Electronic Wallet Content Sharing via Service Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing electronic wallet systems lack the ability to share content, such as payment-related card information and coupons, with social networks (SNS) without compromising personal information, leading to inconvenience and risks of data leakage.
Innovation Solution
A terminal and service providing device system that shares content without personal information by storing it in the service providing device, allowing users to link this content to their SNS accounts, enabling secure sharing and separate management of personal and non-personal content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content including personal information is directly shared with SNS, then content sharing convenience is improved, but personal information leakage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts personal information from the content that is to be shared. Instead of sharing the complete content including personal information, the system extracts only the necessary content elements and replaces personal information with placeholders or anonymized versions, thereby maintaining sharing functionality while eliminating the harmful leakage risk
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a service providing device as an intermediary between the terminal and SNS. This intermediary handles the content sharing process by receiving content from the terminal, removing or anonymizing personal information, and then sharing the processed content with SNS, thus mediating the interaction to prevent direct exposure of personal information
2Adaptability or versatility
If content including personal information is stored and shared, then content availability is improved, but data security risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content into two distinct types: content that can be freely shared and content including personal information that requires special handling. This segmentation allows the system to maintain content availability for sharing while applying enhanced security measures to content with personal information, thereby improving data security without sacrificing accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different quality characteristics to different parts of the content. Content elements that do not include personal information maintain their full accessibility and shareability, while content elements containing personal information are processed differently through anonymization or placeholder replacement, ensuring security where needed while preserving availability elsewhere
3Loss of information
If personal information is included in shared content, then content completeness is improved, but information protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the content for sharing purposes, but this copy has modified personal information elements. Instead of sharing the original content with complete personal information, the system generates a modified copy where personal information is replaced with placeholders or anonymized versions, thereby maintaining content completeness for sharing while protecting information security
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are a terminal and a service providing device, an electronic wallet system including the same, a control method thereof, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program recorded thereon. That is, according to the present invention, instead of directly sharing a content including personal information displayed in a specific app, such as an electronic wallet app, installed in the terminal with an SNS or the like, the same content, which does not include personal information and is previously stored in the service providing device so as to correspond to the content, is shared through an SNS corresponding to the terminal, so that it is possible to improve convenience of a user and enhance availability of contents.
