Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication privilege rules lack sufficient fidelity to enable fine-grained control over telecommunication services, failing to effectively flag nuisance or restricted real-time communications and protect Primary Account Holders from unwanted interactions by unspecified individuals.

Innovation Solution

A Communication Privilege Control (CPC) system that monitors real-time communication sessions, analyzes them against predefined rules, and selectively terminates, redirects, or alerts trusted devices based on communication privilege rules, using voice biometrics and geographic location to identify and manage nuisance or restricted communications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current communication privilege rules are used, then basic communication control is maintained, but fine-grained control over telecommunication services cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefine-grained control capabilityVSAvoidcommunication privilege rule fidelity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The communication privilege control system segments communication control into multiple granular dimensions including contact-level rules, location-based rules, time-based rules, and communication type-specific rules. This segmentation enables fine-grained control by allowing the PAH to define specific privileges for different contacts, locations, times, and communication types independently, resolving the contradiction between basic control and fine-grained adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic communication privilege rules that can be adjusted in real-time based on changing conditions such as location, time of day, contact status, and communication type. The rules are not static but can be dynamically modified through the user interface, enabling the system to adapt to evolving communication needs while maintaining reliable control through continuous rule updates.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If communication privilege rules are simplified, then ease of operation is improved, but ability to flag nuisance or restricted communications deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverule configuration simplicityVSAvoidnuisance detection accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service functionality where the PAH can easily configure communication privilege rules through an intuitive user interface without requiring technical expertise. The system automatically applies these rules to detect and manage nuisance communications, maintaining both ease of operation and reliable nuisance detection by embedding the detection logic within the rule framework.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that monitor communication patterns and provide insights to the PAH about which rules are effective in flagging nuisance communications. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from actual usage patterns and refine its detection accuracy while keeping the user interface simple, as the system automatically adjusts based on observed behavior rather than requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If real-time communication monitoring is implemented, then nuisance detection capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenuisance communication detectionVSAvoidmonitoring system structure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication privilege control system performs multiple functions through a unified architecture: it monitors real-time communications, detects nuisance patterns, applies privilege rules, and provides user notifications. By combining these functions into a single integrated system rather than separate modules, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining high reliability in nuisance detection through coordinated operation of the multi-functional components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

This disclosure describes techniques that enable a Communication Privilege Control (CPC) system to determine whether a real-time communication session is to be restricted. The CPC system may be configured to detect a real-time communication session between a Secondary Account Holder (SAH) device of a client account and a third-party device, and in doing so, determine with the real-time communication session is to be restricted by a set of communication privilege rules. If the real-time communication session is to be restricted, the CPC system may transmit notification data to a trusted device associated with the client account.
