Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for determining a user's security knowledge level offline are inefficient and costly, making it difficult to effectively assess and improve security awareness in the face of emerging online risks.

Innovation Solution

An online security knowledge level test method and apparatus that associate with security regulatory authorities, pre-configuring test questions based on user features to assess and improve security knowledge through a knowledge test platform, allowing for efficient and adaptive testing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If offline security knowledge level determination methods are used, then security knowledge assessment can be conducted, but the efficiency is low and labor costs are high

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveefficiency of determining security knowledge levelVSAvoidtime consumption for offline testing

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual offline testing mechanism with an automated online testing system. The knowledge test platform automatically distributes questions, collects answers, and determines security knowledge levels without requiring physical presence or manual intervention, thereby dramatically improving efficiency and reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to self-complete security knowledge assessments online at their convenience. Users receive test questions through the platform, submit their answers independently, and obtain their security knowledge level results automatically, eliminating the need for organizers to manually conduct tests and reducing overall time requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If offline security knowledge testing is conducted, then security awareness can be assessed, but labor costs and organizational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of security knowledge assessmentVSAvoidcomplexity of testing organization

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge test platform serves multiple functions within a single system: it stores security knowledge questions, distributes tests to users, collects answers, evaluates responses, and generates security knowledge level determinations. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate organizational processes and reduces overall system complexity while maintaining assessment accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The knowledge test platform acts as an intermediary between security regulatory authorities and users. It automatically manages the entire testing process, including question distribution, answer collection, and result determination, thereby simplifying organizational complexity while ensuring accurate and standardized security knowledge assessments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If traditional offline questioning methods are used, then security knowledge can be evaluated, but the process is time-consuming and less efficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidity of security knowledge test resultsVSAvoidtesting throughput

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures security knowledge question banks and testing parameters before actual assessments begin. This preliminary preparation allows the platform to rapidly deploy and administer multiple tests simultaneously, maintaining result validity while significantly increasing testing throughput and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Implementations of the present specification disclose methods, apparatuses, and devices for performing security knowledge level tests. In one aspect, the method includes: receiving a security knowledge test request; determining a target security regulatory authority to perform a security knowledge level test for the target user; obtaining a target security knowledge test requirement information set that corresponds to the target security regulatory authority, wherein the target security knowledge test requirement information set comprises a mapping relationship between user features and security knowledge test questions; determining corresponding test questions based on the one or more target features of the target user; providing the corresponding test questions for presentation on a client device to the target user; and determining a security knowledge level test result from inputs to the client device by the target user in response to viewing the corresponding test questions.
