Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional spam call blocking systems face limitations in identifying new or pattern-changing spam calls, relying on user reports and content analysis, which can lead to delayed recognition and bypassing of spam calls.

Innovation Solution

A spam blocking method using call log analysis that trains a spam determination module with Gaussian Naive Bayes AI logic to analyze call patterns of both the originator and recipient, determining spam calls based on propensity and re-training based on user interactions, providing originator information and calculating a spam index for blocking decisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user report-based spam blocking is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but spam identification accuracy deteriorates for new or pattern-changing spam calls

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespam identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-learning by automatically analyzing call logs and call patterns to train the spam determination module without requiring manual user input for each spam case. The system serves itself by collecting call data, extracting features, and updating its classification model autonomously based on observed patterns and user feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user responses to calls (answering, rejecting, or ignoring) are recorded and used to re-train the spam determination module. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from actual user behavior and improve its accuracy over time, adapting to evolving spam patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If content analysis of call logs is performed, then spam detection capability is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespam detection capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-extracting and storing call pattern features during normal operation. Features such as call frequency, timing patterns, and recipient distribution are collected and stored in advance, allowing the spam determination module to quickly query and analyze this pre-processed data during actual spam detection without performing complex analysis in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by transforming raw call log data into extracted call pattern features (such as average call duration, call frequency per hour, time of day patterns). This parameter transformation converts complex raw data into simplified feature representations that can be quickly processed by the spam determination module using classification algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If call pattern analysis is performed for every call, then spam identification accuracy is improved, but system response speed deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespam identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem response speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the call analysis process into distinct components: call log collection, feature extraction, pattern matching, and spam determination. Each segment operates independently and processes specific portions of the data, allowing the system to maintain high accuracy through comprehensive analysis while improving response speed by avoiding the need to perform all analysis steps sequentially for every incoming call.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
