Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for filtering harmful information on user terminals fail to adapt security settings based on user attributes and do not effectively secure all terminal functions, such as telephone and GPS, beyond text information filtering.

Innovation Solution

A computer system connected to user terminals with a security statistics database that acquires user information and suggests appropriate security settings by extracting matching or similar settings from the database, providing customizable security configurations for each user based on their attributes and usage patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If automatic filtering of harmful information is implemented using collaborative filtering, then harmful content can be blocked, but the filtering criteria cannot be modified according to user attributes and the same filtering results are provided to all users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveharmful content blockingVSAvoidfiltering criteria adaptability to user attributes
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating user-specific filtering criteria based on individual user attributes (age, gender, location, etc.). Each user receives customized filtering rules that match their specific characteristics, rather than applying a uniform filtering standard to all users. This is achieved by storing multiple sets of filtering criteria in the database, each associated with different user attribute profiles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing multiple sets of filtering criteria in the database before actual content filtering occurs. These pre-prepared criteria sets are organized according to different user attributes, allowing the system to quickly retrieve and apply appropriate filtering rules without real-time computation, thus enabling both speed and personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If text information filtering is used to block harmful content, then internet information safety is improved, but effective security cannot be set for other terminal functions such as telephone, GPS, and paying functions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternet information safetyVSAvoidsecurity coverage across terminal functions
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the filtering mechanism from solely text-based internet content to a universal security system that covers multiple terminal functions including telephone, GPS, and payment functions. The same collaborative filtering framework is applied across different function types, allowing harmful activities to be blocked regardless of which terminal function is being used. The system stores filtering criteria that can be applied to various function categories.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If security settings are made customized for each user based on user attributes, then user-specific security needs are met, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized security settingsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses copying by storing multiple pre-defined sets of filtering criteria in the database, where each set represents a template for a particular user attribute profile. Instead of creating custom filters from scratch for each user, the system retrieves and applies appropriate pre-copied templates based on user attributes, significantly reducing system complexity while maintaining personalization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Provided are a computer system which suggests an appropriate security set to a user for user information and statistical information related to collected statistical security parameters, a security setting suggestion method, and a program. The computer system, which is arranged in communication connection to at least one user terminal (10) and which is provided with a security statistics database (250), acquires, from the user terminal (10), a suggestion request for a security set, and user information at least including an attribute, uses the suggestion request and the acquired user information to extract, from the security setting statistics database (250), a security set associated with user information which is identical to the acquired user information or similar to the acquired user information within a specific extent, and provides the user terminal (10) with at least one extracted security set as a suggested security set.
