Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional methods of secure data transfer between devices lengthen interactions due to the need for additional security checks, which can slow down the process and compromise efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates a database of verified interaction providers, installs a proxy server to monitor and route data transfer traffic, and automatically completes data transfers if the provider is verified, enhancing security and speed while maintaining user confidence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional security checks are performed during data transfer interactions, then security is improved, but interaction speed deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidinteraction speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs security verification in advance by creating a database of verified interaction providers before actual data transfers occur. When a provider is verified and added to the database, subsequent data transfers with that provider can proceed without repeating the full security check process, thus maintaining security while improving interaction speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a proxy server as an intermediary component that manages security credentials and verification status. The proxy server acts as a mediator between the data transfer system and verified providers, storing verification information and enabling rapid authentication without requiring repeated security checks for each interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If additional security checks are implemented, then security is improved, but interaction complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidinteraction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complex security verification process from the actual data transfer interaction. By separating the verification step (performed in advance) from the transfer step (executed routinely), the system reduces the complexity of ongoing interactions while maintaining robust security through the preliminary verification database.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service security verification by automatically checking the database of verified providers during data transfers. Once a provider is verified and stored in the database, the system autonomously recognizes and trusts future interactions with that provider without requiring manual security checks or user intervention, thereby reducing interaction complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system for secure data transfer is provided. The system is configured to: generate a database of verified interaction providers comprising verified provider information; determine that a user device has accessed a data transfer location associated with an interaction provider; install a proxy server over the data transfer location, wherein data transfer traffic between the user device and the interaction provider is routed through and monitored by the proxy server; determine, via the proxy server, that the user device has requested an interaction at the data transfer location, the interaction comprising a data transfer; determine that the interaction provider associated with the data transfer location is in the database of verified interaction providers; and in response to determining that the interaction provider is in the database, complete the data transfer through the proxy server.
