Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication devices can only hide and encrypt a single set of telephone numbers, requiring repetitive operations for multiple individuals, and fail to protect other important data types, making data protection inefficient and cumbersome.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for hiding and encrypting multiple data types by categorizing data into groups, using an encryption module to establish a mechanism for hiding and decrypting with a secret code, allowing users to protect various data types such as communication book entries, schedules, and messages within a wireless communication device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If only single set of data is hidden at a time, then encryption security is maintained, but operation efficiency deteriorates requiring repetitive operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata hiding efficiencyVSAvoidhiding operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data sets into a single data group that can be hidden together. Instead of hiding each contact or message individually, the system allows users to select multiple data items and hide them as one group using a single encryption operation, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The hiding mechanism is designed to be universal across different data types. The same encryption and hiding procedure can be applied to various data categories (contacts, messages, schedules), eliminating the need for separate procedures for each data type and simplifying user operations.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If only communication book data is hidden, then specific data protection is achieved, but data protection versatility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata type coverageVSAvoiddata protection completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal hiding mechanism that works across multiple data types including communication book entries, messages, schedules, and notes. The same encryption and hiding procedures apply uniformly to all these data categories, ensuring comprehensive protection without requiring separate mechanisms for each data type.

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

3Reliability

If repetitive hiding operations are performed for multiple individuals, then each data set is protected, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata protection coverageVSAvoidhiding operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines multiple individual data hiding operations into a single group hiding operation. Users can select multiple contacts or data items and hide them simultaneously in one operation, reducing the time required from multiple separate operations to a single unified operation while ensuring all selected data remains protected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A system is provided for hiding a data group in a wireless communication device, in which a predetermined data group is hidden according to a hiding request. The system for hiding a data group comprises an encryption module for receiving the hiding request and the predetermined groups in a memory in the wireless communication device and an access module. Next, the encryption module establishes mechanism for hiding a data group to hide the predetermined data group. The access module performs the mechanism for hiding a data group and decrypts a secret code encrypted by the encryption module when data in the predetermined data group is to be read.
