Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional methods for filling out forms, especially those containing private information, lack adequate security, as they are vulnerable to theft or exposure through physical observation or digital interception in both paper and electronic formats.

Innovation Solution

The system utilizes extended reality (XR) technology to differentiate between private and non-private information fields, allowing users to input private data within a secure XR environment while non-private data is entered traditionally, with enhanced encryption for private information storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional methods (paper or electronic screens) are used for form filling, then ease of operation is improved, but security of private information deteriorates due to vulnerability to physical observation and digital interception

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of form fillingVSAvoidsecurity vulnerability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the form filling process into two distinct environments: traditional electronic/screen-based filling for general purposes, and XR-based filling specifically for private information fields. This segmentation allows each method to be optimized for its intended use, with XR providing enhanced security for sensitive data while traditional methods maintain ease of operation for non-sensitive fields.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the security characteristics of different form fields. Private information fields are specifically designated to use XR environment for filling, while non-private fields can use traditional electronic methods. This localized application of XR technology ensures enhanced security only where needed, maintaining overall ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If XR environment is used for all form fields, then security of private information is improved, but device complexity and user burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity of private informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the form fields into private and non-private categories, and segments the filling methods accordingly. Only private information fields trigger the XR environment, while non-private fields use traditional electronic interfaces. This segmentation reduces the overall complexity by limiting XR usage to specific scenarios rather than requiring it for all form interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by using XR environment only for the necessary subset of private information fields rather than for all form fields. This selective approach provides adequate security for sensitive data while avoiding the excessive complexity and resource consumption that would result from requiring XR for every form interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If separate storage databases are implemented for private and non-private data, then security is improved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements segmentation of data storage by creating separate databases or storage regions for private information and non-private information. This segmentation enhances security by isolating sensitive data from general data, allowing different security protocols and access controls to be applied to each storage area. The system manages this complexity through automated routing based on field classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Apparatuses, systems and methods are described herein for separately collecting and storing form contents. Different information may be collected from a user on a form. Based on determining that portions of the form request a first type of information, an extended reality (XR) environment may be provided to the user. The user may provide the first type information via an input method in the XR environment. The user may provide a second type of information using a different input method outside of the XR environment. The first type of information may be processed and stored in a different database as compared to the second type of information. The database storing the first type of information may have a higher security standard than the database storing second type of information.
