Smart Space Rating Server for Security Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
End users in public smart spaces are unaware of the security level and often do not use appropriate security settings, leading to security incidents such as malware delivery and unlawful personal data collection.
Innovation Solution
A smart space rating server system that receives security information from user devices, calculates a security rating for smart spaces, and transmits this rating back to the devices, allowing users to determine the trustworthiness of the spaces before joining them.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users join public smart spaces without security awareness, then ease of operation is improved, but security reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary security assessment by collecting security information from multiple user devices before a user joins a smart space. The server calculates a security rating in advance and provides it to users, allowing them to make informed decisions about joining spaces with adequate security measures.
2Measurement precision
If security information is collected from multiple user devices, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the security assessment function into separate components: user devices collect security information locally, the server aggregates and processes this information, and individual security ratings are generated for different smart spaces. This segmentation allows multiple devices to contribute to improved measurement precision while distributing the computational complexity across the network.

AI summary
A method, apparatus, and system for a smart space rating service (106) are provided. A method includes receiving, from a user device (104a, 104b), a request for a security rating of a smart space (102), calculating the security rating of the smart space (102) based at least in part on security information regarding the smart space (102), the security information received from a plurality of user devices (104a, 104b), and transmitting the security rating of the smart space (102) to the user device (104a, 104b).
