Interprocess Communication Access Control for AR Experiences
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer systems face performance bottlenecks and increased processing resource consumption due to the need for manual, case-by-case modification of permission settings for millions of users, which limits user flexibility and degrades system performance.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an interprocess communication system that uses transaction information from point-of-sale devices to provide access control for augmented reality experiences, allowing users to unlock media content by purchasing qualifying items and earn session points, which can be redeemed for rewards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system manually updates permission settings for each user on a case-by-case basis, then access control security is maintained, but processing resources are significantly consumed and system performance degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (file monitoring system) that automatically detects and responds to permission changes without requiring manual system-wide updates. The system monitors specific files for changes and automatically updates access controls based on detected modifications, eliminating the need for resource-intensive manual case-by-case updates while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting permission changes through file monitoring and autonomously updating access controls without requiring manual intervention from system administrators. The monitoring mechanism automatically identifies when permission settings change and triggers appropriate access control updates, reducing processing overhead while maintaining security integrity.
2Productivity
If permission settings are preconfigured and fixed, then system processing resources are conserved, but user flexibility and adaptability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic access control by continuously monitoring file systems for permission changes and automatically adapting access controls in real-time. Instead of static preconfigured permissions, the system dynamically responds to detected changes, allowing user flexibility and adaptability while maintaining processing efficiency through automated rather than manual update mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary monitoring setup and establishes file change detection mechanisms in advance. By preconfiguring the monitoring infrastructure and automatic response protocols, the system prepares to adapt to permission changes efficiently when they occur, balancing user flexibility needs with processing resource conservation through proactive rather than reactive manual intervention.
3Reliability
If the system restricts users from changing their own permission settings, then access control security is maintained, but user autonomy and ease of operation are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to indirectly control their own access permissions through the file monitoring system. Users can modify permission settings on files, and the system automatically detects these changes and updates access controls accordingly. This provides user autonomy and ease of operation while maintaining security through automated verification and controlled update mechanisms.
Data Source
AI summary
An access control system that includes an access control device configured to receive transaction information that identifies a member identifier for a member and a purchased item. The access control device is configured to compare the purchased item to items in an item list and to determine whether the purchased item matches any items in the item list. The access control device is configured to store an authorization for the member identifier to access an augmented reality experience in response to a match.
