Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Cloud computing techniques often bypass corporate security protocols and lack audit capabilities, necessitating enhanced monitoring and control of web page access and information availability.

Innovation Solution

A computer system that identifies restricted elements in a document object model, applies custom rules to modify and render a customized version, and provides user authentication and audit trail generation, while inhibiting specific browser functionalities based on user and contextual data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If cloud computing techniques are used to access web pages, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but security control and audit capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveweb page accessibilityVSAvoidsecurity control

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a browser extension as an intermediary component that sits between the user's browser and cloud computing resources. This extension monitors and controls web page access, applying security rules without preventing cloud computing usage. The extension acts as a mediator that enables both cloud accessibility and security control simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If cloud computing applications are accessed, then productivity is improved, but information security and compliance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesoftware application accessVSAvoidunauthorized information exposure

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring security rules and restrictions before cloud computing applications are accessed. The browser extension is set up in advance with organizational security policies, and these rules are automatically applied when cloud applications are accessed. This prevents unauthorized information exposure before it can occur, rather than reacting to security incidents.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If standard corporate security protocols are enforced, then security control is improved, but ease of cloud application access deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecorporate security protocolVSAvoidcloud application access

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing security controls at the specific level of individual web pages and cloud applications rather than applying blanket restrictions. The browser extension allows security policies to be tailored to specific URLs, domains, or application types. This enables corporate security protocols to be enforced where needed while maintaining easy access to approved cloud applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present application relates to a computer having a processor configured to execute a set of instructions to render a customised version of a restricted document object model. A restricted element in a document object model is identified and at least one rule associated with the restricted element is accessed. The at least one rule is applied to the restricted element to generate a modified document object model which is then rendered. A related computer-implemented method is also covered by the present application. The present application relates to server-side authentication techniques; content filtering based on user-specific and context-based requirements; and audit trail techniques.
