Cloud Rights Management Device for Application Execution Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cloud computing infrastructures inadequately monitor and control the execution of applications, lacking detailed management of operating rights and resource usage.
Innovation Solution
A cloud computing infrastructure with a rights management device that evaluates and manages operating rights to determine execution permissions, coupled with an execution device that executes applications based on these permissions, and includes features for resource monitoring and logging, as well as integration with hardware dongles and digital certificates for security and compliance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If applications are installed in virtual systems and copied in cloud infrastructure, then application deployment flexibility is improved, but control over application execution is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application execution control by separating the virtual system cloning capability from the rights management function. The rights management device is introduced as an independent component that evaluates operating rights and outputs execution enables, while the virtual systems can still be freely copied and deployed. This segmentation allows deployment flexibility to be maintained while execution control is restored through the rights evaluation mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If detailed rights management and execution control are implemented, then application execution control is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rights management device is designed as a universal component that can evaluate operating rights for multiple applications across different virtual systems. Rather than implementing separate control mechanisms for each application, the system uses a single multi-functional rights management device that handles rights evaluation and execution control for all applications, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining detailed control capabilities.
3Reliability
If operating rights are evaluated and execution enables are output, then resource usage compliance is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by evaluating operating rights and determining execution enables before application execution begins. The rights management device assesses whether the application is authorized to use specific resources and outputs execution enables in advance. This preliminary rights evaluation ensures resource usage compliance is established beforehand, avoiding the need for continuous monitoring during execution and reducing overall processing time.
