Search Client Forged Request Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Search engine servers can still analyze user behavior and interests even when privacy mode is enabled, leading to potential privacy leaks, as they record and analyze search words entered by users.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for sending a search request that generates a forged search request with a forged search word, sent close to the true search request to interfere with analysis, using a time interval determined by a Poisson procedure, and deleting search results to prevent user behavior analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the search engine client sends the true search request to the search engine server, then the user can obtain search results, but the search engine server can analyze the user behavior and interests based on the search word
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the search request into two parts: a forged search request sent first to interfere with behavior analysis, and a true search request sent afterward to obtain actual search results. This segmentation allows the system to simultaneously protect privacy while maintaining search functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The forged search request acts as an intermediary that interferes with the search engine server's behavior analysis process. By introducing this intermediate element, the patent prevents the server from accurately analyzing user behavior while still allowing the true search request to function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the search engine server records and analyzes search words to provide personalized services, then user experience can be improved, but user privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by sending a forged search request before the true search request. This preliminary action interferes with the search engine server's ability to record and analyze the user's true behavior patterns, thereby preventing privacy leakage while allowing personalized services to continue based on other data.
3Loss of information
If the user sets privacy mode to prevent behavior analysis, then privacy is protected, but the search engine server can still analyze behavior based on carried search words
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by generating and sending a forged search request in advance, before the true search request is sent. This preliminary forged request confuses the search engine server's behavior analysis system, making the privacy mode truly effective while maintaining search functionality.

AI summary
Sending a search request includes: during a running procedure of a search engine client, generating a forged search request, where the forged search request carries a forged search word; and sending the forged search request to the search engine server. The forged search request is sent to the search engine server, to serve as a factor interfering with an analysis of a user behavior by the search engine server based on a true search request, to prevent the search engine server from analyzing the user behavior based on a search word entered by a user, thereby improving user experience.
