Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data management systems in telecommunications networks fail to ensure secure, reliable distribution and storage of data associated with a subject, particularly voice and face profiles, while maintaining confidentiality and flexibility for adding new services.

Innovation Solution

A decentralized system architecture using a plurality of routers, network servers, and distributed memories, employing information dispersal algorithms and secret sharing techniques to subdivide, distribute, and store data securely, with real-time reconstruction capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is stored in a centralized manner in known systems, then data access and retrieval are simple, but security and confidentiality of the data are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the data associated with a subject into multiple portions and storing each portion in different distributed memories across the telecommunications network. This ensures that no single memory contains the complete data, thereby enhancing security and confidentiality while maintaining system functionality through distributed access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If data is subdivided and distributed across multiple memories, then security and confidentiality are improved, but data access and reconstruction complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata confidentialityVSAvoiddata access
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component that manages the subdivision, distribution, and reconstruction of data portions. This intermediary facilitates secure data access by coordinating the retrieval and reassembly of distributed data portions, thereby maintaining ease of operation despite the distributed storage architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a decentralized system architecture is implemented, then flexibility for adding new services is improved, but system complexity and coordination overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice flexibilityVSAvoidsystem coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal decentralized system architecture where distributed memories and network components can serve multiple functions and support various services. This multi-functional design allows new services to be added flexibly without requiring dedicated infrastructure, thereby reducing coordination overhead while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
