Natural Language Translation Security via Segmented Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing language translation systems lack adequate privacy measures, particularly when handling sensitive or confidential information, as human translators may be exposed to personal and confidential data during the translation process.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that divide information into secure portions based on predefined rules, sending each portion to different translation systems geographically dispersed to prevent human translators from accessing the entire context, thereby enhancing confidentiality and privacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the entire information is sent to a single translation system, then translation efficiency is improved, but data security and privacy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information into multiple portions and sends each portion to different translation systems. This segmentation prevents any single translation system from accessing the complete information, thereby maintaining data security while still achieving translation through distributed processing of the divided portions.
2Reliability
If information is divided into portions and sent to multiple translation systems, then data security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a coordinator system that acts as an intermediary to manage the division of information into portions, their distribution to multiple translation systems, and the recombination of translation results. This centralized coordination simplifies the overall system architecture by providing a single point of control for the complex multi-system translation process.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, computer system, and computer program product for translating information. The computer system receives the information for a translation. The computer system identifies portions of the information based on a set of rules for security for the information in response to receiving the information. The computer system sends the portions of the information to a plurality of translation systems. In response to receiving translation results from the plurality of translation systems for respective portions of the information, the computer system combines the translation results for the respective portions to form a consolidated translation of the information.
