Title: Data protection device and data protection method thereof
Inventor: WEN-JUI HSU
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-06-23
Abstract: Data to be transmitted from a data protection device 100A is combined with a random number to form a message digest. An interim digital signature is created using the random number to perform an encryption algorithm on the digest. The interim digital signature is then encrypted using a private key PRK_A from an encryption database 106A to create a digital signature for transmission. The digital signature is combined with the random number and the data to be sent to form a signed message and transmitted to a remote data protection device 100B. The remote device decrypts the digital signature using a corresponding public key PBK_A from its encryption database 106B to give a first received interim digital signature. The data received and the random number are combined to form a message digest which is then encrypted using the random number to create a second received interim digital signature. If the two received interim digital signatures match then the integrity of the data exchanged has been assured.

Filed: 2017-09-28
Abstract: A method for context aware human-to computer dialog relates to utilizing a context of an ongoing human-to-computer dialog to enhance the ability of an automated assistant to interpret and respond when a user abruptly transitions between different domains (subjects). In various implementations, natural language input is received from a user during an ongoing human-to-computer dialog with an automated assistant. A grammar(s) is selected to parse the natural language input. The selection is based on topic(s) stored as part of a contextual data structure associated with the ongoing human-to-computer dialog. The natural language input is parsed based on the selected grammar(s) to generate a parse(s). Based on the parse(s), a natural language response is generated and output to the user using an output device. Any topic(s) raised by the parse(s) or the natural language response is identified and added to the contextual data structure. The contextual data structure may be formed as an undirected graph 364 with a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes.
