Session Handover for Access Control Across Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Different computing devices often have limited input or output interfaces and processing capabilities, making it challenging or impossible to access certain digital components or modify access control parameters from these devices.
Innovation Solution
A data processing system that includes an interactive data exchange component, a compatibility checker, a session transfer component, and an access controller, which can establish sessions, identify compatible devices, and hand over sessions to ensure access or modification of digital components across devices, using natural language processing and access control databases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If access control parameters are modified directly on the first client device, then the operation is simple and fast, but the device must have sufficient input/output interfaces and processing capabilities which many devices lack
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between the first client device and the access control database. The server receives access control modification requests from the first device, processes them, and updates the centralized database. This allows devices with limited capabilities to modify access control parameters without needing local processing power or storage, while the server handles the complexity of access control management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables a single client device to perform multiple functions across different devices by handovering sessions. The first device can initiate an access control modification session, and if it lacks certain capabilities, the session can be transferred to a second device with appropriate interfaces or processing power, allowing the system to function universally across diverse device types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system checks device compatibility and handovers sessions to compatible devices, then access is enabled across diverse devices, but the process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs device compatibility checking and session handover without requiring user intervention. When a client device initiates an access control session, the server automatically checks if the device has the necessary capabilities. If not, the server autonomously transfers the session to a compatible device from the registered device pool, managing the entire process without user awareness or involvement.
Solution Approach 2:
Client devices register their capabilities and interfaces with the server in advance. The server maintains a profile of each device's capabilities before sessions are initiated. This preliminary action allows the server to quickly determine compatibility and perform seamless handovers without real-time complexity, as the capability assessment has already been done during registration.
3Reliability
If access control parameters are stored in a centralized database, then access can be synchronized across multiple devices, but the system requires more infrastructure and network dependencies
Solution Approach 1:
The access control database and session management functionality are extracted from individual client devices and placed on a centralized server. This extraction allows client devices to be simpler without local access control storage, while the centralized database provides reliable synchronization across all devices. The server handles all access control parameter storage and retrieval, eliminating the need for complex local access control implementations on each device.
