Community Audit Policy Management for Information Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in uniformly managing user communities by determining types of unregisterable information, as these vary across communities and can change over time, making it difficult to maintain discipline and order within the community.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a storage section for an audit policy, which defines permitted information for each user community, and a detection and registration control section that prevents registration of information violating the audit policy, ensuring that only compliant content is registered and made available within the community.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a uniform rule is applied to determine unregisterable information across all user communities, then the management complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different community needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information management system into separate audit policy modules for each user community. Each community can have its own customized audit policy that defines specific unregisterable information types, allowing the system to manage multiple communities with different requirements without requiring a complex centralized configuration for each community's specific needs.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If predetermined keywords are replaced with censored words, then inappropriate information is filtered, but the flexibility to handle different community standards deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic audit policies that can be customized for each user community. Instead of using fixed predetermined keywords, the system allows each community to define its own unregisterable information criteria through configurable audit policies, enabling the filtering mechanism to adapt to different community standards and requirements.
3Ease of operation
If information is made available to the public, then accessibility is improved, but the ability to control and limit registration deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies audit policies before information is registered or made publicly available. By detecting and evaluating information against the audit policy in advance of registration, the system can prevent inappropriate information from being disclosed while still allowing legitimate information to be freely accessible, thus maintaining both accessibility and control.
4Reliability
If a detection section audits information against audit policy, then registration control is improved, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the detection section continuously monitors and audits information against the audit policy. The system provides feedback to users about whether their submitted information complies with the audit policy, allowing for immediate correction of non-compliant information and reducing the need for repeated audits and rejections, thereby optimizing processing time while maintaining high registration control accuracy.

AI summary
Provided is a system which manages a user community provided in an information processing system, in which user community information provided by a user is made available to another user for reference. The system includes a storage section which stores an audit policy defining contents of information to be permitted to be registered in each of a plurality of communities, by associating the audit policy with each of the communities; a detection section which detects a community to which information is provided in response to provision of the information by a user; and a registration control section which inhibits registration of information, provided by a user, in a detected user community on condition that the information violates an audit policy corresponding to the user community.
