Prism Code Symbolic Encoding for Secure Messaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication methods, such as Morse code and standard email clients, transmit messages unchanged, whereas Prism Code converts alphanumeric messages into symbols, colors, and sounds, requiring recipients to decode them, offering a unique encoding and decoding experience.
Innovation Solution
Prism Code replaces alphanumeric characters with distinct color and shape symbols, allowing users to communicate using a list of symbols that can be decoded back into original messages, applicable in computer programs and games across various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If alphanumeric messages are transmitted unchanged (standard email, Morse code), then communication simplicity is maintained, but security and engagement are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a symbolic copy of the original message rather than transmitting the message itself. Each alphanumeric character is replaced with a corresponding symbol from a predefined codebook, creating a visual representation that conveys the same information while enhancing security and engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the parameter of message representation from standard alphanumeric characters to custom symbols with distinct visual properties (colors, shapes). This parameter change maintains the informational content while improving security and user engagement through a more complex encoding system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If alphanumeric characters are replaced with symbols (Prism Code), then security and engagement are enhanced, but decoding complexity increases for recipients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides the complete symbol codebook to recipients in advance, enabling them to decode messages without requiring complex real-time computation or external resources. The preliminary provision of decoding information simplifies the recipient's task while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The symbol codebook acts as an intermediary between the sender and recipient, providing a shared reference system that enables secure communication without requiring direct complex interaction. Both parties use the same intermediary codebook to encode and decode messages.
3Productivity
If a comprehensive symbol codebook is provided for all characters, then complete message translation is enabled, but the size and complexity of the codebook increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the codebook into distinct sections for different character types (letters, numbers, punctuation, special characters). This segmentation organizes the large quantity of symbols into manageable groups, making the codebook easier to navigate and use efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
Different sections of the codebook are optimized for different character types with appropriate symbol properties. Each segment provides locally appropriate symbols and visual characteristics suited to its specific character category, improving overall translation efficiency.

AI summary
Coding and decoding words formed of alphanumeric characters, in which a listing of symbols are provided, each symbol being associated with a different alphanumeric character, converted and transmitted to another who has the listing of symbols, (the symbols may be different colors icons, or sounds), each associated with a different alphanumeric character.
