Electronic Apparatus Access Control Guide Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in determining whether to approve access requests from applications on their devices, particularly when personal information is involved, leading to potential security risks due to cumbersome decision-making processes.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus and method that provide guide information to users by acquiring access control information and relevance data from other devices, calculating an access approval score, and displaying recommendations for approving or rejecting access requests based on this information, enhancing user convenience and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users directly determine and set whether to approve access requests themselves, then security control is maintained, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces guide information as an intermediary element between the access request and the user's final decision. This guide information includes relevance scores, access control policies, and risk assessments that help users make informed decisions without having to manually evaluate all security parameters themselves, thus maintaining security control while reducing operational burden
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to users in the form of guide information that analyzes the access request against stored access control information and relevance data. This feedback mechanism presents calculated scores and recommendations that assist users in making security decisions quickly and consistently, reducing both time consumption and potential errors
2Ease of operation
If users approve access requests without careful consideration, then the operation becomes quick and easy, but security risks increase due to potential security accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis and risk assessment before the user makes the final approval decision. By pre-calculating relevance scores, checking access control policies, and identifying potential security risks, the system prevents hasty approvals that could lead to security incidents while still allowing quick user decisions
Solution Approach 2:
Guide information acts as an intermediary that mediates between the user's quick decision-making tendency and security requirements. The system presents synthesized security assessments and relevance evaluations that guide users toward secure decisions without requiring them to perform detailed security analyses themselves
3Ease of operation
If the system provides detailed guide information for access decisions, then user convenience and security are improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates the complex security analysis functions from the user decision-making process. The system extracts relevant parameters from access requests, calculates relevance scores independently, and presents only the essential guide information to users, reducing the apparent system complexity while maintaining comprehensive security analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing access requests, comparing them against stored access control information, calculating relevance scores, and generating guide information without requiring user intervention in the complex analysis processes. This automates the complex portions while keeping the user interface simple
