Solution Overview

Problem

Companies face difficulties in integrating customer data across different systems while ensuring privacy protection, as existing methods may leak sensitive information during the integration process.

Innovation Solution

A privacy data integration method using generative models to create synthetic data from first and second privacy data, which are integrated using algorithms like database join, record linkage, or statistical match, ensuring privacy protection by maintaining similar joint probability distributions without directly transmitting the original data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If direct data integration methods are used to integrate customer data from different companies, then data integration capability is improved, but privacy security deteriorates due to potential leakage of sensitive information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integration capabilityVSAvoidprivacy leakage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates synthetic copies of original privacy data through generative models. These synthetic data copies preserve the statistical characteristics and joint probability distributions of the original data while containing no actual sensitive information. The synthetic data can be freely shared and integrated without privacy concerns, as it is merely a statistical replica rather than the real data itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces synthetic data as an intermediary between the original privacy data and the data integration process. Instead of directly integrating sensitive original data, the system first transforms it into synthetic data through generative models, then performs integration operations on these intermediaries. This intermediary layer enables data sharing while maintaining privacy protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional data integration algorithms are used to combine data from different sources, then integration efficiency is improved, but data quality and privacy protection deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration efficiencyVSAvoidprivacy protection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary transformation of original privacy data into synthetic data before the actual integration process. By pre-processing the data through generative models to create privacy-preserving synthetic versions, the system enables subsequent efficient integration operations without compromising privacy. This preliminary action separates the privacy protection concern from the integration efficiency requirement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If original privacy data is directly shared between companies for integration, then data accuracy is improved, but privacy security worsens due to exposure of sensitive information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidinformation exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the data representation parameters through generative models. The synthetic data preserves the statistical parameters and joint probability distributions that define data accuracy, while changing the actual data values to synthetic representations. This parameter transformation maintains the analytical value and accuracy characteristics needed for integration while eliminating the exposure of actual sensitive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
