the server from distinguishing between actual victim data and fabricated data, thus protecting personal information from effective analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If fake data is continuously transmitted to the attacking server, then data collection is disrupted and victim identification is prevented, but the system complexity increases due to rooting requirements and dedicated application installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against data identificationVSAvoidsystem modification requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by rooting the victim's device and installing a dedicated application before the actual data protection operation begins. These preparatory steps establish the necessary administrator privileges and communication channels, enabling the continuous transmission of fake data to the attacking server without requiring complex real-time system modifications during the protection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If generative AI is used to create fake data, then the data does not follow specific patterns and content similarity is reduced, but the computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunpredictability of fake dataVSAvoidcomputational resources for data generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous generation and transmission of fake data to the attacking server, ensuring that the protective action is ongoing rather than intermittent. This continuous operation maintains the unpredictability of the fake data patterns while distributing the computational load over time, preventing any single moment of high resource consumption from becoming a bottleneck.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A personal information protection method includes a first step comprising rooting a victim's device where digital hacking has occurred to obtain administrator privileges, and installing a dedicated application software on the victim's device; a second step comprising analyzing the packet information of the malware installed on the victim's device to extract information about the attacking server; a third step comprising analyzing the actual data stored on the victim's device to continuously generate fake data (such as contacts, names, email addresses, and various images) in the same or similar format as the actual data and storing the fake data on the victim's device; a fourth step comprising ensuring that the fake data is continuously transmitted from the victim's device to the attacking server, thereby preventing the attacking server from identifying the victim's personal information.
