Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional portable information terminals lack sufficient security measures and have complex operations, making them user-unfriendly.

Innovation Solution

The system includes an input unit, extracting and classifying words with different conversion methods based on confidentiality levels, and a control unit that manages display and security based on location and time information, along with voiceprint analysis for user authentication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional portable information terminals are used for voice recognition and information processing, then basic communication functions are provided, but security is insufficient and operations are complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiduser-friendliness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments information processing into multiple conversion methods based on confidentiality levels. Words are classified into different categories (first words with high confidentiality, second words with lower confidentiality) and processed differently. This segmentation allows secure handling of sensitive information while maintaining ease of operation for non-sensitive content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different conversion methods to different portions of information based on their confidentiality characteristics. High-confidentiality words are converted using methods that protect security, while low-confidentiality words are handled with simpler methods. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by providing appropriate security measures only where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If multiple conversion methods are applied to different words based on confidentiality levels, then security is enhanced, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary classification of words into different confidentiality categories before conversion. By pre-identifying which words require high-security processing and which can use standard processing, the system avoids the complexity of real-time decision-making during conversion, thus enhancing security without proportionally increasing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the processing parameters (conversion methods) based on the confidentiality level parameter of each word. This parameter-based approach allows the system to automatically select appropriate security measures without requiring complex manual configuration or analysis, resolving the contradiction between security enhancement and processing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If voiceprint analysis and location-based display control are implemented, then user authentication security is improved, but system complexity and operation time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automatic voiceprint analysis and location-based display control without requiring manual user intervention. The system autonomously authenticates users through voiceprint recognition and automatically adjusts display content based on location information, thereby improving security while minimizing the time users need to spend on authentication procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

To take security into account and increase user friendliness, an information processing device includes: an input unit to which information is input; an extracting unit extracting predetermined words from the information input to the input unit; a classifying unit classifying the words extracted by the extracting unit into first words and second words; and a converting unit converting the first words by a first conversion method and converting the second words by a second conversion method, the second conversion method being different from the first conversion method.
