Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face inefficiencies in enforcing entitlements across multiple locations due to the need for continuous communication with a remote database system of record, leading to increased latency and resource drainage.

Innovation Solution

Copying and storing 5-10 columns associated with entitlement enforcement in local storage, allowing for independent modification and transmission of client information without human intervention, reducing reliance on remote system interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If entitlement enforcement information is stored in a remote database system of record, then data consistency and centralized control are maintained, but system latency and resource consumption increase due to continuous communication requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata consistencyVSAvoidsystem latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the entitlement enforcement system into two parts: a remote database system of record that stores master data, and local copies at application locations that store entitlement enforcement information. This segmentation allows local processing without continuous remote communication, reducing latency while maintaining data consistency through periodic synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates local copies of entitlement enforcement information (specifically 5-10 columns from the database system of record) at each application location. These copies enable local entitlement enforcement without requiring continuous communication with the remote database, thereby reducing system latency and resource consumption while maintaining data accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If entitlement enforcement information is stored remotely, then centralized data management is achieved, but resource consumption and system complexity increase due to continuous communication requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecentralized controlVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into a centralized database system of record and distributed local copies at application locations. This segmentation maintains centralized control over the master data while eliminating the need for continuous communication, thereby reducing resource consumption for data access operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Local copies of entitlement enforcement information are created and stored at each application location. These copies consume minimal resources to maintain and enable local processing, dramatically reducing the resource consumption associated with continuous remote database communication while preserving centralized data management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Speed

If local storage of entitlement information is implemented, then access speed and responsiveness improve, but data synchronization complexity and potential inconsistency risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess speedVSAvoidsynchronization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates local copies of specific entitlement enforcement columns (5-10 columns) at application locations, enabling fast local access without continuous remote communication. The copying approach simplifies synchronization compared to full database replication, as only specific critical columns are maintained locally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by storing only the specific entitlement enforcement information needed for local decision-making (5-10 critical columns) at application locations, while the complete database system of record maintains the full data set. This selective local storage reduces synchronization complexity compared to replicating entire databases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for bifurcating data storage to enable implementation and manipulation of an interactive entitlement structure is provided. The method may include displaying a GUI and copying information corresponding to the list of entitlements to using one or more features associated with the GUI. The method may copy from a remote System of Record to a cache memory local to the GUI. The method may include displaying on the GUI signatories with an entitlement authorization; receiving a modification of the entitlement authorization; and extracting a signature of a signatory with entitlement authorization. An input signal may be received that indicates an input signal indicator is hovering over the signatory and displaying, on the GUI, in response to the hovering indication, 1) a copy of the signature of the signatory; 2) a hierarchal list of signatories with current entitlement authorization; and/or 3) a listing of documents signed by a signatory.
