Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack effective methods to monitor compliance with privacy policies and laws, allowing individuals to potentially provide incomplete or incorrect information to avoid audits, leading to a heightened risk of data breaches.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented data processing method that actively monitors user inputs during privacy campaign data entry, compares pre-submission and post-submission keyboard entries to detect abnormalities, and flags suspicious behavior, ensuring accurate data recording and compliance monitoring.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional passive data collection methods are used, then system complexity is low, but data accuracy and compliance monitoring effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata entry accuracyVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing keyboard entries before submission occurs. The monitoring system records keystrokes as they are typed, allowing analysis and validation to happen before the data is formally submitted, enabling prevention of inaccurate data entry rather than just detection after the fact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by comparing captured keyboard entries against expected formats, patterns, and compliance requirements. When anomalies or inaccuracies are detected, the system can provide immediate feedback to the user or automatically correct the data, ensuring higher accuracy before submission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If comprehensive monitoring of all user inputs is implemented, then compliance detection capability improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance monitoring reliabilityVSAvoiddata entry time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial monitoring by focusing on capturing and analyzing only the essential elements of user inputs that are relevant to compliance verification. Rather than analyzing every single character or metadata element, the system targets specific fields, data types, and patterns that are most critical for detecting non-compliant or inaccurate submissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring system implements asynchronous processing where compliant data can be quickly validated and submitted without delay. The system skips detailed analysis for obviously compliant entries while applying more rigorous scrutiny only to suspicious or borderline cases, thereby maintaining fast processing for the majority of legitimate submissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If real-time analysis of keyboard entries is performed, then detection of abnormal inputs improves, but system processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormal input detectionVSAvoidprocessor energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality analysis by focusing computational resources on specific portions of the input data that are most likely to contain anomalies. Different analysis techniques are applied to different data fields based on their risk profiles, with more intensive scrutiny applied to sensitive or high-value data elements and lighter processing for routine information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring system dynamically adjusts its analysis parameters based on the context, data type, and risk level. Processing intensity, validation rules, and scrutiny levels are changed according to the specific input being analyzed, allowing the system to maintain high detection capability while optimizing resource consumption by not applying maximum processing to every single input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
