A method for de-identifying identification information and an apparatus for performing the same are disclosed. A method according to one embodiment may include the operation of detecting identification information capable of identifying an object included in an original media; the operation of classifying the identification information into first identification information and second identification information; the operation of inputting the first identification information and the second identification information into a model, respectively, to generate virtual identification information to replace the identification information; and the operation of generating a result in which the identification information is de-identified based on the virtual identification information. The first identification information may be direct information capable of recognizing the object, and the second identification information may be indirect information capable of inferring the object.

Description

Method for deidentifying identification information and apparatus for performing the same The following disclosure relates to a method for de-identifying identification information and an apparatus for performing the same. If content containing personal information (e.g., images and videos) is used as is, privacy infringement issues may arise. Existing de-identification methods, which simply delete or blur personal information, can significantly reduce the utility value of the data. Furthermore, existing methods have limitations in that they cannot achieve complete de-identification because they only process direct personal information (e.g., faces, names, and license plates). Therefore, there is a need to develop technology that performs de-identification on information capable of inferring specific individuals, in addition to direct personal information, while maintaining the utility value of the data. The background technology described above is possessed or acquired by the inventor in the process of deriving the content of the disclosure of the present application, and cannot necessarily be considered as prior art disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of this application. In relation to the description of the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals may be used for identical or similar components. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a de-identification device according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a model for classifying identification information according to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a de-identification model according to one embodiment. FIGS. 4a and 4b are drawings for explaining the operation of generating virtual identification information according to one embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the operation of generating a result in which identification information is de-identified according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a de-identification method according to one embodiment. FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram of an electronic device according to one embodiment. Specific structural or functional descriptions of the embodiments are disclosed for illustrative purposes only and may be modified and implemented in various forms. Accordingly, actual implementations are not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and the scope of this specification includes modifications, equivalents, or substitutions included in the technical concept described by the embodiments. Terms such as "first" or "second" may be used to describe various components, but these terms should be interpreted solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. When it is stated that a component is "connected" to another component, it should be understood that it may be directly connected to or coupled with that other component, or that there may be other components in between. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this document, phrases such as “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” “at least one of A or B,” “A, B or C,” “at least one of A, B and C,” and “at least one of A, B, or C” may each include any one of the items listed together with the corresponding phrase, or all possible combinations thereof. In this specification, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to designate the existence of the described feature, number, step, action, component, part, or combination thereof, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this specification. As used herein, the term "module" may include a unit implemented in hardware, software, or firmware, and may be used interchangeably with terms such as logic, logic block, component, or circuit. A module may be a component formed integrally, or a minimum unit of said component or a part thereof that performs one or more functions. For example, according to one embodiment, a module may be implemented in the form of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). As used in this document, the term "part" refers to a software or hardware component, such as an FPGA or ASIC, that performs certain roles. However, "part" is not limited to software or hardware. "Part" may be configured to reside in an addressable storage medium
