Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for confidentially outputting delivery waybills in the online shopping market face challenges such as the risk of personal information leakage and inconvenience in accessing multiple online shopping malls for delivery providers, particularly due to the reliance on hub systems that are vulnerable to hacking.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize a confidential delivery waybill server system and agent system, where personal information of the consignee is processed and stored only by the seller, generating delivery waybill combination information without human information, which is then transmitted to a confidential delivery waybill agent system for secure output, preventing exposure to the server system and reducing the risk of leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If personal information is stored in a hub system for confidential delivery waybill output, then delivery providers can conveniently access and process delivery information, but the risk of personal information leakage increases due to potential hacking of the hub system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of delivery waybill outputVSAvoidsecurity of personal information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts personal information from the delivery waybill data that is stored and processed in the hub system. Only non-personal delivery information (such as delivery address, product information, and delivery status) is stored in the hub system, while personal information (such as customer name, contact details, and identification) is kept separate and not stored in the hub system. This extraction approach allows delivery providers to conveniently access and process delivery information while preventing personal information leakage since the personal data never enters the potentially vulnerable hub system environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If delivery providers individually access multiple online shopping malls to output delivery waybills, then personal information security is maintained, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity of personal informationVSAvoidconvenience of delivery waybill output
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the delivery waybill information into two distinct parts: personal information and non-personal delivery information. The non-personal delivery information (delivery address, product details, delivery status) is centralized in the hub system for convenient access by delivery providers across multiple online shopping malls. The personal information remains segmented and stored separately by each online shopping mall or in a secure customer database that delivery providers do not need to access. This segmentation allows delivery providers to efficiently retrieve delivery information from the hub system without needing to individually access multiple shopping mall systems, while personal information security is maintained through the segmentation that prevents exposure of sensitive data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If personal information is provided to a hub system for processing, then delivery waybill output can be consolidated, but the risk of mass personal information leakage increases if the hub system is hacked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of delivery waybill outputVSAvoidrisk of personal information leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the delivery information that excludes personal information and stores this copy in the hub system for consolidated processing. The hub system processes and generates delivery waybills based on this non-personal information copy, achieving high productivity and efficient consolidated delivery waybill output. The original personal information remains stored securely in separate systems (online shopping malls or customer databases) and is not copied to or stored in the hub system. This copying approach allows the hub system to perform consolidated delivery waybill processing with high efficiency while eliminating the risk of mass personal information leakage, since the personal data never enters the hub system environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

In a method of confidentially outputting a delivery waybill, a seller receives an order information including a customer's personal information and transmits the order information to a product provider after removing the personal information. The product provider generates a delivery information and transmits it with a delivery waybill print request to a confidential delivery waybill server. The confidential delivery waybill server generates a combined delivery waybill information by combining the delivery information and logistics information and transmits it with the delivery waybill print request to the confidential delivery waybill agent of the seller. The confidential delivery waybill agent generates a delivery waybill by combining the combined delivery waybill information and the personal information of the customer and transmits the delivery waybill to a printer of the product provider. Finally, the product provider prints the delivery waybill including the personal information of the customer on a document.
