Description
本專利文件揭示之一部分份係含有受到著作權保護的材料內容。著作權所有權人對於由本專利文件或專利揭示之任何人士按如出現在美國專利及商標局專利檔案或記錄內而進行傳真重製並無異議,然另保留所有任何的著作權。
本申請案主張2005年7月28日申請標題為「降低可追蹤性的電子訊息系統及方法(Method and System for Reducing Traceability of Electronic Messages)」之美國臨時專利申請案第60/703,367號案的優先權,並且在此依其整體併入本案作為參考。
本發明大體上係關於電子傳訊領域。本發明特別是針對於一種具降低可追蹤性的電子訊息系統及方法。
通常,一於兩人之間的電子訊息並非屬私人性質。其係可以沿一像是網際網路之公眾網路而行進,並且容易遭受到所不欲之第三方攔截。通訊系統本身也會將訊息加以登註及歸檔。亦可將各訊息予以拷貝、剪下、黏貼、轉傳、盲目拷貝或其他方式所操縱。這可提供一訊息一「檔架壽命」,而這通常無法由發送者或甚接收者加以控制。既已獲得對發送者及/或接收者電腦之未經授權接取的第三方或會進行不正當的伐採(即如藉由鍵擊及訊息記錄軟體)。電子訊息含有經耦接於有關該等發送者、接收者、訊息位置、與該訊息相關之時間及日期等等的識別資訊之訊息內容本身。這可讓伐採各訊息、攔截各訊息或僅獲得接取至該傳訊系統之日誌或收信箱檔案的第三方能夠將該潛在重要的識別資訊(通常稱為標頭資訊)關聯於該訊息內容。而該等僅為一部分的電子訊息誤用方式。故而需要一種用於降低電子訊息可追蹤性的系統及方法。
在一實施例中,提供一種由電腦實施而能夠降低一具標頭資訊及一訊息內容之電子訊息可追蹤性的方法。該方法包含(a)透過一第一使用者之第一電腦,提供一至少含有該標頭資訊之一部分的第一顯示;(b)回應於一來自該第一使用者的第一請求,透過該第一電腦提供一含有該訊息內容的第二顯示,而該訊息內容及該標頭資訊並非在相同時間顯示,藉以降低該電子訊息的可追蹤性;(c)在一第一預定時點處自動地刪除該標頭資訊;以及(d)在一第二預定時點處自動地刪除該訊息內容。
在另一實施例中,提供一種含有實施出一降低電子訊息可追蹤性方法之電腦可執行指令的電腦可讀取媒體。該等指令包含(a)一第一指令集合,此係用於透過一第一使用者之第一電腦,提供一至少含有該標頭資訊之一部分的第一顯示;(b)一第二指令集合,此係用於回應於一來自該第一使用者的第一請求,透過該第一電腦提供一含有該訊息內容的第二顯示,而該訊息內容及該標頭資訊並非相同時間顯示,以降低該電子訊息的可追蹤性;(c)一第三指令集合,此係用於在一第一預定時點處自動地刪除該標頭資訊;以及(d)一第四指令集合,此係用於在一第二預定時點處自動地刪除該訊息內容。
在又另一實施例中,提供一種用於降低電子訊息之可追蹤性方法的系統。該系統包含一電子訊息接收器,此係用於接收一或更多的電子訊息;以及一電子訊息儲存模組,該電子訊息儲存模組係與該電子訊息接收器相通訊,並儲存對於該等一或更多訊息內容各者的標頭資訊及訊息內容。該系統亦包含一顯示產生器,該顯示產生器與該電子訊息儲存模組相通訊,並且經組態設定以運用該訊息ID來產生:(i)一第一資訊,此者代表一含有至少部分的標頭資訊之第一顯示影像;(ii)一第二資訊,此者代表一含有該訊息內容的第二顯示影像,該第一及第二顯示影像無法在相同時間顯示,以降低該等一或更多電子訊息的可追蹤性。該系統進一步包含一訊息刪除模組,該訊息刪除模組係經組態設定以在一第一預定時點處刪除該標頭資訊,而在一第二預定時點處刪除該訊息內容。
又仍在另一實施例,提供一種為以降低一具有標頭資訊及一訊息內容之電子訊息可追蹤性的系統。該系統包含(a)用於自一第一使用者接收該電子訊息之裝置;(b)用於儲存該標頭資訊及該訊息內容之裝置;(c)用於提供一第一顯示影像的裝置,該影像中至少包含部分的標頭資訊;(d)用於提供一第二顯示影像的裝置,該影像中包含該訊息內容,而該等第一及第二顯示影像無法在相同時間顯示,以降低各電子訊息的可追蹤性;(e)用於在一第一預定時點處自動地刪除該標頭資訊之裝置;以及(f)用於在一第二預定時點處自動地刪除該訊息內容之裝置。
又在另一實施例中,提供一種含有可實施一降低電子訊息可追蹤性之方法的各電腦可執行指令之電腦可讀取信號。該等指令包含(a)第一指令集合,此係用於透過一第一使用者之第一電腦,提供一至少含有該標頭資訊之一部分的第一顯示;(b)一第二指令集合,此係用於回應於一來自該第一使用者的第一請求,透過該第一電腦提供一含有該訊息內容的第二顯示,而該訊息內容及該標頭資訊並非在相同時間顯示,藉以降低該電子訊息的可追蹤性;(c)一第三指令集合,此係用於在一第一預定時點處自動地刪除該標頭資訊;以及(d)一第四指令集合,此係用於在一第二預定時點處自動地刪除該訊息內容。
本揭示內容提供一種降低一電子訊息之可追蹤性的系統及方法。在一實施例中,一電子訊息的標頭資訊及訊息內容由本揭示內容之一系統及方法所顯示,因此不是在相同時間顯示該標頭資訊及該訊息內容。即如熟習本項技術者可自如後揭示而顯知者,將該標頭資訊分離於該訊息內容可降低電子訊息的可追蹤性。為進一步降低一電子訊息的可追蹤性,可在一第一預定時點處自動地刪除該標頭資訊,而在一第二預定時點處自動地刪除該訊息內容(即如在觀看過該訊息內容之後)。在一範例中,該等第一及第二預定時點的出現方式可為循序(即如當顯示該訊息內容時將標頭資訊刪除,並且當關閉一訊息內容之顯示時將訊息內容刪除)、同時(即如當關閉一訊息內容的顯示時將該訊息內容及相關的標頭資訊刪除),或是無次序,而使得該第二預定時點在該第一預定時點之前出現(即如先顯示該訊息內容,刪除該訊息內容,顯示該標頭資訊,然後再刪除該標頭資訊)。後文中將參照於如圖1至11中所述之各式示範性實施例,以進一步詳細說明本揭示的該等與其他觀點。

該與圖1範例中之系統100相通訊的電子訊息105包含一接收者位址135及一訊息內容140。一接收者位址,像是接收者位址135,可為一可識別一像是電子訊息105之電子訊息的一特定所欲接收者之指示器。在一範例中,一接收者位址可為一當使用者向該系統進行註冊時,經特定地建立以運用於該系統100的唯一性識別碼(即如一螢幕名稱、一登入名稱、一傳訊名稱等等)。在另一範例中,一接收者位址可為一預先建立電子郵件位址、一文字傳訊位址、一即時傳訊位址、一簡訊服務(SMS)位址、一電話號碼(即如住宅、辦公、行動電話號碼)、BLACKBERRY個人識別號碼(PIN)等等,此者關連於該接收者並由一第三方供應商所提供。示範性第三方供應商包含但不限於此,網頁式商業收費及無收費供應商(如YAHOO、HOTMAIL、AMERICAN ONLINE等等)、一網際網路服務供應商(即如AMERICAN ONLINE、MSN、電纜業者、電話公司等等)、一電話供應商(即如VERIZON、CINGULAR等等)、BLACKBERRY供應商、雇主、教育機構及其他電子郵件供應商。在註冊時,可由一使用者選擇該第三方位址作為其唯一性識別碼。在一替代性實施例中,一發送使用者或知悉一所欲接收者的第三方位址,並且在當產生一電子訊息105時利用此者作為接收者位址。在此一實施例中,所欲接收者可能並非該系統100的經註冊使用者。在一範例中,該系統100可視需要包含一外部系統通訊產生器145,此者經組態設定以將一通知訊息發送至與經運用於該電子訊息105之接收者位址相關聯的第三方系統。該外部系統通訊產生器145可與該適當的網路相通訊,俾與相對應之第三方位址進行通訊以遞送該通知訊息。在圖1中所示之範例中,該外部系統通訊產生器145經繪示為經連接至網際網路。在一範例中,一通知訊息可包含一表示,敘述某人在該系統100上既已向所欲接收者發送一電子訊息,並且所欲接收者可註冊以使用該系統100。該通知訊息可包含指向該系統100之公眾可獲用部分的方向(即如超鏈結)以進行註冊。
一電子訊息可為任何電子檔案、資料及/或其他於一或更多使用者電腦之間所傳送的資訊。一電子訊息可包含(即如作為訊息內容的一部分)任何廣泛各種資訊,包含,但不限於此,文字、影像、視訊(即如運用一像是MACROMEDIA FLASH之應用程式的單一播放視訊,)、二進位檔、表單資料(即如試算表)、含有可變字型顏色表格等之豐富文字、音訊(即如運用一像是MACROMEDIA FLASH之應用程式的單一播放音訊)、其他型式之資料以及該等的任何組合。在一範例中,一電子訊息之訊息內容包含嵌入資訊。在另一範例中,一電子訊息之訊息內容可包含一附加及/或鏈結檔案。在此一具一附加及/或鏈結檔案的範例中,該經附加及/或鏈結檔案可在被接收者觀看之後自動地從該傳訊系統中刪除。通常,一訊息內容,像是一訊息內容140,並未含有其本身即可識別出與該電子訊息相關聯之訊息發送者、接收者、電子訊息位置或時間/日期的資訊。
該系統100可選擇性地包含一訊息ID產生器150。即如後文中所進一步詳述,該訊息ID產生器150可對於該系統100所收到之各項電子訊息產生一訊息ID。該訊息ID與相對應之訊息相關聯。可利用一訊息ID以將一容器(亦即標頭)資訊關聯於一經相對應地個別儲存之訊息內容。在一範例中,可利用一唯一性128位元、經隨機產生的號碼來建立一訊息ID。該系統100可按各種方式而含有一於標頭資訊與訊息內容之間的相關性,這些方式包含但不限於此,一資料庫、查閱表、一檔案系統內之一項目以及該等之任何組合。運用一關聯於一電子訊息之訊息ID,像是電子訊息105,該系統100即可個別地處置(即如儲存、遞送、顯示等等)一特定電子訊息的標頭資訊及訊息內容,而具有在稍後時間將此二者相予關聯的能力。如此,可處置一訊息內容而完全無須識別標頭資訊。一訊息ID可含有唯一及/或非唯一資訊。例如,一訊息ID可包含一能在一組訊息中識別出一訊息的號碼序號(即如1、2、3、4等等)。序號可重新使用。例如,當觀看過一具一序號「1」之電子訊息而後續地予以刪除時,即可調整對於剩餘電子訊息的序號,因此具有序號「2」之電子訊息被重新編號為「1」等等。在另一範例中,一訊息ID可包含一序號以及一唯一性的使用者識別碼(即如一使用者ID、一登入ID等等)。
該系統100可選擇性地包含一回覆ID產生器155。即如後文進一步詳述,該回覆ID產生器155可對該系統100所收到之各電子訊息產生一回覆ID。該回覆ID將一像是該電子訊息105之電子訊息關聯於該電子訊息的發送者。在一範例中,一回覆ID不含有其本身能夠對一無法接取到由該傳訊系統所維護之相關性的第三方識別出一電子訊息之發送者的資訊。該系統100可按各種方式含有一於一回覆ID與一相對應訊息發送者之間的相關性,這包含,但不限於此,一資料庫、一查閱表、一檔案系統內之項目及該等之任何組合。在一觀點中,一關聯於一電子訊息之回覆ID可讓該電子訊息之標頭資訊及/或訊息內容能夠不包含關於該訊息之發送者,而其本身提供該發送者之可追蹤識別的資訊。即如後文所詳述,一接收者可仍將一回覆電子訊息發送至該原始發送者。此外,一可攔截、伐採或另而擁有該標頭資訊及/或訊息內容之第三方若亦未獲得接取至由該系統100所維護之相關性,則仍將無法追蹤該電子訊息而至該發送者。一回覆ID可包含各種不同識別碼,而讓一傳訊系統,像是該系統100,能夠將一回覆電子訊息導引返回該原始電子訊息的發送者。在一範例中,可利用一經隨機產生的號碼(即如128位元、隨機產生號碼)建立一回覆ID。
該系統100包含一與該電子訊息儲存模組130相通訊的顯示產生器160。該顯示產生器160係經組態設定以提供代表一顯示影像之資訊,以供顯示在一像是使用者電腦110、115的使用者電腦上。示範性顯示影像包含,但不限於此,一使用者登入顯示、一表示可獲供觀看之電子訊息的顯示列表資訊、一用於輸入一電子訊息之顯示、一電子訊息之訊息內容的顯示、一用於輸入一回覆電子訊息的顯示,以及該等之任何組合。在一範例中,該顯示產生器160可經組態設定以運用一訊息ID而產生出一代表一含有該電子訊息105至少一部分標頭資訊之第一顯示影像的第一資訊165。該顯示產生器160亦可經組態設定以產生一代表一含有該電子訊息105之訊息內容140的第二顯示影像之第二資訊170。圖1顯示經傳通於該電腦115以對一接收使用者顯示的第一及第二資訊165、170。在此範例中,該顯示產生器160按無法在相同時間處顯示出該第一及第二顯示影像之方式產生出第一及第二資訊165、170。分開地顯示一電子訊息的標頭資訊及訊息內容可降低該電子訊息的可追蹤性。在一觀點中,在一像是該電腦115之電腦處的螢幕畫面伐採無法同時地捕捉到該標頭資訊及該訊息內容兩者。此外,在一像是網際網路之開放網路上於傳通至一使用者電腦的過程中,將標頭資訊及訊息內容實體地及/或時間上地分開,即能藉由降低攔截該電子訊息之兩者元件的能力以化解電子訊息誤用問題。
該顯示產生器160可運用任意各種眾知顯示產生方法及/或協定以建立代表一可顯示影像的資訊。示範性方法及/或協定包含,但不限於此,超文字標記語言(HTML)、可延伸標記語言(XML)、直接圖形產生作業,以及該等之任何組合。在一範例中,該系統100常駐於一或更多伺服器電腦上,並且該顯示產生器160包含及/或運用一網頁伺服器應用程式,藉以產生代表可由一含一網頁瀏覽器之使用者電腦觀看的網頁瀏覽器可顯示影像之資訊。在另一範例中,該顯示產生器160可經組態設定以指示一根據本發明顯示一顯示影像之使用者電腦的瀏覽器或其他應用程式勿快取任何相關於該顯示影像的資訊。
該系統100可進一步包含一與電子訊息儲存模組130相通訊的刪除模組175。該刪除模組175係經組態設定以在一預定時間量之後即自該系統100刪除標頭資訊及/或訊息內容。在一範例中,該刪除模組175係經組態設定以在顯示過該訊息內容之後,隨即自動地刪除標頭資訊及相對應的訊息內容。在另一範例中,一刪除模組(即如該刪除模組175)係經組態設定以當在顯示出一相對應訊息內容時即自動地刪除該標頭資訊。又在另一範例中,一刪除模組(即如該刪除模組175)係經組態設定以當將該訊息內容之顯示關閉後即自動地刪除該訊息內容。而又在另一範例中,一刪除模組係經組態設定以在一預設時間(如在收到之後廿四小時)後,無論是否既經觀看過皆自動地將標頭資訊及/或訊息內容刪除。而又仍在另一範例中,一刪除模組係經組態設定以在顯示過該標頭資訊後之一預設時間(如廿四小時),即自動地將標頭資訊及/或訊息內容刪除。在一進一步範例中,一預定時間量可包含一特定電子訊息的預定觀看次數(並非單一觀看)(即如一電子訊息在經觀看過20次後即予刪除)。由在仍一進一步範例中,一刪除模組(即如該刪除模組175)係經組態設定以在當顯示一相對應訊息內容時即自動地刪除該標頭資訊,而在當將該訊息內容之顯示關閉時即自動地刪除該訊息內容。亦可如該等範例般考量到各刪除協定之組合。
在一替代性實施例中,該系統100可包含一顯示式鍵盤產生器180。該顯示式鍵盤產生器180係經組態設定以產生一顯示式鍵盤,可經納入於由該顯示產生器160所產生的顯示影像。可由使用者(即如透過滑鼠敲擊或觸控螢幕壓按)運用一顯示式鍵盤以輸入資訊(即如使用者名稱、密碼、接收者位址、訊息內容),而無須使用關聯於該使用者電腦的標準鍵盤。按此方式,(可防止?)鍵盤(鍵擊)伐採硬體及/或常駐於該使用者電腦,像是電腦110、115,上的軟體之攔截。在一範例中,一顯示式鍵盤產生器可運用可自Macromedia公司購得的FLASH技術。在另一範例中,一顯示式鍵盤產生器可運用可自Sun Microsystem公司購得的Java技術。在一觀點中,一FLASH式鍵盤可隨機地於該螢幕上鍵盤的各字元之間放置空間,以進一步防止攔截訊息。此雖為相對較慢的資料輸入方法,然可更能確保使用者其資訊不會遭受採伐及/或攔截。
該系統100亦可視需要包含回覆訊息接收器185。該回覆訊息接收器185係經組態設定以接收對於由一接收者所觀看之一或更多原始電子訊息的回覆訊息。在一觀點中,可自一該電子訊息所包含或所關聯之識別特徵,而決定出一原始電子訊息的發送者。示範性識別特徵包含但不限於此,一回覆ID、一電子郵件位址、一使用者名稱、一顯示名稱、登入ID以及該等之任何組合。在一範例中,一原始電子訊息的回覆ID可用來產生一回覆訊息。在一範例中,一由該電腦115傳通至該系統100的回覆訊息僅需含有一訊息內容190。該系統100可包含一回覆產生器195。該回覆產生器195可經組態設定以運用該原始回覆ID以將該訊息內容190及任何相對應標頭資訊關聯於該原始電子訊息發送使用者。該訊息ID產生器150可經組態設定以對於該回覆電子訊息產生一訊息ID(亦即該訊息內容190以及相對應的標頭資訊)。該回覆ID產生器155可經組態設定以對於該回覆訊息產生一新回覆ID,並且該電子訊息儲存模組130可分別地儲存訊息內容190及相對應的標頭資訊,以供稍後對使用者(原始發送者)顯示。
圖1僅說明一根據本揭示之傳訊系統與網接取環境的示範性實施例。即如熟習本項技術者所將瞭解且如本文所述者,可利用對於該系統100及該網路環境的變化項目以實施本揭示之各種觀點及方法。圖3及4說明替代性的計算環境。圖3說明一根據本揭示之傳訊系統300的實施例。該系統300包含一具有一單一伺服器電腦310的計算環境。該等使用者電腦315及320透過網路325與該伺服器電腦310通訊。利用該系統300傳通一電子訊息330。在此一繪出一回覆電子訊息340。圖4說明另一根據本揭示之傳訊系統400實施例。該系統400包含一具有兩個伺服器電腦405、410的計算環境。該等使用者電腦415及420透過網路425與該等伺服器電腦405、410相通訊。利用該系統400傳通一電子訊息430。在此一繪出一回覆電子訊息440。該等伺服器電腦405、410一起執行如圖3之單一伺服器電腦310的功能性。
現參照圖3及5,其中可描述一根據本揭示之傳訊系統,像是該系統300,的示範性操作。一使用者可在電腦315處登入該系統300(圖5之步驟505)。例如,一使用者可接取一網站或其他關聯於該伺服器310的網接介面。然後該伺服器310可提供代表一顯示影像(即如一網頁)之資訊以供顯示在電腦315上,這可讓該使用者能夠登入該系統。在一觀點中,該系統300之一使用者可具有與其相關之一登入ID及密碼,藉以登入該系統300。圖7描述一可使用之示範性登入顯示700。在一觀點中,該系統300可對在該電腦315,或是其他根據本揭示觀看一顯示影像之電腦,上之瀏覽器或其他應用程式提供一指令,而勿快取經包含於該顯示影像內之資訊。當輸入一有效登入ID及密碼後,該伺服器310即建立一與該電腦315的通訊鏈結(即如一密鑰基礎架構、安全插接層(SSL)、安全HTTP(HTTPS)或是其他的安全或非安全通訊鏈結)。在一範例中,該系統300可運用一電子郵件位址作為一登入ID。
在一觀點,當一使用者登入該系統300內之後,可建立一會期,其中含有建立一會期ID。可由該系統300運用一會期及一相對應記憶體以維護一些有關於該會期及該使用者的資訊(即如使用者的識別資訊、一回覆ID)。
經適當登入後,即可對該使用者呈現以一會期開始顯示影像。熟習本項技術者應即可瞭解當初始登入至該系統300後,確可獲用各種開始顯示影像(亦即網頁)以對一使用者顯示。在一範例中,可顯示出一用於輸入一電子訊息之顯示影像。圖8說明一開始顯示影像800的範例。該顯示影像800包含一第一部分805,此係用於輸入一接收者位址,或是對於一訊息之一或更多接收者的其他識別碼。該顯示影像800亦說明一「收信箱」部分810,此者係用於列出對於經登入使用者在該系統上未經閱讀的電子訊息。在此範例中,顯示出一對於經登入使用者之選擇性顯示名稱815,「Mary Smith」。一顯示名稱可與相對應之登入名稱及/或使用者位址相同或互異,並且可或無須包含關於該使用者的識別資訊。
當輸入一接收者位址(圖5之步驟510)並且啟動一按鍵820或其他觸發器後,即可顯示出一像是圖9之訊息內容顯示螢幕900的訊息內容顯示螢幕。該顯示螢幕900包含一第一部分905,此係用於在圖8之部分805處輸入(圖5之步驟515)一對應於該接收者位址輸入的訊息內容。在此範例中,是在個別顯示螢幕上輸入該接收者位址及該訊息內容。在另一範例中,可在單一顯示影像螢幕上輸入該接收者位址及該訊息內容。將該接收者位址及該訊息內容輸入分開可部分地藉由降低在該電腦315處進行伐採之能力而進一步降低一電子訊息的可追蹤性。
在一替代性實施例中,可將一顯示式鍵盤(即如前述)納入一像是顯示影像700、800及900之電子訊息輸入顯示內。一使用者可利用一滑鼠或其他點指裝置(即如一觸控螢幕顯示器)以選擇所輸入的字元。
圖9說明一既經輸入於該部分910內之示範性訊息內容930。當完成訊息內容輸入之後,一使用者可選擇按鍵840,或其他指示器,以將該訊息內容傳通至該伺服器310(圖5的步驟520)。在一範例中,可在輸入時,按分離於一相對應訊息內容而將該接收者位址傳送至該伺服器310。這可降低在傳往該伺服器310的過程中攔截整個電子訊息的能力。在另一範例中,可將該接收者位址保留在該電腦315處,直到相對應的訊息內容經輸入於一後續顯示影像內為止。在一範例中,當進行該接收者位址及該訊息內容930傳送後,該電腦315並不保留該接收者位址或該訊息內容930的蹤跡。例如,各者自該使用者鍵入該資訊之時起,可僅存在於在該電腦315處的隨機存取記憶體(RAM)內,並或可為在經建立於一碟機內的虛擬記憶體(即如一網頁檔案)內,直到在該電腦315處載入次一顯示影像為止,而在此之後即有效地刪除該資訊。參照圖3,該電子訊息330經圖示為包含一接收者位址,以及自該電腦315傳通至該伺服器310的訊息內容。
在一替代性實施例中,當該伺服器310收到該電子訊息330時,相關於該系統300(即如經儲存在該伺服器310處)的各項指令可產生一回覆ID,並且將該回覆ID關聯於該電子訊息330(圖5之步驟525)。該伺服器310可維護一在該回覆ID與該發送使用者之間的相對應性。在一範例中,會對於各電子訊息建立一新回覆ID,無論該發送使用者是否與另一電子訊息者相同皆然。如此可更能夠降低電子訊息的可追蹤性。
在另一替代性實施例中,在步驟530處,該系統300產生一用於關聯該電子訊息330之經分隔訊息內容及標頭資訊的訊息ID。而該伺服器310可維護在該訊息內容與該標頭資訊之間的相對應性。
在步驟535處,關聯於該電子訊息330的標頭資訊經識別以分隔於該訊息內容930。在一觀點中,可藉由將此等資訊關聯於該電子訊息之一容器或標頭資訊元件,以實施將識別出該發送使用者、接收使用者、電子訊息位置、電子訊息計時之資訊分隔於該訊息內容。在一範例中,運用一回覆ID及一訊息ID可進一步有助於將其本身可識別出一發送使用者或接收者的資訊予以移除。可產生一對於該發送使用者的顯示名稱並關聯於該標頭資訊。該使用者的顯示名稱不需為唯一者,如此當最終地將該電子訊息330傳通至該電腦320或另由該接收者觀看時,仍可維持該使用者的匿名性。在一範例中,該系統300取代所有關聯於該電子訊息330而其本身能夠識別出該發送使用者的資訊。在一實施例中,可產生一對於該發送使用者而並不提供該發送使用者之唯一識別的預定顯示名稱,並將其關聯於相對應的標頭資訊。在另一範例中,該系統300可運用一含有一包含唯一地識別出該發送使用者之資訊的顯示名稱(即如登入名稱、電子郵件位址等等)。
在一範例中,對一特定電子訊息之標頭資訊,像是標頭資訊,可包含但不限於此,一回覆ID、一訊息ID、一關聯於該電子訊息的日期/時間(即如建立日期/時間、遞送日期/時間等等)、一代表該電子訊息之發送者的顯示名稱,以及該等之任何組合。
在步驟540,一電子訊息330係經關聯於一由該接收者位址所代表之接收者。在一範例中,可決定該接收者之位置。即如在此所用者,一位置可包含一訊息信箱、一關聯於該接收者之訊息伺服器、一關聯於該接收者的電腦、該接收者的電子郵件位址、該接收者在該系統300內的顯示名稱等等。例如,該系統300可藉由各種識別資料(即如顯示名稱、登入ID、相關之電子郵件位址、文字傳訊位址、即時傳訊位址、SMS位址、行動號碼、BLACKBERRY PIN等等)以識別一使用者,藉此決定對於該電子訊息330的路由。即如前述,若該接收者並非該系統300的註冊使用者,可將一通知發送至一第三方系統以說明存在有該電子訊息330。例如,若該接收者係藉一第三方電子郵件位址所識別,則可在該第三方電子郵件網路上將一通知發送至該電子郵件接收者。類似地,若該接收者係藉一Blackberry PIN所識別,則可在該Blackberry網路上將一通知發送至該接收者。
在步驟545處,將該標頭資訊及訊息內容加以儲存。在一範例中,標頭資訊及訊息內容彼此分別地儲存(即如在個別檔案內、在個別資料庫內、在個別表單內等等)。可利用一訊息ID以維護於該電子訊息330之個別元件間的相對應性。可按各種方式進行儲存,包含,但不限於此,儲存在接收者位置處以及儲存在伺服器31.0位置處。在一範例中,是將該電子訊息330的標頭資訊及訊息內容儲存在該伺服器310之一儲存媒體內的個別表單中。
在另一範例中,該系統310的各使用者經指配一儲存目錄(即如在一伺服器上、在一使用者電腦上,像是按端對端排置等等)。當將一使用者關聯於該接收者位址後,即可將對於該使用者之任何訊息的訊息內容及標頭資訊儲存在該使用者的儲存目錄內。下列的XML檔案定義說明一對於兩項經儲存在一使用者儲存目錄下之電子訊息的標頭資訊之範例。
<?xml version=”1.0”encoding=”UTF-8”?> <streams> <streamsummary id=”8C515D3B6A3A99C6C1A1F1DE019C7AB0” from=”user one”datereceived=”1143660969” replyid=”6C04279318E53F61A9D7984ADD4C3E1A”/> <streamsummary id=”98F78AD49BFC35B36357850C107460DF” from“user four[mike.smithonlinemail.com]”datereceived=”1143665437” replyid=”0648B99BE6F9E5AB21F3A163AD242173”/> </streams>
上述檔案定義包含對於在該接收者儲存目錄下之各訊息的訊息ID(「streamsummary id」)、顯示名稱(「from」)、所收資料及回覆ID。注意即如一實施變化方式,該第二訊息之發送使用者既已將一顯示名稱,「user four」,與之關聯,而此者包含一指向一電子郵件位址,mike.smithonlinemail.com,的參考。此電子郵件位址可或無須經關聯於一第三方系統的真實電子郵件帳號,並且可或無須提供相關於該發送使用者的真實識別資訊。下列的訊息內容XML檔案係分離於上述標頭資訊而個別地儲存在該儲存目錄下。
<?xml version=”1.0”encoding=”UTF-8”?> <message id=”8C515D3B6A3A99C6C1A1F1DE019C7AB0”subject=''''> <text>This is my first message to you.</text> </message>
底下的第二訊息內容xML檔案則是分離於該標頭資訊而個別地儲存在該儲存目錄下。
<?xml version=”1.0”encoding=”UTF-8”?> <message id=”98F78AD49BFC35B36357850C107460DF”subject=''''> <text>This is my reply message to your message from Monday.</text> </message>
各個訊息內容xML檔案含有對於返回至相對應標頭資訊之相關性的相對應訊息ID。各訊息內容XML檔案亦含有該訊息內容。熟習本項技術者應即可認知到其他用於將該標頭資訊分隔於該訊息內容之儲存方法確相符於本揭示。
現再度概參照於圖3,在步驟550處,描述由一使用者擷取一電子訊息,即一接收使用者利用該電腦320登入該系統300。可將一類似於圖7之顯示影像利用作為一登入顯示。在一範例中,當輸入一有效登入ID及密碼後,即可建立一於該電腦320與該伺服器310之間的通訊鏈結。該系統300可對該電腦320提供一代表至少一部分標頭資訊的顯示影像,而該部分係有關於任何與該接收使用者相關的電子訊息。圖10說明一示範性顯示影像1000,此者含一接收者位址輸入部分1005及一訊息列表部分1010。該訊息列表部分1010包含一三個電子訊息之標頭資訊1015、1020、1025的列表。該訊息列表部分1010包含對於各標頭資訊1015、1020、1025所收到的顯示名稱及日期/時間。各訊息容器(或標頭資訊)1015、1020、1025亦可包含一對於訊息ID之關聯性以及一對於回覆ID之關聯性(然並未顯示在該顯示影像1000內)。而對於各電子訊息之訊息內容則並未透過該顯示影像1000所顯示。
圖3說明對於經傳通至該電腦320之電子訊息330的標頭資訊及訊息內容。在此範例中,該標頭資訊1015代表電子訊息330。
在一替代性實施例中,經傳通至該電腦320的標頭資訊可包含一經指配予關聯於一特定使用者及/或經發送至一特定使用者之各電子訊息的序號(即如1、2、3等)。在此一實施例中,各序號可為在該系統300中經關聯於相對應的訊息ID。可自相對應的標頭資訊及/或訊息內容中移除該訊息ID。按此方式,該系統300即能避免將一訊息ID發送至一使用者電腦,而是另代以發送該序號,此者可在當將一訊息刪除之後予以重用,並因而較無法自該使用者電腦進行追蹤。
在步驟555處,一使用者可選擇由標頭資訊1015、1020、1025所標定之各電子訊息其一者(即如藉由在訊息列表1010內選擇一相對應的「讀取」指示器)。在選擇之刻,或尚未將對於各電子訊息之訊息內容傳通至該電腦320。在一範例中,可連同於相對應的標頭資訊(然未經顯示)而將訊息內容傳通至該電腦320。在另一範例中,可在該伺服器310處保留該訊息內容,直到一來自一使用者之第二請求經發送至伺服器310以觀看一特定電子訊息的訊息內容為止。在此一範例中,該電腦320向該伺服器310請求對於一選定電子訊息的訊息內容(即如電子訊息330而透過標頭資訊1015)。回應於此項動作,該伺服器310可自該選定標頭資訊關聯一訊息ID,並將具有該相對應訊息ID之訊息內容傳送至該電腦320。或另者,其中對於各電子訊息運用一序號,該伺服器310將該選定電子訊息之序號關聯於一相對應訊息內容,並且將該訊息內容傳送至該電腦320。
在步驟565,在電腦320處提供一含有該訊息內容,但無標頭資訊,之顯示影像。圖11說明當在圖10之顯示影像1000內選擇該標頭資訊1015時,一獨立於該標頭資訊而呈現對於電子訊息330之訊息內容的示範性顯示影像1100。該顯示影像1100包含一含該電子訊息330之訊息內容的訊息內容部分1110。該顯示影像1100亦包含一回覆訊息輸入部分1120。
在一替代性實施例中,該顯示影像1100可運用FLASH技術以顯示該訊息內容。例如,該顯示影像1100可要求該使用將該螢幕上游標者「停泊」於該顯示影像1100中的一區域內以觀看該訊息內容,而該者可按如Flash電影所顯示。若移動該游標,則會隱藏所顯示之訊息內容而無法在螢幕觀看,讓使用者能夠快速地防止訊息內容被旁觀者看到。同時,這項技術亦可用來防止利用網頁瀏覽器或應用程式列印來列印訊息內容,因為一旦該使用者移動游標而嘗試列印時,則會隱藏該訊息內容。在另一範例中,利用「曝序風格表單(CSS)」可讓含有該訊息內容之顯示影像部分能夠在列印過程中不被顯示或予以隱藏。
參照圖5,在步驟570,於步驟565一預定時間處即將該電子訊息,像是該電子訊息330,自動地從該伺服器310永久刪除。在一範例中,當該標頭資訊被傳送至該電腦320時,即自該伺服器310予以刪除,而接著當將相對應的訊息內容傳通至該電腦320時,即自該伺服器310予以刪除。在此一範例中,一旦對該使用者顯示出該訊息列表1010之後,該使用者就必須在該會期中觀看該訊息內容。為達到觀看一訊息內容並回返至該訊息列表1010的能力,可將未經觀看之電子訊息的標頭資訊保留在該電腦320處之記憶體內。在另一範例中,可將標頭資訊保留在伺服器310處,直到觀看過該相對應訊息內容為止,在此時該標頭資訊及該訊息內容兩者皆自該伺服器310刪除。可將一對於一特定電子訊息之回覆ID保留在該伺服器310的記憶體內(即如回應於一對於觀看一訊息內容之請求,該伺服器310可關聯一目前會期ID於該回覆ID),一直到顯示出該相對應訊息內容的顯示影像被使用者關閉為止。這可讓一使用者能夠運用該顯示影像1100的回覆訊息部分1120以對該目前訊息內容進行回覆,而無須在該電腦320上擁有關聯於該訊息內容之原始發送者的唯一位址。圖3說明一伺服器式系統。自像是一端對端系統之替代性系統中刪除可包含自在一使用者電腦處之儲存物項中刪除一電子訊息。
即如前述,用於自一像是該系統300之系統予以刪除的刪除時間之其他範例包含,但不限於此,在顯示出訊息內容之後立即地自動刪除標頭資訊及相對應的訊息內容、在顯示出一相對應訊息內容之後自動刪除標頭資訊、當關閉該訊息內容的顯示時即自動刪除訊息內容、在一預定時間後(即如在收到後廿四小時)即自動刪除標頭資訊及/或訊息內容(無論該等是否既經觀看)、在顯示出標頭資訊之一預定時間後(即如廿四小時)自動刪除標頭資訊及/或訊息內容,以及該等之任何組合。在一範例中,該系統300係經組態設定以要求一給定刪除法則(即如當顯示出該電子訊息及/或一或更多其元件時即自動永久刪除一電子訊息),無論發送及/或接收使用者的意欲如何皆然。
一適合於自該系統300刪除電子訊息之刪除演算法的範例包含,但不限於此,美國國防部(DoD)清除及消毒標準DoD 5220.22-M。在一替代性實施例中,若該接收者並未在一預定時間量之內擷取該電子訊息,則該伺服器電腦310可自其本身的記憶體刪除像是電子訊息330及相對應之回覆ID的電子訊息。
在一範例中,在觀看該訊息內容之後,該使用者可在顯示影像1100上選擇一按鍵1130,以回返到該訊息列表(即如圖10內的訊息列表1010),或是另為關閉該顯示影像(圖5之步驟575)。在另一範例中,在觀看該訊息內容之後,該使用者可選擇對該電子訊息進行回應(圖5之步驟580),即如後文中所進一步詳述者。若該使用者並未在一預設時間量內對該訊息內容進行回應(即如1小時),則可自該伺服器310刪除一相關回覆ID。若該使用者選擇回返到訊息列表,則可在觀看後自動地從該接收者電腦320刪除該訊息內容(圖5之步驟585)。例如,該訊息內容將僅存在於RAM內,並且可能是在經建立於該電腦320內之碟機上的虛擬記憶體中,從該使用者觀看該訊息內容之刻至載入次一螢幕畫面至電腦320為止,而在此之後即有效地刪除掉該訊息。此外,在一範例中,該訊息列表(圖10內之訊息列表1010)不再含有對於一特定電子訊息而既已從該伺服器310中刪除的標頭資訊(即如該電子訊息330的標頭資訊1015),並且該會期ID不再含有指向該回覆ID的參考。換言之,一旦既已刪除之後,使用者將無法再度地觀看該訊息或回覆該訊息。例如,圖12即說明既已從該伺服器310及該電腦320中刪除該電子訊息330之後的訊息列表1010。
在一替代性實施例中,可利用加密技術以發送、儲存及/或擷取電子訊息。對於熟習本項技術者而言,各種加密技術確為眾知。例如,可由使用者及系統利用一公眾及私有加密密鑰之組合,藉以進一步確保安全性並降低電子訊息的可追蹤性一直到刪除為止。
參照圖3及6,其中描述系統該310在將一回覆訊息340自該使用者電腦320選擇性地發送至該使用者電腦315方面的操作。即如圖11中所示,該原始電子訊息(即如電子訊息330)的接收使用者可利用該回覆訊息輸入部分1120選擇回覆該訊息。回覆訊息輸入部分1120可讓使用者能夠輸入對於一回覆訊息的訊息內容。在本範例中,並不需要輸入一接收者位址,因為該系統300可利用一原始回覆ID以決定該回覆電子訊息的路由。在該使用者完成回覆訊息輸入部分1120之後,該者可選擇「發送串流」按鍵1140。回應於此,該電腦3250將該回覆訊息內容傳送至該伺服器電腦310(圖6的步驟605)。在傳通該回覆訊息內容之後,該電腦320並不保留該訊息存在性的追蹤資料。例如,該訊息將僅存在於RAM內,且可能在經建立在電腦320中之碟機中的虛擬記憶體內,從該使用者鍵入該訊息之刻一直到將次一螢幕畫面載入該電腦320為止,而在此之後即有效地刪除該訊息。在一替代性實施例中,可運用一如前述之顯示式鍵盤作為該影像1100的一部分,以供輸入該回覆訊息內容。
在一範例中,當收到該回覆訊息內容時,該伺服器310即(即如自目前會期ID)決定對於該原始訊息的回覆ID,並且利用該回覆ID以將該電子訊息關聯於發送該原始訊息330的使用者(圖6之步驟610)。這可按各種方式完成,包含,但不限於此,一查閱表、一資料庫等等,此者可提供一於該回覆ID與該初始訊息之發送者間的相關性。在步驟615,該系統300接著即自該伺服器310的記憶體中刪除掉該初始回覆ID(即如對於該訊息330的回覆ID)。在一替代性實施例中,可自另一關聯於該電子訊息之識別碼(即如顯示名稱、登入ID、相關電子郵件位址、文字傳訊位址、即時傳訊位址、SMS位址、行動號碼、BLACKBERRY PIN等等),決定出一原始電子訊息之發送者的識別資料。
接著在步驟620處,該伺服器310可按一類似於如前對於該電子訊息330所討論之方式,產生出另一回覆ID並將該回覆ID關聯於該回覆訊息340。該伺服器310亦可產生另一訊息ID,這可建立於該回覆訊息340之訊息內容與該回覆訊息340之標頭資訊間的相關性。可按類似地如前對於該電子訊息330所敘述之方式,將該回覆訊息340的標頭資訊及訊息內容加以處置及儲存。可由其接收者按與觀看該原始電子訊息330之相同方式來觀看該回覆訊息340。
有利地,該系統300可讓電腦315及320的使用者能夠在網路325上擁有私人會談。在將像是該電子訊息330及回覆訊息340的訊息傳通至該發送者之後,不會在其電腦上遺留下任何訊息的證明。在一範例中,在該接收者觀看該訊息之後(或是在另一預定時刻處),該訊息即不再存在於該系統300上,因而可確保無法有爭議地重新建立出該訊息,並確保在該系統300上不會遺留有訊息記錄。在另一範例中,絕不會將一電子訊息的拷貝遞送至使用者電腦。在此一範例中,僅會分別地顯示出標頭資訊及訊息內容的非快取顯示影像。當顯示後即可立即地、自動地且永久地自該系統中刪除掉標頭資訊及訊息內容。一旦關閉各顯示影像後,該資訊即永久消失。如此,在另一觀點中,在使用者電腦上絕不會將拷貝予以存檔、轉傳、複製、黏貼等。在另一觀點中,標頭資訊及訊息內容的分別顯示可防止在一使用者電腦處的單一螢幕捕捉,而無法建立出該電子訊息的完整記錄。又在另一觀點中,一根據本揭示之系統及方法可提供一末端對末端的無記錄電子傳訊系統,此系統在當刪除電子訊息之後,並不會遺留下訊息內容、標頭資訊或是該者曾經被建立、存在、遞送、觀看等事實的痕跡。
圖4為一說明一具一替代性網路拓樸之系統400的略圖。該圖4之實施例大致類似於圖3者,除圖4之系統400採用兩個可藉一或更多網路425而運作耦接於使用者電腦415及420之訊息伺服器405及410以外。在圖4之實施例中,這兩個訊息伺服器415及420一起執行先前對於圖3之單一訊息伺服器310所敘述的工作。例如,在用於發送該初始訊息330的方法中,該訊息伺服器405執行圖5之步驟505至535以及一部分的步驟540,而該訊息伺服器410運作如一「接收位置」,並執行圖5之一部分的步驟540以及步驟545至585。應即可瞭解伺服器405及410兩者皆可追蹤該回覆ID,並且在該訊息既經傳通之後兩者伺服器405及410皆可予以刪除。此款排置特別地適用於該等訊息伺服器405及410各者關聯於不同的企業,商業組織、LAN等等之情況。
應注意到可利用一根據本揭示之教示所程式設計的傳統一般目的性電腦,以簡便地實施上述各項觀點及實施例,即如對於熟諳電腦技藝之人士所顯見者。可由專技程式設計人員依照本揭示之教示而隨即地備製適當的軟體編碼,即如熟諳軟體技藝之人士所顯知者。
此軟體可為一電腦程式產品,該者利用一儲存媒體,而其中含有用以程式設計一電腦俾執行所揭示之各項本發明功能及處理程序的經儲存電腦程式碼。該儲存媒體可包含,但不限於此,任何型式之傳統軟碟、光碟、CD-ROM、磁性光碟、ROM、RAM、EPROM、EEPROM、磁性或光學卡,或是任何其他適於儲存電子指令的媒體。
前文中既已揭示各項示範性實施例,並於各附圖內加以說明。熟習本項技術者應即能瞭解確可對在此所特定揭示者進行各種變化、省略及添增,而不致悖離本發明之精神及範圍。
