Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in securely collecting and managing customer information from diverse data centers with different APIs, which can lead to information mismatch and leakage, especially when data centers are located in various countries, making it difficult to ensure consistency and secrecy.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a conversion unit that acquires and converts data from multiple sources, generating conversion data, and an identification unit that performs identification on the converted data, ensuring security by using unique counter values for encryption, allowing secure data transmission and analysis without revealing original information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual secretion of specific information is performed to ensure security, then security is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase enormously
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic secretion of specific information without manual intervention. The secretion process is executed automatically by the information processing apparatus, which collects information from multiple data centers, performs necessary conversions, secretes specific information automatically, and transmits the processed data. This eliminates the need for manual secretion operations while maintaining security requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary conversion and secretion processing before data transmission. By pre-converting information from different APIs into a unified format and pre-secreting specific information before transmission, the system avoids the need for manual intervention during data collection and processing, thereby reducing operation complexity while ensuring security.
2Quantity of substance
If information is collected from multiple data centers with different APIs, then data coverage is improved, but information consistency deteriorates due to API mismatches
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal conversion process that can handle multiple different APIs from various data centers. The information processing apparatus is designed to automatically detect and convert information from different API formats into a unified standard format, enabling the system to collect data from diverse sources while maintaining consistency. This universal conversion capability allows the system to process information from multiple data centers without being constrained by API differences.
3Reliability
If conversion processing is performed on collected information, then data secrecy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs conversion and secretion processing continuously and automatically as data is collected. Rather than performing batch processing or manual conversion, the information processing apparatus continuously converts and secretes information in real-time during the data collection process. This continuous automated processing reduces the overall processing time while maintaining data secrecy requirements.
Data Source
AI summary
A conversion unit acquires collected information from a plurality of customer servers and performs a plurality of conversions different with respect to each of the customer server on the acquired collected information to generate conversion data. An identification unit performs identification on information contained in each set of collected information in a state where, with respect to the conversion data generated by the conversion unit, information before the conversion performed by the conversion unit is secreted.
