Call Restrictor Using Universal Variables for Disparate Database Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current database management systems face challenges in efficiently managing and regulating computational resources, data, and labor within enterprises, particularly in accessing and organizing disparate database systems and generating reports, while also ensuring secure and controlled access to communications and network resources.
Innovation Solution
The Automated Data Extractor-Based Call Restrictor (ADE-CR) system implements scalable monitoring and regulation of resources, enables economical access to data across multiple database systems, facilitates report generation, and provides secure call restriction and regulation through universal variables and a hierarchical schema, integrating features like data mapping, payroll management, and user interface configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional database management systems are used to manage enterprise data, then data storage and basic access are achieved, but efficient monitoring, regulation, and allocation of computational resources across disparate database systems cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (universal variables and data mapping system) between disparate database systems and the monitoring/regulation functions. This intermediary enables unified access and control across multiple database systems without requiring direct integration between them, thereby improving resource allocation efficiency while managing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data access framework using universal variables that can access data across multiple disparate database systems through a unified interface. This universal approach allows the same monitoring and regulation mechanisms to work across different database types and structures, improving productivity without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Ease of operation
If multiple disparate database systems are accessed directly, then data accessibility is achieved, but economical and unified access to data across systems cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces universal variables as an intermediary layer between users/applications and disparate database systems. These universal variables provide a unified interface for accessing data across multiple database systems, making data access easier while hiding the underlying complexity of interacting with different database structures and protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates virtual copies or representations of database data through universal variables. Instead of directly accessing multiple disparate database systems, the system creates a unified virtual view of the data, allowing economical and simplified access without the complexity of direct multi-system interactions.
3Reliability
If comprehensive monitoring and regulation of communications is implemented, then secure access is achieved, but system performance and call handling speed may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing call rules and restrictions in a database before communications occur. Call requests are evaluated against pre-defined rules, allowing security monitoring and regulation to be applied efficiently without real-time performance degradation. The heavy lifting of security policy definition is done in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service through automated rule-based call restriction systems. Instead of requiring manual review or complex real-time analysis of each call, the system uses pre-configured rules that automatically evaluate and enforce security policies, maintaining both security and performance.

AI summary
The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A CALL RESTRICTOR implement efficient and scalable monitoring, regulation, and allocation of communications resources within an enterprise. In one embodiment, a call restricting processor-implemented method is disclosed, comprising: obtaining a transmission related to a call request, the transmission including a value for a call attribute; extracting from the transmission the value for the call attribute; querying a database using the extracted value for the call attribute; obtaining a call rule to apply to the call request, based on querying the database; applying the call rule to the call request; and determining via a processor whether the call is permitted based on applying the call rule to the call request; wherein the transmission is one of: a media packet transmitted during an ongoing communication; and an invitation to initiate a communication session.
