Recently, the computing / communication industry has made remarkable technological advances and has gained tremendous commercial popularity, so those who choose to enjoy the benefits of such technological advances enjoy a number of benefits. For example, with the rapid development of personal communication devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smartphones, laptop computers, desktop computers, etc., users of these devices are now at a relatively low cost with other users 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can stay connected for seven days. Such connections may include, for example, various communications such as phone calls, email, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), text messages (eg, Short Message Service (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)), Instant Messaging (IM), and the like. This can be done through the channel. Users of these technologies enjoy a lot of benefits, but unfortunately they have to deal with the whole new issues and issues that come with these new technologies.

For example, users of such personal communication devices (eg, mobile phones, smartphones, laptops and desktop computers, etc.) encounter various privacy and security issues. One such issue that has arisen with users of personal communication devices is that communication (e.g., electronic communications such as phone calls, VoIP, email, text messages, IM, etc.) transmitted and / or received through such personal communication devices may be Is sometimes accessible by people other than the primary user (eg owner). As a result, information that points to highly sensitive communes (e.g., confidential personal or business communes) and various aspects of those communes (e.g. originating sources) becomes accessible to others, with embarrassing consequences even if they do not result in disaster. It is likely to lead.

For example, there has been a large report recently that a famous professional athlete has caught extramarital affairs with his wife, and it is widely reported that she knew this when she found a voice message from her husband's government on her mobile phone. . The husband in this case (that is, a famous professional athlete) could not have erased, hidden or disguised the voice message from his government, so he had to suffer huge economic losses from the loss of huge public embarrassment and commercial advertising revenue.

Such unfortunate consequences can also occur if one or more third parties have access to a bill for a communeike service (eg, an electronic communication service such as a telephone service). That is, some communication bills (e.g., telephone bills) may, for example, contain information about when the co-working was received and information directly identifying the name, address (e.g. email address) and / or telephone number of the source for the incoming co-working. It will contain important information related to the receiving commune (and originating communeike) that it contains. When viewed by a third party, such information can help the third party easily determine from whom the end user receives the commune. An example of such a bill is a telephone bill that will have a list of all incoming and outgoing calls. Such billing will typically indicate, for example, the dial telephone number of the outgoing call and in some cases the name associated with the dial number. Such information can have potentially destructive consequences when viewed by third parties.

Of course, the need for confidentiality of communication is not limited to personal situations, but may also be necessary in professional or professional situations. For example, when you are at work or in a different location (e.g., when you are in a meeting with a customer), you may be able to It may not be appropriate to receive.

According to various embodiments, a method, system, and computer program for conditionally obfuscating one or more secret entities against one or more invoices associated with one or more secret entities and associated with one or more charges directed to an end user. Product is provided. In some embodiments, conditional obfuscation of one or more secret entities for one or more invoices may result in one or more secrets for one or more bills (eg, electronic bills) when certain environmental conditions of a communication device associated with the end user have occurred and detected. Conditional obfuscation of an entity. In some embodiments, conditional obfuscation of one or more secret entities for one or more invoices may include one or more representations of the secret entity included in the one or more invoices (eg, name, email) along with one or more temporary representations (eg, obfuscation substitutes). An identifier including an address, a telephone number, and the like).

As further described in this disclosure, the method, system, and computer program product may be implemented by a computing system such as a network computing system that may include one or more network servers. For the purposes of this description, unless otherwise stated, the term “network server” can be interpreted broadly and is designed to facilitate the transmission, directing, processing, routing, relaying and / or storage of communeike such as routers, It may be associated with various network devices including switches, telephone exchanges, storage devices, and the like.

For the purposes of the description below, “communicate” refers to, for example, a visual text commune such as an email message, a text message (eg, a short message service “SMS” or a multimedia messaging service “MMS”), an instant message (IM), or the like. It may refer to any one of a variety of electronic communication means, including audio communication such as telephone communication (eg, telephone call, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call, voice message, video call or message, etc.).

As further described in this disclosure, a “secret entity” is any entity that is associated with a communeke that the end user wants to hide or hide (eg, obfuscate its identity or obfuscate a coquenic association with a secret entity). Can point to. In some cases, the secret entity may include a secret user, which may be a human or robot user, for example, and / or a secret user device, such as a cell phone, smartphone, laptop or desktop computer. In some cases, a secret entity may be an organization such as a business or an account or a profit group. In some examples, the source entity can be a website.

For the purposes of the description below, an “end user” may send and / or receive a communeike using, for example, one or more communication devices, and the end user may wish to hide or hide the presence or identity of the corresponding secret entity. Can be any user present. In some cases, an end user may receive one or more commune from various sources via a “communication device” (also referred to as a “receiving device”). In some examples, such communication device may be used to obtain an electronic bill for a communeike service (eg, a telephone service) that may be provided to an end user. The communication device may be any form of computing device designed to transmit / receive a communeike, including, for example, a cellular phone, smartphone, PDA, landline phone, laptop or desktop computer, tablet computer, workstation, and the like.

As discussed herein, “conditional indication” may relate to a command or instruction that executes one or more tasks when one or more conditions are generated and / or detected. For example, conditional instructions, which may be provided by an end user, indicate that one or more secret entities in one or more invoices, when detected, are indicative of one or more charges associated with one or more secret entities directed to the end user and associated with one or more secret entities. One or more environmental conditions (eg, environmental conditions of the communication device associated with the end user) that can direct or command obfuscation can be identified. In some cases, the conditional indication is one or more environmental conditions (e.g., that can direct or command obfuscation of one or more secret entities with respect to one or more communes directed to the end user when associated with the one or more secret entities). Environmental conditions of the communication device associated with the end user) can be additionally or alternatively identified.

Hereinafter, "communicate" refers to a telephone commune (e.g. telephony) or e-mail, instant, such as, for example, a mobile or landline telephone call, a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call, a voice message, a video call or a message, or the like. And may be associated with any one of a variety of electronic communications, including text communication (eg, text communications), such as messages IM, text messages, and the like.

A more detailed discussion relating to computing system 10 of FIG. 1B will be provided with respect to the processes and operations described herein. In particular, FIG. 3 illustrates an operational flow 300 representing an exemplary operation for conditional obfuscation of one or more secret entities (eg, conditionally obfuscating one or more secret entities in one or more invoices). And one or more bills indicate one or more charges associated with one or more communikes that are associated with one or more secret entities and addressed to a particular end user. In the following figures, including various examples of FIG. 3 and operational flows, discussion and description will be provided with respect to an exemplary environment 100 as described above and shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, and / or (eg, For example, other contexts (such as those provided in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 9) will be provided. However, it should be understood that the operational flows may be executed in a number of different environments and contexts and / or in modified versions of FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 9. In addition, although various operational flows appear in the illustrated sequence (s), it should be understood that the various operations may be performed in an order other than those shown, or may be performed concurrently.

Moreover, in the figures that follow in FIG. 3 and later, various operations may be shown in a box-within-a box manner. Such illustration indicates that the operation in the inner box may include optional embodiments of the operation steps shown in one or more outer boxes. However, it should be understood that the inner box operation may be regarded as an independent operation separate from any associated outer boxes, may be performed in any order for all other depicted operations, or may be performed simultaneously. do. Moreover, these operations shown in FIG. 3 as well as other operations described herein may be performed by at least one of a machine, an article of manufacture, or a composition of matter.

In any event, after the start operation, the operation flow 300 of FIG. 3 may be associated with a fee associated operation 302 for associating one or more charges with one or more communikes associated with one or more secret entities and addressed to a particular end user. Can be moved. For example, as an example, the fee association module 102 of the computing system 10 of the example environment 100 of FIGS. 1A and 1B may associate one or more charges with one or more secret entities 20 and include a particular end user ( 32 may be associated with one or more communications 52 (eg, telephone calls or messages, video calls, e-mails, etc.) addressed (eg, being or are being transmitted).

In addition to the rate association operation 302, the operation flow 300 may also include a billing operation 304 for providing one or more invoices representing one or more charges without at least directly identifying one or more secret entities. The provision of one or more invoices may conditionally obfuscate one or more secret entities with respect to one or more invoices, as further illustrated in FIG. 3, in accordance with one or more conditional instructions of a particular end user. For example, billing module 104 of computing system 10 of FIG. 1B may identify one or more secret entities 20 without at least directly identifying one or more secret entities 20 (eg, one or more secret entities 20). One or more bills 54 * (e.g., one or more electronic bills 54) that represent one or more charges without providing known identifiers of secret entities 20, such as known addresses, phone numbers, names, etc. And / or one or more hardcopy invoices 54 ') (e.g., create, send, etc.), the provision of one or more invoices 54 * may include one or more conditional instructions 50 of a particular end user 32. ) Can conditionally obfuscate one or more secret entities 20 with respect to one or more invoices 54 *. "*" Represents a wildcard, so reference to "bill 54 *" will refer to electronic bill 54 and / or hard copy bill 54 '.

As will be described further herein, the rate association operation 302 and billing operation 304 of FIG. 3 may be executed in a variety of different ways in various alternative implementations. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D, for example, illustrate at least some of the alternative ways in which the rate association operation 302 of FIG. 3 can be implemented in various alternative implementations. For example, in various implementations, the rate association operation 302 of FIG. 3 can include an operation 402 for determining one or more rates for one or more communes as shown in FIG. 4A. For example, the pricing module 202 (see FIG. 2A) of the computing system 10 of FIG. 1B determines one or more rates for one or more commune 52 (eg, one or more rates including free). Can be calculated or found).

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, there are many ways to determine a fee in order to obfuscate the secret entity 20 with respect to the commune 52. Thus, in various implementations, operation 402 can further include an operation 403 for searching and / or calculating in a lookup table to determine one or more fares as further shown in FIG. 4A. For example, the tariff lookup module 203 and / or tariff module 204 (see FIG. 2A) of the computing system 10 of FIG. 1B can determine one or more tariffs for one or more communes 52. The traversal table 57 is retrieved and / or calculated. To determine one or more fares, one or more fares may be retrieved from one or more costs in a rate lookup table and yield one or more fares, or simply by searching for one or more fares in a lookup table (without any calculations). Note that it can be calculated based on a formula.

As further shown in FIG. 4A, the rate association operation 302 of FIG. 3 can additionally or alternatively include an operation 404 for linking one or more rates to one or more communes. For example, the rate link module 205 (see FIG. 2A) of the computing system 10 of FIG. 1B may link (eg, attach or tag) one or more rates to one or more communes 52.

In various implementations, the association of one or more rates in the rate association operation 302 of FIG. 3 associates one or more rates to one or more obfuscation of one or more secret entities on one or more communes, as further illustrated in FIG. 4A. By including an action 405 for associating one or more charges with one or more commune. For example, fee association module 102 of computing system 10 of FIG. One or more charges may be associated with one or more communes 52 by associating with concealing, cloaking, hiding or disguising. For example, as an additional example, one or more charges may be associated with one or more concessions of an association of one or more secret entities 20 with one or more communes 52, or one or more secrets in one or more communes 52.
